use iodized salt);
- place the cartridge with the attached plastic bottle in an upright position (e.g. into a jar).
Direct the plastic tube towards the sink;
- pour the salt solution through the filter, taking care not to let the sediment that remained
during the dissolving of the salt enter the cartridge;
- after the salt solution, pour 2.5 litres of boiled water through the cartridge;
- The cartridge is now ready for use.
Replacing the shut-off valve (18)
If the shut-off valve has signalled a leak and closed the water supply, it should be replaced
in accordance with the following procedure (failure to do so prevents further use of the
water fountain):
- Open the water fountain cabinet door.
- Remove the used shut-off valve.
- Place the valve inside the fountain cabinet in such a way that the safety spring
with litmus paper touches the special gasket at the bottom of the fountain
cabinet (Fig. 8).
- Connect the hose (1) at the valve inlet (marked blue).
- Connect the hose (2) to the valve outlet (marked white).
The inlet/outlet is marked with an arrow on the plastic part of the valve screen (It is
important that the valve handle is in a horizontal position).
AQUAPHOR cartridge wear electronic counter
The timer turns on automatically when water starts flowing through it and turns off 10
seconds after the water stops flowing. By pressing the "SET" button, you can check the
status of the three modes of the counter: the amount remaining until the end of the cartridge
use in litres (litre), water filtration rate (l/m) and the number of days until the end of the
cartridge use in days (day) (Fig. 9 ).
Fig. 9.

Signals
The end of filter service life signal
When 30 litres or 7 days of filter service life is left, A SINGLE beep will sound, and the
display will flash the values to indicate the need to replace the filter cartridge soon. The
sound signal will stop when the meter is turned on using the "SET" button or when water
begins to flow through the meter.
The end of service life signal
When the filter is used up completely (0 litres or 0 days), TWO beeps will sound to inform
you that the cartridge needs to be replaced. The sound signal will stop when the meter is
turned on using the "SET" button or when water begins to flow through the meter.
The flat battery signal
When the battery voltage drops below the normal level (the battery is flat), TWO beeps will
sound to inform you that the battery needs to be replaced. The sound signal will stop when
the meter is turned on using the "SET" button or when water begins to flow through the
meter.
PLEASE NOTE:
If the water fountain is not used for a day or more (e.g. if you are away or during a holiday
break), access to cold water should be blocked (the inlet tap should be turned off).
If the water fountain has not been used for more than a week, first let the water run for 5
minutes.
During transport, storage, and use of the water filter, the water fountain should be protected
against impacts or falls. Also, protect the device against freezing of the water inside. If the
water has a higher degree of hardness at 500 mg CaCO3/l, after softening it may have a
slightly salty taste. This is due to the exchange of calcium ions with sodium ions. However,
this is not a malfunction and is completely safe for your health.
If the ambient temperature during the water fountain operation reaches 38°С or more (more
than its maximum operating temperature), the device should be disconnected from the cold
water supply until the temperature drops.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY7
Warranty period* of operation of the water fountain (excluding the replaceable filter
cartridges and the cut-off valve) is 2 years from the date of sale.
Service life** of the fountain (excluding replaceable filter cartridges and cut-off valve) is 5
years from the date of sale. At the end of its service life, the fountain should be replaced with
a new one. Using the water fountain past its service life may lead to the loss of airtightness.
Expiry date (service life) of the replaceable filter cartridges in combination with:
K3, K7F, K7 - 8,000 litres, but not more than 12 months***
K3, KH, K7 - 6,000 litres, but not more than 6 months***
The service life of variable filter cartridges is calculated from the date the fountain is sold to
the user at the point of sale. The date of sale of the fountain (with replaceable filter
cartridges) is listed by the seller in the water fountain's manual. If the date of sale is missing
from the instruction manual or the instruction manual has been lost by the user, the expiry
date is calculated from the production date of the replaceable filter cartridges (the
production date on the body of the replaceable filter cartridge).
*** The position of the Aquaphor company - consumer safety.
The water fountain should solve two of the most important tasks for the user:
1) remove small amounts of harmful substances from the water throughout the entire
period of use.
2) in exceptional circumstances, protect the health of the user by reducing the amount of
harmful substances significantly exceeding the permissible levels, bringing them down
to a level acceptable by with the applicable sanitary requirements.
The electronic counter of the consumption of cartridges which calculates both the time and
the water volume influences user safety.
The cartridge wear indicator in litres is intended for a group of users who use water
fountains all the time (bars and restaurants, schools, health care facilities, etc.).
Efficiency (service life) counted over time is designed to ensure the safety of individual
users (families), and is directly related to the capability to perform task no. 2.
The water fountain is a device ensuring constant access to freshly filtered water in virtually
unlimited amounts. The water from the fountain is intended for direct consumption. It does
not require the use of disposable cups. It is perfect for quenching thirst after a class or at
work.
The AQUAPHOR water pre-filter (at the water connection to the building) helps the filter to
operate more efficiently, especially if the water contains large amounts of undissolved
pollutants.
