Unpack your zazen Alkaline Water system from the box.
(Please RECYCLE all packaging and reuse the plastic bags.)
IMPORTANT ~ pre-soak the Mineral Stones (grey) & Silver Stones (reddish)
The stones are natural and will release mineral dust initially, which makes the water taste
chalky*. So it is necessary to rinse and then SOAK the stones for 2 days (48 hours) to get rid
of the majority of mineral dust.
• Place both sets of stones into a bucket of cold clean water – and give them a good rinse.
Pour this water onto the garden or recycle it if possible.
• Now soak (by covering all the stones with cold water) over the next 2 days / 48 hours.
• Change the water at least 4 times during this 2 day period.
(*You can drink this water if you wish, however some customers nd the taste too minerally.)
Alkalinity Enhancers (AAE) - Pre-soak and rinse these in a separate small bowl at the
same time as the mineral and silver stones.
Ceramic Filter - Gently wipe with a wet soft cloth under cold water, then
ensure water saturates and ows (drips) through the Ceramic Filter.
Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge Preparation
It is very important you prepare this lter as detailed to ensure:
3 Water ows through the lter when placed into the system
3 There are no air-bubbles, which may cause the lter to stop and cause
overow from the top tank.
1. Fill a 2 litre jug (or bowl) with clean cold water.
2. Submerge the Multi-Stage Filter into this jug and wait a minute until all the air
bubbles have stopped coming out of the lter.
3. Now take the lter out of the water and rell the jug with clean water – slowly pour 2 litres
of water through the white top of the lter. Make sure the water runs out of the bottom
of the lter. Tap the lter rmly on its side (use a tea towel on the kitchen bench) several
times to help clear any air bubbles and to move the contents of the lter
during this rinse cycle ensuring water runs through the lter again.
4. You may nd that some black carbon particles run out of
the bottom of the lter – this is normal. The carbon (from
Stage 1 of the Filter Cartridge) is harmless and also a great
cleanser in the body; it will simply settle onto the bottom of
the lower tank.
Rinse all parts of the system containers with warm water
and wipe dry - do not use detergents.

Questions our Customers often ask us
Clean the
Ceramic Filter
During Initial
Setup
BPA Free
Plastic
Leaks
System
Annual Clean
The Flow Rate
is Slower than
Normal
You will need to clean your ceramic lter on a regular basis – it may
turn orange, blackish or brown due to the “organic matter” in your source
water. This is normal. The ceramic does NOT let this matter through.
Cleaning – take the top tank with the Ceramic Filter attached to the sink.
Using a wet clean cloth – gently wipe the ceramic and you will nd that most
of the orange or brown build up will wipe off. Rinse with cold clean water.
The ceramic lter will become discoloured naturally due to the source water
– you can use lemon juice or white vinegar to help whiten it.
Never use detergent to clean the Ceramic lter.
When you change your Ceramic Filter & Silver Stones each year, it is an ideal
time to clean out the inside of the lower tank with a clean cloth and warm
water. You can also soak your Mineral Stones for a few minutes in hot water
to reinvigorate them - let them cool before placing back in your system.
This means you need to clean the Ceramic Filter so please follow the
instructions above.
Why does my water still taste minerally even though I
have rinsed and soaked the stones? The zazen Mineral
Stones are natural stones and will take a few days to settle
down before your water tastes beautiful. If you follow the instructions and
pre-soak the stones this will speed up this process. The water is safe to
drink if you don’t mind the taste, otherwise put on the garden.
Is the zazen plastic safe? Our plastic is made from ABS plastic
which is free from BPA (Bisphenol-A).
My zazen Water system is leaking - help! There are only 3 ways your
system will leak and this is easily xed as follows:
1. Magnetic Tap has been over-tightened - if your system is leaking from
around the magnetic tap it means the back of the tap has been over-
tightened. This pushes out the silicone washers and they cannot seal the
unit around the tap hole. Simply empty the lower tank and take off the top
part of the system. Unscrew (loosen) the back of the tap a little and check.
2. Overlling - The bottom tank holds 8 litres of water ONLY. You cannot ll the
Upper tank if the bottom tank is already full, otherwise water will overspill.
3. The Multi-Stage Filter has an air bubble and has stopped owing - Please
remove Filter Cartridge and follow instructions on Page 2 Step 5 again.

Janet Parker & Vanessa Drummond, Co-Founders, zazen Water
Your zazen Water system has different parts that need to be replaced at specic times:
We recommend that the Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge is changed every 6 months at a maximum. It
traps heavy metals, chlorine, uoride and other toxins in its layers, and after 6 months its ltration
capacity will be impacted.
If there are more than 4 people using the system frequently, we recommend you change the
Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge every 4 months.
