Install your Filteroo® ULTRAPURE 7" All in 1 Ceramic Gravity Water Filtration Candle
Step 1: Rinsing your cartridge
- Open the ceramic gravity cartridge box and remove the cartridge from the box. (Treat the ceramic gravity cartridge like an egg). Without touching the white ceramic shell of the cartridge, hold the cartridge under a flowing tap or swirl the cartridge around in a container of clean water for 30 seconds to rinse off any ceramic fines from the outside of the cartridge. Once the cartridge is rinsed all over you can insert the cartridge back inside the plastic wrap. (Then as you install the cartridge the plastic wrap can protect the cartridge so as to not touch the cartridge with your bare hands).
Step 2: Install Your Cartridge
Remove the locking nut from your cartridge
- Ensure the sealing washer is over the threaded mount
- Place the filter candle mount stem through the hole in the upper tank section of the housing from the inside out and secure it with a wingnut. Do not over tighten.
- You only need to tighten it enough to ensure you have a seal and no water passes around the threads or washers of the cartridge.
Step 3: Put it all together
- Place the top tank with the cartridge installed inside the top of the filter body. Ensure that the outlet tap is in the off position. Fill the top tank with cold water and allow this water to filter down through the cartridge into the lower bottom holding tank.
- It is recommended that this first supply of filtered water is thrown away, as it may contain material washed from the filter cartridge. Some black carbon fines may be seen in the bottom holding tank when first using, but this is harmless and will stop soon.
- Open the outlet tap and allow the water to run to waste. Fill the top tank again, open the outlet tap and allow this water to run to waste also. We recommend filling the top tank at least 3 times (OR flush at least 8 litres/2.11 gallons depending on the size of your top tank) and flushing that water through the cartridge to waste until it is running clear. For the best flushing results and taste please feel free to flow more tanks of water through the cartridge until tasty. (All flushing water can be used on plants).
Your Filteroo Ultrapure All in 1 Ceramic Cartridge is now ready to use.
Cleaning Your Filter
Due to filtration of particulate contaminants from the water during use, the flow of water from the filter cartridge may reduce. To restore the flow, the filter cartridge can be scrubbed clean.
- Wash and Dry hands before handling the used filter cartridge.
- Remove the cartridge in accordance with the filter cartridge installation instructions by unscrewing the wingnut.
- Take care at all times to not to contaminate the threaded part of the mount or washer with unfiltered water.
- Place Cartridge under a running tap or in a bowl of clean water. Hold the ceramic only under the clean water and evenly scour with the scouring pad provided and rinse the surface.
The candle is now ready for replacement into the filter housing in accordance with the filter installation instructions.
Remember to follow the steps diligently and enjoy the refreshing, filtered water with ease.
