Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This filter is designed for refrigerators that use an *external* in-line water filter and have standard 1/4" water tubing. It is a direct replacement for filters like Samsung WSF100, Magic water filter EF9603, GE GXRTQR, Daewoo DD-7098, and LG BL9808, among others. Always confirm your refrigerator uses a 1/4" external in-line filter before purchasing.
Setup:
- Turn off water supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your refrigerator or the main water line to your home and turn it off.
- Depressurize line: Dispense water from the refrigerator's water dispenser for a minute to release any pressure in the line.
- Disconnect old filter: Carefully pull the old filter out. Note the direction of water flow (usually indicated by an arrow on the filter body).
- Connect new filter: Push the new Omnipure K2533JJ filter firmly into the 1/4" tubing, ensuring it is oriented in the correct direction of water flow.
- Turn on water supply: Restore the water supply and check for leaks at the connection points.
- Flush the system: Dispense and discard at least 2-3 gallons of water (or follow your refrigerator manufacturer's recommendations) to flush the new filter before use.
Care:
- Replace the filter every 12 months or after 1500 gallons, whichever comes first, to maintain optimal performance and water quality.
- Periodically check connections for leaks.
- Keep the filter in its original packaging until ready for installation to prevent contamination.
