HOW TO REPLACE REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTERS
Reverse Osmosis (RO) filters should be replaced every 6 to 9 months. The cost of the filters can be significant, but add to that the cost to hire some one to replace them for you, it can quickly add up to a significant expense.
In this video, DIY on the House shows you how to change the RO filters on Watts Premier Filter Replacement, which is a quick release and quarter turn RO System. The replacement is a quick and easy process and should not intimidate you from trying this replacement yourself.
1. Turn on RO Faucet until water runs clear
2. If there is a valve on the tank, open the valve and let the water run until it becomes a trickle
3.Shut off the RO faucet and allow the system to recharge for 2 to 3 hours
4. After 2 - 3 hours, turn on the RO faucet and drain the system to flush out any contaminates

This is amazing and thorough. Thanks! How often do you change the cartridges
Thanks. Depends on usage, but replace them every 6 to 9 months.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
@@DIYOnTheHouse Going to change my filters in the next 2 weeks
Thanks for the vid. I have a quarter turn 4 stage canister RO system and I'm in the process of ordering new canisters, minus membrane. Question: What is the best way to sanitize the tank? Bleach into tank line? Bleach into sediment canister itself? Sanitize after or before new canister install? Thanks again.
I would suggest bleach into the tank line - that should take care of it. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks!
Hi. I have a watts system like the one you are showing here, about 10 yrs old. Since I changed the cartridges last week, the system gurgles every time I dispense any amount of water, even just a little for a quick drink. Don't recall it doing that before the last cartridge change. What did I do?
Hi,
Did you drain the system down all the way and let it refill?
Also knock on the bottom of the storage tank, it should sound hollow. If it sounds solid like the top the bladder may be going bad.
If all else fails call Watts, they are super helpful.
I recently moved into a home that has the RO system. No instructions.
Do I change all 4 cartridges at the same time and how often? One a year? Could I change just the red and yellow the first year then all 4 the second year to save money?
You can change the red, yellow every 6 months and the blue one once a year -- the green doesn't need to be changed, but every 4 or 5 years. Here is a set the we order for our plumbing customers amzn.to/2W1dEYm
Once you’ve replaced the filters, do not turn the main water back on. Turn on your sink faucet and then the RO tank storage valve to let it empty. Then close both valves once sink faucet comes to a slow drip. Then open your main water valve.
You can drain the tank 1st, It doesn't matter. Once the filters are replaced, turn the water on and let the system purge out the air through the faucet and drain. Then let it refill and then re-drain.
I can't find the filters that replace the ones I have. They all don't have the nipple extending up past the flush part
Is there a way you can email us a picture of your system and filters? diyonthehouse@gmail.com
Thank you for your video clip
How often do you change the filter.?
You are welcome! You should change them every 6 to 9 months under normal to high usage. Hope that helps!
how bad is it if I did not turn the water off or close the tank valve before replacing my filters? I have a very similar setup to yours. Let the water run for a while after replacing them to drain the system, but after all that my drain on the RO side of the sounds like there is water running down it when the faucet is not turned on.
On this system you can change the filters with out turning off the water, but I always do in case something goes wrong. You will have water draining for 3-4 hours to recharge the tank.
@@DIYOnTheHouse for sure thank you!
My faucet has an LED indicator that is flashing red. How do I reset that? Someone on Amazon said to remove the coin battery but I do not see how to do that.
If the light is on a slanted area on the front of the faucet base, you remove that piece. On the sides the is an edge, just pry up on that. I believe it's a 2032 battery.
You need to mention the pressurizing the tank portion too
I will do a video on that
Does it make a huge difference on TDS?
You can check out the filtration properties for the unit on the WATTS sight, it is Watts premier r/o system.
Once I turned the water back on, water is just draining out the drain line. Any advice?
Did it stop after the system was charged?
@@DIYOnTheHouse turns out I unknowingly removed the pressure valve found on the drain line. It’s working now. Thanks.
What's the purpose for the drain line to the faucet?
It is designed as a way to keep bad water from going back towards the system. There is an air gap up top that prevents it.
@@DIYOnTheHouse I have the same system and find the air gap faucet extremely troublesome. Given how small the air gap is, it got clogged up twice and flooded my countertop.
I added a check valve and go straight to the drain
The green one is a 5 year RO membrane , the others are 6 months
That's correct.
Do you need to sterilize ro tank if so how do you do it?
Hmmm, sorry don't know if you need to sterilize an RO tank. I know some companies put it in their paperwork to do that when you change the filters, maybe look in your paperwork if you have it??
I wish you would have shown how to empty the storage tank. It was unclear to me.
You just run the r/o faucet until it stops
I followed the directions to a T but now my blender doesn't work? 🤦🏻♂️
😂
