Maintenance; Installing A New Carbon Filter - Lotus LWT100 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

INSTALLING A NEW CARBON-BLOCK FILTER
When the carbon-block filter nears the end of its life cycle, the status indicator light on
the control panel will begin to flash amber indicating that there are 100 more cycles
left. The indicator light will start flashing more frequently to indicate that the filter has
50 cycles left. When the filter has reached the end of its life, the light will stop flashing
amber and turn a solid amber. When this happens, you must change the filter. The
system will not process any more water until this is done.
FIGURE 1
Based upon usage and local drinking water conditions, your carbon-block filter may
require replacement more often than once a year.
Installing the filter is easy. Simply pull off the filter housing cap, (FIGURE 1) turn the
filter counterclockwise, lift and remove. Insert filter and turn clockwise to lock in place.
The arrow and lock symbol on the filter should line up with the arrow on the filter
housing. (FIGURE 2)
After installing the replacement carbon-block filter, you must reset the filter cycle
counter. Simply plug in the electric cord. Press and hold the manual dispense button,
(FIGURE 3) until the amber status indicator light goes off. This indicates that the filter
cycle counter has been reset.

When the filter needs replacement, the status indicator light will flash intermittently
between green and amber. Once the Status indicator light is solid amber, the filter must
be replaced. The solid green status indicator light will again be visible, once the filter
cycle counter has been properly reset.
Fill the Processing Carafe to the fill line and lock it into place. Make certain the lock
symbol on the processing carafe lines up with the lock symbol on the main unit. Then
press the process button. The button will illuminate green and the conditioning cycle
will begin.
FIGURE 3
Each conditioning cycle will take about 6 minutes for municipal water or approximately
21 minutes for lake or well water.*
Once the conditioning cycle is complete. The process light will go off and the manual
dispense light will turn green. This water may be manually or automatically dispensed
through the filter. (FIGURE 4)

claim is for Cyst Reduction only.

MAINTENANCE

You must replace the carbon-block filter when the status indicator
light is a solid amber. This will ensure the highest quality water
processed. The carbon-block filter is not re-usable or recyclable.
Please, condition a new carbon-block filter by running 4 cycles of
water through the system.
We recommend that you check your system periodically through the
treatment cycle to ensure that there is a wide and uniform dispersion
of bubbles. If bubbling action does not continue in the same manner
throughout the treatment cycle, unplug the system and DO NOT drink
the water. Contact us at 1-800-808-1724 or e-mail us at
