The AQUA Logic Inline 3/8 - C-Ultra drinking water filter can be installed between an existing water pressure system. Often at home in the sink cabinet. The filter has a very low pressure drop, making it very suitable for pleasure yachts, campers and caravans, which are often equipped with simple pressure pumps.
Filter characteristics 2-in-1 C-Ultra Filterelement
The AQUA Logic Inline C-Ultra drinking water filter operates using water pressure: it is installed directly between the water pipes of an existing pressurized water system. The filter improves the taste and quality of drinking water and is ideal for use in homes, caravans, motorhomes, and pleasure yachts.
1. Activated Carbon cylinder with a pore size of 1 micron
The activated carbon is made from 100% organic material (coconut shell) and has a very high adsorption capacity for odours, colour, taste, metals such as lead, as well as yeasts, chlorine, pharmaceutical residues, and other chemicals.
2. Ultrafiltration membranes with a pore size of 0.01–0.03 microns
Ultrafiltration membrames providing effective filtration against:
- Pathogenic organisms: Bacterial reduction of >99.9999% (including Cholera, Shigella, Typhus, Klebsiella terrigena, Legionella, and E. coli)
- Cysts/Protozoa: (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
- Micro- and Nano-plastics: Removes particles as small as 0.03 microns (30 nanometers)
All parts are BPA-Free. The filter works without the addition of chemicals and is made up of maintenance-free and corrosion-free parts.
How to use
1. Connecting the Filter
Screw the supplied 3/8 inch hose pillars (or 3/8 inch nipples for the 10 inch version) with the O-rings in place into the lid. This allows the filter to be installed between the cold water supply line. Pay attention to the flow direction (IN/OUT).
Note: The 3/8 inch hose pillars are intended for use with a flexible water hose (if needed, secured with a hose clamp), as commonly found in recreational vehicles. For connection to a fixed water supply line, the 3/8 inch nipples should be used in combination with 3/8 inch braided hoses.
2. Monteren van het filtersysteem
Met behulp van de meegeleverde wandbeugel kan het filtersysteem worden gemonteerd. Denk eraan dat er ongeveer 10 cm ruimte onder het systeem dient te zijn om de kom en filterelement los te kunnen draaien.
3. Marking the Filter First Use Date
Use the supplied date sticker to note the date of first use. Stick it visibly on the filter housing. The adviced service life is 1 year; the actual lifespan of the filter element may vary depending on the degree of contamination in the source water. As long as water continues to flow through the filter, it is safe to drink, even if the flow rate decreases.
4. Deflate the Filter
Before use, the filter must be deflated. Press and hold the (black) vent button on top of the filter lid (while the system is pressurized and the tap is closed) until all air has escaped.
Tip: Hold a cloth near the vent valve to catch any water that may be released.
5. First Use
It is recommended to not use the first batch of filtered water (ca. 5 liter) for consumption. After that, the filter is ready to provide clean and safe drinking water.
Maintenance
When the flow rate decreases, the filter element can be easily cleaned:
Relieve System Pressure
Turn off the water supply and turn on the tap to release pressure from the system.
Disassemble the Filter
Place a bowl or towel under the filter. Turn the filter housing counterclockwise to open. Pull the filter element out of the housing using a twisting motion.
Cleaning the Filter Element
- Using the integrated Cleaning Pad, the filter surface can be firmly sanded clean (see image beside).
- Rinse the actived carbon surface. Make sure only clean water touches the water outlet. As a precaution, do not use the first liter of filtered water for consumption.
Reassemble the Filter
Push the filter element back into the lid of the housing using a twisting motion and tighten the bowl; do not overtighten – hand-tight is sufficient. Ensure the rubber sealing ring is clean and properly positioned.
Deflate the System
Press and hold the (black) vent button on top of the filter lid (while the system is pressurized and the tap is closed) until all air has escaped.
Tip: Hold a cloth near the vent valve to catch any water that may be released.
Storage During Extended Absence
Wet Storage: Store the filter element in a sealed container or bag in the refrigerator.
Dry Storage: Let the filter air dry and store it in a clean place. Drying near a heat source, such as a radiator or in sunlight, is recommended — but avoid direct contact between the heat source and the plastic parts, as this may cause damage.
Note: Although the filter housing itself is frost resistant, it is important to drain the filter and water system if not in use during winter months to avoid freezing.
Shelf life and Life Span
Unused, the filter has an almost unlimited shelf life (store in a cool, dry and dark place). The adviced service life is 1 year; the actual lifespan of the filter element may vary depending on the degree of contamination in the source water. As long as water continues to flow through the filter, it is safe to drink, even if the flow rate decreases.
