Waterdrop Pitcher Filtration System
Owner's Manual
Thank you for choosing our product. The Waterdrop pitcher delivers clean, healthy, and great-tasting water for you and your family by offering household water filters.
Can TDS Indicate Water Quality?
TDS refers to Total Dissolved Solids, including all minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc.
| Substance | TDS Range |
|---|---|
| Milk | 1000~3000 |
| Milk powder | >2000 |
| Coffee | 150~400 |
| Mineral water | 200~500 |
The TDS level does not fully indicate the quality of the water. It is improper to use TDS to measure the water filtered by this product. Only the Reverse Osmosis Filtration System can really reduce TDS. This product adopts coconut shell activated carbon to effectively adsorb contaminants and heavy metals while retaining beneficial minerals in the water.

Care and Safety Information
- Use cold water only. The operating temperature of this pitcher filtration system is 41-100°F (5-38°C).
- Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or of unknown quality. This filter can not filter other liquids other than tap water.
- We recommend that you store your system in the refrigerator or in a cool area that is not in direct sunlight to get refreshing, great-tasting water.
- If the filter dries out, soak it in cold tap water for 10 minutes to remove bubbles before use to activate the filter and ensure the best filtration performance.
- If there is a lot of turbidity in tap water (such as cleaning the water tank or not using tap water for a long time), please flush it for a few minutes until the water turns clean before using.
- If the water filter pitcher is not going to be used for a long time, please put it in a clean container with a lid. Then place it in the refrigerator, which will prolong the cartridge life.
- The filter must be protected from freezing, otherwise it might cause cracking and water leakage from the filter.
Getting Started / Instruction for Use
Step 1: Prepare the Filter
Wash your hands, then remove the filter from its filter box.
Step 2: Activate the Filter
Soak the filter in cold tap water for 10 minutes to remove bubbles before use. This activates the filter and ensures the best filtration performance.
Step 3: Clean the Pitcher Components
Hand-wash the pitcher, lid, and reservoir with a mild detergent. Do not put them in the dishwasher or use abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with water after washing.
Step 4: Install the Filter
Install the filter into the reservoir. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.
Step 5: Fill and Flush
Fill the reservoir with cold tap water. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water.
Step 6: Activate the Filter Life Indicator
Hold the button on the filter life indicator for 5 seconds until the blue light flashes. This activates the indicator. Note: Repeat this step after each new filter replacement.
Filter Maintenance
Change Water Filter
Consult steps 1 to 6 for replacing the water filter. Correctly dispose of the used filter life indicator according to all applicable provisions and regulations.
Change Filter Life Indicator
The filter life indicator is replaceable. Replace it by squeezing the clamping jaw. During reinstallation, make sure that the clamping jaw is inserted into the groove completely.
Filter Life Indicator Status:
| Status Light | Indication | Remaining Life (days) |
|---|---|---|
| Blue (stays on for 5 seconds) | Good | >10 |
| Red (flashes 6 times) | Replace Soon | ≤10 |
| Red (stays on for 10 seconds) | Replace Now | ≤0 |
You should change your filter when you have filtered 100 gallons of water or the filter life indicator shows red, whichever comes first.

Questions and Answers
Q: Why does the water flow get slow?
A: The filter cartridge may be clogged. Please check the indicator to see if it's time to change the filter cartridge. If yes, please replace the filter cartridge immediately. If not, take out the filter and shake it intensely to shift the granules inside, which will improve the speed of water flow.
Q: What will be the pH level after filtration?
A: Generally speaking, it can be adjusted to 8.0-9.5, which is related to the quality of the raw water.
Q: My filter life indicator is not working, I cannot see the color of the indicator!
A: The battery might be out of power. Do not worry, the filter indicator is replaceable. If it's in the warranty period, Waterdrop can replace it for free.
Q: Why doesn't the TDS value be reduced after filtration?
A: TDS stands for total dissolved solids. It is composed of inorganic salts and a small amount of organic matter. This filter cannot lower the TDS value because it removes harmful substances while keeping beneficial trace elements such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium, which can increase the TDS value. Please choose Waterdrop's RO system if you are looking for physical removal of TDS.
