• (approximate wait time is 2 hours).
• Discard the 5 litres of filtered water.

WARNING
If water flows much faster than the standard rate (10-80L per day), stop using it and check for leakage in ceramic filters and their connecting parts with the upper container.

Daily Use
Use municipal water i.e. tap water or faucet water when possible. When using natural water, find a clear stream, lake or well water. DO NOT use any type of wastewater. The optimal operating temperature is 5 to 45 °C.

WARNING
Always keep the filter indoors. DO NOT expose the filter to extreme heat or coldness. Frozen water may break the ceramic and plastic parts. Hot water may cause the sealing to become loose.

• Ceramic filter cartridges can be cleaned when water flow slows down.
• Bi-monthly cleaning is recommended to maintain an optimal flow rate.
• Replace the ceramic filters after 10000 litres.

Cleaning

Depending on the source water quality, water flow may slow down due to clogging of the ceramic filters over time. If you find the flow rate is less than satisfactory, it is time to clean the ceramic filter cartridges.

CAUTION
DO NOT use any detergent or soap Stop cleaning when the original colour (white) is restored.
