5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Slow Filtration Rate

• Cause: Air bubbles trapped in the filter or a clogged filter.
• Solution: Remove the filter and re-soak it in water to release air bubbles. If the filter is old, replace it with a new one.

5.2 Unpleasant Water Taste

• Cause: Filter not properly primed or expired filter.
• Solution: Ensure the filter was properly primed by discarding the first two batches of filtered water. If the filter is past its recommended lifespan, replace it.

5.3 Electronic Timer Not Working

• Cause: Battery issue or timer malfunction.
• Solution: Ensure the timer is correctly seated in the lid. If the issue persists, contact customer support. Note that the timer is battery-powered, but the battery is typically non-replaceable by the user.
