AQUA Logic - Inline 3/8 - C-Ultra - 0.03mcr - 5 INCH - Gen2 - (built-in water filter)

The AQUA Logic Inline 3/8 - C-Ultra drinking water filter can be installed between an existing water pressure system, just before a tap. 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 or submersible pump.

Unique 2in1 C-Ultra Filter Element / Cartridge

1. 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.

2. 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 (300 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.

Mounting the Inline 3/8 -C-Ultra water filter

• Place this water filter just before or as close as possible to the tap which you would like to use for your drinking water.
• To connect the filter, the supplied 3/8 inch hose tails with o-rings must be screwed into the cover. The supply hose or water pipe to the existing tap can be cut, after which the filter is placed between this supply hose or water pipe (if necessary with a hose clamp). Pay attention to the current direction (IN/OUT).
• The filter can be mounted on the side or rear wall of the (flush) cabinet using the supplied wall bracket. Please note that there must be at least 10 cm of clearance under the system to allow unscrewing of the bowl and filter cartridge. The filter can be easily removed for maintenance via the lock holes in the wall bracket.

Commissioning the Inline-C-Ultra water filter

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.

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:

1. Turn off the water supply and turn on the tap to relieve the water pressure from the system.
2. Place a bowl under the filter if necessary. Unscrew the filter housing and filter element (counter clockwise).
3. Using the integrated Cleaning Pad, the filter surface of the activated carbon cylinder can be sanded clean. Then rinse the filter element with water.
4. Retighten the filter element and housing but do not overtighten. When closing the housing, make sure that the rubber sealing ring is correctly positioned and clean.
5. 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 itself is frost resistant, it is recommended to drain the filter and water system of your caravan, motorhome or boat before winter storage as some parts in the water system can be damaged by freezing!

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.

How to store after use

Wet (shorter periods): store the filter element in a plastic bag (e.g. ziplock) in the refrigerator. We recommend adding Cosil47 water filter disinfection solution. Rinse the filter one more time before using it again.
Dry: find a suitable place to let the filter element dry without mold formation. But prevent the plastic caps from getting heated by, for example, a heater/radiator.
