The AQUA Logic - Inline Hose 3/4 - C-Ultra is a water filter that is placed between a filling hose using quick couplings (Gardena type). This makes it very easy to treat drinking water when filling the water tank in a caravan, camper or pleasure yacht. This prevents polluted or contaminated water from entering your drinking water tank.
Unique 2in1 C-Ultra Filter Element / Cartridge
-
Activated carbon cylinder with a pore size of 1 micron.
The activated carbon consists of a 100% organic material (coconut bark) processed in small particles with a very high adsorption capacity. The activated carbon adsorbs odor, color and taste, as well as yeasts, chlorine and other chemicals.
-
Ultra membranes with a pore size of and a 0.03 micron.
Thanks to the Ultra-Membrane technology in this water filter, it filters:
Pathogenic organisms: Log 6 bacterial reduction: > 99.9999% (including Cholera, Shigella, Typhoid, Klebsiella Terrigenam, Legionella and e. Coli) and Cysts / Protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
Micro- and nanoplastics from a size of 0.03 micron (30 nanometers)
This means that this one filter element is able to produce safe and clean drinking water of high quality.
Ultra version - the best filter properties
Ultra at AQUA Logic stands for filters that are equipped with Ultra membrane filters with a pore size of only 0.03 microns. Ultra-membrane water filters are the most modern and reliable method of removing pathogenic micro-organisms from water.
Commissioning the Inline-C-Ultra water filter
- Before the filter is put into use, the expiry date must be indicated on the supplied date sticker (one year after the date of use). Do this with a waterproof marker or pen and then stick it visibly on the water filter. This is important because the filter element must be replaced after a maximum of one year (or season).
- Place the filter on or between the water supply hose using the quick couplings. Pay attention to the flow direction. If the flow direction is reversed, in combination with too strong water pressure, the Ultra membranes can be damaged.
- The filter must be vented during commissioning. Press and hold the (black) bleed button on top of the filter cover (while pressurized, closed tap) until all the air has escaped.
- With a new filter, allow the water to flow through for a short time before it is used for consumption. The filter is then ready for use.
- After use, you can disconnect the water filter and allow the remaining water in the housing to drain. You can use the red caps to close the Gardena connections.
How to store after use
We recommend adding Cosil47 water filter disinfection solution. Rinse the filter again before using it again.
Wet: store the filter element (for example in a plastic bag) in the refrigerator.
Dry: Find a suitable place to let the filter element dry without mold formation. Prevent the plastic caps from becoming heated, for example by a heater/radiator.
Maintenance of the inline filter
Depending on the degree and type of water pollution, the surface of the filter element can become clogged. This can be recognized by the decrease in the amount of outflowing water. If this is the case you can do the following:
- If applicable: Turn off the water supply and turn on the tap to relieve the water pressure from the system. Or disconnect the Water Filter from the water supply.
- Place a bowl under the filter if necessary. Open the filter housing (counter clockwise) and pull the filter element downwards to disassemble.
- Using the integrated Cleaning Pad, the filter surface of the activated carbon cylinder can be sanded clean. Then rinse the filter element with water.
- Replace the filter element and tighten the housing again, but do not do this too tightly. When closing the housing, make sure that the rubber sealing ring is properly positioned and clean.
- The filter should be bled again after maintenance by pressing and holding the bleed button until all the air has escaped. Even after each maintenance, we recommend that you do not use the first couple of litres water for consumption.
Although the filter housing is frost-resistant, it is important to drain the water filter and the system of your camping vehicle before winter storage and allow the filter elements to dry thoroughly (see also storage instructions). This prevents the risk of freezing and damage to the water filter.
Lifespan
The recommended maximum duration of use (with continuous use) is 1 year or one season. Therefore, the filter element must be replaced after every year (or every season). Periodically check the expiration date that you have written on the date sticker.
Note: The actual life of the filter element depends on the degree of contamination in the water to be treated. As long as water comes out of the filter, it is suitable drinking water because it has been filtered through the ultra membranes, provided that the water filter is used as explained in this user manual.
And last but not least
Care is important when using and maintaining this water filter, as it concerns the safety of your drinking water!
Shelf life:
unused, the filter has an almost unlimited shelf life (store in a cool, dry and dark place)
