Rinse the ceramic filter in cold water for 1-2 minutes before use, or soak the filter in cold water for

• Place the ceramic filter ring seal in the opening in the plate.

MAINTENANCE
Keep the PiMag™ Aqua Pour™ Deluxe Gravity Water System away from direct sunlight.
Hand wash the water tanks periodically (approximately once a month) to keep them clean and free of
deposits. You may use a mild detergent or soap. When cleaning the unit, do not use a scrubber or
paper towels, which may result in scratches on the surface. Use a soft cloth to dry.
The microsponge filter and ceramic filter may be washed if they become discolored or water flow is
reduced.
Wash in cold water only.
Do not boil the filter cartridge. Clean only by rinsing in cold water.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
The microsponge filter must be replaced if its surface becomes permanently discolored or hardened.
The filter cartridge should be replaced after six months of normal use, or after 2,000 liters have been
filtered, whichever comes first. Cartridge life will vary, depending on amount of use and water quality.
See the recommended replacement intervals in the Specifications section.
