Using an Aqua water filter, specifically the filter cartridge within an Aqua Optima jug, involves preparing the cartridge and fitting it correctly into the jug's inner vessel.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on the steps provided:
Preparing Your Aqua Filter Cartridge
Before inserting your new Aqua filter cartridge, you need to activate and prepare it. This ensures proper water flow and filtration from the first use.
- Soaking: Start by soaking the filter cartridge. Place it in a bowl filled with water.
- Soak the filter cartridge in a bowl of water for 5–10 minutes to remove all the air bubbles. This step is crucial to allow water to fully permeate the filter media and prevent slow flow later on.
- Rinsing: After soaking, the cartridge needs a good rinse.
- Rinse for 1 minute under a running tap. This helps wash away any loose particles and further prepares the filter for use.
Fitting the Filter Cartridge
Once the filter cartridge is prepared, the next step is to fit it into your Aqua Optima jug.
- Locate the inner vessel of your Aqua Optima jug. This is the part where you pour the water that needs filtering.
- Position the prepared Aqua Optima Evolve+ filter cartridge.
- Fit the Aqua Optima Evolve+ filter cartridge into the underside of the inner vessel.
- Rotate the cartridge clockwise to lock into place.
Ensuring a Secure Fit
It is essential that the filter is securely installed to ensure all water passes through the filter media.
- Ensure that it is firmly secured. A properly fitted cartridge will sit snugly in the inner vessel and should not be loose.
Following these steps ensures your Aqua water filter cartridge is correctly prepared and installed, ready to filter your water effectively in your Aqua Optima jug.
