Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
- Wash: Wash the pitcher (excluding the lid) with warm, soapy water. The pitcher body is dishwasher safe. Rinse thoroughly.
- Prepare Filter: Remove the B15 filter from its packaging. Submerge the filter in cold water for 15 minutes to remove any air bubbles.
- Insert Filter: Firmly insert the prepared filter into the designated slot in the pitcher's funnel. Ensure it is seated correctly to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing the filter.
- Set Filter Life Counter: The lid features a battery-free filter life counter. Rotate the dial to the current month to track when the filter needs replacement.
- Initial Fill: Fill the pitcher with tap water through the pour-through lid. Discard the first two full pitchers of filtered water to prime the filter.
Operating Instructions
Using your AQUAPHOR Water Filter Pitcher is straightforward:
- Filling: Lift the pour-through lid and fill the upper reservoir with cold tap water. The water will slowly filter through the B15 cartridge into the main pitcher body.
- Waiting for Filtration: Allow all water to pass through the filter before dispensing. If you attempt to pour water before it has fully filtered, unfiltered water may leak out the side of the lid.
- Dispensing: Once filtered, pour the clean water from the pitcher as needed.
- Storage: Store the pitcher in your refrigerator for chilled, filtered water. Its slim design allows it to fit conveniently in most fridge doors.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your pitcher:
- Cleaning: The pitcher body (excluding the lid) is dishwasher safe. For the lid, hand wash with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Filter Replacement: The B15 filter cartridge has a life of up to 45 gallons. Replace the filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations or when the filter life indicator on the lid suggests it. To replace, simply remove the old filter and insert a new one after preparing it as described in the Setup section.
- Manufacturing Date: Please note that the date printed on the product packaging is the date of manufacture, not the expiry date.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AQUAPHOR Water Filter Pitcher, consider the following:
- Water Leaks from Lid During Pouring: This typically occurs if water is poured before it has fully filtered through the cartridge. Ensure all water in the upper reservoir has passed through the filter before tilting the pitcher to pour.
- Slow Filtration: If filtration becomes unusually slow, the filter may be nearing the end of its life or may be clogged. Try replacing the filter.
- Unusual Taste/Odor: If the filtered water has an unusual taste or odor, the filter may need to be replaced. Ensure the filter was properly primed before first use.
- Filter Not Seating Properly: Ensure the filter is firmly pushed into its slot in the funnel. If it's not secure, unfiltered water can bypass it.
