The Osmio Clarity uses the best performing gravity water filter elements on
the market we know of, the Coldstream Sentry filters made in the UK. The
Housing is made using borosilicate glass and with mango wood stand and
lid, making it a beautiful and functional shrine to your blessed water for your
home. Recommend for households up to 4 people. Filters are recommended
to change every 6 months, but it depends on water quality. Please note, the
filters do not reduce calcium and magnesium which causes scale in kettles.
Please see the test reports below to find out what it reduces.
Introduction
TAKE NOTE! This item is made of glass. There are holes that have
been diamond drilled and this creates small shards of glass. The
holes are sealed from both sides with the gaskets. The system
must be brushed or washed to ensure any microscopic glass
shards are cleaned before the system is used.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF SMALL CHILDREN
Important Notice:
The holes for the two filters must be
covered by gaskets on BOTH sides.
The hole for the tap has gaskets for
both sides.
It is important to note that tiny
shards of glass can come off during
initial set up or during filter chang-
es.
Please ensure that after the system
is brushed and cleaned (to remove
any possible shards) after the filters
have been installed, every time they
are changed, and when the tap is
installed, or removed and
reinstalled.

Two Coldstream Sentry Filters - these will come with two
gaskets and a wing nut each.
One 304 Stainless Steel Spigot Tap - this comes with two
silicone rubber gaskets, two Stainless Steel gasket covers,
one tightening nut and a mini-gauze to filter the water
before it comes out the tap.

Before Assembly
Cleanliness is paramount. Ensure that you wash your hands or wear
rubber gloves before commencing. Carefully unpack the box and
familiarise yourself with all the components. Carefully clean the glass
bowls. Ensure there are no shards of glass.
Choose the location for the housing
Choose a cool, dry location with a flat and steady surface. Please note
that if the system is in direct sunlight, this can cause the water to receive
lovely energy from the sun, but if left for a long time will make the water
go bad!
Installation Step 1: Install the Tap
From the outside, insert the tap thread through the hole in the lower reser-
voir. From the inside of the reservoir; Place the second silicon gasket over
the thread, remove the protective film from the stainless steel washer before
placing this over the thread and ensure it is correctly seated.
Using your fingers, tighten the nut onto the thread, ensuring the tap is cor-
rectly orientated. Holding the tap in place, tighten the in inside until the sili-
con gaskets match the shape of the reservoir inside and out. Do not
over-tighten beyond this point. Usually it is not necessary to use a spanner
to make the nut really tight. Most people can do it by hand.
Unscrew the nut from the stain-
less steel tap. Remove the protec-
tive film (if applicable) from the
outer stainless steel washer and
place it onto the tap thread.
Ensure the concave shape is ori-
entated to match the silicone
grommet that is to be fitted next.
Place a silicon gaskets onto the
tap thread and push down to rest
against the washer.

TAKE NOTE! Fitting the tap for the first time (or
when refitting the tap) can cause very small
fragments of glass to shed off.
After fitting the tap, ensure you wipe the area
and bowl clean with a dry cloth and also rinse
the bowl with water.

PLEASE NOTE
If you have any water coming from between the glass and the gaskets it
normally indicates the nut needs further tightening.
Please note the tap lever should be closed before the lower reservoir fills
with water.

Glass Lower Reservoir Installation Step 2:
Install the Filters
• First insert one rubber
gasket through the filter
stem and place all the
way to the end of the
filter.
• Insert the filter cap thread
through one of the holes
in the base of the top
reservoir.
• While holding the filter,
(See FIG 2) place the
second washer over the
stem and use the wing nut
to tighten it up.
• Both gaskets are used for
the filter. There must be
one of either side of
the glass to ensure any
shard areas are covered
over.
• Do not over tighten the
wing-nut as this will
cause the glass to crack
or for the wing nut to
cross thread.
• Repeat the above for the
second filter.
FIG: 1 - Two gaskets must be
either side of the glass.
FIG: 2- Use both hands and the
stand to assemble the two
filters

Installation Step 3: Flushing the filters
Make sure the tap is in the closed position. This is when the lever is at an
angle to the tap (not in the line with the tap).
• Fill the upper tank to the top with water using a separate jug, bottle or
other container. If you are not using mains treated water, ensure that the
water used is in the very least running clear before use (unless if
needed in disaster and emergency situations).
• Usually within 10 minutes or much sooner, the water will drip
through the ceramic filter.
• Check that the water is dropping from the filters themselves, and not
between the rubber gaskets that make the seal between the filter and
the two holes in the upper reservoir.
• Wait now for 1 hour and then discard then open the tap and discard the first
filtered batch of water. Then repeat the process of filling the upper
reservoir. After this has come through the water is ready to use.
• The maximum flow will be reached when the filter is completely
saturated and all the air has been primed out. Ceramic contains many
air pores after manufacturing and it will take up to 5 full cycles for trapped
air to escape completely and maximum flow to be achieved.
• When filling the upper tank, take care not to overfill. The water level in
the upper tank must not exceed the empty volume of the lower tank to
prevent the joint from spilling between the tanks.
For the initial filter of the filter there may be carbon or ce-
ramic residue there. The filter system also does not reduce
more than approximately 30% of limescale so white particle
build up can happen because of that. Ensure you regularly
clean your lower reservoir or as required.

Filter Changing & Cleaning
• If after months of use the flow decreases, it may be possible to
extend the life of the filter and improve the flow by cleaning the
Coldstream Sentry Ceramic Filter Candle. It is recommended to change the
filters every 6 months.
• Carefully remove candle from the unit and handle it as any fragile
ceramic. Using a new and clean soft toothbrush or soft scouring pad,
scrub the filter under running water or in a bowl of water.
• Always brush away from threaded mount, taking care not to
contaminate the mount. Never use soap, detergents nor steel wool.
Be sure to follow the process in Step2 for reinstalling the filters. If you
accidentally drop the candle and it did not brake, to ensure the integrity do the
following test. First the filter needs to be air dried for at least 24 hours.
Submerge it into water container while holding a finger over the outlet to keep
the air inside. If there is a crack the trapped air would exit through it and you
would see bubbles indicating replacement.
Housing cleaning
• Vinegar or citric acid with a damp cloth works great to clean off any
limescale that would build up over time. It is recommend to clean the glass
upper and lower reservoir frequently to prevent algae and limescale build up.
