Aarke Pure Filter Refill Granules Instruction Manual

1. Okwu mmalite

The Aarke Pure Filter Refill Granules are engineered to enhance water quality by reducing limescale, chlorine, and heavy metals such as copper and lead. This system ensures cleaner and improved-tasting water. Designed for compatibility with the Aarke Purifier water filter pitcher, these granules offer an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional cartridge replacements.

Each bag of granules provides up to 8 weeks of filtration performance, processing approximately 31.7 gallons (120 liters) of water. This product is a result of collaborative innovation with BWT, a leading water technology company, ensuring superior water quality and purity.

1. Disassemble the Filter Cartridge: Twist off the bottom part of your Aarke Purifier's stainless steel filter cartridge.
2. Pour Granules: Carefully pour the entire contents of one bag of Aarke Pure Filter Refill Granules into the empty filter cartridge.
3. Reassemble Cartridge: Twist the bottom part back onto the cartridge securely.
4. Initial Soak: Place the filled filter cartridge into a separate container filled with water. Allow it to soak for 5 minutes. This helps to release any trapped air and prepare the granules for optimal filtration.

6. Maintenance and Granule Replacement

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and water quality.

Granule Replacement

• Replace the Aarke Pure Filter Refill Granules every 8 weeks, or after filtering approximately 31.7 gallons (120 liters) of water, whichever comes first.
• To replace, follow the steps outlined in the "Setup and Granule Installation" section (Section 4).

Nhicha

• All parts of the Aarke Purifier, including the glass carafe and stainless steel hopper, are dishwasher safe.
• The filter cartridge should be hand-washed with mild soap and water when replacing granules. Do not put the filter cartridge in the dishwasher.

7. Nchọpụta nsogbu

• Slow Filtration: If filtration seems unusually slow, ensure the granules were properly soaked during initial setup. Over time, mineral buildup can also affect flow rate; consider replacing granules if they are past their recommended lifespan.
• Ụtọ/isi na-adịghị ahụkebe: If the filtered water develops an unusual taste or odor, it is likely time to replace the filter granules. Ensure the first batch of filtered water was discarded after granule replacement.
• Na-agbapụta: Check that all parts of the filter cartridge and pitcher are correctly assembled and tightened. Ensure the silicone bumper is properly seated.
