CERAMIC FILTER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

The flow rate of the ceramic filter can be easily renewed by simply brushing its outer surface with a soft toothbrush or soft Scotch-Brite® pad under running water. As the top layer of ceramic and the contaminants are brushed off and flushed away, a new layer becomes available. This process can be repeated over and over before the ceramic material is exhausted.
1. Carefully remove the ceramic filter from the upper chamber.
2. Using a soft toothbrush or soft scouring pad (3M Scotch-Brite® or similar), scrub the filter under running water or in a bowl of water. Always brush away from threaded mount, taking care not to contaminate the mount. Never use soap or detergents.
3. Replace the filter in the upper chamber. Be sure that sealing washer is properly seated by turning nut until tight.

Note: Rubber gloves are suggested.
