Unpack your zazen Alkaline Water system from the box.
(Please RECYCLE all packaging and reuse the plastic bags.)
IMPORTANT ~ PRE-SOAK THE MINERAL & SILVER STONES PLUS
ALKALINITY ENHANCER
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 find the taste too minerally.)
Ceramic Filter - gently wipe with a wet soft cloth under cold water
to ensure water saturates and flows (drips) through the Ceramic Filter.
Multi-stage Filter Cartridge Preparation
It is very important you prepare this filter as detailed to ensure:
• Water flows through the filter when placed into the system
• There are no air-bubbles, which may cause the filter to stop and
cause overflow from the top tank.
1. Fill a 2 litre jug (or bowl) with clean cold water.
2. Place the Multi-Stage Filter into this jug and wait a minute until all the air
bubbles have stopped coming out of the filter.
3. Now take the filter out of the water and refill the jug with clean water – slowly
pour 2 litres of water through the white top of the filter. Make sure the water
runs out of the bottom of the filter.
4. Tap the filter firmly 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 filter during
this rinse cycle ensuring water runs through the filter again.
5. You may find that some black carbon particles run out of the bottom of the filter
– 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.

Your zazen Water system has different parts that need to be replaced at
specific times:
1. Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge - every 4 to 6 months
2. Ceramic Filter - every 12 months*
3. Silver Stones (red) - every 12 months
4. Mineral Stones (grey) - every 5 years
5. Alkalinity & Anti-Oxidant Enhancer (little balls) - every 12 months
*If you use tank water you may need to change sooner.
We recommend that the Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge is changed every 6
months at a maximum. It traps heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride and other
toxins in its layers, and after 6 months its filtration 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.

You will need to clean your ceramic filter – 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 find that most
of the orange or brown build up will wipe off. Rinse with cold clean water.
The ceramic filter 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 filter.
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.

General Cleaning & Performance Tips
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) and does not leach any harmful
carcinogens or endocrine disruptors.
My zazen Water system is leaking - help! There are only 3 ways your system
will leak and this is easily fixed 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. Overfilling - The bottom tank holds 8 litres of water ONLY. You cannot fill
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 flowing - Please
remove Filter Cartridge and follow instructions on Page 2 Step 4 again.
