6 USE AND CARE
INSTALLATION OF FILTER CARTRIDGES
1. Remove fi lter cartridges from packaging.
2. Tightly screw cartridge into hole on bottom side of reservoir to obtain a complete
seal with the o-ring, otherwise your water will not read “000”(see ZeroWater
®
Filter Bottle components on page 4).
3. Place upper chamber with attached fi lter cartridges back onto the lower chamber
divider rim of the lower chamber (see ZeroWater
®
Filter Bottle components on
page 4).
If new fi lters are exposed to cold temperatures for prolonged periods, keep fi lters at
room temperature for several hours before passing water through the fi rst time.
USING YOUR FILTER BOTTLE WITH A STANDARD
WATER COOLER
(sold separately)
1. Unplug your cooler.
2. Drain all water from the cooler using the spigots and the drain plug in the back
of the cooler. Using a cooler without water in it, when plugged in, can cause it
to smoke and break. Make sure you secure the drain plug when you are fi nished
draining the cooler.
3. Be sure you have removed the splashguard from the cooler reservoir. Refer to
page (2) for directions.
4. Clean the reservoir and spigots by mixing 1 tablespoon of baking soda into 1 gallon
of hot water and pouring the solution directly into the cooler reservoir.
5. Let solution sit for about 30 minutes and then drain through spigots and drain plug.
6. Flush the cooler with three gallons of plain hot water using same method. Secure
the drain plug. The total capacity of the bottom chamber is three gallons.
7. Do not replace the splashguard or spike fi xture.
8. Now your cooler is ready for your assembled ZeroWater
®
Filter Bottle. Add water
before plugging cooler back into electrical outlet (See step 6 under section “Filling
the ZeroWater
®
Filter Bottle with Tap Water on page 7).”
