PROPER INSTALLATION
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions
before installing and using your water filtration system.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BEFORE USE.
Our ZeroWater®Filter Jug fits most standard water coolers
AFTER the splash guard is removed! If the splash guard is
not removed, the float valve on the ZeroWater®Filter Jug
will not work and will cause your water to overflow!
DIRECTIONS FOR REMOVING THE SPLASH GUARD
Depending on which base you have, the splash guard may
either be a ring or assembly unit. Please see images below
on two types of splash guards which need to be removed
prior to installation.
If you have questions about this process with your particular
model, you may need to refer to your cooler’s user manual.
IMPORTANT!
Should you experience any difficulties with
water filters, before returning the product to
the store, please call Customer Service toll free
at 1-800-503-2939 (Mon-Fri 8am-8pm CT). Most
issues can be resolved with a short phone call
to our trained US-based professionals.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without proper
disinfection before or after the system. Individuals
requiring water of specific microbiological purity
should consult their physician. Unless notified
otherwise, municipal water is potable. The
contaminants or other substances removed or
reduced by this water treatment device are not
necessarily in your water.

ZEROWATER®FILTER WATER JUG COMPONENTS ZEROWATER USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING CARTRIDGE AND FIRST USE
Clean all plastic components and filter cartridges by washing
and rinsing thoroughly with warm water only. These products
are not dishwasher safe. Discard all plastic bags, as this may be
a suffocation hazard to young children.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
2. Place the lower chamber on top of
your cooler with the float valve fitting
inside the cooler’s reservoir. Ensure the
lower chamber is level on the cooler base.

1. Thread the float valve tightly
through the bottom of the lower
chamber. Do not prop the Filter Bottle
on the float valve once assembled, as
it is fragile and will break.
3. Place the lower chamber divider
rim firmly on the top. The rippled part
of the white rim should overlap the
lower chamber. If assembled upside
down, there will be leakage. Be sure its
seated properly on the lower chamber.

5. Install the filter adapter to the
upper chamber by threading it
clockwise until you feel a tight
and secure fit.
4. One plastic o-ring is included with
your device. Place the o-ring around
the outside of the top of the filter
adapter. The top filter adapter is the
one which threads into the top
reservoir of the device.
6. Remove filter cartridges from
packaging. Tightly thread the cartridges
into the holes on the bottom side of the
filter adapter to obtain a complete seal
with the blue O-ring.
7. Place the upper chamber (with
attached filter cartridges) on top of
the lower chamber. Be sure that the
lower chamber divider ring is tightly
affixed around the lower chamber.
8. Place the lid on top
of the upper chamber.
FILLING THE JUG WITH TAP WATER
1. Remove lid.
2. Slowly fill the upper reservoir with cold tap water.
Be careful not to dump water too quickly into the upper
chamber when the lower chamber is empty as it may tip
and spill.
3. Allow water to pass from the upper chamber through the
filters into the lower chamber. Water will be ready to drink in
several minutes.
4. Test the water using the TDS meter to confirm a “000”
reading. If the meter doesn’t read “000”, empty all the water
from the unit, check all connections and seal, then repeat
steps 2 and 3.
5. Do not over fill. The first time you fill your Filter Jug it
will take extra water to fill the cooler reservoir. When water
in the lower chamber reaches the line marked “MAXIMUM
WATER LEVEL”, do not put any more water in the upper
chamber, as it may leak. The upper chamber is not
designed to be a storage reservoir.

PREMIUM 5-STAGE FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY
ZeroWater removes 99.6% of total dissolved
solids based on EPA certified lab tests.
STAGE 1
Removes suspended
solids such as dust and
rust that make your
water appear cloudy.
STAGE 2
Distributor for even flow.
STAGE 3
Removes organic
contaminants and stops
bacteria from growing.
STAGE 4
Removes inorganic
compounds.
STAGE 5
Removes remaining
suspended solids.
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
Filter life varies per household. The filter life depends
on the amount of TDS in your water and household water
consumption. Please refer to the chart (under question how
long will my filter last) on the FAQ page to determine how
many gallons you will get per filter.
https://www.zerowater.com/faq-filtration-filter-life.php
It is important that you periodically test your filtered
water with your TDS meter and when the meter reads
006 or higher the filter should be replaced.
REPLACEMENT FILTER CARTRIDGES
Replacement filter cartridges can be purchased in packs of 2,
4, 8, 12 and 16pk from ZeroWater.com. For replacement parts
and pricing, call Customer Service toll free 1-800-503-2939.

WATER QUALITY METER
The meter is primarily used to indicate ZeroWater® filter
replacement at 006. It may also be used as a simple method
to compare water quality by displaying the Total of the
Dissolved Solids (TDS) in parts per million only. The meter
should not be used to assess the safety or purity of water,
which should only be undertaken by a qualified laboratory.
For a more scientific explanation, it is showing you the
total number of detectable dissolved solids in water. With
the push of a button, the electrodes in the bottom of the
tester measure the amount of ions in the water and convert
that amount to a number that displays on the screen. The
number represents the amounts of detectable dissolved
solids in parts per million that exist in your water sample.
METER INSTRUCTIONS
FOR WATER QUALITY METER:
Remove cap, turn on, submerge
in water, change filter when it
reads 006 or higher.
REPLACEMENT BATTERY
INSTRUCTIONS: Meter includes
(2) LR44 alkaline batteries. Slide off
the battery compartment section.
Align positive ends of the new
replacement batteries pointed to
the left. Do not mix old and new
batteries. Do not milk alkaline,
standard or rechargeable batteries.
The TDS meter supplied is intended to detect and measure TDS (total
dissolved solids) in PPM. Test your water regularly.
