Question 1

How to replace Nimbus watermaker 5 replaceme t filters

Accepted Answer

Turn the water off from the cold water supply.  Empty the contents of the holding container by pressing the lever to the open locked position.  The water will drain out of the tank into the sink; this will take a bit of time.  Once the water flow has stopped, first remove the pre-filter.  The crimp ends push in--do this then, pull out the tubes.  Replace with the new pre-filter, making sure to have the proper direction of the flow (the pre-filter is marked accordingly).  Once again, you press in (toward the pre-filter cartridge) and push in the tubing, then release the crimp end.  Now you can replace the the cylinder which attaches to the tank.  Release the clamps holding it together, pull the cylinder toward you, and replace with the new cylinder.  It has connection points at top and bottom of the cylinder, so I found it easier to pull it out from the center.  Once the new cylinder is in place, re-clamp the housing around the cylinder to the tank.  Turn the water back on and check for leaks.  You will need the tank to fill, and then drain it again--Twice. (This removes any debris from the charcoal pre-filter.)  Hopefully this has been helpful.

Question 2

104592 same 104863?

Accepted Answer

My RO system (WM5-50) uses two filters: "the four stage combination reverse osmosis and the carbon filter cartridge (104592), and the fifth stage, in-line granulated activated carbon postfilter (104803)". The No. in the user's question - "104863" may be a typo.

Question 3

Are all in-line filters the same? Is 104803 compatible with the pelican 104851?

Accepted Answer

I BUY THE ORIGINAL NIMBUS WATERMAKER FIVE FILTERS. I DON'T BUY OFF BRANDS. I DID ONCE AND THE CONNECTIONS WERE NOT THE SAME. I WILLNEVER BUY OFF BRAND AGAIN.

Question 4

Are these made by nimbus? if not, who does? and how do i gauge quality?

Accepted Answer

They had the same logos and graphics that the originals had. To me this doesn't imply Nimbus made them with their own employees, but they fit in with the system exactly as the originals. The water tested fine.
