Setup Instructions

1. Clean Components: Wash all stainless steel components and the spigot with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Prepare Filters:
   • Remove filters from packaging.
   • Prime the filters by holding them under running water or by using the provided yellow sealing gasket to create a seal and force water through the filter until water flows freely from the entire surface. This removes manufacturing dust and prepares the filter for optimal flow.
3. Install Spigot:
   • Insert the spigot through the hole in the lower chamber.
   • Place one faucet gasket on the outside and one on the inside of the chamber, then secure with the faucet sealing ring and tighten the nut using the open-end wrench. Ensure it is snug but do not overtighten.
4. Install Filters:
   • Insert the threaded stem of each filter into the holes in the bottom of the upper chamber.
   • Secure each filter with a wing nut from underneath, ensuring the rubber washer is in place for a tight seal.
   • If using only one filter, use a plug to seal the unused hole in the upper chamber.
5. Assemble Chambers: Place the upper chamber onto the lower chamber. Ensure it sits securely.
6. Place Lid: Place the lid on top of the upper chamber.
7. Initial Fill: Fill the upper chamber with water. Discard the first few batches of filtered water (approximately 1-2 gallons) to flush out any remaining manufacturing residues from the filters.

Operating Instructions

Using your VEVOR Gravity-fed Water Filter System is straightforward:

1. Fill Upper Chamber: Pour untreated water into the upper chamber. The water will slowly pass through the activated carbon filters into the lower chamber.
2. Filtration Process: Allow sufficient time for the water to filter. The filtration rate depends on the water quality and filter condition.
3. Dispense Water: Once filtered, open the spigot on the lower chamber to dispense clean drinking water.
4. Refill: Refill the upper chamber as needed.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your filter system:

• Cleaning the Chambers: Periodically clean the stainless steel chambers with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
• Filter Cleaning/Brushing: If the filtration rate slows down significantly, the filters may need cleaning. Remove the filters from the upper chamber and gently scrub the outer surface of the filters with a soft brush or scouring pad under running water. Do not use soap. This removes accumulated particles from the filter pores.
• Filter Replacement: Each pair of activated carbon filters can filter up to 6,000 gallons of water. Filter lifespan depends on water quality and usage. Replace filters when the flow rate becomes consistently slow even after cleaning, or if water taste deteriorates. Replacement filters are available from VEVOR.
