Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
  2. Wash Pitcher Components: Wash the pitcher, lid, and filter housing with mild soap and water. The pitcher and lid are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Prepare the Filter:

  4. Insert the Filter:
    • Align the filter with the opening in the filter housing.
    • Twist the filter clockwise into the housing until it locks securely into place. The LockFit™ design ensures a tight seal to prevent unfiltered water from mixing with filtered water.
  5. Assemble the Pitcher: Place the filter housing with the installed filter into the pitcher. Ensure it sits correctly.
  6. Attach the Lid: Place the lid onto the pitcher, ensuring it fits snugly.
  7. Initial Filtration: Fill the pitcher with tap water. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water to flush out any remaining carbon dust and activate the filter.

Operating Instructions

  1. Filling the Pitcher: Lift the lid's fill flap or remove the entire lid. Fill the upper reservoir with cold tap water. The water will slowly filter through to the main pitcher reservoir.
  2. Pouring Filtered Water: Once the water has filtered, you can pour it directly from the pitcher. The stay-tight lid allows pouring while filtering.
  3. Filter Change Indicator: The pitcher is equipped with a filter change light indicator on the lid.
    • Green Light: Filter is working correctly.
    • Yellow Light: Change filter soon.
    • Red Light: Filter has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced.

Replacing the Filter

Replace the PUR PLUS filter every 2 months or after filtering 40 gallons of water, whichever comes first. The filter change indicator will signal when replacement is needed.

  1. Remove the old filter by twisting it counter-clockwise and pulling it out of the housing.
  2. Prepare the new filter by submerging it in cold water for 15 minutes and rinsing for 10 seconds, as described in the Setup section.
  3. Insert the new filter into the housing and twist clockwise until it locks.
  4. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water from the new filter.
  5. Reset the filter change indicator by pressing and holding the button on the lid until the green light flashes.

Important: Use only Genuine PUR PLUS filters. Generic filters may not provide the same level of filtration and are not certified to reduce the same substances.
