AQUAPHOR CRYSTAL SOLO

MANUAL

Aquaphor Crystal Solo is an innovative single stage water filter for drinking water purification.
The replacement filter cartridge is manufactured utilizing carbon block technology as a filter
matrix media consisting of coconut granulated activated carbon (GAC) and the ion-exchange
fiber Aqualen

Thanks to the unique patented design of the
collector, and using a new concept of
'block-cartridge', the Aquaphor Crystal Solo
is very compact.

For the first time in water purification the
replacement filter cartridge is made as a
self-contained 'block-cartridge' in durable
plastic housing. While replacing the cartridge,
you are not only changing the filter element
but also the whole body of the system as
well.This guarantees you an additional
protection from bacteria growth.

The amount of sorbent in the cartridges is
10% greater than standard 10-inch

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Warning! Before installing the filter,
supply pressure measurement is
needed. In case your incoming water
pressure exceeds 6.5 atm (96 psi)
you will have to install a pressure
regulator (not included in the set).

Find appropriate locations for the drinking
water faucet (1), the filter itself (2) and shut
off valve (fig.1).

NOTE: the tubing should be placed
easily and without fracture, and it
should be safe from damage and of
being pulled out of the fittings. The
filter should be kept away from
sources of heat (washing and
dishwashing machine, kitchen stove,
boiler, hot water pipes).

Warning! Use only the ceramic core
faucet (drinking water faucet) (1)
supplied. Aquaphor cannot guarantee
proper filter function in case you use
any other faucets. Do not use excessive
force to tighten; the manufacturer is not
responsible for installation or connection
issues. It is recommended to have the
filter installed by a professional.
