ZIP WATER PURIFIER USER GUIDE
CHANGING WATER IN THE SUPPLY RESERVOIR
After completing a filter cycle, completely empty the supply reservoir and refill with fresh water before
starting another cycle. The water remaining in the supply reservoir after a filtration cycle has a higher
concentration of TDS so starting a new cycle by adding fresh water to this remaining concentrate wa-
ter will lower system performance and can damage the RO membranes and filters.
FILTER INITIALISATION
When the purifier is being used for the first time, the filters should be rinsed by running the purifier for
two cycles, and discarding the water. Water from the first cycle may contain fine carbon sediment form
the post filter which may give the water a slight grey colour. This carbon is food grade and healthy,
and will not affect the quality of the water. After filtering two cycles, the pure water reservoir may be
removed from the purifier and rinsed with tap water. (See page 15)
With the filters rinsed, the purifier may now be used for pure water filtration.
USE AFTER LONG PERIODS WITHOUT PURIFYING WATER
Zip is designed for daily use. When the user goes away for a long time, follow the steps for cleaning
the system, as detailed on page 10.
If you plan to not use the system for less than one week, completely empty both tanks and disconnect
the power supply.
On return, connect the system to the electricity supply, fill the lower tank until the MAX marker and
puash the button or turn the control dial to 1 (depending on the model you have).
For longer periods of inoperation, ensure the system is fully sanitised before use again (page 10).
DO NOT STORE WATER IN THE PURIFIER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME EXCEEDING
ONE WEEK
