Connecting up the System

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 rear space for access. Open the feed water tank cover and lift out the water tank. The System is already pre-fitted with the filter cartridges for your convenience.

Step 2

Fill water tank- Fill with potable (tap) water, then carefully fit the Feed Water Tank into the base of the System, making sure the tank lid is installed correctly, or the System will not operate. When refilling the Tank, always EMPTY the remaining water before refilling. DO NOT exceed the MAX level.

Step 3

Turn the System on – Plug into an electrical outlet. All indicator lights will be on and flash twice. You will hear 2-beeps. Flushing, 180ml, 350ml, 450ml, and Reset indicators will all be lit for a short period when the systems turned on.
Flushing System – After powering up the unit, it will automatically flush for up to 30 seconds.

**Notes:** There is no power switch; unplug device should you need to turn it off.

Flushing System

Installing New Filters

If you are commissioning the System for the first time or have just replaced the filter cartridges, please follow these steps 3-5 times to ensure the System gets adequately flushed before use.
As soon as the System connects to power, it will automatically flush for 30 seconds. However, if the Feed Water Tank is above the MAX level, the System will only flush for 18 seconds.

Infrequent System Use or System Startup

To ensure the freshness of the drinking water, flush the System using the following steps. If the Feed Tank water has not been emptied/refilled for more than three days, air bubbles, particulates or slightly poor taste may be evident, this is normal, please follow these flush instructions to remedy the situation.

Note: When first using the System, please check the System and observe there are no leaks due to transit or other damage. If you find a water leak, please disconnect the power and contact the SimPure® customer service center for advice.

Step 01

Always start the System flush with a new tank of potable (tap) water. Remove the Feed Water Tank, empty and fill with clean, fresh potable (tap) water.

Step 02

Place a measuring jug or large container on the drip tray and have a second container ready to alternate as we need to flush the Feed Water Tank through the System.

Step 03

Wait for the filtering indicator to turn off then push the Flushing button for 5 seconds. The System will continue to dispense water for about 5 minutes until the internal pure water tank empties.
Step 04

Once the unit has stopped, empty the remaining water in the Feed Water Tank and pour away the liquid dispensed from the System. Repeat steps 1-4 a further 3-5 times to ensure the System gets adequately flushed before use.

DO NOT CONSUME WATER UNTIL FLUSHING COMPLETE

****IMPORTANT REMOVE TANK FROM SYSTEM AND EMPTY ALL THE REMAINING CONCENTRATE WATER BEFORE REFILLING WITH FRESH CLEAN WATER

Dispensing Purified Water

Step 01

Place a glass or cup on the drip tray of the System under the dispense nozzle.

Step 02

Select your preferred water dispense volume; you will hear 1-beep; the selected volume indicator light will light. The System will dispense the corresponding amount (6 fl oz. (180ml), 12 fl oz. (350ml), or 15 fl oz. (450ml)) of purified water and then stop automatically, indicated by 1-beep and the indicator light turns off.

CONGRATULATIONS! You have completed the installation!

IMPORTANT: If you do not remove and empty the Feed Water Tank and instead add water directly to the Tank, the Change Water indicator light cannot be cleared. Lift the Feed Water Tank out of the System, empty the concentrate and refill with fresh potable (tap) water, then replace the Tank into the System to clear the Change Water indicator light.

Water Shortage Indicator Light

Feed Water Tank Cleaning

To maintain your System, it’s recommended to clean the Feed Water Tank and components after every three months of use; this helps to extend the service life of the filter elements. Check the Feed Water Tank strainer, diversion sleeve, and two check valves located on the bottom of the Tank are clean.

Tank Strainer and Sleeve Cleaning instructions

Remove the Feed Water Tank and empty the water, located in the bottom of the Tank you will see the strainer and diversion sleeve, pull them both out. Clean the parts with a brush under running water. Once clean, refit them. Next clean the check valves. Refill the Feed Tank with clean water and place back into the System base, making sure to locate it correctly.
