When installing a new filter candle it is important to condition the filter with the incoming water using the following
procedure:

• Place the sealing washer over the threaded mount
• Place the filter candle mount stem through the hole in the upper section of the housing and secure with a wing
nut. Do not over tighten
• Ensure that the outlet tap is in the off position
• Fill the upper container with cold water and allow this to filter through. Our filter is made of a special ceramic and
contains carbon granules; this means black particles may be visible when water filters through for the first time.
Discard the first filtered water.
• Repeat the process and run at least 1 litre of water to waste per fitted filter, and continue running until the water is
clear. Wipe the lower chamber with a clean cloth to remove any dust particles - the filter is now ready for use

This is normal and will clear as the water runs
• If the filter is left to stand for more than 3 days without use, it is recommended that one litre of water be allowed
to run to waste before using
Operation
Due to filtration of particulate contaminants from the water during use, the flow of water from the filter may reduce
over a period of time. To restore the water flow to its normal level, remove the filter and scrub the surface evenly with
a clean abrasive kitchen pad under running water or in a bowl, ensuring that the open ended plastic mount is clear
of the water, to avoid contamination
