1. Introduction
The ALTHY Mineral Alkaline Water Filter is designed to enhance your drinking water by providing a 7-stage filtration and mineralization system. This system not only purifies water by removing contaminants but also increases its pH and adds beneficial minerals, contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
Key benefits include:
- Increases pH to 7.5-9.5 and reduces ORP to -100 to -200mv, ionizing drinking water.
- Remineralization adds healthy minerals such as Zinc (Zn), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), and Selenium (Se).
- Purifies water by removing fluoride, chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, copper, aluminum).
- Improves taste and removes odor and color from tap water.
The 7 stages of filtration and mineralization are:
- Non-woven Fabric Pad: Acts as a pre-filter for sediments.
- NSF Certified Coconut Activated Carbon: Improves taste and odor, filters chlorine, organic chemicals, and heavy metals.
- NSF Certified Ion-exchange Resin: Filters dissolved contaminants and other metals, removes scale, and softens water.
- Tourmaliness Ceramic Balls: Raises pH, generates negative ions, and adds trace minerals to the water.
- Natural Mineral Stones: Increases the biological activity of water, supplying trace elements and minerals like Zn, Ca, Fe, Se.
- Energy Ceramic Balls: Releases far infra-red rays to energize and reduce water molecule clusters for better absorption.
- Negative Potential Balls: Reduces ORP, creates anti-oxidant water, and adds trace amounts of hydrogen to the water.
2. Important Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety information before using the filter.

5. Setup Instructions
Activating the Filter Cartridge (Before First Use):
- Soak the new filter cartridge in clean water for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the filter cartridge thoroughly under running water.
Filling the ALTHY Alkaline Water Pitcher:
- Place the easy-fill lid of your ALTHY pitcher under the faucet.
- Pull back the button on the lid; the water inlet window will open automatically.
- Position the water stream over the water inlet window and allow water to fill the reservoir.
- When the reservoir is full, push the button forward to close the water inlet window.
6. Operation
Using the Filter Life Indicator:
The Use Indicator tracks the life of your filter. To use it:
- Center the Use Indicator between the RESET wedge and the light blue wedge.
- Each colored wedge indicates 28 fills/clicks (approximately 46 liters).
- The RESET wedge indicates 20 fills (approximately 33 liters) before your filter should be replaced.
Each filter yields approximately 400 liters of healthy, energized water.
7. Maintenance
Replacing a Filter:
- Remove the filter with the reservoir from the pitcher.
- Hold the filter on the top with one hand and push from the bottom of the reservoir with the other hand to detach it.
- Recycle your old filter: Crack open the plastic housing, take out the filter contents, and deposit them into a compost.
- Recycle the plastic housing in your plastic recycling bin.
- Replace with a new filter cartridge (ensure it has been activated as per setup instructions).
Cleaning and Storage:
- Clean the pitcher and filter regularly with water to prevent filter clogging.
- If the filter cartridge will not be used for an extended period, ensure it is completely dried. Pack it in a fresh-keeping bag and store it in the refrigerator.
8. Troubleshooting
- Water not filtering or slow filtration: Ensure the filter is correctly seated and not clogged. Clean the filter and pitcher regularly. If the filter is old, replace it.
- Water taste or odor not improving: Ensure the filter was properly activated before first use. If the filter is nearing the end of its life (300-400L or 2-3 months), its effectiveness may decrease. Replace the filter.
- pH value not increasing: The ability of the filter cartridge to improve pH value will gradually decrease after initial use. If the pH is no longer satisfactory, it's time to replace the filter.
- Spillage when filling: Do not overfill the pitcher. Ensure the water inlet window is properly closed after filling.
9. User Tips
- Always activate new filters by soaking and rinsing them before first use to ensure optimal performance.
- Regularly check the filter life indicator and replace the filter every 2-3 months or after 300-400 liters of water, whichever comes first, to maintain water quality.
- The filtered water is suitable for direct drinking and is reported by users to be purified and healthy.
- Ensure the pitcher and filter are kept clean to prevent any issues with water flow or taste.
