Remove the lime from the upper tank, the collecting container and the lid 1-2 times a year or
as necessary using common household citric acid. With this you sanitize both tanks at the
same time.
If you do not use the filter for a couple of days, keep it cool, preferably in the fridge. If the
taste of the water is unusual, then empty the filter and fill it up again until the normal, good
taste has returned.
If you are away longer than 3 days then empty the filter completely of water and store your
AcalaQuell in the fridge.
If you are away for longer than 7 days do with the cartridge and the microsponge the same
you did on the first time you used the filter.
If you are away for longer than 2 weeks we recommend that you do not continue to use the
cartridge but to replace it.
Our tip: take your AcalaQuell with you on your trips and enjoy the delicious water!
FREQUENCY OF FILTER CHANGE
AcalaQuell filter cartridge: every 2 months
AcalaQuell microsponge: every 6 months
AcalaQuell lime refill unit: 2-6 weeks
The lifespan of the components depends upon the usage and can also vary according to the
water quality. The more contaminated the water, the shorter the lifespan of the filters. If you
have heavily contaminated water and intense usage at the same time, please change the
cartridge after 6 weeks, and the microsponge as necessary. In the case of filtering above-
average contaminated water, the capacity of the microsponge will be reduced in a much
smaller measure, by constantly eliminating sediments.
The lime content of your tap water determines the lifespan of the lime filter.
REMINDERS
Note down the date of the installation on the service sheet prepared for that!
The mechanical counter on the lid is made to remind you when to change the AcalaQuell
®
cartridge. Set the date of the last cartridge change there (month left, day right). The
mechanical counter cannot be rotated so easily, in order to avoid an unintentional and
mistaken turning of the date. With the aid of a spoon, for instance, you can set the counter to a
later date.
