Change Water
Indicates feed tank water needs to be discarded and refilled.

UV
Indicates the Ultraviolet light is operating to control virus/germs.

Maintenance
This indicates when filter cartridges require changing.

Power
There’s no power switch; unplug the device should you need to turn it off.
The system enters a standby mode if not used for 1 hour.

System Setup

Step 1

Unpacking- Choose a suitable countertop, flat, secure, and out of easy reach of small children.
Place the drip tray under the outlet. Allow plenty of space to remove the feed water tank.
The system has already been loaded with the filter cartridges for your convenience.

Step 2

Fill water tank- with fresh potable (tap) water, be careful not to exceed the maximum water level. Carefully fit the feed water tank back into the base of the purifier.

Note: Do not exceed the MAX. water level indicated on the side of the feed water tank.

Step 3

Turn the system on – Plug into an electrical outlet. You should hear a beep. The system will automatically start to refill the internal pure water tank. Wait up to 10 minutes until the filtering indicator light turns off. Now follow system flush instructions.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER UNTIL
THE SYSTEM FLUSH HAS BEEN COMPLETED

System Flush

Step 1

Remove water tank- Open the feed water tank cover and lift out the water tank. You must always remove the tank to refill. Do not refill the tank on the system; this will shorten the RO membrane life and affect the output water quality.

Step 2

Fill water tank- Always discard any remaining water from the feed tank. Refill with fresh potable (tap) water to the MAX. level.

Note: Do not exceed the MAX. water level indicated on the side of the feed water tank.

Step 3

Replace water tank – Carefully fit the feed water tank back into the base of the purifier and close the cover. The system will automatically start to refill the internal pure water tank. Wait until the filtering indicator light turns off (up to 10 mins) which means the inner tank is full.

IMPORTANT
ALWAYS REMOVE TANK FROM SYSTEM AND DISCARD ANY REMAINING CONCENTRATE WATER BEFORE REFILLING WITH FRESH CLEAN TAP WATER DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WATER LEVEL

Step 4

Dispense – Place a container 35 fl oz (1 Litre) or larger on the drip tray. Hold the dispense button for 3 seconds, then release to activate the 35 fl oz dispense mode; once complete, empty the water down the sink, repeat this method until the change water indicator light starts flashing.

Step 5

Repeat cycle- To complete the initial system flush, complete these steps five times (6.6 gallons). This helps remove the carbon fines and flushes the RO membrane ready for use. After the 5th flush cycle, you can dispense and enjoy a refreshing glass of purified water.

Further Flushing

Depending on your feed water source and quality, you might need to repeat the system flush cycles. A total of ten times (13 Gallons) if you notice a slight plastic smell, low water quality, or odor from the dispensed water (after the initial five flush cycles). This may be due to your feed water source requiring further flushing through the purifier to improve the taste and odor that may be present.

Note: If the water in your feed tank has not been replaced for more than one week (7 days), or you have just replaced the filters it is recommended that you follow the above system flush instruction for one cycle to freshen the water quality.

Dispensing Purified Water

• Step 01
  Place a cup or glass on the drip tray of the system under the dispense nozzle.

• Step 02
  Push the control button once, and the system will dispense a cup of purified water 8.5 fl oz. (250ml) and stop automatically.
  To manually stop dispensing water, simply push the control button again.
  

Top Tip

When filling a drinking bottle or container, simply hold the control button down for 3 seconds to automatically dispense 35 fl oz (1 Liter). To manually stop the flow, simply push the control button again.

Operational Guide

Filtering Indicator Light

Flashing – The internal tank is empty; The water purifier is filtering water to refill the internal 50 fl. oz (1.5L) pure water tank. When the indicator light is flashing, water cannot be dispensed. The indicator light will turn steady after three (3) minutes.

Steady – This signifies that the purifier is filtering water and the internal tank has more than 12 fl. oz (350mL) of pure water available. After 7-10 mins the indicator light will go off; the internal tank is full. Up to 50 fl oz (1.5L) is available for instant dispense.

Change Water Indicator Light

Flashing – Feed tank water too low (≤1.25L)
Steady – Feed tank water is of low quality.
Action Required – Remove The feed tank as the water needs to be discarded and refilled as the remaining water is concentrate. Refill with fresh potable (tap) water and refit the feed tank to the purifier.

IMPORTANT

ALWAYS REMOVE TANK FROM SYSTEM AND DISCARD ANY REMAINING CONCENTRATE WATER BEFORE REFILLING WITH FRESH CLEAN TAP WATER DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WATER LEVEL

UV Indicator Light

Steady – Ultra Violet light is operating. UV will function for the first hour after starting up. One hour later, the UV light will only operate for 7 minutes every 53 minutes to help maintain microbial control of the purified water.

Maintenance Indicator Light

Steady – Both filters are >90% exhausted and will need to be replaced soon.
Flashing – The filters have reached the end of their life and are ≥100% exhausted.
Action Required – When steady, order new filters and replace both filters together when the indicator starts flashing.

Standby mode

The system automatically enters a standby mode if not used for 1 hour.

Wake the system by pushing the control button.

Filter Replacement

Step 1

Remove the power plug from the electrical socket to turn the system off.

Step 2

Open the feed water tank cover. Wait five (5) seconds
Lift out the tank, discard water, and place it in a safe place.
You should now be able to see the filter cartridges (located behind the tank).

Step 3

Lift each cartridge from the bottom towards you and turn counterclockwise to remove.
Insert the new cartridge in the correct position, turn clockwise until you feel a click.
Note: You can safely dispose of the exhausted cartridges (non-toxic).

Step 4

Refill the feed water tank and fit back into the purifier and close the cover.
Push and hold the control button while plugging the system back into an electrical outlet; when you hear three (3) beeps, the filters service life is reset.

Filter Replacement Details

Replacement Filter Part Number

Part No.| Description| Replacement Schedule (Months)
HEDPF2001_S15| PP+CB Filter Cartridge| 6
HEDPF1001_S15| RO Membrane Cartridge| 6
Note: Replace both cartridges as a pair (at the same time)

Signs, the filters might need replacing if one of the following circumstances occur:

1. The purified water has dropped in quality, and the taste is not as good as it used to be. Check to see if the TDS level has increased.

2. The purified water outlet flow-rate decreases prominently or may even stop. Check the filters or membranes are not blocked.
   Please note: Room or water temperature change can reduce the purification process by as much as 30% between summer and winter.

3. The filter housing color fades or is covered by dirt.

Feed Water Tank Cleaning

When replacing the filters (every six months) or sooner if required, check the feed water tank strainers, check valves, and feed water tank check valves are both clean and free from any obstructions.

Tank Strainer and Sleeve Cleaning instructions

Remove the feed water tank and empty the water; located in the tank’s bottom, you will see the strainer and diversion sleeve; pull them both out. Clean the parts under running water. Once clean, refit them and fill the tank with clean water. Fit feed tank back into purifier ready for use.
Please note: When strainer filter blocks, it may take longer for the system to purify feed water, or the system may not work at all. Clean the strainers regularly to avoid any problems.

Top Tip:

When it’s time to refill the feed water tank, why not give your plants the tank concentrate water instead of pouring it down the sink!
