Operating Instructions

Using your Waterdrop filter pitcher is straightforward:

• Filling: The pitcher features a hands-free automatic water inlet. Simply place the pitcher under a faucet, and the lid will open automatically for refilling. This design helps prevent dust ingress and contact contamination.
• Filtration: Water will filter through the cartridge into the main pitcher reservoir. The filtration process is designed to be fast, providing purified water quickly.
• Pouring: Pour water as needed. The dust-proof spout helps maintain water purity.
• Smart Life Indicator: The LED indicator on the lid monitors the filter's lifespan.
  • Blue when tapped: Filter is in good condition (more than 10 days remaining).
  • Flash red: Filter needs replacement soon (10 days or less remaining).
  • Solid red: Filter needs immediate replacement (0 days remaining).

Maintenance

Cleaning the Pitcher

Regular cleaning of your pitcher ensures optimal hygiene and performance. Wash the pitcher, lid, and reservoir with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse all parts thoroughly. The wooden handle should be wiped clean and not submerged in water for extended periods to preserve its integrity.

2. Prepare the new filter by soaking it in cold water for 10 minutes.
3. Insert the new filter firmly into the reservoir.
4. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water.
