SETUP AND USE
1. Remove the lid by pulling up on both sides.
2. Remove the filter (in packaging) from the reservoir and set it aside.
3. Hand wash the pitcher, reservoir, and lid with a soft cloth or sponge and a
mild liquid soap. Rinse and let dry.
NOTICE: The scrubber side of a sponge will slightly scratch the surface of the pitcher, so use
the soft side.
4. Place the reservoir back into the pitcher as shown in the diagram; the tallest part of the
reservoir must face the front of the pitcher
5. Prepare and install the filter:
**Use cold or room temperature water.
a. Wash your hands and then remove the Filter from its package.
Soak it upright in water for 10 minutes.
b. Rinse the Filter under running water for 10 seconds.
c. Press it firmly down into the Reservoir to ensure a tight seal.
6. Attach the lid.

8. Fill the pitcher:
**Always use cold or room temperature water when filling the pitcher.
Press down on the tab next to the handle to open the filling port in the Lid.
Fill the reservoir with water and allow all the water to filter through. Discard the
water and repeat. The third pitcher of water is ready for drinking.
Always allow all the water in the reservoir to pass through the filter before pouring the water.
9. Set the filter life indicator (APPLICABLE MODELS ONLY):
Press filter change indicator button for more than 5 seconds until the display shows ‘00’ to be
blinking,press it again,the timer will display the usable life of cartridges (in days).
For best results:
• Keep enough water in the pitcher to maintain the bottom of the filter in the water.
This will prevent the filter from drying out. If the filter has not been in contact with water for
two days, resoak it for 10 minutes and then reinstall it.
• Store the pitcher in the refrigerator or in a cool location. If the water has been sitting for
several days, discard it and refill the pitcher with fresh water.

Claims are based on testing performed under standard laboratory condition according to
NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for reduction of the substances listed.The concentration of the indicated
substances in water entering the systems was reduced to a concentration less than or equal
to the permissible limit for water leaving the system,as specified in NSF/ANSI 42 and 53.The
contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water treatment device are
not necessarily in all user’s water.The performance of the filter may vary based on local water
conditions.
Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
Individuals requiring water of specific microbiological purity should consult their physician.
The Vitapur® Pitcher Filter processes approximately 42 gallons/160 liters of water. For optimal
performance, replace the filter when it exceeds filtering capacity.Refer to the Use and Care
portion of this manual for proper unit operation and maintenance requirements. Hot water
should not be used with the Vitapur® Pitcher Filter(Maximum 82°F/28°C-Minimum 34°F/2°C).
Tested and certified by the WQA against
