WATER FILTRATION PROCESS

The heart of a water filtration device is its filters.
If filters are not authorized or if authorized filters are used past their life expectancy, their performance may decrease.

AQUAMEGA 100 water filtration system

A-1: SEDIMENT FILTER
This sediment filter has the functions to remove infusible particles from feed water and to protect pre-carbon filter.
A-2: PRECARBON FILTER
This pre-carbon filter has the functions to remove chlorine and to absorb harmful organic chemicals from feed water.
A-3: POSTCARBON FILTER
This post-carbon filter has the functions to remove smell induction material and to improve taste of water.

* Temporary tiny bubbles (air bubbles) may be generated due to water pressure when dispensing from a direct water device.
These air bubbles disappear naturally and do not affect water quality in any way.

* When you boil filtered water from the device, there may be white precipitation.
This is not contamination, but rather precipitating minerals within the water.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Be sure to read before use!

• Open the connection valve.
  Feed water must be supplied for the device to work properly.
• Regular filter replacement
  Regular filter replacement is very important to drink clean water. If you are using filters past the end of their lifespans, the filtration device may not work as well. Be sure to replace filters according to their cycle.
• After installation
  Continuously dispense water for 10 minutes before using the product for the first time. (Water may appear murky as bubbles are initially dispensed with water through the filter.)
• Installation parts
  1 faucet mounted diverter, 3 faucet adapter, 1 T-valve (9/16"), 1 Drain hose, 1 6.5ft Tubing, 1 L-fitting

About the filter replacement cycle

Each filter's recommended replacement cycle varies depending on water supply quality.
For reference, the effective water capacity means the minimum treatment capacity for which contaminants can be effectively removed without cleaning, recycling, or replacing the inner filters, and recommended replacement cycles for individual filters may differ.
If the area with poor water quality or more applications, the changing cycle is shortened.

Filter replacement method

Replace the filter!

1. Remove the side cover and inner filter cover and make sure to close the water supply before removing the filters by turning the lever clockwise, otherwise it may cause severe leakage.
   

Tips
Do not push too hard. There is a risk of damage.
Lock the water supply, then turn the faucet on for about 3 seconds and then off.

2. Remove the filter you want to replace horizontally, then replace it.
   

Tips
After replacing the filter, check that the inner filter cover is completely closed and drain the first filtered water.

3. Close the inner filter cover and side cover.
   

Tips
Continuously dispense water for 10 minutes before using the product after replacing filters.
(Water may appear murky as bubbles are initially dispensed with water through the filter.)
