The Omnipure Q5562 is a 10" x 2.5" specialty deionization filter built with nuclear-grade NRW-37 mixed bed resin to strip TDS and salts from your water. Designed for the Q-Series Twist Off system, it automatically shuts off water flow when disconnected, making cartridge changes cleaner and faster.

INSTALLATION & USE
Filter Replacement Steps
- Turn off water supply or simply twist the cartridge counterclockwise to disconnect (Twist Tap valve automatically stops flow).

- Insert the new Q5562 cartridge into the Q-Series head and twist clockwise until secure.
- Turn water supply back on and flush the filter for 2-3 minutes to remove any air and resin fines.
- Check for leaks at the connection points and monitor TDS levels to confirm proper deionization.
COMPATIBILITY
System Requirements
This Q5562 cartridge is a replacement filter for existing Omnipure Q-Series filter heads only. The Q-Series heads are sold separately and available with 1/4" Quick-Connect fittings, 1/4" NPT female threads, or 3/8" NPT female threads. This filter is commonly used in reverse osmosis systems (as a post-DI polishing stage), ice makers, refrigerators, beverage equipment, drinking fountains, under-sink systems, and whole-house applications where ultra-low TDS water is required.
🔧 Pro Tip: Mixed bed DI resin exhausts quickly if fed high-TDS water. Always install the Q5562 as a final polishing stage after sediment, carbon, and RO membranes to maximize its service life and get the lowest TDS possible.
