Thank you for choosing the CLEO SFU 717 shower & tap filter from WaterScience.
The CLEO SFU 717 is a versatile filtration device that can be attached to almost any bath
fixture - taps, wall showers, hand showers and overhead showers.
As you may already be aware, Chlorine & hard-water are among the leading causes of
hair fall, dry skin and other dermatological conditions. Most of us wont know where our
water comes from or what it contains.
We have tried and changed hair and skin-care products - but what good are shampoos,
conditioners and creams when the problem is the water itself?
The solutions is to filter out harmful contaminants, before they reach the body. With its
unique 4 layer filtering system, the CLEO fights chlorine and hard-water salts to give
you clean and healthy water.

WaterScience CLEO uses patented KDF technology from KDF Fluid Treatment Inc., USA,
to eliminate up to 90% chlorine* in your water.
Effects of hard-water salts are reduced by a proprietary combination of Zeolites and
hardness dispersant media. This ensures that hard-water salts are filtered, reduced and
washed away, and do not settle on your skin.
90%*
Most of salts wash away with water, and whatever is left
behind can easily be removed with regular cleaning liquids!

Installation on
Wall / Overhead-showers
Step 1
Disconnect your shower-head from the shower arm &
clean the thread with sand paper to remove any debris.
Now wrap the thread of the shower arm with Teflon
tape to prevent leaks.
Step 2
Ensure 2 washers are inserted into the top connector of
the CLEO and wrap the bottom connector thread with
Teflon tape to prevent leaks.
Step 3
Align the CLEO top connector with the thread of the
shower arm & rotate clockwise to tighten.
Step 4
Flushing – Step away from the path of the water, turn on
the water and let the water flow out for 3 minutes. This
will flush out discoloured water – this is just carbon dust,
and it is not harmful.
Step 5
Align the bottom thread connector of your CLEO with
the shower-head connector and rotate clockwise to
tighten fully. You will need to use a washer for the
shower head connector as well.
Use a spanner to tighten. If there are leaks, check/insert
washers and tighten again.
Instructions are the same for wall monuted shower
arms and overhead showers.
CLEO will fit on all standard (1/2" BSP) shower arms.

Instructions for
Cartridge cleaning / reverse flushing
Step 1
Hold the top body of the CLEO Shower & Tap filter firmly
and turn the bottom body counter-clockwise to open
the filter unit and remove the cartridge.
Step 2
Gently tap the sides of the cartridge with the supplied
spanner or against the wall to loosen lumps that may
have formed inside.
Step 3
Flip cartridge and insert it in to the bottom Blue side up
shell cavity. Align the treads of the top & bottom and
rotate clockwise to tighten fully.
Step 4
Reverse Flushing – Turn on the water and step away
from the path of the water. Let the water flow out for 3
to 5 minutes. This will flush out most of the sediments
trapped inside.
If there is severe clogging, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Step 5
Re-insert the cartridge in to the bottom Red side up
shell cavity, align to the top shell and close the filter.
SYMPTOM : Water pressure if too low for a comfortable shower right after
installation.
SOLUTION : The CLEO comes with a water saving flow-restrictor / mesh washer. If
the incoming pressure or flow rate is low in your plumbing line, remove the flow
restrictor / mesh washer ( located inside the top connector )and use a regular washer
(provided in the installation kit)
SYMPTOM : Water flow from the shower & tap filter has reduced gradually / after
disuse
SOLUTION : When water pressure gradually drops from your CLEO shower & tap
filter, it is usually because of one of these reasons
1) The filter has not been used for several days & the sediments trapped inside may
have solidified
2) There is sediment accumulation inside the cartridge and has clogged the filter
(This is normal in areas with high sediment levels)
3) There is sediment accumulation in the flow restrictor / mesh-washer
4) The cartridge has crossed its capacity of 25,000 liters and reached the end of its
life.
Note : If the CLEO shower & tap filter is left unused for more than 2 weeks, there are
chances of lump formation from sediments getting solidified. This could render the
cartridge unusable and may need to be replaced.
SYMPTOM : Water leaks from the outer shell joint
SOLUTION : This is likely due to the O Ring of the cartridge not in position. You can
re-seat the O Ring and reinstall the cartridge and this should solve the leak.
SYMPTOM : Water leaks from the top / bottom connectors
SOLUTION : If the leak is from the top connector, you can check /re-insert / add
additional the washers and wrap the shower/tap connector as well. Check the
washers - you may need to use 2 or 3 washers to get the right leak-free fit for certain
types of shower-heads / hand showers / shower arms. You can re-seat the O Ring and
reinstall the cartridge and this should solve the leak.
FAQ
Will the CLEO shower & tap filter reduce the TDS of my water?
No, the CLEO is not designed to reduce TDS levels.
TDS (PPM) merely means there is ‘something’ in your water - eg. if you dissolve 10g of
sugar in a glass and 10g of salt in another glass, the TDS value would be similar. So,
TDS is not always the best measurement of water quality - as it can be good, bad or
harmless! A reduction in TDS can happen only with drinking water filters - RO /
Nano filters.
How often should I change the Cartridge?
The cartridge is designed to filter approximately 25,000L, which is roughly 6 months
of use. for However if you live in an area with high sediment contamination, the
cartridge might get choked sooner.
Can I use the CLEO with hot water?
Yes, CLEO works well with hot water up to 70 degrees Celsius.
Will CLEO reduce Iron from water?
No, CLEO cannot remove Iron content from water.
Are here any ingredients that can cause allergy?
All ingredients are completely safe and the same kind of filtration media that’s found
in drinking water systems. However, if you do develop any kind of allergic reaction,
discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor.
How soon will my hair-fall reduce?
Hair-fall can be caused by one or a combination of difference reasons - bad water,
diet, hereditary, reaction to medication or even stress! The CLEO shower filter is
designed to work well for most Indian water conditions - city supply or bore-well
supply. Typically within 4 to 6 weeks you should start seeing a difference in your
hair/skin health. Results, of course would vary from person to person and also for
different water conditions.
