INSTALLATION & USE
How to Replace Your IPW Whole House Filter Cartridges
- Shut off water supply to the system and relieve pressure by opening a downstream faucet
- Unscrew filter housings using a housing wrench, remove old cartridges, and clean sumps with mild soap and water
- Install sediment filter in the first stage position, followed by carbon block filters in subsequent stages
- Lubricate housing o-rings with silicone grease, hand-tighten housings back onto caps, and restore water pressure slowly
- Run water for 3–5 minutes to flush carbon fines and check all housings for leaks
COMPATIBILITY
System Requirements
This IPW Industries filter set fits any standard whole house filtration system designed for 20" x 2.5" cartridges. Compatible with three-stage housing assemblies from most major manufacturers including Pentek, Hydronix, and Culligan. The 5-micron sediment filter should be installed first in the series to protect downstream carbon blocks from premature fouling. Verify your existing housings accept 2.5-inch diameter cartridges before ordering, as some systems use 4.5-inch "big blue" housings which require different cartridge sizes.
🔧 Install the sediment filter in stage one to capture larger particles first, which significantly extends the life of your more expensive carbon block filters in stages two and three.
