Start a filter comparison from the exact appliance model

Record the reference first

Enter the appliance model and current filter reference from the nameplate, manual, or cartridge. A family name or shopping phrase is not an exact model reference for the row review.

The illustrative defaults deliberately say to verify the appliance nameplate and use CURRENT-VERIFY as a placeholder reference.

Set minimum requirements

Connection, minimum capacity, and minimum life are entered requirements. The default screen uses 1/4 inch quick-connect, 300 gallons, and 6 months; replace them with the actual appliance requirements.

candidate passes a requirement when entered value meets the stated minimum

Distinguish outcomes

An incompatible row conflicts with an entered fact. An unknown row lacks a required confirmation. A compatible row must be marked as an exact appliance-model match and pass all entered checks.
