Maintaining Your Gravity
Water System
As Needed:
The Ceramic Pre-filter filters more slowly
as contaminants are captured in its pores.
To increase its filtration speed scrub the
surface of the Ceramic Pre-filter with the
grey sponge included in the box or with
another clean abrasive sponge. Do not use
soap or detergent. Rinse under running
tap water a er scrubbing the surface. This
could be as o en as weekly, or as needed.
Note: some water sources have more
particulate so more frequent cleaning
may be required.
The Ceramic Pre-filter may change
colour over time as it filters particulate
from your source water.
Follow the instructions provided
with any replacement filters to
properly prepare them for use.

Every 4-6 Months:
When you replace your Fluoride or 5-Stage
Filter we recommend a complete wash of
the Gravity Water System. Follow these
steps: wash all plastic parts including the
tap with a so sponge and a cleaning
solution (5 mL / 1 tsp bleach to 1 L / 4 cups
water). Rinse well with tap water.
Do not use a cleaning solution for the
Ceramic Pre-filter, Fluoride Filter or
5-Stage Filter. Do not scrub plastic
parts with a coarse material like scrub
wool or steel wool.
To sanitize the Mineral Stones place them
in boiling water for one minute. Drain the
stones and lay them out on a clean towel
to cool. Place the Mineral Stones into the
Lower Tank a er the Fluoride Filter has
been conditioned.
Note: stones absorb odor. Do not use
scented towels or towels with fabric
conditioners.
In an Emergency
The Gravity Water System can be used
to make safe water in an emergency
situation like an earthquake or flood.
