3. Setup and Assembly
The Phoenix Gravity Water Filtration System is designed for straightforward assembly. The package includes the stainless steel housing, two Smart Carbon filters, two POSTreat fluoride filters, and one stainless steel tap.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and ensure all listed components are present.
- Clean Components: Wash the stainless steel upper and lower chambers, lid, and tap with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Prime Filters: It is crucial to prime the Smart Carbon filters before first use. Hold each carbon filter under a running tap for approximately 3 minutes, allowing water to flow through the entire filter. This removes any air pockets and prepares the filter for optimal performance.
- Install Filters: Insert the primed Smart Carbon filters into the holes in the base of the upper chamber. Secure them with the provided wing nuts. If using POSTreat fluoride filters, attach them to the bottom of the Smart Carbon filters.
- Assemble Tap: Install the stainless steel tap into the lower chamber according to the instructions provided with the tap. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
- Connect Chambers: Place the upper chamber onto the lower chamber.
- First Fill: Fill the upper chamber with water. Discard the first two full batches of filtered water to flush out any manufacturing residues and allow the filters to fully activate.

4. Operation
Operating your Phoenix Gravity Water Filtration System is simple and requires no electricity.
Using the System:
- Fill the Upper Chamber: Pour untreated water into the upper stainless steel chamber.
- Gravity Filtration: The water will slowly pass through the Smart Carbon and POSTreat filters (if installed) into the lower chamber due to gravity. This process can take some time, with a maximum flow rate of 8 liters per hour.
- Dispense Water: Once the water has collected in the lower chamber, use the stainless steel tap to dispense purified water as needed.
- Refill as Needed: Continue to refill the upper chamber as water is consumed from the lower chamber.
For optimal performance, ensure the system is placed on a stable, level surface. The system is designed to be portable, making it suitable for various environments.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your Phoenix Gravity Water Filtration System.
Filter Replacement:
- Smart Carbon Filters: These filters have a lifespan of up to 20,000 liters or approximately 12 months per pair, whichever comes first. Replace them when the flow rate significantly decreases or after the recommended period.
- POSTreat Fluoride Filters: These filters are designed to be rechargeable. The FluoRidMedia inside each POSTreat filter should be recharged or replaced approximately every 1060 gallons (4 months), depending on water usage and fluoride levels.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Unit:
- Periodically clean the stainless steel upper and lower chambers with warm, soapy water.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the stainless steel finish.
- For stubborn stains, a stainless steel cleaner can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Phoenix Gravity Water Filtration System, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow Filtration Rate | Filters are not properly primed or are clogged. | Ensure filters were primed correctly during setup. If already in use, remove filters and re-prime them. If flow remains slow, filters may need replacement. |
| Water Has an Unusual Taste/Odor | New filters need flushing, or filters have reached end of life. | Ensure the first two batches of filtered water were discarded. If taste/odor persists or reappears, replace the Smart Carbon filters. |
| Leaking from Tap or Seams | Tap or chamber connections are not sealed properly. | Check that the tap is securely tightened. Ensure the upper and lower chambers are correctly aligned and seated. Inspect rubber gaskets for damage and replace if necessary. |
