Changing a water pitcher filter typically involves removing the old filter, preparing the new filter, inserting the new filter correctly, and then flushing the system. Here's a step-by-step guide, based on a common type of pitcher:
- Remove the Old Filter: Take out the old filter from the water pitcher. This usually involves lifting it out of its housing.
- Prepare the New Filter: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for preparing the new filter. This often involves soaking the filter in cold water for a specified period (e.g., 15 minutes) to remove any loose carbon particles.
- Insert the New Filter: Place the new filter into the filter housing, ensuring it's properly seated. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.
- Flush the System: Fill the reservoir with cold tap water.
- Discard the First Fill: Filter the water and discard the first pitcher of filtered water. This helps to flush out any remaining loose particles.
- Enjoy Filtered Water: Your water pitcher is now ready for use.
