2 USE AND CARE
IMPORTANT!
Please read before rst use.
If you are using a water cooler with this product, please read this! Our ZeroWater®
Filter Bottle ts most standard water coolers AFTER the splash guard is removed!
If the splash guard is not removed, the oat valve on the ZeroWater®Filter Bottle
will not work and will cause your water to spill!
DIRECTIONS FOR REMOVING THE SPLASH GUARD
If you look into the reservoir you’ll see the splash guard with a spike, used to pierce
a hole in the cap of bulk water containers. Grip the splash guard, turn it counter
clockwise and pull up on it. This should remove the splash guard from the water
cooler. If you have further questions about this process with your particular model,
you may need to refer to your user’s manual. If you still need assistance, please call
our Customer Service number.

6 USE AND CARE
INSTALLATION OF FILTER CARTRIDGES
1. Remove 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 lter cartridges back onto the lower chamber
divider rim of the lower chamber (see ZeroWater®Filter Bottle components on
page 4).
If new lters are exposed to cold temperatures for prolonged periods, keep lters at
room temperature for several hours before passing water through the 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 nished
draining the cooler.
3. Be sure you have removed the splashguard from the cooler reservoir. Refer to
page (2) for directions.
4. Cleanthereservoirandspigotsbymixing1tablespoonofbakingsodainto1gallon
of hot water and pouring the solution directly into the cooler reservoir.
5. Letsolutionsitforabout30minutesandthendrainthroughspigotsanddrainplug.
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 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) .”

USE AND CARE 7
FILLING THE FILTER BOTTLE WITH TAP WATER
1. Remove lid.
2. Slowly ll the upper reservoir with cold tap water. Be careful not to dump water
too quickly into the upper chamber when the lower chamber is empty because
it may tip and spill.
3. Allow water to pass from the upper chamber through the lters to the lower
chamber. Water will be ready to drink in several minutes.
4. Test the water using the TDS meter to conrm a “000” reading.
5. If it doesn’t read “000”, ush the water out and pour new water through.
6. Do not over ll. The rst time you ll your Filter Bottle it will take extra water to ll
the cooler reservoir. When water in the lower chamber reaches the divider rim do
not put any more water in the upper chamber, as it may leak. The upper chamber
is not designed to be a long term reservoir.
Safety Precautions: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknownqualitywithoutproperdisinfectionbeforeorafterthesystem.Individuals
requiring water of specic microbiological purity should consult their physician.
Unless notied otherwise, municipal water is potable.

Filter Cartridges
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
How often the cartridge needs to be replaced is determined by how much water you
put through the system and how hard the cartridge has to work to clean the water
you put through it. The more dissolved solids in your water (or the higher your TDS
reading), the shorter the cartridge life. It is essential to change the lters with a
reading of“006” on the included TDS meter in order for the product to continue to
perform as represented. The longevity of the lter may vary based on local water
conditions.Underlaboratory protocols,a singlelterwasratedfor22.5 gallonsinthe

Replacement lter cartridges can be purchased in packs of 2, 4 or 8 from your local
retailer. For replacement parts and pricing, call Customer Service toll free 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week at 1-800-503-2939.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
My ZeroWater®Filter Bottle is brand new
but the water doesn’t read “000”?
First, check the reading directly in the lower
chamber. If the water in the lower chamber
does NOT read “000”, either the lower
chamber is not clean, or the lters are not
functioning properly. Try cleaning the lower
chamber and check to see that lters are
installed properly. If the water in the lower
chamber DOES read“000”, your Filter Bottle
is functioning properly and the problem is
an unclean cooler reservoir or spigot. Try
cleaningthecoolerreservoirandspigot again.
The TDS Meter does not turn on.
Remember that you should not dip the meter
too far into the water as it will short circuit.
If you have used the meter according to
instructions, try replacing the batteries.
My lter emits a strong odor.
Test the water that has run through the lter.
Most likely it will read higher than “006”,
which indicates it’s time to replace your lter.
The lower chamber lls slowly.
It takes time to give you high quality water.
We regulate the ow to ensure the water has
enough time to pass through each ltering
stage and be cleaned thoroughly.
My cooler is leaking from the lower chamber
divider rim.
Be sure the lower chamber divider rim is
placed with the correct side up and is seated
tightly to ensure the best seal possible. Do not
overllupperchamberbeyondthecapacityof
the lower chamber. The upper chamber is not
designed to be a long-term reservoir.

10 USE AND CARE
Operating the TDS Meter
ALWAYS CHANGE FILTER CARTRIDGE
WHEN TDS METER READS “006”
1. Remove the cap from the end of the
TDS Meter.
2. Push the“ON/OFF” button. The meter
should read “000”.
3. Place the end of the meter in one inch
of water. Do not fully submerge the
TDS Meter; this may short circuit the
battery.
4. Wait a few seconds for the reading
to stabilize. You can read the number
when you remove the meter from the
water.
5. Do not use in hot water.
CHANGING THE TDS METER BATTERIES two 1.5v button cell
1. Use a ngernail to remove the cap at the end that says“TDS”.
2. Replace the old batteries with two new batteries (Battery Type LR44).
3. Replace the cap.
UNDERSTANDING THE TDS METER
The TDS meter helps you put a number on what your taste buds are already telling
you about what’s in your water. It measures for the things in water that can give it
a taste. The higher the reading on the water, the more substances dissolved in your
water.
For a more scientic explanation, it is showing you the total number of detectable
dissolved solids in water. With the push of a button, the electrodes in the bottom
of the tester measure the amount of ions in the water and convert that amount
to a number that displays on the screen. The number represents the amounts of
detectable dissolved solids in parts per million that exist in your water sample.
The meter is primarily used to indicate ZeroWater®lter replacement at 006. It
may also be used as a simple method to compare water quality by displaying
the Total of the Dissolved Solids (TDS) in parts per million only. The meter does
not specify what substances comprise the Total. The meter should not be used
to assess the safety or purity of water, which should only be undertaken by a
qualied laboratory.

WARRANTY/REGISTRATION 11
REPLACEMENT FILTER CARTRIDGE WARRANTY
Though replacement lter cartridges do have a 30 day warranty for manufacturing defects,
there is no money back guarantee otherwise. To place a claim for a defective cartridge, you
must rst speak to a customer service representative who will help you trouble shoot any
problems. If a problem is found that may be due to a manufacturing defect, they will then
give you instructions on how to send back the cartridges to be tested by our laboratory.
Depending on whether or not the lab determines the cartridges to be defective, they will
either be replaced or returned to you. Please remember that we do not and cannot warrant
the life of the lter cartridges since there are many variables that aect the life of each
cartridge, including weather, your local treatment facility, consumption rate, etc. We can only
provide estimates based on the experiences of other customers. A shortened cartridge life
alone does not necessarily mean that you have a defective cartridge.
