GRAVITY WATER PURIFIER

Operating Manual

Restoring the
Fresh Natural Taste

Gravity Water Purier

This simple unit does not require plumbing or electrical connections.

It is able to signicantly reduce suspended solid, microorganisms, chlorine, organic pesticides
and offending tastes/ odours.

How the system should be rst used

A polyethylene container located at the top of the unit is tted with Waterco Ceramic cartridge.
Water is poured into the container and is ltered through the ceramic cartridge as it makes its way
to the lower chamber.
Before the Gravity Water Purier is used, allow approximately 4 litres of water to pass through the
system to remove any ne granular activated carbon particles.

These particles are harmless.

CZR canister preparation

Remove the CZR canister from its packaging. Soak the CZR canister in water overnight. Pour
water into the canister and then stand it in water that is as deep as the height of the canister. This
process will help wet the surface of the CZR and remove trapped air. Screw the CZR canister onto
the container. Do not over screw the CZR canister, as the thread may break. The CZR canister, once
activated, must not be allowed to dry out.

Important information

1. Gravity Water Purifier should filter approximately 1 Litre per hour. If you are experiencing an
unusually slow ow rate; soak the Waterco Ceramic Cartridge in a mug of water for 30 - 45
minutes with the plastic nozzle pointing upwards and above the water level. This procedure will
remove trapped air in the cartridge.

2. Ensure that the ltered water is turned over at least once a day. To prevent algae, wipe the
Gravity Water Purier’s inner walls once a week.

3. The CZR media should never be allowed to dry out.
There are two reasons for this:

a) The bacteriostatic effect ( of the CZR ) will be “ switched off “

if the ltered water is not physically kept in contact with the CZR.

b) The drying process will cause the CZR particles to adhere together.

It will be difcult to pass water through such media as it has become “ blocked up “.

For these reasons, always top up the water in the lter.
