Carbon FIlters
1) Approximately every two months discard the used post carbon filter cup
and replace it with a new one. (See procedure on pages 7 and 11). Do
not attempt to reuse the old filter cup.
Note:
The effective life of the post
carbon filter will vary depending on the amount of distilled water your family
uses. If you notice a change in the taste of the distilled water, clean the
reservoir and replace the post carbon filter cup.
2) The carbon prefilter attached to the distiller should be replaced
approximately ever y six months. To change the prefillter, turn OFF FAN
and POWER switches and disconnect power cord from outlet. turn off
the water supply at saddle valve and disengage tubing from the quick
disconnects by pressing in and holding grey quick connect fitting while
pulling out plastic tube.
3) Remove the quick connect fittings from the old filter; apply new teflon
tape onto the threads of each fitting to ensure a proper seal.
4) Complete installation of the prefilter (see page 13, steps 3-5).
This distiller meets the listing requirements of U.L. Inc. but they have not
investigated the physiological effect of the use of the carbon filter, beneficial
or otherwise.
Inlet Valve and Nylon Elbow
There is no need to disassemble the nylon inlet elbow to change the
prefilter. When changing the prefilter it is recommended to wipe off the
inlet valve (see page 13) with a damp cloth. Rinse the nylon elbow with
clean water to remove any sediment or debris. Connect the nylon elbow to
the inlet valve and reassemble the prefilter connections (see page 13) and
reconnect to the distiller. Turn ON water supply and re-check connections.
Plug in unit and turn ON FAN and POWER switches.
