FILTERED WATER PITCHER
Quick-Start Guide

Congrats & Welcome

Congrats on your new Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher. You’ve made a wise investment in your health.
Like you, we have high standards for our water. That’s why we developed your pitcher’s filter with our renowned Affinity® Filtration Technology; the most powerful filtration technology on the planet. Now you can finally stop worrying about what’s in your water.
In this short guide, we’ll show you how to upgrade your water from questionable to clean, reveal the benefits of our breakthrough technology, and ensure you make the most of your Clearly Filtered experience.

What Makes Clearly Filtered Superior?

The Clear Difference
Others focus on taste. We focus on safety.
Others reduce some contaminants. We reduce more contaminants.
Others say cleaner. We say cleanest.

By The Numbers

| Standard pitcher filters capture as few as 5 contaminants. Our pitcher filter captures more than 365 contaminants.
---|---
| A dynamic water pathway + a powerful blend of 6 superior filtration materials join forces to produce the cleanest, safest, and healthiest water possible.
| Our filters have a 100-gallon life.
That’s up to 4 months longer than the industry standard.

How Affinity® Filtration Technology Works

In 2017, Affinity® Filtration Technology made waves as the new standard for water safety.
Thanks to our decade-long journey developing the technology in your filter, “better tasting” and “better smelling” water is no longer the gold standard of safety. After all, Simple carbon or charcoal filters focus on reducing unpleasant odors and tastes. Their basic technology leaves you vulnerable as hundreds of harmful contaminants that can’t be seen, smelled, or tasted remain in your water.
Our filters never fall short. The breakthrough technology inside targets and removes up to 99.9% of 365+ contaminants. This includes those dangerous chemicals, metals, and toxins that most filters miss. Here’s how our technology transforms your water from polluted to pure.

In its simplest form, Affinity® Filtration Technology leverages 2 cutting-edge components:

1. A dynamic physical structure: The maze-like interiors of our filters require water to pass through twists and turns to give the filter more time to capture and filter contaminants. That alone means superior performance.
2. A potent contaminant magnet: The precise and powerful collection of unique medias in our filters separate the good and the bad. They identify and bond to dangerous contaminants others miss, and do not target beneficial minerals.

Ultimately, Affinity® Filtration Technology recognizes what should stay and what should go.
Its one-two punch of structure and magnets helps target dangerous chemicals, metals, and toxins other filters can’t.

A Look Inside Your Filter

Here’s a quick look at the filtration components inside your pitcher’s filter:

Filter Prep & Replacement

Your Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher comes with one filter. The components inside your filter work synergistically to provide you with the cleanest water. Your filter must be primed before first use to deliver superior results. Then it must be replaced regularly to maintain performance.
Priming Your Filter
Every filter must be primed before first use to perform properly. Priming is the process of preparing the filter by forcing water through it. This simple step pushes air out of the filter, loosens up the filtration media, and ensures it’s ready for water to flow through so contaminants are captured.
Refer to the ‘Setup’ section on page 11 of this guide for detailed priming instructions.

Replacing Your Filter
To maintain peak performance, a filter change is recommended at every 100 gallons filtered. Your pitcher’s top reservoir holds 1/2 gallon of water. That means if you fill the top reservoir twice a day, your filter should be changed every 100 days (or roughly every 3 months).
If you are not tracking gallons, follow the guidelines below for replacing your filter:
3+ People: Replace filter every 2-3 months.
2 People: Replace filter every 3-4 months.
1 Person: Replace filter every 4-6 months.
Filter life can be impacted by water quality.

As long as replacement filters are kept in a cool, dry place they will not expire. Purchase replacement filters and sign up for our filter subscription service at (https://clearlyfiltered.com/collections/filters.

Tested, Trusted, & Transparent

Our filters have been independently tested to the rigorous NSF and EPA standards by accredited labs.
While the EPA regulates less than 100 tap water contaminants, our pitcher filter regulates 365+ contaminants for your protection. Plus, we test all of our filtration systems against EPA-regulated contaminants at 3-10x the established legal limits to guarantee performance in extreme conditions.
We also keep an eye on unregulated and emerging contaminants. When a new or emerging contaminant is discovered, we look to test our filters and share the results on our website.
Remember, the contaminants we target and filter can be linked to everything from cancer, thyroid conditions, and bone disease to liver, kidney, and reproductive problems. Our ongoing commitment to clean water ensures you can count on us to cover your health, your family, and your future.

Setup

Components

http://www.clearlyfiltered.com/pages/resources?product=pitcher

STEP 1
REMOVE STICKER

1. Hand twist the disc to disconnect the priming bag from the filter.
   Please note: The priming disc and priming bag should always remain connected to one another throughout the priming process.

2. Remove the blue protective sticker covering the filter’s intake holes.

STEP 2
PRIME FILTER (DO NOT SKIP)
To ensure your filter works efficiently and effectively, you must prime it prior to first use.

1. Flip the included priming bag upside down so the priming disc is facing the faucet. Hold the disc below the faucet, then turn the cold water on gradually until a steady stream of cool water flows through the disc’s hole into the bag.

2. Run water until the bag is full.

3. Once the bag is full, twist the threaded base of the filter (flat side) onto the disc until snug to create a seal between the two.
   Ensure the rubber gasket stays in place on the filter when twisting the filter onto the disc.

4. Flip the bag right side up so the filter is oriented beneath the bag.

5. Hold the bag over the sink, then forcefully squeeze it with both hands to force the water inside down through the filter. Squeeze hard enough to see water dripping out of the bottom of the filter. We recommend using the same amount of pressure as you would to force the last few drops of toothpaste out of a tube. Continue to squeeze the bag until empty.
   Please note: It is normal for water to escape from the edges of the priming disc and spill over the edges of the filter where the two components connect.

6. Repeat this process 2-3 times by refilling the priming bag, then squeezing the bag to force the water inside through the filter. Water dripping out of the filter is a sign that the filter is now primed and activated.

7. Once the bag is empty, hand twist the filter to disconnect it from the disc and bag. Pour out any remaining water left. Please note: Save the priming bag in a cool, dry location for future use.

STEP 3
CONNECT FILTER TO RESERVOIR

1. Remove the back lid from the reservoir, then pull out the reservoir.

2. Twist the filter onto the threaded base of the reservoir.

STEP 4
INSTALL & ENJOY

1. Place the filter and reservoir into the pitcher body.
2. Fill the reservoir with cold or room temperature tap water.
3. Slide the back lid on top of the reservoir until it clicks into place.
4. Enjoy your clean and safe water.

Quick Tips

Your filter is built for cold tap water only. Do not attempt to filter hot water.
Superior filtration takes time. A full reservoir of water can take up to 35 minutes to filter. This means your filter is doing its job to make every drop as clean as possible.
Never wash your filter with soap, however your pitcher body can be hand washed with soap and water regularly.
Replace your filter every 100 gallons filtered. For most customers, this is every 3-4 months. See the ‘Filter Prep & Replacement’ section of this guide for more details.
Go to https://clearlyfiltered.com/products/clean-water-pitcher-replacement- filter to get replacement filters and learn more about our filter auto ship service.
Always store the priming bag and any unused filters in a cool, dry location.

Troubleshooting

Pressure is key to force water through the filter during step 2 of setup; ‘Prime Filter’. That’s why we recommend squeezing the bag forcefully with two hands.
If your filter is leaking, remove then reattach it to the base of the reservoir to ensure the gasket is securely in place.
If you find filtration is taking more than 35 minutes, “soak” your filter by leaving it submerged upright in tap water in a large bowl, container or glass overnight. The following day, reprime your filter before retesting it.
Excessive sediment can slow down and prematurely clog your filter. If filtration is taking abnormally long, check the sediment levels of your water.
