5. Operating Instructions

Your Waterdrop X16-Alkaline system is designed for user-friendly operation.

5.1 Initial Flush

After installation, it is crucial to flush the system to remove any carbon fines and air from the new filters. Run water through the faucet for at least 30 minutes or until the water runs clear and free of air bubbles. Discard this initial water.

5.2 Using the Smart Digital Faucet

The smart digital faucet provides real-time information and control:

• Adjustable Volume: Use the control knob on the faucet to select the desired water volume. The system will automatically dispense the set amount and stop.
• TDS & Filter Life Monitor: The digital display shows the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of the purified water and indicates the remaining life of your filters. This helps you monitor water quality and know when to replace filters.
• Auto-sensing LED Function: The integrated LED light provides visual confirmation of water safety.

5.3 Water Dispensing and Quality

• High Flow Rate: With a 1600 GPD (Gallons Per Day) capacity, the system delivers water rapidly, filling a 6oz cup in approximately 2 seconds.
• Alkaline Mineral Boost: The system utilizes PCC mineralization technology to add beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium, adjusting the pH to an ideal 7.5± for a smooth taste and health benefits.
• 11-Stage Filtration: The reinforced 0.0001µm RO membrane and multi-stage filtration effectively reduce TDS, PFOA, PFOS, Chlorine, Fluoride, Arsenic, Lead, and other harmful substances.
