Setting Up Your Philips Aquaporin Reverse Osmosis Water Station
Here’s the quick version of your Philips Aquaporin Reverse Osmosis Water Station, with Instant Heating setup:
- Unpack and Find a Spot: Get everything out of the box and make sure all the parts and components are complete. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface somewhere near a power source.
- Tank and Filter In: Slot the raw water tank into its spot. Grab the filter cartridge, pop it into the dispenser and give it a clockwise twist until it feels secure.

And that's it! Your Philips Aquaporin Reverse Osmosis Water Station, with Instant Heating setup is done.
Daily Maintenance
A little bit of care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your Philips water station running properly:
- Cleaning the Tanks: Give the raw water tank and the filtered water jug a rinse if you spot any gunk building up. Use a soft brush if needed. Aim to clean them properly at least once a week to keep things fresh.
-
Descaling (Every 3 Months or So): Mineral buildup can happen over time. To sort it out:
- Fill the raw water tank about halfway with water.
- Chuck in about 30g of citric acid (you can grab this online or from most supermarkets) and give it a gentle stir.
- Let it soak for two hours without putting the tank back in the machine.
- Tip the citric acid solution out and give the tank a really good rinse with tap water.
Replacing the Filter Cartridge
Your water station is smart enough to tell you when the filter needs changing.
-
Understanding the Filter Lifetime Indicator:
- White light: All good, plenty of life left (over 10%).
- Flashing red light: Getting close, less than 10% life left.
- Solid red light: Less than 7 days left. Change it ASAP.
-
How to Change the Filter:
- Power Down: Switch off and unplug the machine. Safety first!
- Old Filter Out: Take out the raw water tank. Open the top lid of the machine. Twist the old filter anti-clockwise and lift it out.
- New Filter In: Grab your new filter, pop it in and twist it clockwise until it locks in place. Feels secure? Good.
- Finish Up: Close the lid, put the raw water tank back.
- Power Up & Reset: Plug it back in, switch it on. Now, reset the filter life timer (see below).
You'll also want to run a cleaning cycle like you did during the initial setup.
Resetting the Filter Lifetime
- With the machine plugged in and on, find the reset button(s).
- Press and hold them down for about 3 seconds. You should hear three beeps.
- The indicator light should go back to white. Job done!
