Installation Procedure 3-Attaching the Filter Catridge
Attaching/replacing the filter cartridge.
When removing the filter cartridge, follow the instructions in reverse order from step 3.
Don’t forget to turn off your faucet and set the water selection lever to “Unfiltered Straight”
before removing the filter cartridge.
Remove the cartridge
cap by turning it in the
direction of the arrow.
Push in the membrane
cartridge so that the line on
the catridge is at the V-shaped
notch on the purifier.
Turn the catridge cap
in the direction of the
arrow until stops.

Immediately after filter cartridge replacement, run a slow stream of water through the filter cartridge for 30
seconds before using. Not doing so will cause air to become trapped inside the filter cartridge and
reduce water flow.

Pure Water (Purified water).
The flow rate of filtered water is slower than
that of unfiltered water.
Use for brushing teeth, gargling, washing
fruits and vegetables and cooking.
Use for washing dishes or
other times when a lower flow
rate is preferred.
Use for a high flow rate.

When to replace the Filter Cartridge
You should change the filter cartridge in case of the below given events.
1. Recommended replacement period.
The filter’s dechlorination capacity is 1500 litres. For a family of 3-4 who use 8L of filtered water per day for
brushing teeth, gargling or washing fruits and vegetables 1500 litres translates into a filter cartridge service
life of 6 months. This life may be enhanced by backwashing the filter cartridge.
It is recommended to change the filter cartridge every 6 months or earlier.
2. Chlorine odour remains after filtration.
The filter cartridge is losing its ability to remove chlorine effectively. Granular activated carbon can remove
residual chlorine. When the removal capability is reduced below a certain level, the filtered water may smell
of chlorine.
In areas with high levels of residual chlorine content and / or high water pressure and therefore, a
high flow rate open the faucet only slightly to restrict water flow.
3. Conspicuous decrease in flow rate.
The Hollow Fiber UF Membrane contains billions of micro-pores small enough to remove impurities in
units of 0.1 micrometers in diameter. Membranes are arranged in a multilayer configuration for optimal
efficiency in filtering out micro-contaminants, red rust, coli and other bacteria and cysts. These
micro-pores gradually become clogged during use due to accumulations of rust and turbidity, resulting
in a drop in the flow rate from the filtered water outlet.
