The AQUA Logic Inline XL 3/4 - Ultra Washable - 0.01 mcr - 10 INCH drinking water filter. Easily installed between existing water pressure systems, it ensures clean, safe drinking water for your entire household. Its ample capacity guarantees a steady water supply. Plus, the reusable Ultra Membranes can be washed to maintain peak performance, ensuring longevity and efficiency.
Filter Element / Cartridge
Ultra membranes with a pore size of 0.01 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 0.01 micron (100 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 0.01 microns. Ultra-membrane water filters are the most modern and reliable method of removing pathogenic micro-organisms from water.
Mounting the Inline XXL 3/8 - Water Filter
• Ensure that you purchase the necessary connection materials, such as flexible hoses, separately for proper connection of the filter to the water supply. It is recommended to install a shut-off valve before the water filter.
• Screw the included 3/4 inch nipples into the filter housing lid.
Note: The filter housing already contains sealing rings, so no O-ring or Teflon tape is required for the nipples.
• Ensure the water flow is in the correct direction (IN/OUT).
• Use the included wall bracket to mount the system.
Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space below the system, so the filter bowls and cartridges can be easily unscrewed.
Commissioning
• Fill in the recommended replacement date of the filter on the provided date sticker.
Place the date sticker clearly visible on the water filter.
The recommended lifespan for daily use is approximately 2 years.
Note: The actual lifespan of the filter element depends on the level of contamination in the water being treated. As long as water is flowing through the filter, it is suitable for drinking because it has been filtered through the ultrafiltration membranes, provided the water filter is used as outlined in this user manual.
• Upon initial use, the filter must be vented. Press and hold the (black) vent button on top of the filter lid (while the system is pressurized, with the valve closed) until all air is released.
• Flush a new filter element with 3 to 4 liters of water before using. After this, the filtered water is suitable for consumption.
How to wash the PVDF Ultra Membranes
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 to wash the ultra membranes:
- Turn off the water supply and turn on the tap to relieve the water pressure from the system.
- Place a container under the filter to catch any water that flows out when the drain valve at the bottom of the housing and then the filter housing are opened. Turn the blue plastic ring counterclockwise to open the filter housing.
- Take the filter cartridge and open it by pulling off the colored parts while twisting.
- Rinse the membranes with water. Use your hands to wash the membranes between your hands, using back and forth motions as you rinse them.
- 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.
It is also possible to backwash the filter by opening the drain valve at the bottom of the housing. You can optionally install a 1/8” ball valve here.
Although the filter housing is frost-resistant, it is important to drain the water filter and the system 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 2 years. Therefore, the filter element must be replaced after 2 years. 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.
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.
And last but not least
Care is important when using and maintaining this water filter, as it concerns the safety of your drinking water!
