Care and Maintenance

Thank you for choosing Aquifer Pure for your water purification needs! To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your products, please follow the care and maintenance guidelines outlined below. These steps will help maintain the purity and efficiency of your water filtration systems.

General Care and Maintenance Tips

  • Handle with Care: Always handle your Aquifer Pure products carefully to avoid damage. Clean and maintain the filters and devices as per the recommended guidelines to ensure they perform at their best.

  • Store in a Dry Place: When not in use, store filters, taps, and other accessories in a cool, dry place to prevent any damage from moisture or humidity.

Filter Care Instructions

  1. Filter Replacement:

    • The life of your filter depends on the type of water you're filtering and the level of usage. Generally, filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months. For heavy usage or highly contaminated water, replace your filter sooner.

    • You will notice a decrease in water flow or a change in taste when it's time for a filter change.

  2. Cleaning the Filter:

    • Some Aquifer Pure filters are washable. If your product allows for cleaning, follow the manufacturer instructions for washing and drying.

    • Use lukewarm water and avoid harsh chemicals to clean the filter.

    • Never scrub the filter with abrasive materials as this can damage the filtration media.

  3. Pre-filter Maintenance:

    • If your system includes a pre-filter, check it regularly for debris or buildup. Rinse it gently with water to maintain its efficiency.

Tap Care Instructions

  1. Regular Cleaning:

    • Clean your tap regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges or strong chemicals, as they may damage the surface or leave harmful residues.

    • If you notice any buildup around the faucet, soak a cloth in vinegar or citric acid solution, wrap it around the affected area, and let it sit for 30 minutes before wiping away the buildup.

  2. Avoid Leaks:

    • Ensure that the tap is properly tightened to prevent leaks. If you notice a leak, check the O-rings and seals, and replace them if necessary.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  1. Low Water Flow:

    • If you experience slow water flow, check the filter for clogging or buildup. Replace or clean the filter according to the instructions.

    • Check if the tap or valve is fully open and clear of any obstructions.

  2. Unpleasant Taste or Odor:

    • A strange taste or odor may indicate that the filter is nearing the end of its lifespan or needs a cleaning. Replace the filter or follow cleaning guidelines as appropriate.

Safety Guidelines

  • Do Not Overuse: Avoid overloading the system with large volumes of water in a short amount of time to ensure the system can filter effectively and avoid damage.

  • Temperature Considerations:

    • Do not expose Aquifer Pure filters or taps to temperatures above 100°F (38°C) as this may damage the materials and affect filtration efficiency.

  • Check Water Source: If you’re using a source with high sediment content, pre-filtering the water may be necessary to extend the life of your primary filter.
