Aqua Optima is a leading brand in water filtration technology, owned by Strix Limited, a global leader in kettle controls and water purification. For over 20 years, Aqua Optima has developed efficient systems designed to deliver purer, great-tasting water by reducing common impurities such as chlorine, limescale, heavy metals, herbicides, and pesticides.

Their product range includes stylish water filter jugs, the innovative オーロラ そして ルミ instant hot and chilled water dispensers, and the widely compatible Evolve+ filter cartridges. Aqua Optima focuses on providing sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to single-use bottled water, helping households reduce plastic waste while enjoying high-quality hydration.

• How often should I change my Aqua Optima filter?

  For best performance, the Evolve+ filter cartridge should be replaced after 100 liters of use or approximately every 30 days.

• How do I prepare a new filter cartridge?

  Soak the cartridge in a bowl of water for 5–10 minutes to remove air bubbles, then rinse it under a running tap for 1 minute before fitting it into the vessel.

• Why are there black particles in my new filter?

  You may see small black carbon particles; this is normal and harmless. They are residue from the activated carbon and will wash away during the initial preparation process.

• What do the lights on the Aurora dispenser mean?

  An orange filter icon indicates the filter needs changing. A solid orange 'Rinse/Descale' light means a rinse is needed, while flashing orange indicates descaling is required.

• Can I filter hot water with Aqua Optima products?

  No, you should only filter cold or room temperature tap water (up to 30°C). Filtering hot water can damage the appliance and void the warranty.
