System Setup
Step
1
Unpacking-Choose a suitable countertop, flat,
secure, and out of easy reach of small children.
Place the drip tray under the outlet. Allow
plenty of space to remove the feed water tank.
The system
has already been loaded with the
filter cartridges for your convenien
ce.
Step 2
Fill water tank- with fresh potable (tap)
water, be careful not to exceed the maximum
water level. Carefully fit the feed water tank
back into the base of the purifier.
Note: Do not exceed the MAX. water level
indicated on the side of the feed water tank.
Step
3
Turn the system on -Plug into an electrical
outlet. You should hear a beep. The system
will automatically start to refill the internal
pure water
tank. Wait up to 10 minutes until
the filtering indicator light turns off. Now
follow system flush instructions on page 9.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT CONSUME THE WATER UNTIL
THE SYSTEM FLUSH HAS BEEN COMPLETED

System Flush
Step
1
Remove water tank- Open the feed water
tank cover and lift out the water tank. You
must always remove the tank to refill. Do
not refill the tank on the system
; this will
shorten the RO membrane life
and affect
the output water quality.
Step
2
Fill water tank- Always discard any remaining
water from the feed tank. Refill with fresh
potable (tap)
water to the MAX. level.
Note:
Do not exceed the MAX. water level
indicated on the side of the feed water tank.
Step 3
Replace water tank -Carefully fit the feed
water tank back into the base of the
purifier
and close the cover. The system
will automatically start to refill the internal
pure water
tank. Wait until the filtering
indicator light turns off
(up to 10 mins)
which means the inner tank is full.
Step
4
Dispense – Place a container 35 fl oz (1
Litre) or larger on the drip tray. Hold the
dispense button for 3 seconds, then release
to
activate the 35 fl oz dispense mode; once
complete, empty the water down the sink,
r
epeat this method until the change water
indicator light starts flashing.
Step
5
Repeat cycle- To complete the initial
system flush, complete these steps five
times (6.6 gallons). This helps remove the
carbon fines and flushes the RO membrane
ready for use. After the 5th flush cycle, you
can dispense and enjoy a refreshing glass
of purified water.
Further Flushing
Depending on your
feed water source and quality, you might need to
repeat the system flush cycles. A total of ten times (13 Gallons) i
f you
notice
a slight plastic smell, low water quality, or odor from the
dispensed water
(after the initial five flush cycles). This may be due to
your feed water source requiring fu
rther flushing throug
h the purifier to
improve the taste an
d odor that may be present.
Note:
If the water in your feed tank has not been replaced for more than
one week (7
days), or you have just replaced the filters it is
recommended that you
follow the above system flush instruction for
one cycle to freshen the water
quality.

Filter Replacement Details
Signs, the filters might need replacing
if one of the following
circumstances occur:
1. The purified water has dropped in quality, and the taste is not as good
as it used to be. Check to see if the TDS level has increased.
2. The purified water outlet flow-rate decreases prominently or may even
stop. Check the filters or membranes are not blocked.
Please note: Room or water temperature change can reduce the
purification process by as much as 30% between summer and winter.
3. The filter housing color fades or is covered by dirt.
Feed Water
Tank Cleaning
When replacing the filters (every six months) or sooner if required, check the
feed water tank strainers, check valves

Tank Strainer and Sleeve Cleaning instructions
Remove the feed water tank and empty the water; located in the tank's bottom,
you will see the strainer and diversion sleeve; pull them both out. Clean the
parts under running water. Once clean, refit them and fill the tank with clean
water. Fit feed tank back into purifier ready for use.
Please note: When strainer filter blocks, it may take longer for the system to
purify feed water, or the system may not work at all. Clean the strainers
regularly to avoid any problems.
Top Tip:
When it's time to refill the feed water tank, why not give your plants the tank
concentrate water instead of pouring it down the sink!
