Operating Instructions

Filling the Pitcher

1. Open Lid: Slide open the easy-slide lid on top of the pitcher.
2. Pour Water: Pour tap water into the top reservoir. The water will slowly filter through the 5-stage filter into the main pitcher body.
3. Wait for Filtration: Allow the water to fully filter before pouring. The Ready-Pour® design allows dispensing while filtering.

Dispensing Water

• Pouring: Use the ergonomic handle for an easy and convenient pour. The smooth spout is designed for no-drip pouring.
• Refrigerator Dispensing (for dispenser models): If using a dispenser model, pull the spigot lever to dispense water directly into your glass or bottle.

Using the TDS Meter

The built-in TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter measures the level of dissolved solids in your water. A reading of "0" indicates that the filter is removing virtually all TDS from your water, providing optimal purity.

• Check Reading: The digital display on the TDS meter will show the PPM (parts per million) of dissolved solids.
• Filter Replacement Indicator: The meter alerts you when it's time to change your filter. When the reading is no longer 0, or reaches a higher number (e.g., 006), it's time to replace the filter.

Maintenance

Filter Replacement

Replace your filter when the TDS meter indicates a reading above 0, or when the water flow significantly slows down. Filter life varies based on water quality and usage.

1. Remove Old Filter: Lift the reservoir out of the pitcher and carefully remove the old filter by twisting and pulling it out.
2. Insert New Filter: Align the new Culligan with ZeroWater Technology filter with the opening in the reservoir and push it firmly into place until it clicks.
3. Prime New Filter: After installing a new filter, fill the top reservoir and discard the first two full pitchers of filtered water to ensure optimal performance.

Note: This pitcher is compatible only with new Culligan with ZeroWater Technology filters. It is NOT compatible with legacy ZeroWater filters.
