2 USE AND CARE
IMPORTANT!
Please read before rst use.
If you are using a water cooler with this product, please read this! Our ZeroWater®
Filter Bottle ts most standard water coolers AFTER the splash guard is removed!
If the splash guard is not removed, the oat valve on the ZeroWater® Filter Bottle
will not work and will cause your water to spill!
DIRECTIONS FOR REMOVING THE SPLASH GUARD
If you look into the reservoir you’ll see the splash guard with a spike, used to pierce
a hole in the cap of bulk water containers. Grip the splash guard, turn it counter
clockwise and pull up on it. This should remove the splash guard from the water
cooler. If you have further questions about this process with your particular model,
you may need to refer to your user’s manual. If you still need assistance, please call
our Customer Service number.

clogging up landlls. Zero Technologies, LLC is proud to be the only major company

If you wish to participate in this program, you will need to do a few simple steps
to be sure the lters returned are processed accurately for recycling.

Bensalem, PA 19020
Make sure to clearly mark your package
“ATTN: RECYCLING PROGRAM”.
When the lter reaches us, the plastic as well as the materials inside it will be
separated and sent to various facilities for reuse. We are asking customers to pay

Use and Care Instructions
Please read before rst use.
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING CARTRIDGE
AND FIRST USE
1. Clean all plastic components and lter cartridges by washing and rinsing
thoroughly with warm water only. Rinse the Filter Bottle thoroughly when washing
with soap.
2. Note: the Filter Bottle components, lter cartridges and TDS meter are not
dishwasher safe.
3. Discard all plastic bags. This may be a suocation hazard to young children.
ASSEMBLY
1. Take the lower chamber and place the lower chamber divider
rim rmly on the top. The rippled part of the white rim should
be overlapping the lower chamber. If assembled upside
down, there will be leakage. Be sure it ts tightly on the
lower chamber (see ZeroWater® Filter Bottle components
on page 4).
2. Screw oat valve tightly into hole on bottom of lower
chamber (inset A). Do not prop the Filter Bottle on the oat
valve once assembled, as it is fragile and will break.
3. Place the lower chamber on top of your cooler with the
oat valve tting inside the cooler’s reservoir (see Using
Your ZeroWater® Filter Bottle with a Standard Water Cooler
on page 6).
4. Install lter cartridges now, using steps 1 and 2 from
instructions on next page.
5. Place the upper chamber on top of the lower chamber. Be
sure that the lower chamber divider ring is tightly axed
around the lower chamber (see ZeroWater® Filter Bottle
components on page 4).

6 USE AND CARE
INSTALLATION OF FILTER CARTRIDGES
1. Remove lter cartridges from packaging.
2. Tightly screw cartridge into hole on bottom side of reservoir to obtain a complete
seal with the o-ring, otherwise your water will not read “000”(see ZeroWater®
Filter Bottle components on page 4).
3. Place upper chamber with attached lter cartridges back onto the lower chamber
divider rim of the lower chamber (see ZeroWater® Filter Bottle components on
page 4).
If new lters are exposed to cold temperatures for prolonged periods, keep lters at
room temperature for several hours before passing water through the rst time.
USING YOUR FILTER BOTTLE WITH A STANDARD
WATER COOLER sold separately
1. Unplug your cooler.
2. Drain all water from the cooler using the spigots and the drain plug in the back
of the cooler. Using a cooler without water in it, when plugged in, can cause it
to smoke and break. Make sure you secure the drain plug when you are nished
draining the cooler.
3. Be sure you have removed the splashguard from the cooler reservoir. Refer to
page (2) for directions.
4. Clean the reservoir and spigots by mixing 1 tablespoon of baking soda into 1 gallon
of hot water and pouring the solution directly into the cooler reservoir.
5. Let solution sit for about 30 minutes and then drain through spigots and drain plug.
6. Flush the cooler with three gallons of plain hot water using same method. Secure
the drain plug. The total capacity of the bottom chamber is three gallons.
7. Do not replace the splashguard or spike xture.
8. Now your cooler is ready for your assembled ZeroWater® Filter Bottle. Add water
before plugging cooler back into electrical outlet (See step 6 under section “Filling
the ZeroWater® Filter Bottle with Tap Water on page 7).”
USE AND CARE 7
FILLING THE FILTER BOTTLE WITH TAP WATER
1. Remove lid.
2. Slowly ll the upper reservoir with cold tap water. Be careful not to dump water
too quickly into the upper chamber when the lower chamber is empty because
it may tip and spill.
3. Allow water to pass from the upper chamber through the lters to the lower
chamber. Water will be ready to drink in several minutes.
4. Test the water using the TDS meter to conrm a “000” reading.
5. If it doesn’t read “000”, ush the water out and pour new water through.
6. Do not over ll. The rst time you ll your Filter Bottle it will take extra water to ll
the cooler reservoir. When water in the lower chamber reaches the divider rim do
not put any more water in the upper chamber, as it may leak. The upper chamber
is not designed to be a long term reservoir.
Safety Precautions: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without proper disinfection before or after the system. Individuals
requiring water of specic microbiological purity should consult their physician.
Unless notied otherwise, municipal water is potable.
