3. RO (Reverse Osmosis) Membrane: Removes bacteria, chemicals (PFAS/PFOA/PFOS), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, aluminum, fluoride), and over 1,000 possible contaminants.
4. PCF (Post Carbon Filter): Improves water taste.
5. Mineral Filter: Restores beneficial minerals like Mg, Ca, Na, K, Zn, Sr.

5. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The unit will power on.
6. Initial Flushing (Important): Before first use, the system requires flushing to remove air and carbon fines.
   • Place a large container under the spout.
   • Press the dispense button or initiate a flush cycle until the tank is empty.
   • Refill the water tank and repeat the flushing process at least two more times (total of three full tank flushes). This ensures optimal filter performance and water quality.
   • During this process, the TDS display may not be active until flushing is complete.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Dispensing Water

1. Ensure the water tank is filled.
2. Place a glass or container on the drip tray under the spout.
3. Select the desired water volume (e.g., 8oz, 16oz, 30oz, 40oz) using the control panel buttons.

4. Press the dispense button (often indicated by a water drop icon) to start dispensing. The unit will automatically stop when the selected volume is reached.
5. The 180° swivel spout allows for flexible positioning, accommodating various container sizes and counter layouts.

5.2. Real-Time TDS Display

The integrated display shows the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels of both raw tap water and purified water in real-time. This allows you to monitor the effectiveness of the filtration system.

• A lower TDS reading for purified water indicates effective contaminant removal.
• The display also shows filter lifespan indicators, prompting you when a filter change is needed.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Filter Replacement

Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining water quality and system performance. The unit's display will indicate when filters need to be replaced.

• PPC Filter Lifespan: Approximately 12 months.
