Application
Cyst, chlorine, taste, color, odor and VOC reduction for safer rural drinking water
Common examples of VOCs include:
- Formaldehyde: Found in building materials, pressed wood products, and certain fabrics.
- Benzene: Present in tobacco smoke, stored fuels, and some industrial emissions.
- Toluene: Used in paint thinners, adhesives, and nail polish.
- Ethylene glycol: Found in antifreeze and certain paints.
- Xylene: Used in the printing, rubber, and leather industries.
Common Types of Cysts in Water:
-
Giardia: Caused by the protozoan Giardia lamblia, giardiasis is an intestinal infection that can result in diarrhea, cramps, and nausea. Giardia cysts are common in untreated water sources such as lakes, rivers, and streams.
-
Cryptosporidium: This protozoan parasite causes cryptosporidiosis, which leads to severe diarrhea and stomach cramps. Cryptosporidium cysts are highly resistant to chlorine disinfection and are often found in contaminated drinking water and recreational water sources.
Description
The cap and body are spin welded together producing a smooth, consistent seal without the use of glues or binders that can cause contamination. The result of these design and production techniques is a reliable filter that is fast and easy to install.
- The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water treatment system are not necessarily in your water.
- Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Installation
Removing the existing filter
• Turn off the water supply to the filter under the sink.
• Turn on the tap to empty the water from the tap and line
• Gently with your fingernails hold the collet and pull the tube out
Installing the new Filter
• Ensure the filter is in the correct direction by following the arrow Inlet to the outlet
• Push the tube into the collet as far as it can go at each end.
• Then gently pull the tube to ensure it has locked into place
• Turn the water on and flush the carbon fines through the filter for a few minutes by turning on the tap
