The Frizzlife DS99/DS99-S Stainless Steel Countertop Water Filtration System is designed to provide clean, filtered water directly from your kitchen faucet. This system offers a convenient and effective solution for improving water quality by reducing various contaminants, making tap water safer and more pleasant to drink. Its countertop design means it requires no complex under-sink installation, making it a user-friendly option for many households.
The primary function of the Frizzlife DS99/DS99-S system is to filter municipal tap water, removing harmful substances while retaining beneficial minerals. The system utilizes a multi-stage filtration process, typically involving two filter cartridges: a Composite Carbon Block Filter (5µm) and a Carbon Block Filter (0.5µm). For the DS99-S model, a Scale Inhibition filter is included, which helps to prevent scale buildup, extending the life of appliances and improving water quality in hard water areas.
When water flows through the system, the first stage, the Composite Carbon Block Filter, targets larger particles, sediment, rust, and chlorine. This initial filtration helps to improve the taste and odor of the water significantly. The second stage, the finer Carbon Block Filter, further refines the water by capturing smaller contaminants, including heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, as well as over 90% of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and Cysts. This comprehensive filtration ensures that the water dispensed is substantially free from common pollutants, providing a healthier drinking experience.
The system is designed for cold water use only, and it is crucial not to freeze the filter, as this can cause cracking and water leakage, compromising the system's integrity and performance. The filtration process does not remove minerals, which means that while harmful contaminants are filtered out, the beneficial mineral content of the water is preserved. This is an important distinction, as some filtration systems remove all dissolved solids, including minerals, which can alter the water's natural profile. Therefore, if you test the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of the filtered water, it may not show a significant drop if your source water is rich in minerals, as the system is specifically designed to target harmful contaminants rather than total dissolved solids.
The Frizzlife DS99/DS99-S system is designed for ease of use and integration into a standard kitchen setup. Installation is straightforward, involving the removal of the faucet's aerator and connecting the system using an appropriate adapter. The manual provides clear instructions on how to select the correct adapter for both external and internal threaded faucets, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. A key step during installation is to ensure the washer and seal rings are firmly in place to prevent any water leakage. If leakage occurs at the connection point, the use of plumber's tape is recommended.
Once installed, the system is operated via a simple lever mechanism. This lever allows users to switch between unfiltered tap water and filtered water. To get filtered water, the lever is switched to the level position, directing water through the filtration cartridges. For regular tap water, the lever is switched to the downward direction, bypassing the filtration system. This dual functionality offers convenience, allowing users to choose filtered water for drinking and cooking, and unfiltered water for other tasks like washing dishes.
Before the first use, it is essential to flush the system with water for 5-10 minutes in the "Filtered Water" position. This initial flush helps to clear any carbon dust from the new filters and ensures that the water runs clear. During this initial flush, users might observe a small amount of black water or hear sounds of air being pushed out of the filter, which are normal phenomena due to the active carbon and air in the new cartridges. It is also important not to run water at temperatures higher than 100°F (38°C) through the filtered water setting.
The compact design of the system, with its stainless steel base and sleek filter housings, allows it to sit neatly on the countertop without taking up excessive space. The product introduction section of the manual clearly labels all components, including the filter housings, filters, stainless steel base, spout, mounting base, adapters, and inlet hose, which aids in understanding the system's structure and assembly.
Maintaining the Frizzlife DS99/DS99-S system primarily involves the timely replacement of filter cartridges. The system's effectiveness relies on the filters being replaced according to the recommended schedule. The manual specifies replacement intervals for both the DS99 and DS99-S models, with the DSF01/DSFS01 filters recommended for replacement every 6-8 months, and the DSF02 filter every 8-12 months. These intervals are based on laboratory tests and provided water conditions, but actual filter life can vary depending on the source water quality and daily water usage.
The filter replacement process is designed to be user-friendly. When it's time to replace a filter, the system should be placed in the sink to catch any spilled water. The old filter housing is twisted off, the expired filter cartridge is removed, and a new one is twisted into the corresponding base. It is crucial to ensure that the sealing ring of the new filter is installed firmly to prevent leaks. After installing the new filter and reattaching the housing, the system should be flushed for 5-10 minutes in the filtered water position, similar to the initial setup. This flushing helps to activate the new filter and remove any air or carbon dust.
The manual emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and leak inspection. Customers are responsible for ensuring the system operates correctly, which includes regular checks for leaks. If any leakage occurs, troubleshooting steps involve checking the adapter, sealing rings, and the spout's installation. The warranty information also highlights the owner's responsibility for periodic maintenance as described in the literature. Failure to observe conditions such as using the system with water exceeding 100°F or using it outdoors in direct sunlight or freezing temperatures can void the warranty. Filter cartridges are considered disposable items and are not covered by the warranty.
Overall, the Frizzlife DS99/DS99-S Stainless Steel Countertop Water Filtration System offers a practical, easy-to-install, and simple-to-maintain solution for enhancing the quality of drinking water in your home. Its focus on removing harmful contaminants while preserving beneficial minerals, combined with its user-friendly design, makes it a valuable addition to any kitchen.
