All BARRIER pitchers are BPA-free and are made for for filtering tap water for
drinking. Our products are designed on the basis of the most advanced water
treatment technology and contain highly efficient materials and components.
The pitcher is supplied with a BARRIER-4 Standard replaceable filter cartridge
for tap water. The filter cartridge contains a combination of high quality
activated carbon and ion exchangers to reduce aesthetic chlorine from the
water. It also reduces unpleasant odor and improves taste.
Each pitcher is equipped with a device that is designed to keep you informed
about the filter life status and to let you know when it is necessary to replace
the filter cartridge for optimum performance. Failing to replace the filter
cartridge after its useful life has expired will affect its performance.
Please follow the instructions and enjoy high quality, healthier great tasting
water. Keep this manual for future reference.
