Set Up Your Gravity Water Filter
Welcome! Your system is ready to use in about 10 minutes. No tools, plumbing or power needed.
Gravity water filter (6L and 8L)
- Wash. Wash both chambers and the lid with warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse. Don't use soap on the carbon filters.
- Install the carbon filters. Insert the two carbon filters through the holes in the base of the top chamber and hand-tighten the wing nuts underneath. Snug is enough, so don't force them.
- Post-Treat filters (if you have them). Thread one Post-Treat filter by hand onto the stem under each carbon filter.
- Attach the spigot to the lower chamber, then stack the chambers.
- Fill the top chamber with cold tap water.
- Discard the first one or two batches. A little carbon dust at first is normal.
Then just keep the top chamber topped up and you'll always have filtered water ready at the spigot.
Care
- Wash the chambers every few weeks with warm water and mild dish soap. Skip abrasive pads.
- Never wash the filters with soap or put them in the dishwasher.
- Carbon filters: replace every 6–12 months, depending on your water and use.
- Post-Treat fluoride filters: replace every 3–4 months.
- Replace sooner if the flow slows noticeably or the taste changes.

Shower filter and filtered shower head
- Unscrew your shower head (or the old filter) from the shower arm.
- Wrap the shower arm threads clockwise with plumber's thread-seal tape, 3–4 turns.
- Screw on the filter or filtered shower head by hand. If you're using the in-line shower filter, reattach your shower head below it.
- Run the water for a minute to flush the new cartridge.
- Replace the cartridge about every 3 months.
