1. Remove cap and press the ON/OFF button.
2. Dip the Electrodes end of the TDS meter into the water being tested. DO NOT
dip the meter beyond this point (THIS MAY SHORT OUT TDS METER).
3. Press the HOLD button to freeze the reading on the meter.
4. TDS Meter should read 000 (zero, zero, zero) for filtered water. If reading
displays anything above 006 (zero, zero, six), the filter needs to be replaced.
WARNING: If the Electrodes of the TDS Meter have been dipped in unclean
or contaminated water, it may display the wrong reading. The TDS Meter
should be thoroughly cleaned before testing water.

Filter replaCement
To improve quality and customer satisfaction, the following enhancements
have been made to your lter:
1. All the membranes are washed twice before using. This eliminates the need for
conditioning with a gallon of water.
2. The cartridge lid now self locks in place.
When you receive your Living Water Ultra, the initial reading for a 4 to 5 oz. cup
of water may be higher than zero. However, when you make a full cup of water,
the reading will reach 000 (zero, zero, zero).

1. Water Type: You should only pour potable water into the filter. The Filtration
Cartridge is not designed for microbiological contaminant removal. Do not use
the filter with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or with water of unknown
quality, without adequate disinfection before or after filtration by the filter. The
contaminants, or other substances, removed by the filter are not necessarily
in all users’ water.
Warning: The filter is designed to clean water containing any of
numerous contaminants. It is not designed to take water out of other
liquids. No other liquid of any kind should be poured into the filter.
2.
Water Quantity: The life of the Filtration Cartridge will depend on the quality
of water being poured into it for cleaning. The more contaminated the water,
the shorter the life of the Filtration Cartridge. The Filtration Cartridge generally
last for 100 gallons, or 380 liters, with intake water rated at 120 TDS (total
dissolved solids). A Water Check or the TDS Meter can be used to track the
continued effectiveness of the Filtration Cartridge.
3.
Water Temperature:Only room temperature water should be used in the
filter. The temperature of the water being poured into the filter should not
exceed 95ºF (35ºC) and should not fall below 40ºF (4ºC).
Warning: The use of water at temperatures above or below those
specified could damage the Filtration Cartridge or cause contaminants
in the Filtration Cartridge to be released into the water.
4.
Keeping the Filtration Cartridge Intact: The Filtration Cartridge must remain
sealed at all times. If the Filtration Cartridge is opened or damaged, it should
not be used. If you notice any water leaks from the Filtration Cartridge, other
than from the center opening at the bottom, stop using it. Failure to keep the
Filter Cartridge sealed may cause contamination, failure of the purification
chamber, or unclean water to be discharged.
Warning: A failure to comply with any or all of these restrictions for
use and cleaning may result in failure of the Filtration Cartridge and
may produce unclean or contaminated water. The manufacturer and
distributor have no responsibility for unclean or contaminated water
caused by improper use in any way.

tips and QUestions
Question: What type of container should I use to store my filtered water?
Answer: Ideally, you should store filtered water in a sealed container, made
of either glass or food-grade plastic. Avoid storing purified water in
containers made of stainless steel or other metals; those types of
containers may react with the filtered water and release materials
into the water. Also, certain plastics will release a plastic odor and
taste into the water. Water from your Living Water Ultra is so clean
that it can easily pick up tastes and odors from the container in
which it is stored, or even from air.
Situation: The water is flowing through the filter very slowly or not at all.
Cause A: Air bubbles may be trapped inside the Filtration Cartridge and
thereby are preventing the water from flowing properly.
Solution A: Tap thoroughly on the plastic funnel. If you see air bubbles rise in
the bottle, you should release the air lock. This will help with the
flow of water.
Solution B: You may have forgotten to remove the sealing tape at the bottom
of the Filtration Cartridge (Only applicable for replacement
cartridge orders).
Situation: When using the TDS Meter, a reading greater than 001
appeared with a new Filtration Cartridge, or very early in the
use of the Cartridge.
Cause: If the Filtration Cartridge is new, it should trigger a reading of 000
or 001 on the TDS Meter. The glass you are using could have been
contaminated with some material before catching the filtered water.
Solution: If you use a cloth or towel, make sure no paper or lint particles are
left in the container. Rinse off the glass with filtered water to remove
any soap or residue. Also, try shaking off any water from the tip of
the TDS Meter before using it to test filtered water (If that does not
work, your TDS Meter may be malfunctioning).
Question: Who should I contact if I have any further questions or
problems with the unit?
Answer: Contact EcoQuest International at 800.989.2299.
