10 Regeneration of the ionization medium
If you filter more than one (1) liter of water, the ionization performance may decrease. There-
fore, the filter medium should be allowed to regenerate for at least ten (10) minutes after each
flow of a container filling of the attachment tank.
If the water contains lime, it is possible to decalcify the ionization medium to ensure better ioni-
zation performance in the long term.
This dissolves limescale deposits inside the cartridge and the ionization performance of the ce-
ramics is increased again. The following is a description of how to carry out descaling.
Place the lower part (maximum 4 cm) of the
main cartridge
ECAIA main filter S
(2-E) for 15-
30 minutes in water with citric acid dissolved in
it (approx. 50 g citric acid to 0.3-0.5 liters of wa-
ter). The cartridge must still protrude at least 6.5
cm from the water!
Then rinse the cartridge thoroughly with clean
water from above.
Immerse the additional cartridge
ECAIA boos-
ter filter S
(2-G) completely in water with dissol-
ved citric acid for 15-30 minutes (approx. 50g
citric acid per 0.3-0.5 liters of water).
Then rinse the cartridge thoroughly with clean
water from above.

11 Maintenance and Care
In order to enjoy your
ECAIA carafe S
for a long time and to prevent germs and contamination,
it is important to take proper care of the carafe and the filters. Please note the following infor-
mation:
• To clean all parts of the
ECAIA carafe S
and the
ECAIA glass jug S
, use normal tap water
and, if necessary, a gentle washing-up liquid.
• Do not use rough cleaning aids (e.g. friction brush) to avoid scratching the surface.
• The best way to remove limescale deposits from the
ECAIA glass jug S
(2-A), the additional
container
ECAIA container S
(2-B) and the
ECAIA tank S
(2-C) is to use citric acid dissolved
in water.
• Avoid contact with contaminated objects, with wipes, cleaning sponges, wet or dry cloths.
• Spray all parts of the
ECAIA carafe S
regularly with a food-safe hygiene spray to prevent
bacterial contamination. SANUS
LIFE
INTERNATIONAL recommends the use of
ECAIA+
allhygienics
for this purpose

.
• Always fill the additional
ECAIA container S
(2-B) attachment container via the opening
provided in the lid. If the lid remains closed, this also protects the interior of the carafe from
contamination.
• When the carafe is not in use, close the ceramic valve on the bottom of the additional
ECAIA container S
(2-B). This can also protect against contamination.
• To prevent bacterial growth, it is recommended not to expose the product to heat or direct
sunlight. On warm days, it is recommended to store the additional
ECAIA container S
(2-B)
top container in the refrigerator.
• There can always be some residual water in the additional
ECAIA container S
(2-B) attach-
ment container. Therefore, regularly remove the main cartridge
ECAIA main filter S
(2-E)
and clean the inside of the top container
ECAIA container S
(2-B).
• Change the filter cartridges regularly.
• If the flow rate decreases for unforeseen reasons, shake the filter cartridges and, if ne-
cessary, do a backwash by removing the
ECAIA main filter S
(2-E) cartridge, holding the
lower opening against the tap and using pressure to flush the water backwards through the
cartridge. If necessary, decalcification can also be carried out as described under point “
10
Regeneration of the ionization medium
”.
• 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.
Please note that the
ECAIA carafe S
is intended for treating drinking water only.
