      Doris LunaAug 4, 2025
      The quartz sleeve in your Aquafine Water Filtration System might be dirty after thirty days of use due to minerals, debris, and other substances present in the water. To resolve this, wash the quartz sleeves with mild soap and water, then rinse them with clean, hot water.
