4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Placement

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Place the unit on a flat, stable, and dry surface. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit, especially for accessing the rear water tank.

Figure 4.1: Product Dimensions. The unit measures approximately 18.31 inches (L) x 7.32 inches (W) x 16.26 inches (H).

4.2 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the raw water tank and the filtered water carafe with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

4.3 Filling the Raw Water Tank

1. Remove the plastic lid from the back of the unit.
2. Grasp the internal handle of the raw water tank. Pull horizontally backward approximately two to three inches to release it, then lift straight up to remove.
3. Empty any residual water from the tank if present.
4. Fill the tank with potable tap water up to the indicated maximum fill line.
5. Carefully reinsert the tank into the unit. Ensure it aligns correctly and push it forward horizontally until it clicks into place. Replace the plastic lid.

4.4 First Use and Flushing

After filling the tank and plugging in the unit, the system will automatically begin filtering. For optimal taste and to remove any manufacturing residues, it is recommended to flush the system by dispensing and discarding at least 6-8 full tanks of water before consuming. This process ensures the filters are fully saturated and the water quality is at its best.

5. Filtration System Overview

The Stokk T1 employs a 6-stage filtration process combined with UV light purification to deliver clean and safe drinking water.

Figure 5.1: 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis & Ultraviolet Technology. The filtration stages include Pre-activated Carbon (PPC), 0.0001µm RO Membrane, Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon (C), UV Light, and a Remineralization & Alkaline Filter.

5.1 Filtration Stages

• PPC Filter (Pre-activated Carbon): Removes larger particles, sediment, rust, and chlorine.
• RO Membrane (Reverse Osmosis): Filters out dissolved solids, heavy metals, PFAS, fluoride, and other contaminants down to 0.0001 microns.
• C Filter (Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon): Further absorbs odors and residual chlorine, enhancing water taste and clarity.
• UV Light: Provides an additional layer of purification by sterilizing bacteria and viruses.
• Alkaline Boost Carafe: The included carafe contains a remineralization filter that raises the pH value of the RO water and adds essential minerals.

Figure 5.2: Mineral Enhanced Carafe. The carafe infuses essential minerals into the filtered water.

5.2 Contaminant Removal

The Stokk T1 system is designed to efficiently remove a wide range of contaminants.

Figure 5.3: Contaminant Removal Efficiency. The Stokk T1 6-stage RO system removes over 99% of various contaminants, including heavy metals, PFAS, and fluoride.

5.3 Certifications

The Stokk T1 is tested and certified to meet various standards for water filtration.

6. Operation

6.1 Powering On/Off

Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. The unit will power on automatically. To turn off, unplug the unit.

6.2 Dispensing Water

Use the control panel buttons to select the desired water volume or continuous dispensing.

• Volume Options: Select from preset volumes such as 8, 16, 24, 30, 40 oz, Half Pot, or Full Pot.
• Free Dispensing: Press the 'Faucet' button for continuous flow, press again to stop.

Figure 6.1: Water Volume Options. The control panel offers multiple preset dispensing volumes and a continuous flow option.

6.3 Understanding the TDS Display

The control panel displays the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of the purified water in parts per million (PPM). A lower TDS reading indicates higher water purity.

Figure 6.2: TDS Detection. The display provides real-time monitoring of purified water quality.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Filter Replacement

The control panel features a real-time filter lifespan detection system that reminds you when to replace filters. Timely replacement ensures optimal performance and water quality.

Figure 7.1: Internal Filter View. The PPC, RO, and C filters are easily accessible for replacement.

• PPC Filter: Replace as indicated by the filter life reminder on the display.
