5. Maintenance

1. Filter Replacement: Change your filter when the TDS meter reading is 006 or higher. To replace, remove the top lid and the old filter by twisting it counter-clockwise. Insert a new filter and twist clockwise until secure.
2. Cleaning the Dispenser: Regularly clean the dispenser reservoir and lid with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly to prevent residue buildup. The filter itself should not be cleaned with soap.

6. Troubleshooting

• Slow Filtration: If water filters slowly, the filter may be nearing the end of its life or may have air trapped. Try gently shaking the filter or replacing it if the TDS reading is high.
• High TDS Reading (006 or higher): This indicates the filter is exhausted and needs to be replaced to ensure optimal water purification.
• Leaks: Ensure all components, especially the filter and spigot, are securely tightened and properly seated. Check for any cracks in the plastic.
