Installation tips

Shut off the water supply to your Vertex cooler before replacing filters.
Open the filter compartment or access panel according to your model’s instructions.
Push-release and remove the old filters and discard them—filters are not washable or reusable.
Push-fit to install the new filters in the correct order (sediment → carbon → polishing or UF/RO stage, depending on model).
Ensure each filter is fully seated in its housing or twist-lock head.
Turn water back on and flush for 2–3 minutes to clear air and activate filter media.
Check all fittings for leaks before returning the cooler to normal use.
Maintain a consistent replacement schedule for best performance and flow rate.

Frequently asked questions

Will this fit my cooler?
If your Vertex model is listed above and is standard filtration (not RO), yes, FK‑104 is the correct kit.

What if my model is PWC‑3500R or another RO version?
Order FK‑108 (adds a post‑carbon stage) and keep your RO membrane on schedule.

Does FK‑104 work with PWC‑3000?
No. PWC‑3000 uses an encapsulated 75 GPD RO membrane (MH‑4206) and RO‑specific filters.

How often should I change these filters?
Every 6 months, under typical use, to maintain taste and flow.

Do I need tools to install the filters?
Usually no. Most Vertex coolers use twist-lock or quick-connect filter housings for simple, tool-free replacement.

What contaminants does this filter pack address?
Depending on your model, the pack typically reduces sediment, chlorine, taste, odor, and various chemical impurities, improving water clarity and taste.

Do I need to flush the system after installation?
Yes. Flushing for 2–3 minutes removes carbon dust, clears air from the system, and ensures clean, fresh-tasting water.
