Filling a ZeroWater pitcher is a straightforward process to ensure you have access to purified water. Here's how:
- Remove the Lid: Take off the pitcher's lid, exposing the water reservoir.
- Fill the Reservoir: Pour cold tap water directly into the reservoir. Make sure the water flows through the ZeroWater filter. Do not overfill.
- Let it Filter: Allow all the water in the reservoir to completely filter through into the pitcher below. This may take some time, especially with a new filter.
- Refill (If Needed): Once the reservoir is empty, you can refill it as needed until the pitcher is full.
- Enjoy! Once the pitcher is full, pour yourself a glass of refreshing, filtered ZeroWater.
Important Considerations:
- Filter Placement: Ensure the filter is properly seated in the reservoir to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing it.
- Water Source: Only use potable (safe to drink) tap water in your ZeroWater pitcher.
- Filter Life: The lifespan of your ZeroWater filter depends on the quality of your tap water. You'll need to replace the filter when the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) reading on your included meter reaches 006 ppm.
- Priming the Filter: Sometimes, a new filter might filter very slowly. Ensure the filter is fully submerged during the filling process. Gently shaking the filter underwater before installing can also help.
