Then place the additional
ECAIA container S
(2-B) on the
ECAIA
glass jug S
(2-A). As an alternative to the glass carafe, the tank contai-
ner
ECAIA tank S
(2-C) can also be used. Note that the capacity of the
tank is only 0.45 liters. Wait until all the water in the additional contai-
ner has flowed through the filters into the glass carafe or tank contai-
ner.
Note:
In the lower part of the add-on
ECAIA container S
(2-B), the
flow of water may cause a vacuum, which is why some water may re-
main in the container. This is not a problem. During the next filtering
process, this water mixes with the freshly treated water. This small
amount does not affect the quality of the water as a whole.
Then remove the additional
ECAIA container S
(2-B), close the cera-
mic valve and ideally place it in the tank container
ECAIA tank S
(2-C).
Afterwards, you can drink the filtered, ionized ECAIA water.

Note
: To ensure optimal filter performance, it is recommended that the
ECAIA main filter S
(2-
E) cartridge be completely submerged in water and shaken vigorously once a week, or as soon
as the water flow decreases significantly. This prevents the activated carbon from clumping and
optimizes the water flow.

Setting the filter indicator
A mechanical filter indicator is integrated in the lid to indicate
when the filter needs to be changed.
When inserting new filters, rotate the numbers of the filter indi-
cator so that the current date (DD-MM) appears. Alternatively,
the calculated expiry date of the filter can be set. Depending on
the shelf life of the filter cartridges, you can see when they need
to be changed.
It is recommended to always set the date of the filter indicator
to the change interval of the
ECAIA main filter S
(2-E). It is also
advisable to note the date for each cartridge separately in the
calendar. This ensures that each cartridge is changed on time.

Shelf life of the filter
The shelf life of the filters depends on two (2) factors: Time and flow rate.
The filter medium is activated the moment it comes into contact with water for the first time.
This is also the beginning of the filter's shelf life.
Even if a filter is not used continuously, it is recommended to dispose of it after the specified
shelf life has expired for the following reasons:
•
The filtration performance of the pollutants is no longer guaranteed.
•
The risk of contamination of the filter by germs and bacteria increases.
Since there is no possibility to automatically record the flow rate, it is recommended to note
down the respective flow rate. To be on the safe side, it is better to change the filter cartridges
too early than leave it too late.

Filter replacement
Change the individual cartridges by first removing the additional cartridge
ECAIA nitrate filter
S
(2-H) (optional).
Remove the main cartridge
ECAIA main filter S
(2-E). Use the filter hook (2-D) included in the
scope of delivery for this purpose.
Then you can also remove the additional cartridge
ECAIA booster filter S
(2-G) by turning it
anticlockwise (optional).
To mount the filters, proceed as described under point “4 filter activation and filter installation”.
For information on the recommended filter change, see point “
8 Durability of the filter
”.
