introduction
Water is the most essential natural resource needed to provide and sustain
existence for all life forms. Frighteningly, portions of the world’s populations
still do not have access to safe drinking water. There are many standards
water has to pass in order to become safe for the public to consume;
however, this does not necessarily mean that the water is free of
contaminants. ropur™ has made it simple to remove these added
impurities from the water you drink daily.

A en ion CA, IA and WI Consumers
In compliance with state law for CA, IA and WI, ropur™ water filtration
products are sold and shipped to residents of these states without any health related
performance claims except for aesthetics including chlorine reduction, and
improvement with taste, odor and sediment.

NSF: WHY IS NSF IMPORTANT?
With a mission to protect and improve human health globally, NSF is an
independent accredited organization that tests and certifies a product to
ensure that it meets the regulatory requirements necessary by the United
States as well as testing requirements for many other countries. The NSF
water certification is used as a mark of distinction for consumers to have
knowledge that the product they are using is able to safely and effectively
remove contaminants from drinking water. Our ProOne® G2.0 filter has met
the NSF/ANSI-42 standard required to help provide healthy clean drinking
water.
NSF/ANSI 42: Drinking Wa er Trea men Uni s - Aes he ic Effec s
NSF/ANSI 42 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of
OU/ OE filtration systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or
non-health-related contaminants (chlorine, taste, odor and
particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking
water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 42 includes material safety, structural
integrity and aesthetic, non-health-related contaminant
reduction performance claims. The most common
technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration.
NSF/ANSI 53: Drinking Wa er Trea men Uni s - Heal h Effec s
NSF/ANSI 53 establishes the minimum requirements for the certification of
OU/ OE filtration systems designed to reduce specific health-related con-
taminants, such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, lead,
volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether),
that may be present in public or private drinking water.
The scope of NSF/ANSI 53 includes material safety, structural integrity and
health-related contaminant reduction performance claims. The most
common technology addressed by this standard is carbon filtration.

PrOOne® G2. Performance
The roOne® G2.0 filter has been tested in accordance with NSF 42
and 53 standards, and NSF protocol 231.
Test results from an independent water testing Lab certified by the
state of New Jersey Department of Environmental rotection show
the roOne® G2.0 filter removes and/or reduces contaminants
including heavy metals, VOC’s, monochloramines, pesticides,
herbicides, pharmaceutical drugs, fluoride, bacteria, viruses, Giardia
and more without any add-on filters. Even the contaminants found
in the Toledo and West Virginia water supplies are covered by the
roOne® G2.0 filter. For complete lab report details, please visit our
website propurusa.com.
Now here’s why the roOne® G2.0 is technically advanced over oth-
er gravity filters
1. You don’t need to prime the roOne® G2.0 filter. It
doesn’t make sense – if you’re trying to filter out contami-
nants in your water, why use contaminated water to
prime your filters. There’s no need to buy any additional
device to prime your filters
2. Fluoride, arsenic and other heavy metals are reduced/
removed by a process called absorption using a specially
formulated carbon based granular media inside the
roOne® G2.0, not alumina as used by other manufactur-
ers in add-on filters.
3. The roOne® G2.0 is silver infused which helps prevent the
growth of bacteria
4. Sized at 2.75” diameter rather than the standard 2” as
found with most other brands of gravity filters for maxi-
mum surface area absorption of water
5. With the roOne® G2.0 ALL-IN-ONE” filter, there’s
a. No need to purchase and attach add-on filters to
remove fluoride, arsenic or other heavy metals
b. No add-on filters hang down into the water
storage container
c. No add-on filters to slow down flow rate
d. No add-on filters that require frequent
replacement and expense

A word abou TDS and PPM…
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“A TDS Me er indicates the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of a solution, i.e. the
concentration of dissolved solids in it. Since dissolved ionized solids such as
salts and minerals increase the conductivity of a solution, a TDS meter
measures the conductivity of the solution and estimates the TDS from that.
A TDS meter typically displays the TDS in parts per million (ppm). For exam-
ple, a TDS reading of 1 ppm would indicate there is 1 milligram of dis-
solved solids in each kilogram of water.” TDS is a measure of total dis-
solved solids and NOT dissolved con aminan s. A higher TDS can simply be
high calcium or mineral content. As ropur™ filters are made from miner-
als, TDS may be higher after the water has been treated. This does not
mean the filter isn’t working, it means the TDS meter is picking up the min-
erals that are naturally released by the filter. A M meter is the same as a
TDS meter, it is simply measures dissolved solids in water. A TDS meter is not
generally recognized in the industry as a proper means of testing water for
contaminants. They were created years ago by the manufacturers of re-
verse osmosis systems as a means of demonstrating the effectiveness of
RO which removes most if not all minerals.
The roOne® G2.0 filter is available in 4 sizes to fit all ropurTM systems
and most other brands of gravity systems. Choose the most ad-
vanced gravity water filter – choose the roOne G2.0® by ropurTM.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does i ake for my sys em o fil er all of he wa er?
ropurTM systems are gravity fed and therefore water will migrate through the filter
elements and drip-drip-drip into the lower water storage container. The first cycle of
water generally takes longer but the flow rate will increase with use.
*based on standard filter configuration
lease note it is normal to see some water left in the upper container.
How do I know when o change my fil ers?
Should you notice a difference in the taste of your water and/or a slow down in the
flow rate, may be an indication your filters need to be cleaned or if you’ve cleaned
a few times, may indicate your filters need to be replaced.
Wha should I do if I use a wa er sof ener?
We recommend you source your water before it goes through the water softener.
How of en should I clean my fil er(s) and sys em?
We recommend that your entire system be cleaned every 2-3 months.
How do I clean my fil er(s)?
Remove your filter(s) from the container. Hold the filters under cool running water for
approx. 2 minutes. While doing this use the dark green side of the scrubby sponge
included with your system. Scrub the entire white surface. Rinse well and reinstall. Do
NOT use soap on he fil er. Do NOT allow wa er o en er he s em.

How can I check o make sure my fil ers are working correc ly?
You may run the “blue food coloring test” at any time to ensure your filters are
working at optimum performance. To initiate this test, you’ll just need blue food
coloring available at most grocery stores. First empty any water from the upper
and lower containers. lace a glass under the stem of each water filter element
in the lower container. lace the upper container on top of the lower container
and fill the upper container. lace approx. 3 drops of blue food coloring in the
water and stir. Use liquid BLUE food coloring ONLY (NOT GEL). After a short peri-
od of time, check the glasses in the lower container. If the water in the glass(es)
is clear, your filter(s) are working correctly. If you see any blue tint color water in
either glass or both, that is an indication that one or both filters may need to be
replaced. You may notice some blue tint coloring on the ProOne™G2.0 filters
after performing the test. This is OK. Coloring will go away after a period of time
or you may try cleaning your filters.
Wha do I do if a fil er fails he blue dye es ?
Make sure the placement of your washer is correct. Try tightening the wing nut
on the filter. Also, check to make sure plugs are firmly seated. They may need
to be replaced. If none of these solutions help, please call our customer ser-
vice center.
How should I s ore my fil ers?
If NOT using your Propur™ system for any period of time, we suggest you
remove the lid, drain any water that is left in the lower container and remove
the filter elements from your system and allow to air dry. Wrap your filter
elements in a terrycloth towel and store in a dry and cool place. Do no pu he
fil ers in a plas ic bag. Do not allow wet water filter elements to freeze. Do not
place water filter elements in a dishwasher or microwave oven. When you
restart your system, simply discard the first supply of water from the lower
container.
How long can I s ore wa er in he lower con ainer?
We recommend you cycle water from the bottom container on a regular basis.
Should you need to store water, please store water in an appropriate water
storage container.
How do I know how much wa er is in he lower con ainer?
You can either lift the upper container to see the water level or use a sight glass
spigot which shows the water level in the lower container. Please remember
you mus use wa er from he bo om con ainer before refilling he upper con-
ainer.
Why is wa er leaking be ween he upper and lower con ainers?
This occurs only when you have filled the upper container with water still left in
the lower container.
Why is my spigo leaking?
Check the placement of the washers and nut. Try to tighten the nut.
How do I clean my s ainless s eel?
You may clean the system using a 50-50% solution of white vinegar and water.
Use a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well and let air dry.
