The GS2 has two filter cartridges and the GS4 has four filter cartridges. The more
filter cartridges your gravity filter system has the faster the flow and the higher the
volume of purified water. Your purchase of a Water Filter will help protect you from water

the main causes of diseases such as dysentery cholera bilharzia and typhoid etc.
It is important that anyone using a filter system takes time to study this guide as it
contains essential information needed to ensure easy installation and trouble-free use.
Follow the instructions and after installation your system will produce purified water.
