Shown above are the available pod lter options in Drinkpod’s water purication
product line.
F1. ULTRA+3 Hybrid Scrub (Included)- Recommended for internal lter slot.
May be replaced by Polishing Scrub for increased ow rate (at the cost of
purication quality). The ULTRA+3 hybrid water lter replacement pod utilizes
activated carbon block lter (rst stage) to greatly reduce particles, eliminate
odors and discoloration, and reduce chemicals in your water, while also improving
taste. This is followed by a UF membrane (2nd stage) that removes sub micron
contaminants, like bacteria, colloids, and large organic molecules, down to 0.02
microns.
F2. Particle Scrub (Included/Optional Use) - It is only recommended to use this
additional lter (with external lter attachment) if you water source has
unusually high levels of larger contaminants. Use of this lter in such scenarios
may extend your primary (internal) lters lifespan. The Particle water lter
replacement pod utilizes depth lter to greatly reduce contaminants greater than 5
microns in size (i.e. cysts and rust).
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5

Important Safety Instructions
F3. Chemical Scrub (Sold Separately)- This lter can be used as an alternative,
replacing the secondary Particle Scrub. The Chemical water lter replacement
pod utilizes a activated carbon granules to improve the safety of drinking water by
eectively removing common disinfection byproducts (THMs), organic contaminants
like chlorinated solvents and other industrial pollutants, pesticides, and select heavy
metals such as lead and mercury. The process reduces undesirable taste, odor, and
color.
F4. ULTRA Scrub (Sold Separately) ULTRA water lter replacement pod utilizes a UF
membrane to greatly reduce contaminants greater than 0.02 microns in size (i.e.
bacteria, colloids, and large organic molecules).
F5. Polishing Scrub (Sold Separately)- This lter is a great alternative for your
primary (internal) lter if your source water doesn’t contain signicant levels
of small contaminants. In contrast to the 0.01 micron ULTRA+3 Hybrid Scrub ,
it is rated at 2 microns, providing a higher ow rate, and longer lter life.
The Polishing water lter replacement pod utilizes activated carbon block lter to
remove eliminate odors and discoloration in your water, while also improving taste.
Additionally, it provides particle and chemical ltration.

ow stops.
4. If you aren’t replacing the
F1
ULTRA+3 Hybrid Scrub (or one of the alternative
lters listed above), you can skip ahead to “Step 9” on page 14.
5. Disconnect the tubing running between our 1000 Pro Series’s
BB
Source Input Port
and the
C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve you just shuto, and place end of
the tubing into the container to catch any water that drains back.
6. Connect the open end of the tubing from your
G
Filter Flushing Setup to the
C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve that you just disconnected.
7. Connect the lter(s) listed above that you are replacing to the
G
Filter Flushing Attachment, and ush by opening the
C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve, until the water exiting the lter is clear. Be sure

Storing & Relocating Your 1000 Pro Series
At some point, you may need to store or relocate your 1000 Pro Series. Should one of these
situations be the case for you, below are a few simple steps to prevent any damage from
occurring.
1. First, if the cooling and/or heating systems are powered on, ip
X
Hot Mode Power Switch and
Y
Cold Mode Power Switch into the down position
to power o. This should always be done prior to shutting o water supply.

C
1/4 in. Quick Connect Shuto Valve (see Installation Guide) connected to your
1000 Pro Series’s
BB
Source Input Port located at the back of the appliance.
3. Grab a container (preferably with high sides) , like a bucket or pitcher, and place it on
the oor in front of your 1000 Pro Series.
4. Rotate your 1000 Pro Series counter-clockwise 90 degrees and slide forward towards
the edge of your counter-top (or whatever surface it is resting on) until roughly 30%
of your 1000 Pro Series’s left side is extending over the edge. This will expose
JJ
Appliance Drain Port. Be sure to keep it braced with your body so it does not fall!
5. Ensure your container is directly below the
JJ
Appliance Drain Port.
