onto end of faucet. If male threads are not present, screw in one of the
adapters that have been provided in the small plastic bag, then install the
diverter onto the adapter. Y our filter is now ready for filling.
4. T o avoid any problems caused by airlock in the filter housing, the
unit should be held upside-down over the sink, while filling for the
first time only . Turn the cold water tap partially then pull the diverter
valve to allow water to slowly fill the unit for the first time.
5. When the water starts to flow out of the spigot, turn unit right
side up. Note: you may see some loose black carbon or white
ceramic dust, it will flush out. Allow the water to run to waste for 10
minutes until water runs clear.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
Problem: Leak between white housing and base.
The ceramic filter element has been tested in
accordance with and meets NSF protocol 42 & 53 for re-
duction of cysts, turbidity, particulates, chlorine and lead.

Solution: First tighten down white sump into base. If this doesn’t
stop leakage, turn unit upside down, unscrew white housing from
base and reseat black “O” ring into groove.
Problem: Initially no water comes out of unit.
5
Solution: Check that the opening “hole” in the ceramic filter is
facing the hole in the base to allow for proper water flow.
Problem: Flow rate slows down.
Solution: Follow directions for cleaning unit.
Problem: Diverter valve doesn’t fit onto faucet.
Solution: Use one of the adaptors that was supplied with unit. If
neither one fits, call service at CWR for A UNIVERSAL ADAPTER.
Problem: Cleaning ceramic filter repetatively no longer restores flow rate.
Solution: Replace filters.

GUIDELINES FOR FILTER REPLACEMENT:
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CWR WATER FILTER:
The CWR, Water Filter that you have purchased is provided with a
ceramic/carbon filter and an fluoride filter. The filters should be
changed periodically since contaminants like chlorine and chemicals bind to the carbon and eventually the filter’s performance is
diminished. The time interval for filter replacement depends on usage and the types and concentrations of contaminants in your tap
water. Also, since the number of people in a family vary and there
are geographical differences in the types of contaminants, intervals
between filter changes will vary. We recommend that you...
1b
Replace Filter Every
6 months to 1 year
Under no circumstance should your filter be left in longer than 1 year.
Since the ceramic filter collects dirt on the surface, very dirty
source water will cause the flow rate to slow down. As soon as
you notice the flow rate decreased you must follow the instructions
to clean the ceramic filter. Failure to clean your ceramic filter in a
timely matter will cause dirt to accumulate and increase the
backpressure in the unit and it will be very difficult to open the unit.

Due to filtration of particulate (dirt) contaminants from the water
during use, the flow of water from the filter may reduce over a
period of time. To restore the water flow to its normal level simply remove, clean and replace the filter cartridge as follows:
____________________________________________________________
1) Open the white housing (sump) on the ceramic unit, by holding the unit upside down over the sink; unscrew the white housing (sump) clockwise. The sump will be full of water. Discard
the water.
2) Use a non-detergent, abrasive pad, “Scotch Brite” and lightly
brush off the ceramic filter under cold water until clean. NEVER
USE SOAP OR ANY CLEANING AGENTS. If the filter is st ained,
brushing will not remove the stains. Do not rub the filter too
hard as it will cause excessive wearing of the ceramic and crack.
3) Clean the inside of the base and sump with a 50% solution
of water and peroxide using a vegetable scrub brush. DO NOT
USE THIS BRUSH FOR ANY FOOD PROCESSING. Clean
threads of housing with Q-tip.
Conditions that require immediate filter replacement:
1. Cleaning ceramic filter no longer restores flow rate.
2. Following a “Boil Alert”.
3. Running HOT water through the unit.
4. If there is a breach in the ceramic or there is any noticeable
cracks in the ceramic.
The purpose of cleaning your ceramic is to remove excessive dirt
buildup, it wil not remove stains.
Following these simple maintenance guidelines will provide you
and your family with years of safe water for all your
drinking,cooking, rinsing, ice cubes and beverage requirements.

4) Reinstall ceramic filter into the base and screw in the white
housing (sump) into the base. MAKE SURE “O” RING IS
SEATED PROPERLY,
5) The Fluoride + Heavy Metal Filter cannot be cleaned.
