FAQs
What is included with the Monarch Water LSF14038?
The package includes the filter cartridge, the filter head, and 3/8" fittings. An installation kit is not provided.
How often do I need to replace the filter cartridge?
The cartridge should be replaced when it is exhausted or at least once every 12 months, whichever comes first.
Do I need to turn off the water supply to change the filter?
No, the auto shut-off head automatically stops the water flow, making cartridge changes quick and mess-free without needing to turn off your main water supply.
What contaminants does this filter reduce?
The carbon block filter reduces chlorine, bad tastes, odors, herbicides, and pesticides. It also includes media to inhibit limescale.
What is the water capacity of the filter?
The filter has a capacity of 10,000 litres, based on water with 180ppm hardness.
Can I install this myself?
Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge and tools. Since an installation kit is not included, you will need to provide your own hoses and connectors or hire a professional if you are not comfortable with the process.
Troubleshooting
No water flow after installation
Check that the water supply is turned on and that all connections are secure. Ensure the filter cartridge is correctly seated in the head.
Water still tastes or smells bad
The filter cartridge may be exhausted and require replacement. Ensure the correct type of filter cartridge is installed.
Leaking from the filter head
Check that the O-rings are properly seated and free from debris. Ensure the cartridge is tightened correctly into the head. Inspect fittings for secure connections.
Reduced water flow
The filter cartridge may be clogged or nearing exhaustion. Replace the cartridge. Check for any kinks in the connecting hoses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This system is designed for under-sink installation. It includes the filter, filter head, and 3/8" fittings. Note: An installation kit (hoses, connectors, etc.) is *not* included and must be sourced separately. Ensure you have the necessary plumbing tools and knowledge for connection to your cold water line.
Compatibility: The unit uses 3/8" fittings. Verify that your existing plumbing can accommodate this size or if adapters are needed. It is intended for standard kitchen sink plumbing.
Care: The filter cartridge requires replacement upon exhaustion or at least once every 12 months, whichever comes first. Ensure the water supply is turned off before attempting to change the cartridge. The auto shut-off head simplifies this process by minimizing water spillage. Wipe the exterior of the filter housing with a damp cloth as needed; avoid harsh cleaning agents.
