Shut off the water supply and relieve the pressure in the housing.
Open the BigBlue housing with the wrench, remove the used cartridge and clean the inside of the housing.
Centre the new cartridge in the housing, check the O-ring and close the housing.
Slowly reopen the water supply and check for leaks.
On first use, flush the line for a few minutes.

String wound cartridges are disposable and must not be washed and reused. Replace the cartridge when the inlet-outlet pressure difference reaches 1 bar, or every 6 months at the latest. Slight foaming may occur on the first flow through a new cartridge; this is normal.
