Before setup: filter cartridge and water hardness
the length of time the cartridge is effective for depends on the hardness
of the water. this can be tested using the testing strips provided (strips are
stuck to the reverse side of these instructions for use)
1. dip the testing strips into the water for a second
2. after around one minute, the results can be seen on the testing strips.
some of the green boxes change colour into pink. the water hardness is
shown by how many boxes turn pink.
example: If three boxes are green, then the water hardness is at level «3»

with a water hardness upwards of 21 °dh, we can no longer recommend the
use of a ultrasonic air humidifier. we recommend that you use an impeller
humidifier to increase humidity in your house (e.g. Oskar humidifier made by
stadler Form).
the unit only works properly with untreated water. do not use where there
are water softeners and water ionisers in operation. however, the anton
may be operated from a drinking water filter system (e.g. Brita). should you
be unsure about the quality or composition of the water in your area, contact
the caretaker or the provider of drinking water.
