How do I know when I need to change this internal water ionizer filter for Lead, Cyst, and Sediment reduction?

For the most part, this water filter for Lead, Cyst, and Sediment reduction was intended to be used in the WATER filter #1 position of your Athena js205 water ionizer (left water filter housing door). The water filter indicator on the front of the Athena js205 water ionizer can show either water filter #1 or water filter #2  life numbers . you must be looking at the water filter #1 indicator. When the water filter indicator reaches 9999, it’s time to replace the water ionizer filter. Make sure you are looking at the water filter #1  life indicator, and not water filter #2 life indicator. Also, remember to reset the water filter life indicator back to 0000 once you install the new water ionizer filter

What is the adapter that comes with this filter for Lead, Cyst, and Sediment reduction?

The AlkaViva Ultra-Shield Sediment Filter comes with its own water filter adapter, to be used inside water ionizer’s that currently use water filter adapters. Some water ionizers do NOT use adapters for water filters and so you would not use the adapter that comes with this water ionizer filter for Lead, Cyst, and Sediment reduction. But, if your water ionizer uses water filter adapters, you want to use the included adapter with the water filter.

How do I install the water filter adapter?

After removing your old water filter and adapter, insert the included adapter into the spring-loaded baseplate FIRST (before you install the water filter). Then, after the adapter is in place you can then install the water filter (inserting the top of the adapter into the bottom of the water filter first).

Can this water filter be used in any other water ionizers?

The AlkaViva Ultra-Shield Sediment Filter for Athena js205 water ionizer will indeed fit other models of water ionizers, but there is only a rare occassion where you might want to use only a sediment water filter in a one-water filter machine(water ionizer)). Therefore, this water filter is generally not used in any other water ionizer than the Athena js205.

Should I use this water filter if I have fluoridated city-supplied water?

NO. If you have city-supplied water that has fluoride, you will want to use the AlkaViva UltraWater Fluoride-Arsenic Shield in water filter position #1 of your Athena js205 water ionizer, while using the AlkaViva UltraWater Filter in water filter position #2..
