4. Configuració

Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your Opti DROP system for first use:

1. Desempaquetar components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Wash all plastic components (reservoirs, lid, base) with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Assemble Spigot: Insert the spigot through the hole in the lower reservoir. Ensure the washers are correctly positioned on both sides of the reservoir wall, and secure with the nut. Do not overtighten; tighten only until snug to prevent leaks.
3. Preparació del filtre: The Opti Water Ionic Filter requires priming. Submerge the filter completely in water for 15 minutes to allow the carbon block to fully saturate. This helps remove any air trapped inside and ensures optimal filtration performance.
4. Instal·leu el filtre: Place the primed filter into the designated opening in the upper reservoir. Ensure it is seated firmly.
5. Muntar la unitat: Place the upper reservoir with the installed filter onto the lower reservoir. Then, place the entire assembly onto the base.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Using your Opti DROP system is straightforward:

1. Fill Upper Reservoir: Lift the lid and pour tap water into the upper reservoir. The system has a 3-gallon capacity.
2. Procés de filtració: Gravity will draw the water through the Ionic Filter into the lower reservoir. The filtration rate is approximately 1 gallon per hour. This slower rate is due to the use of solid activated coconut carbon, which allows for more thorough contaminant removal compared to loose granulated carbon filters.
3. Dispensar aigua: Once filtered, the alkaline water is ready for consumption. Use the spigot to dispense water as needed.
4. Mantenir el nivell d'aigua: The top reservoir is designed to always retain about 1 inch of water. This ensures the filter remains in contact with water, optimizing its performance. Do not be alarmed by this residual water.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Opti DROP system:

• Substitució del filtre: Each Opti Water Ionic Filter is designed to filter up to 200 gallons of water. Replace the filter when the filtration rate significantly slows down, or after approximately 2-3 months of regular use, whichever comes first. Filters are proudly made in the USA.
• Neteja de la unitat: Periodically disassemble the unit and wash all plastic components with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly to prevent mineral buildup and maintain hygiene. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Spigot Cleaning: Ensure the spigot is clean and free of any residue. If the flow rate from the spigot decreases, it may need cleaning or checking for blockages.

7. Solució De Problemes

Aquí teniu solucions a problemes comuns que podeu trobar:

• Slow Filtration Rate:
  • The Opti DROP system filters approximately 1 gallon per hour. This is a normal characteristic due to the dense solid activated coconut carbon filter designed for comprehensive contaminant removal.
  • If the rate becomes significantly slower than 1 gallon per hour, the filter may be nearing the end of its life or is clogged. Replace the filter.
  • Ensure the filter was properly primed by submerging it in water for 15 minutes before first use.
• Fuites d'aigua:
  • Most leaks occur at the spigot connection. Ensure the spigot is correctly assembled with washers on both sides of the reservoir wall and the nut is tightened snugly, but not excessively. Overtightening can damage the seal.
  • Check for cracks in the reservoirs. If a crack is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Water Taste/Odor Issues:
  • Ensure the initial two reservoirs of filtered water were discarded after filter installation.
  • If taste or odor persists, the filter may be exhausted. Replace the filter.
  • Netegeu a fons tota la unitat.
• Top Reservoir Always Has Water:
  • This is by design. The top reservoir is engineered to maintain about 1 inch of water to keep the filter continuously saturated and optimize its performance. This is not a malfunction.
