## How to Change a Magic Water Dispenser Filter
### Introduction
Magic water dispensers are a convenient way to have filtered water on demand. However, the filter needs to be changed regularly to ensure that the water is clean and free of contaminants. Changing the filter is a simple process that can be completed in a few minutes.
### Materials Needed
New Magic water dispenser filter
Phillips head screwdriver (optional)
### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Turn off the water supply to the dispenser.
This is usually done by turning the valve located at the back of the dispenser.
2. Locate the filter housing.
The filter housing is located at the bottom of the dispenser. It is usually a white or blue plastic housing with a black cap.
3. Remove the filter housing cap.
Use your Phillips head screwdriver or your hand to unscrew the cap.
4. Remove the old filter.
Grip the old filter and pull it straight down to remove it from the housing.
5. Insert the new filter.
Align the new filter with the housing and push it straight up until it is firmly in place.
6. Replace the filter housing cap.
Screw the cap back onto the housing by hand or with your Phillips head screwdriver.
7. Turn on the water supply to the dispenser.
Open the valve at the back of the dispenser to allow water to flow through the new filter.
8. Run water through the dispenser for 5 minutes.
This will help to flush out any air bubbles from the system.
### Tips
Change the filter every 6 months or as often as recommended by the manufacturer.
If you notice a decrease in water flow or a change in the taste of the water, it may be time to change the filter.
You can purchase Magic water dispenser filters online or at your local hardware store.
### Troubleshooting
Water is leaking from the filter housing.
Make sure that the filter housing cap is tightened securely. If the leak persists, there may be a problem with the filter housing itself.
Water is not flowing through the dispenser.
Make sure that the water supply to the dispenser is turned on. If the water is still not flowing, there may be a problem with the filter or the dispenser itself.
The water tastes bad.
If the water tastes bad, it may be time to change the filter. You can also try running water through the dispenser for 5 minutes to flush out any air bubbles.
