2. Setup and First Use

Follow these steps for the initial setup of your BWT filter cartridge:

1. Unpack the Cartridge: Remove the new filter cartridge from its protective packaging.
2. Prepare the Filter: Submerge the new filter cartridge completely in cold tap water for approximately 5 minutes. Gently shake it to remove any air bubbles. This step ensures optimal performance.
3. Insert into Pitcher: Place the prepared filter cartridge firmly into the funnel of your compatible BWT water filter pitcher. Ensure it is seated correctly to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing the filter.
4. Initial Filtration: Fill the pitcher with tap water. Discard the first two filtered fillings. This flushes out any loose filter material and prepares the cartridge for regular use.
5. Reset Filter Change Indicator: If your pitcher has a manual or electronic filter change indicator, reset it according to your pitcher's instructions.

3. Operating Instructions

Using your BWT filter pitcher with the Magnesium Mineralized Water cartridge is simple:

• Fill the Pitcher: Open the lid of your BWT water filter pitcher and fill the funnel with cold tap water. The water will slowly pass through the filter cartridge.
• Wait for Filtration: Allow the water to completely filter through the cartridge into the main reservoir of the pitcher. The filtration process enriches the water with magnesium and reduces substances like chlorine and limescale.
• Enjoy: Once filtered, your water is ready to drink. It is ideal for direct consumption, preparing hot and cold beverages, and cooking.
• Storage: Store the filtered water in a cool, dark place, preferably in the refrigerator, and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your pitcher and the effectiveness of your filter cartridges:

• Filter Replacement: For optimal performance and hygiene, replace the filter cartridge approximately every 4 weeks or after filtering 120 liters of water, whichever comes first. Regular replacement ensures consistent water quality and taste.
• Cleaning the Pitcher: Wash your BWT water filter pitcher regularly with mild detergent and warm water. All parts of the pitcher, except for the lid with the electronic indicator (if applicable), are typically dishwasher safe. Refer to your pitcher's specific instructions for cleaning.
• Storage of New Cartridges: Store unused filter cartridges in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BWT filter cartridges, consider the following common solutions:

• Slow Filtration:
  • Ensure the filter cartridge is correctly seated in the funnel.
  • The filter might be nearing the end of its life or is clogged. Replace the filter if it's been 4 weeks or 120 liters since the last change.
  • If it's a new filter, ensure it was properly pre-soaked and shaken to remove air bubbles.
• Unusual Taste or Odor:
  • Ensure the filter cartridge is not expired and has been replaced within the recommended timeframe.
  • Make sure the pitcher is clean and free from residues.
  • The first two fillings of a new filter should always be discarded.
• Filter Not Fitting:
  • Ensure you have the correct BWT filter cartridge model for your pitcher.
  • Check for any obstructions in the pitcher's funnel.
