How do I prepare the filter in my Venus Trap® Water Filter Faucet System?
- Filters for Venus Trap® Water Filter Faucet Systems don’t require soaking. Just run
water through the system for 5 minutes to flush it out, which activates the filter media
and remove any carbon dust.
- The 100-gallon filter life begins AFTER flushing for 5 minutes, so you’re not wasting
any filter life by the flushing process. Tip: Contain the water from the flushing
process and use it to water plants.
How do I attach my Venus Trap® Water Filter Faucet System?
- Support the bottom of the filter system with one hand.
- Align the insert groove on the lower part of the cartridge with the filter indicator at
the front of the filter cup.
- Insert the filter cartridge into the filter cup until you hear it click into place. Do
not force the filter cartridge into the system base.
- Inserting the new filter cartridge automatically resets and activates the electronic
filter change indicator.
- A green signal will flash, indicating that the filter is engaged.
How often should I change my filter?
Your Venus Trap® Water Filter Faucet System has a built-in filter replacement indicator, so
you'll know exactly when to replace your Faucet System Filter—every 100 gallons, or about every
