How to Use the Carbon Filter

Follow these simple steps to prepare, install, and use your carbon filter correctly.

Step 01

Prime the Carbon Filter

Before installation, place the washer and wing nut correctly, then rinse the carbon filter under running water.

1
Remove the wing nut and filter washer, then place them back on the threaded stem in the correct position.
2
Make sure the washer and wing nut are positioned securely before connecting the filter to the faucet.
3
Rinse the carbon filter for at least 60 seconds, or until the water runs clear.
Tip: Priming helps flush loose carbon particles before the filter is installed.
Visual Guide Assemble → Tighten → Rinse
Place the washer and wing nut on the filter stem.
Tighten the wing nut until the parts fit correctly.
Rinse for at least 60 seconds until water runs clear.
Step 02

Install the Carbon Filters

Insert the threaded rod of each carbon filter through the upper chamber, then secure it from below.

1
Place the threaded rod of the carbon filter through a filter washer.
2
Insert the filter into the hole in the upper chamber.
3
From below, add the remaining washer and wing nut, then tighten securely.
Tip: Make sure each filter is stable and sealed before filling the upper chamber.

How It Works

How Gravity Filtration Works

Water flows from the upper chamber through the filter elements by gravity, then collects in the lower chamber and is ready to dispense.

1. Add Water

Pour water into the upper chamber. No electricity or plumbing is required.

2. Gravity Pulls Water Down

Water naturally moves through the filter elements by gravity.

3. Filtered Water Collects Below

Filtered water collects in the lower chamber and is ready to pour from the spigot.

Filter Replacement

Filter Replacement Guide

Replacing filters on time helps your filtration system keep working properly. It also helps maintain water flow, drinking water taste, and everyday use confidence.

!
Track Usage Time & Filter Life

Filter life may vary by water quality, usage frequency, and total water volume filtered.

Rated Filter Life Reached

Replace the filters when they reach the rated lifespan listed for your filter model.

Water Flow Becomes Slower

If filtering takes much longer than usual, clean or replace the filters as needed.

Taste or Odor Returns

If unwanted taste or smell becomes noticeable again, it may be time to replace the filters.

Source Water Matters

Rain, river, stream, or well water may shorten filter life compared with regular tap water.

What to Check Before Replacing Filters
Confirm Compatibility

Choose filters that match your filtration system, filter series, and setup.

Prepare New Filters

Prime, rinse, or flush new filters according to the product instructions.

Check Seals & Washers

Make sure washers, seals, and threaded parts are installed correctly.

Clean the System

Empty and clean the upper and lower chambers before installing new filters.

Replace Sets Together

If your system uses paired filters, replace matching filters together when needed.

Record the Date

Write down the replacement date and set a reminder based on your usage.
