FAQ
Q: How do I determine when to replace the SO-10 cartridge?
A: Replace the cartridge when the hardness of treated water increases to more than 3 grains per gallon (gpg), or follow a regular six-month preventative maintenance schedule. To calculate cartridge life, divide the 750-grain capacity by your water's hardness level in gpg.
Q: Is the EV910541 compatible with turbid or dirty water sources?
A: For water with high turbidity or sediment, a sediment prefilter in addition to a carbon filter is recommended to protect the softening cartridge and ensure optimal performance.
Q: What are the installation requirements for the SO-10 cartridge?
A: Install the cartridge vertically with the bowl hanging down, allow 2-1/2" clearance below for easy replacement, ensure the o-ring is properly lubricated, and always hand-tighten the bowl without using a housing wrench. The system operates at pressures between 30-125 psi and temperatures of 40-100°F.
