Installation

The British Berkefeld 6L Water Filter can be easily assembled in a matter of minutes, without the need for tools. Make sure you give the containers, lid and tap (PLEASE NOTE: NOT the filter elements) a thorough clean beforehand using warm water and washing-up liquid (preferably a mild, natural one). Rinse these parts thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains. Simply rinse the filter cartridges briefly under a cold tap to remove any manufacturing residue. Then place the filter cartridges in the top container and fill it with water. Let the water run through; the filtration rate will increase as the filter elements slowly fill with water. Discard the first run-through water (or use it to water your plants). You’re then ready to use the system!
 

Maintenance tips

You can simply clean the containers, lid and tap of the British Berkefeld water filter using warm water and washing-up liquid (preferably a mild, natural one). Make sure you clean everything thoroughly (paying particular attention to the edges) and rinse it well, so that no soap residue remains. Depending on the type of water being filtered, you can clean it anywhere from once a week to once a month.
The Ultra Sterasyl (formerly ATC Super Sterasyl) filter elements or Ultra Fluoride filter elements It is best to clean it once a month using a scouring pad under cold running water. This will remove the layer of build-up caused by the substances that have been removed from the water, allowing water to flow through the filter elements more freely again. Again, depending on the type of water being purified, you may need to clean it more often than once a month.
