  • Black activated carbon powder will float in the water when the filter is first used. Clean the water filter and let this black water flow out before putting the filter onto the dispenser.
  • The water purifier must be located out of direct sunlight.
  • Water being fed through the filter should be clean tap water. Do not put grey water or other dirty water through the filter as this will greatly reduce the lifespan of the filter.
  • If you find that the speed of filtration after 200-300 litres is still slow, please take out the top layer of the filter element and was it under a fast-flowing tap.
  • Please change the filter after one year's use, or after 3000 litres of water filtration.
