PURPOSE
GEYSER countertop cartridge filters are intended for final purification of tap water from
harmful impurities (chlorine, heavy metals, nitrates, pesticides, etc.), suspended particles,
excess hardness salts and for the correction of mineral composition.
WATER PURIFICATION PRINCIPALS
Water purification and conditioning are fulfilled by replaceable filter elements of Slim Line 10"
standard made on the basis of ion-exchange microporous polymer -ARAGON material, pressed
activated carbon-block and additional inserts and mineralizers.
1) Ion exchange microporous polymer (Aragon) is a material, combining three purification
methods: mechanical, sorption and ion-exchange, simultaneously removing all harmful
impurities from water: (chlorine, iron, heavy metals, carcinogens, bacteria and viruses).
Silver, added to the composition of the material in metal indelible form, completely blocks the
generation of bacteria.
During the process of filtration through the Aragon cartridge, the structure of the dissolved
hardness salts changes and transforms from calcite form into aragonite (available form of
calcium). Regular use of water treated by Aragon cartridge reduces the risk of urolithic illness.
The manufacturing technology of Aragon material is the patented technology and expertise of
GEYSER.
Filter element can be reused after regeneration. Sudden pressure drop of the filtrate water
prompts user to replace the filter element (self-indication mechanism). Filter material entirely
excludes the ingress of filtered dirt into treated water (antidischarge mechanism).
TREATMENT EFFICIENCY
Aragon cartridge is able to remove up to 14-15g of hardness salts, after this period the
regeneration is required.
2) Activated carbon is a highly efficient adsorbent made of coconut shell. It improves taste,
color, odor and transparency of water. It is used in the form of activated carbon inserts (U, U(V)),
or as a separate (CBC)*, manufactured from pressed activated carbon according to
"carbon-block" technology. Silver added into the composition of the material, suppresses the
reproduction of filtered bacteria.

MODIFICATIONS
Filters are produced in the following modifications:
G-1U euro - for soft water
G-1UH euro, G-1UH (I) euro - for hard water
G-1C euro - for very hard water
G-1UK euro - for conditioning of water
*Carbon block cartridge (CBC).

Aragon-M - cartridge for soft water. It is saturated with calcium salts, therefore leaving
hardness salts in water.
Aragon-H, Aragon 2 - cartridges for hard water. Removes excess hardness salts. Due to the
presence of ion-exchange resin in its composition, the resource to remove hardness salts of
Aragon 2 is 12 times greater than the standard Aragon material.
U, U (V) replaceable activated carbon inserts. They improve taste, color, odor of water.
С (V) replaceable insert with ion-exchange softening resin. Removes excess of hardness
salts.
В (Ca) container-mineralizer with mineral calcium salts.
В (H) "Anti-scale" container-mineralizer with hydrogen ions. It prolongs the lifetime of С (V)
insert and prevents scale formation.
В (I) container-mineralizer is intended for enrichment of drinking water with iodine.

The type of filter connection to the faucet spout depends on the design of the mixing faucet.
If the faucet spout has aerator, remove it.
In case the faucet spout has an external M22xl screw thread, then the diverter is screwed
directly on the faucet spout.
In case the spout has an internal M24xl screw thread, diverter connects to the spout through
22/24 adapter.
If spout has no thread and its external diameter is 14-16 mm, then the diverter is connected
to the spout through the adapter IDA-01 (not shipped in the standard kit).
Before the first installation of the filter, tighten up the housing using the wrench (item
9): usually shipped not tightened.
After the first filling, filter should be turned upside-down. Wait for relieve to release,
and then put the filter back into operating position.
Before starting the operation: wash out the filter up to complete washing away of carbon
(or other) dust traces. Filter washing should be also done in the following cases:
a) after cartridge replacement;
b) after a long (more than 5 days) interruption in operation.

SERVICING THE FILTER

All cartridges are to be replaced when resource serves its time.
Service should be done not less than once a year.
Before the sendee of the filter, block water delivery to it and arrange
on gathering water from the case.
Mechanical treatment
For purification it is required to turn off the filter housing with the
wrench (Fig. 1, item 9), remove the filter-housing, turn off the cartridge
cap with a special wrench (10), remove the mineralizer (if there is any).
Set the wrench against a cap in the bottom of internal insert to push
out it through threading spout, tighten the cap securely, wash the
cartridge surface in warm water and clean with a soft brush (e.g. a
clothes-brush).
Hardness salts removal
(performed following the mechanical purification)
Prepare solution for regeneration. Put 40g of citric acid
into 1,5-2 litre reservoir, then add 30g (2 tablespoonfuls)
of soda and pour 1 litre of water. Water should be poured
by portions so to avoid excess foaming (evolution of
carbon dioxide).
Install the cartridge into the housing, having removed a
decorative cap (See Figure 1, item 3) and fill the housing
with prepared solution (approximately 0,6 litres) (See
Figure 3 a). Leave it for 10-12 hours, after that take out
the cartridge and pour out the used solution. Put the
cartridge into a sink vertically and pass the remained
solution through it, filling the solution inside the cartridge
through a threading spout. Let the solution drain off
completely (See Figure 3b). Wash off the rest of the
solution from a cartridge in two stages.
Before the first installation of the filter, tighten up the housing using the wrench (item
9): usually shipped not tightened.
After the first filling, filter should be turned upside-down. Wait for relieve to release,
and then put the filter back into operating position.
Before starting the operation: wash out the filter up to complete washing away of carbon
(or other) dust traces. Filter washing should be also done in the following cases:
a) after cartridge replacement;
b) after a long (more than 5 days) interruption in operation.

SERVICING THE FILTER

First fill in 31 of water (by portions) up to the top of the cartridge through the threading spout.
Then wrap the neck with polyethylene film and fasten with a rubber band or twine. Put the
cartridge bottom up and unscrew the bottom cover using a proper wrench. Keeping in this
position put cartridge into a sink vertically and fill with 31 of water more as described above.
Unwrap and put the bottom cover back to its place. Assemble the filter in reverse order. Open
the faucet and wash the filter through with water for 3 minutes at the rate of 1-1.5 1/min.
Iron salts removal (performed following the mechanical purification)
In enamelled or glass ware prepare 3 litres of hot 3 % citric acid solution (30g or 2
tablespoonful for 1 litre of water).
Put the filter element into a sink or suitable reservoir on a support and pour prepared solution
through, filling it inside the filter-cartridge through a threading neck by portions up to the very top,
until the solution coming out of it does not become clean and transparent.
Prepare 0,61 of 2% baking soda solution (1 teaspoon of soda for 0,61).
Put the cartridge into the housing and pour soda solution inside. Solution should be filled
through the threading neck of the cartridge until the whole cartridge and the housing will be filled
with solution (See Figure 3b).
In an hour pour out the solution, assemble the filter in the reverse order and wash it through
for 5 minutes.
Inserts and mineralizer replacement
When the resource of carbon or softener inserts and mineralizer is exhausted, the following
steps should be taken:
- turn off the filter housing, screw out the cartridge and its cap, take out the mineralizer (if
there is any), and push out the insert as described above;
- screw back the cap, lower new mineralizer (open side up), having removed a cover from it.
Then lower new carbon or softener insert, grooves down.
- assemble the filter in reverse order, then wash it until traces of carbon or other dust in water
disappear.
Regeneration of softening insert (removal of hardness salts)
- turn off the filter housing, turn out the cartridge and its cap, take out the mineralizer;
- prepare 3 litres of 10% common non-iodized salt solution: stir up one glass of salt (without
any additives and admixtures) in three-litre jar of water;
- put the cartridge vertically inside the suitable reservoir and pour prepared salt solution by
portions inside the softening insert;
- install the mineralizer back, screw in the cap, assemble the filter, connect it to the faucet and
wash it until salty taste of water disappears (approximately for 1-2 min.).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, STORAGE AND SHIPPING
To avoid cracking of Aragon cartridge, it should be always kept in wet state.
When there are any interruptions in the filter usage of more than 1 month, be sure that water
remains in the filter housing.
If the housing was once disassembled, to provide smoother tightening of the housing at next
assembling, apply some vaseline to the rubber o-ring.
Protect filter and cartridges from damaging, falling and water freezing inside the housing and
cartridges.
Shipment is allowed by any transportation mode (except for unheated aircraft sections), in
accordance with the shipping rules applicable for a particular transportation mode.
The filter must be stored packed, at a distance of at least lm from the heating appliances, at
a temperature of no lower than 1°C. Keep away from direct sunlight. No freezing or drying is
allowed. Do not expose to aerosols, corrosive and odorous liquids.
