Instructions for Use

2. Insert the Filter: Insert the filter into the reservoir by lining up the groove in the filter with the notch in the reservoir. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Slow Filtration: If filtration is slow, ensure the filter is fully soaked and seated properly. If the issue persists, it may be time to replace the filter.
• Black Particles: Some black carbon particles may appear in the water; this is normal with a new filter. Flush the system by running two to three pitchers of water through the filter before use.
• Unusual Taste or Smell: If the water has an unusual taste or smell, ensure you've flushed the new filter adequately and that it's securely installed. If the problem continues, replace the filter.
• Filter Falls Out: If the filter falls out of the reservoir, realign it with the notch and press firmly to secure.
