Regular cleaning and timely replacement are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your filter candles.

• Garbiketa: We recommend gently buffing the ceramic filter candle with a scouring pad under running water until the whiteness of the ceramic returns. Rubber gloves are recommended during cleaning. Never use soap or detergents, as these can clog the filter pores. Ensure that the end of the plastic mount does not come into contact with unfiltered water during cleaning.
• Ordezkoa: Filter candles should be replaced periodically, typically every 6 months, depending on water quality and usage, or when the flow rate significantly decreases after cleaning.

• Slow Filtration Rate:
  • If the flow rate is slow immediately after installation, ensure the filters have been properly primed by discarding the first two batches of filtered water.
  • If the flow rate decreases over time, the filter candles may be clogged with sediment. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for cleaning instructions.
• Zapore edo usain desatsegina:
  • Ensure the filters are correctly installed and sealed.
  • If the taste or odor persists after cleaning, the filters may have reached the end of their service life and require replacement.
• Recycling Old Filters: You can recycle the plastic mount and compost the old filter element. Alternatively, use the old filter element for drainage in the bottom of plant pots. To dispose of the ceramic, safely remove the mount, then cover the ceramic with an old rag and gently break it into small pieces using light pressure with a hammer.
