Powered by Seychelle Water Filtration Alkaline Filters can be used interchangeably with the Advanced Water Pitcher. ✅ Alkaline filters enhance water up to 9.5 pH - Alkaline Filters decrease water micro clusters from 12 molecules down to 4-6. Alkaline water is more quickly and is easily absorbed by cells. Benefits of Alkalinized water: Provides detoxification, flushes toxins, reduces cellular and DNA damage caused by free radicals, prevents rapid aging. Enables hydration at the cellular level Water remains alkaline in pitcher for over 90 days. INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE: Each Filter MUST be flushed before use with the red flushing bulb. Simply screw the red flushing bulb onto the filter and hold under faucet then slowly turn on faucet until water starts to flush through the filter for a at least 3 minutes. Flush the filters in order to get any loose carbon dust rinsed off. This also activates the filters. You should also keep the flushing bulb for future use, if the flow rate slows way down, you can try flushing the filters again to speed up the flow rate. If this does not help, then it is most likely time to replace the filters. HOW OUR FILTERS WORK Water Pitch is Powered by our Manufacturer Seychelle Water Filtration; a leader in the water filtration industry for over 40 years. Our filters are infused with both the finest-granulated activated coconut carbon exclusive adsorbing media. It has a uniform 2-micron pore size for the assured reduction and removal of all five areas of contamination. The controlled 2-micron filter contains thousands of interconnected omni-directional pores that result in a "tortuous path" for superior analyte reduction. By forcing the source water through the filter, contaminants and pollutants are removed, while beneficial trace minerals remain. Each product is designed to guarantee the greatest amount of reduction per contaminant. FILTER BENEFITS: The pH filter not only cause the water to become Alkaline but is also tested to remove up to 99.99% of the following harmful water contaminants: Aesthetic – unpleasant taste and odors, cloudiness, silt, sediment, chlorine Chemicals – toxic chemicals (VOCs), trihalomethanes, PCBs, PCEs, detergents, and pesticides. Dissolved Solids – heavy metals including: Lead, aluminum, cadmium, chromium 6, copper, arsenic, mercury, and up to 90% of fluoride. Radiological – gross beta, radon 222, alpha radium 226, uranium, plutonium, cesium 134 and cesium 137. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS I have the two-filter model, and the filters are extremely slow sometimes, what is the problem? The filters need to be flushed properly. If it doesn't fit well, try using an outside spigot to flush them. You will need to have good pressure flushing the filters well. The media inside the filters need to be completely saturated before they will work correctly. Sometimes it takes a few times flushing and using to get them flowing correctly. You may have to flush them periodically sometimes but not all the time. What is the Filtering Capacity: 200 gallons How often do filters need replacing on average? They need to be replaced every 4 to 6 months (we suggest joining our Replacement Filter Subscription) Does this filter remove the sodium? No, our filters do not remove sodium. PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR IN-SALT WATER OR OCEAN WATER.
