Installation

You can easily assemble the British Berkefeld Water Filter 6L in a few minutes, without tools. Make sure you thoroughly clean the containers, lid and tap (CAUTION! NOT the filter elements) beforehand with warm water and detergent (preferably a mild and natural detergent). Rinse these parts well to avoid soap residue. Only briefly rinse the filter elements under a cold tap to remove the production dust. Then place the filter elements in the upper container and fill the upper container with water. Let the water run through, the filter speed will increase as the filter elements slowly fill with water. Still throw away the first running water (or give to the plants). Then you are ready to use!

Maintenance tips

You can simply clean the containers, lid and tap of the British Berkefeld water filter with warm water with detergent (preferred: mild and natural detergent). Make sure you clean everything thoroughly (focus also on the edges) and rinse well, so that no soap residue remains. Depending on which water is being purified, you can vary from weekly to monthly cleaning.
The Ultra Sterasyl (ATC) filter elements or Ultra Fluoride filter elements are best cleaned once a month with an abrasive sponge under running cold water. This will remove the layer of deposits created by the substances removed from the water and the filter elements will flow better again. Again: depending on which water is being purified, you may be able to clean more often than once a month.
