Once prepared for use in accordance with the owners’ manual, the filter jug purifies water poured into the funnel by running it through the filter under the force of gravity. The filter cartridge irreversibly traps contaminants or excessive minerals in water, combining various filtration methods.
The jug is equipped with a mechanical filter life counter that will remind you to change the filter in a timely manner. In case your water has high mechanical contamination the filter may require earlier replacement.
