Outlet Tube – Growth of mold or algae in the outlet tube means
maintenance is needed. This condition is most prevalent in hot, humid
climates. Periodic cleaning is recommended.
1. Remove Plastic Outlet Tubing by gently pulling tube off of adaptor
or by unscrewing adaptor fitting
2. Soak tube in 1–2 liters of water containing 15 ml (1 Tbsp) chlorine
solution (household bleach) for 30 minutes. Allow the chlorine solu-
tion to flow through the tube by tipping it back and forth.
3. Wipe the adapter outlet fitting clean with chlorine solution.
4. Rinse tube with filtered water and reinstall.
Diffuser Plate – Accumulation of dirt, scum, or debris in the
Diffuser Plate means maintenance is needed. Periodic cleaning is rec-
ommended.
1. Remove Filter Lid and Diffuser Plate.
2. Using a clean, wet cloth, wipe Diffuser Plate to remove debris.
Note: Do not use chlorine solution. If further cleaning is
necessary, use soapy water and rinse thoroughly before
reinstalling the Diffuser Plate.
3. Replace Filter Lid.
Clean Water Container – The need for periodic maintenance is
variable depending upon household conditions and use patterns.
Weekly sanitation with a chlorine solution is recommended.
1. Fill clean water container with a solution of 2 liters post-filtered,
clean water and 30 ml (2 Tbsp) chlorine solution (bleach). If
chlorine solution is not available, hot, soapy, post-filtered, clean
water can be used.
2. Using a clean cloth, thoroughly wash the inside and then the out-
side of clean water container with the chlorine solution.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean post-filtered water and air dry.
Note 1: Never use chlorine solution on the Diffuser Plate or in the
paused water reservoir. It will damage the biological layer.
Note 2: Never plug, cap, or tap the outlet tube. It needs to breathe.
Note 3: Instructions for proper maintenance are illustrated on the inside
of the Filter Lid.
