3. Pull housing down and away from the head. The auto shut-off valves will stop the water flow.

4. Push the black eco-Tool onto the cartridge ports and rotate in the direction of the OUT arrows, counter-clockwise for 1/8th turn until the stop is felt. Pull the cartridge upwards out of the housing. The black eco tool remains on the cartridge to seal the ports and prevent water leakage – dispose of with RC to recycle bin.

5. Use the attached green eco-Tool to insert the new cartridge into the housing, aligning the cartridge arrow on the steel plate with the arrow on the outside of the housing. Push down and twist the cartridge 1/8th turn towards IN until the stop is felt. Remove the green eco-Tool from the new cartridge and dispose in plastic recycling bin.
