3. Setup Guide

Follow these steps for initial setup before first use.

3.1 Unpacking and Initial Cleaning:

1. Remove the water tank, pitchers, and lids from the main unit.
2. Rinse all removable parts (water tank, pitchers, lids) with clean water.
3. Dry the rinsed parts thoroughly with a clean cloth.
4. Place the water tank and pitchers back into their designated positions on the main unit, ensuring they are pressed down firmly.

3.2 First Use and Flushing:

For initial use, the system requires flushing to prepare the filter and ensure optimal water quality. This process involves filtering approximately 4 tanks of tap water.

1. Fill the raw water tank with tap water up to the MAX line.
2. Plug in the unit. The system will automatically begin filtering water into the pure water pitcher.
3. Wait for the system to automatically refill the pitcher. The appearance of white bubbles while expelling air from the filter cartridge is normal.
4. Once the pitcher is full, pour out the purified water. This water should be discarded.
5. When the 'Empty & Refill' indicator flashes, remove the raw water tank and pour out the wastewater. Note: The wastewater must be discarded; otherwise, it may affect the service life of the filter cartridge.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 three more times, for a total of four full tanks of tap water flushed through the system.
7. After cleaning four tanks, the water is ready for drinking.

4. Operation

4.1 Automatic Water Filling:

The DREO water pitchers feature an auto-fill sensor. When a pitcher is placed in the designated slot, the system will automatically detect it and begin filling with purified water. This provides hands-free refills.

4.2 Real-Time TDS Monitoring:

The unit displays Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels for both raw water and pure water in real-time. Press the 'Info' button to switch between raw water and pure water TDS readings.

4.3 Self-Cleaning System:

The DREO RO Water Filter 113 includes a self-cleaning system that automatically flushes internal tubes. This helps maintain consistent water purity and prolongs the filter's lifespan.
