4. Filtration System

The Thereye Countertop Water Filter utilizes an advanced 7-stage Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration system to effectively remove most tap water pollutants, ensuring safe and pure drinking water.

7 Stages of Purification:

1. PP Cotton: Filters out larger particles like sediment, rust, and sand.
2. Activated Carbon Composite: Removes chlorine, odors, and organic chemicals.
3. 5 Micron Polypropylene: Further filters finer particles.
4. Long Acting Scale Inhibitor: Reduces scale buildup to protect the RO membrane.
5. 0.0001 Micron RO Membrane: The core of the system, effectively removing dissolved solids, heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses.
6. 5 Micron Post Carbon: Polishes the water for improved taste and odor.
7. Polypropylene: Provides final filtration before dispensing.

The system uses 3 replaceable filters (RO, CF, and PAC) that combine these 7 stages. The recycled wastewater can be used for other household purposes, such as watering plants, to minimize waste.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your water filter system.

Cleaning the Water Tank:

• It is recommended to clean the raw water tank regularly, especially if the "Change Water" indicator illuminates frequently or if the water has been stagnant for an extended period (e.g., overnight).
• Remove the water tank from the back of the unit.
• Discard any remaining water in the tank.
• Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and soft brush, then rinse completely to remove all soap residue.
• Refill the tank with fresh tap water and place it back into the unit.

Filter Replacement:

• The LED display will indicate when each filter needs to be replaced. Pay attention to the "Filter Lifespan" indicators.
• To replace a filter, gently twist the old filter counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it.
• Insert the new filter into the corresponding slot and twist clockwise to lock it into place. Ensure a secure fit.
• After replacing a filter, it is recommended to flush the system once or twice by dispensing water to ensure proper function and remove any air bubbles.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Thereye water filter system, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Water Dispensing:
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged in.
  • Ensure the raw water tank is filled and correctly seated.
  • Verify that the "Change Water" indicator is not illuminated. If it is, refill or change the water.

• Water Taste/Odor Issues:
  • Perform the initial flushing process (Section 2) multiple times.
  • Ensure all filters are new and correctly installed. Replace any expired filters.
  • Clean the raw water tank thoroughly.
• LED Display Not Working:
  • Check the power connection.
  • The unit automatically enters screen-dim mode to save power when not in use. Press any button to reactivate.
