1. Wash the inside of the water fill tank (E), the supply tank cover (F) and the inside of the water supply tank (G) with water and a mild detergent or soap.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a scrubber sponge or dry with paper towels. Rinse both tanks very thoroughly. Do not wet the battery compartment when washing.

• Place the supply tank on the base (H).
• Remove mineral stones from package, rinse thoroughly and place inside the supply tank.

IMPORTANT: Do not put mineral stones in the circular recess located in the center of the supply tank. This space is required for inserting the filter column.

The water tap (I) is provided fully assembled and attached to the tank.

2. Place the supply tank cover (F) on the water supply tank (G). Place water fill tank (E) on top of this cover.

3. Remove packaging from filter assembly (B, C, D). Pull off the top cap (B) of filter assembly and set aside. Remove all 5 pre-filter pads (C).

4. Place the filter cartridge upright in an empty pot or pail, with the top of the cartridge upward. Slowly fill the pail with cold water.

For PiMag Waterfall Troubleshooting with filters, please see below for common issues.

IMPORTANT: Do not use hot water. Do not use soap or detergent to clean the cartridge.

• Continue filling until the level of the water is just below the top of the cartridge.
• Do not overfill.
• Do not allow the water level to cover the top of the filter cartridge.
• Place the five pre-filter pads inside the pail.
• Allow all the pads and the cylinder to soak at least 8 hours.
• If the level of water in the pail drops, refill as necessary. For best results, exercise care to avoid submerging the top of the filter cartridge (this will trap air inside and may result in slower filter rate). For more tips on PiMag Waterfall Troubleshooting, see below.

5. After soaking is complete, reassemble the filter cartridge, 5 pre-filter pads and top cap. Install the assembled filter in the Waterfall unit.

6. Remove the cover (A) from the top of the Waterfall tank and fill the unit with cold water. Pull outward on the water tap lever to lift until it locks in the open position, for draining.

• Fill and drain the unit while the tap is open, for two full cycles

Keep the PiMagWaterfall® Gravity Water System away from direct sunlight.

Hand wash the water tanks periodically (approximately once a month) to keep them clean and free of deposits. You may use a mild detergent or soap.

When cleaning the unit, do not use a scrubber or paper towels, which may result in scratches on the surface. Use a soft cloth to dry.

The 5 pre-filter pads may be rinsed or flushed if it becomes discolored or water flow is reduced. Use cold water only.

Do not boil the filter cartridge. Clean only by rinsing in cold water.

The replacement filter must be prepared by soaking (preferably for 8 hours) before installation. Follow steps 3 through 5 as described in the Assembly Instructions above.

After changing the filter (and pre-filter pads), reassemble the Waterfall. Fill the unit with cold water.

• After the water has filled the supply (lower) tank, pull outward on the water tap lever to lift until it locks in the open position, to drain the Waterfall. Fill and drain the unit while the tap is open, for two full cycles.

Filter cartridge life will vary, depending on amount of use and water quality – usually every 3 months.

Recommended replacement for mineral stones at least once per year.
