2.1 Triple Filtration System
The filters utilize a multi-stage filtration process to ensure optimal water purity:
- Non-woven Fabric Layer: Catches hair and larger debris.
- Activated Carbon: Removes odors, bad tastes, and chlorine from the water.
- Ion-Exchange Resin: Further purifies water by removing heavy metals and softening water.
- Pre-filter Sponge: Blocks off hair, dust, and food debris before water enters the pump, extending the life of the main filter.

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Pre-use Preparation
- Soak the Filter: Before first use, soak the activated carbon filter in clean water for 5 minutes.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the activated carbon filter under running tap water for at least 30 seconds to remove any loose carbon particles. This prevents carbon dust from entering the fountain water.
