Step 1: Cleanliness is Key
Before we dive into assembling your Filteroo® Joey, let’s start with the most important step—keeping everything clean. Your hands carry natural oils that could affect the filter’s performance, so give them a quick wash before handling any of the parts, especially the cartridges. A little care here goes a long way in ensuring your water stays pure.
Step 2: Inspect Your Components
Once you've washed your hands, it’s time to unpack your Filteroo®. Carefully remove everything from the box and inspect all components. Ensure that they have arrived in good condition and are ready for assembly. If you notice any breakages or missing parts, don’t hesitate to contact us immediately for assistance with replacements.
Step 3: Washing the Parts
Next, you’ll want to wash all the parts, except for the cartridges. Use warm water and a light dishwashing liquid to clean the lid, the top and bottom tanks, and the tap. After washing, lightly dry these parts and place them on a flat surface on your countertop to avoid any rolling or falling.
Step 4: Position the Base
Now, let’s move on to the assembly! Start by placing the base into position. Once the base is secure, sit the bottom tank on top of the base. This is the foundation of your Filteroo, so ensure it’s stable.
Step 5: Prime Your Cartridges
It’s time to prime your cartridges! This step is crucial for ensuring optimal performance. If you need assistance with this, check out our priming videos in our learning centre. Once your cartridges are primed, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 6: Installing the Cartridges
To install your carbon or ceramic cartridge, remove the wing nut but keep the washer on the thread. Insert the thread through the hole in the top tank from the inside out. Then, screw the wing nut back onto the underside of the top tank, but remember: do not over-tighten!
Step 7: Lower the Top Tank
Once your cartridge is installed, lower the top tank inside the bottom tank. This is a straightforward step, but make sure everything aligns properly.
Step 8: Flushing Your Filter
Before you can enjoy your first glass of water, we recommend flushing twelve litres of water through the cartridge. This step ensures you have the best taste right from the start. As the water filters through to the bottom tank, open the tap and allow the water to empty out into a bucket or container. This water can be reused for your garden or plants!
Step 9: Fill and Enjoy!
Finally, all you have to do is fill your Filteroo® to the top, put the lid back on, and voila! Your first glass of Filteroo filtered water will be ready in no time. Enjoy the fresh taste and remember to take a moment to love your water today!
Cleaning Your Filter
Due to the filtration of particulate contaminants from the water during use, the flow of water from the filter cartridge may be reduced. To restore the flow, the filter cartridge can be scrubbed clean.
- Wash and dry your hands before handling the used filter cartridge.
- Remove the cartridge following the filter cartridge installation instructions by unscrewing the wingnut.
- Take care at all times not to contaminate the threaded part of the mount or washer with unfiltered water.
- Place the cartridge under a running tap or in a bowl of clean water. Hold the ceramic only under clean water evenly scour with the scouring pad provided and rinse the surface.
The candle is now ready for replacement into the filter housing in accordance with the filter installation instructions.
Remember to follow the steps diligently and enjoy the refreshing, filtered water with ease.
