Antibacterial Silver-lite stone
An antibacterial silver-impregnated mineral stone
protects the lter against contamination from the
lter outlet.
Activated carbon ceramic balls
The activated carbon ceramic balls reduce
chlorine and odours from the water and also give
it a better taste.
7 stages in 1 lter
The quality of seven single filtration stages is
combined in one cartridge. The high-quality lter
media allows extraordinarily clean and safe lter
performance.
Pi-water ceramics from Japan
Pi-water ceramics provide nourishment and wellness
for your body by producing healthier water.
Tourmaline ceramic balls
Tourmaline ceramic balls have the function to purify
and release mineral microelements into the drinking
water.
Ultraltration membrane 0.01-0.1
micron
The membrane with a pore size of 0.01- 0.1 micron
removes all bacteria and provides microbiologically
safe and clean drinking water for you and your family.

Filter replacement
The HomePure lter cartridge is easy to change.
Professional plumbing and tools are not needed.
Flexible pipe
This pipe can be rotated 360o to maximise
convenience and save space for the user.
One-way nozzle
This nozzle at the outlet of the exible pipe allows
water and air to only ow from the inside to the outside
direction. It is impossible for any contamination from
water or air from the pipe outlet to get back into
the unit.
Display with indicator and beeper
The indicator and beeper alarm will sound if the lter
has to be changed, based on ow volume and time.

*NOTE: The lifetime will depend on the water quality. It is based on the daily
consumption of 12 litres.
2.0 litres per minute at 1 bar of water pressure
with a new lter (actual ow rate will depend
on water pressure and the time the lter has
been in service).
The lter is designed to serve a family’s cooking
and drinking water needs for 12 months or

FILTER MEDIA FUNCTIONS
1. Sediment pre-lter
2. Activated carbon block lter
3. Activated carbon ceramic balls
4. Pi-water ceramic from Japan
5. Tourmaline ceramic balls
6. Ultraltration hollow bre
membrane
7. Antibacterial Silver-lite stone
Filter step Functions
PE material of non-woven fabrics effectively removes
suspended solids such as rust, mud and sand larger
than 5 µm (micron).
This lter absorbs and eliminates residual chlorine, heavy
metals, and all sorts of organic compound such as
agricultural chemical components, carcinogenic
substances, etc.
The activated carbon ceramic balls reduce chlorine and
odours from the water and give it a better taste. They
have excellent absorption, adhesion and deodorisation
and prevent any dust or dregs from coming out of the
unit’s body.
This Pi-water ceramic suppresses oxidation and
disintegration, by neutralising the harmful effects of active
oxygen and controlling the oxidation reduction reaction.
The tourmaline ceramic balls have the function to
purify and release mineral microelements into the
drinking water.
0.1 µm-0.01 µm Ultraltration hollow bre membrane
lters out bacteria and other microscopic organisms
while letting through minerals, consequently providing
fresh water at all times.
This prohibits bacteria from entering through the outlet
of the lter. It gradually releases mineral substances to
the water and prevents recontamination of the lter with
its silver-impregnated mineral stone.

USER MANUAL
PRECAUTIONS
The water lter can only be used with pre-ltered water from a
water supply facility, such as a tap. The lter cannot be used
with water from unsafe water sources such as rivers and wells.
To reach an optimum and satisfactory lter result, HomePure
should only be installed in houses with a pipe pressure between
1 to 4 bars.
HomePure must be installed at a far distance from inammable
materials and heating sources in order to avoid deformation.
HomePure should only be installed inside the house.
HomePure can only be installed with a cold water supply at
temperatures ranging between 4°C to 35°C.
Do not clean the lter cartridge. Doing so may contaminate
the lter unit.
HomePure can only be installed as a countertop unit by using a
diverter valve. It cannot be used under the sink.
HomePure should not be exposed to force or shock.
HomePure must be kept away or protected from direct light
(e.g. sunlight).
Do not spill water on the water lter.
Do not open the lter during water ow.
Do not twist the exchange lter too tight into the adapter as the
neck of the lter cartridge can crack and break easily.

Pull out the top cover.
Connect the diverter valve to the
faucet. If needed, use one of the
three faucet adapters.**
Open the battery cover and insert
the batteries.
Insert the other end of the tube
to the elbow tting at the back of
the unit until it is properly locked.
Put the top cover back on the lter
and connect the exible pipe to
the nipple.
Place the lter near the sink and
open the cold water supply. Open
the valves and check all connections
for leakage.
Connect the plastic tube to the
diverter valve. Tighten the cap.*
Before using the ltered water as
drinking water, let the water ow
for at least 10 minutes.
* Push the plastic tube rmly and completely over the valve before locking it in with the ring.
** In case no adapter ts to your faucet, you will need to purchase an additional adapter that will t your faucet style.
Always hold the unit from the bottom as the upper part is not secured to the unit and comes off easily for lter replacement.
