How To Assemble A Doulton® Gravity Water Filter | Doulton® Water Filters

A Doulton® Gravity Filter is a drinking water filter system that can be used on the go where you may have an unreliable water source. Follow the steps in our guide to discover how to assemble a Doulton® Gravity Water Filter:
Installing your stainless-steel gravity-fed filter system:
1. Remove the filter and elements from their protective packaging checking each item against the diagram on the instruction leaflet.
2. Separate the filter components and remove the protective packaging. Be mindful that there are additional components at the end of the elements packaging.
3. Fit the knob onto the lid by inserting the screw through the hole in the lid and screwing the knob. Note, you must hand tighten only.
4. Place the sealing washer over the threaded part of the element and place the elements into the hole.
5. In the base of your top section, secure the element in place by screwing the wing nuts onto the nozzle part of the element. If you wish to use more than two elements in your water filter remove the blind rubber grommet and insert the additional elements as you have the previous two.
6. Take the tap and place one washer onto the threaded part of the outlet tap.
7. Insert the thread through the hole in the side of the bottom section. Place the second washer over the thread and secure the tap in place with the nut.
8. To achieve a tighter seal, hold the outlet tab until the nut is hand tight then hold the nut and tighten the assembly by rotating the tap body through at least a quarter turn to reach the upright position.
9. Check that the outer ceiling washer is sealed tight against the surface of the bottom section.
10. Put the top section onto the bottom section and place the lid in position.
11. Ensure that the outlet tap is in the 'OFF' position and remove the lid.
12. Fill the filter's top section with water and replace the lid. We recommend that the first supply of filtered water is thrown away as it may contain loose material washed from the filter elements.
How often should you replace a Doulton® ceramic water filter?
Due to the filtration of particulate contaminants from the water during use, the flow of the water from a filter may deteriorate over time and the filter cartridge will need to be replaced to restore optimum performance.
In most cases, a filter cartridge should be replaced after 6 months of daily use.
