Learn how to change a water filter and reset the filter status light on new and legacy ezH2O bottle filling station models.
CHANGE A WATER FILTER
- Remove the lower cover by removing the (four) screws on the underside of the cooler.
- Turn off the water supply; then dispense water to relieve pressure (through either the bubbler or the bottle filler).
- Turn the used filter clockwise quarter turn to remove from the filter head and dispose.
- Remove red cap from new filter.
- Insert the new filter into the existing filter head and turn fully counterclockwise. Make sure you can read the blue label on the front of the filter once it’s installed.
- Turn on the water supply and run a minimum of two gallons of water through the filter to purge air and any fine carbon particles from the filter.
RESET THE FILTER STATUS LIGHT
- On newer models, the filter status light will automatically reset once your new filter is properly installed.
- Here’s how to reset the filter status on older models:
- Remove the top cover of the bottle filling station by unscrewing the two Torx screws.
- Depress the program button for approximately two seconds until the display changes and then release.
- The display will scroll through two messages: “RST FLTR” – Reset Filter Monitor and “SETTINGS” – the System Settings Sub Menu.
- Then the display changes to “RST FLTR”, depress the button again. The display will change to show “FLTR = ”.
- Depress the button again and the display will show “FLTR =0”.
- The Green LED will indicate that the filter monitor has been reset.
- Replace the top cover of the bottle filling station by replacing the two Torx screws.
- Now replace the lower cover of the cooler using (four) screws.
