7. Instructions for cartridge
cleaning/ reverse ushing
In case of clogging, please see the
following instructions:
Step 1: Hold the bottom of SIFT+ rmly
and turn the top shell anti-clockwise
to open the lter unit and remove the
cartridge.
Step 2: Gently tap the sides of the
cartridge against the wall to loosen
lumps that may have formed inside.
Step 3: Flip the cartridge with the
‘DOWN’ side facing upwards and re-
insert. Close the top shell by turning it
clockwise.
Step 4: Reverse Flushing- Attach SIFT+ to
a tap/faucet. Turn on the water and step
away from the path of the water. Let the
water ow out for 3-5 minutes. This will
ush out most sediments which may be
clogging the shower lter.
Step 5: Re-insert the cartridge with
the ‘UP’ side facing upwards. Close the
top shell and re-attach to your shower
head/faucet. This should resolve
clogging issues

9. Troubleshooting
Symptom:
Water ow from the shower lter
has reduced gradually/ after not
using it for a while
Solution :
When water pressure gradually
drops from your SIFT+ lter, it is
usually because of these reasons:
1. The lter has not been used
for several days & the sediments
trapped inside may have solidied
2. There is sediment accumulation
inside the cartridge that has
clogged the lter. This is normal in
areas with high sediment levels.
3. The cartridge has crossed its
capacity of 25,000 liters and
reached the end of its life.
Steps to Follow:
1. Vigorously shake the lter
cartridge to loosen any lumps that
may have formed inside. If clogging
still does not reduce, then
2. Please clean the cartridge by
reverse ushing (see section 7 for
more details)
3. If clogging still occurs, then a
new cartridge will be need to be
purchased.
Symptom:
Water leaks from the outer shell
joint
Solution:
This is likely due to the O Ring of the
main shell (top or bottom) not being
in position. You can re-seat the O
Ring and this should solve the leak.
Symptom:
Water leaks from the top/bottom
connectors
Solution: If the leak is from the
top connector, you can check/re-
insert/add additional washers and
wrap the shower/tap connectors
with Teon tape as well. Check the
washers- you may need to purchase
extra washers to get the right leak-
free t for certain types of shower-
heads /hand showers/ shower
arms. Washers are easily available
at any local hardware shops.

10. FAQs
Will the SIFT+ shower & tap lter
reduce the TDS of my water?
No, the SIFT+ is not designed
to reduce TDS levels. TDS (PPM)
merely means there is ‘something
‘ in your water-eg. If you dissolve
10g of sugar in a glass and 10g of
salt in another glass, the TDS value
would be similar, so TDS is not
always the best measurement of
water quality-as it can be good,
bad or harmless! A reduction in
TDS can happen only with drinking
water lters-RO/Nano lters.
How often should I changed the
Cartridge?
The cartridge is designed to lter
approximately 25,000L, which
is roughly 6 months of use. For
however if you live in an area with
high sediment contaminations, the
cartridge might get choked sooner.
Can I use the SIFT+ with hot water?
Yes, SIFT+ works well with hot
water up to 70 degrees Celsius.
Will SIFT+ reduce iron from water?
No, SIFT+ cannot remove Iron
content from water.
Are there any ingredients that can
cause allergy?
All ingredients are completely safe
and the same kind of ltration
media that’s found in drinking
water systems. However , if you
do develop any kind of allergic
reaction, discontinue use of the
product and immediately consult
a doctor.
