Washing the filters

  • Wash both filters in cold water only (please do not use detergent, do not wash in a dishwasher or washing machine).
  • Repeat the steps shown below until the water runs clear.
  • Filter B should be rinsed and tapped out until the water runs clear, then tapped out again to ensure all excess water is removed. This will normally require up to 10 rinses.
