Kohler Novita Bidet Ionic Water Filter Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Kohler Novita Bidet Ionic Water Filter is designed to enhance the water quality supplied to your bidet seat. This filter softens water by introducing negative ions, which aids in cleaning efficiency. It also captures larger particulate matter and acts as a screening filter, preventing impurities from entering your bidet seat's water lines. Utilizing this filter can help reduce water hardness and prolong the operational life of your bidet seat's internal components.

2. Setup and Installation

This filter is a universal component, compatible with any bidet seat that uses a 1/2 inch water supply line. It features 1/2 inch male and female fittings on each end for straightforward inline installation.

1. Pre-Installation Flush: Before connecting the filter, discharge water through your bidet's water supply line for approximately two (2) minutes. This helps clear any initial debris from the line.
2. Connection: Identify the water supply line leading to your bidet seat. Disconnect the bidet hose from the water source.
3. Attach Filter: Connect one end of the filter to the bidet hose and the other end to the water source. Ensure the connections are secure. A wrench may be helpful to tighten the fittings, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.
4. Leak Check: Slowly turn on the water supply and check for any leaks at the connection points. Tighten further if necessary.

Note: This filter is designed for use with warm water bidet products.

Once installed, the Kohler Novita Bidet Ionic Water Filter operates passively as water flows through it. It continuously processes the incoming water, removing foreign substances and reducing hardness, thereby supplying clean and healthy water to your bidet seat.

4. Maintenance

Regular replacement of the filter is crucial for optimal performance and to maintain water quality.

• Service Life: The expected service life of this filter is approximately 4 to 6 months. However, this duration may vary depending on the frequency of product use and the quality of your local water supply.
• Replacement: The filter must be replaced with a new one after 4 to 6 months of use. Failure to replace the filter within this timeframe may result in reduced water flow or diminished filtration effectiveness.

5. Troubleshooting

• Reduced Water Flow: If you experience a decrease in water pressure or flow from your bidet, it may indicate that the filter is clogged or has reached the end of its service life. Replace the filter as per the maintenance guidelines.
• Leaks at Connections: If water leaks from the filter connections, ensure that the fittings are securely tightened. If leaks persist, check the integrity of the O-rings or gaskets within the connections and ensure they are properly seated.
