Congratulations on your purchase of the lotus® Water Treatment System. Your lotus® system utilizes the same ozone technology employed by bottled water companies to kill up to 99.99% of bacteria like E. coli 0157:H7 that can sometimes seep into your drinking water supply. Perhaps you have had concerns about impurities, pathogens and the like finding there way into your family’s drinking water or have been worried that the water filter you use cannot adequately deal with microbiological pathogens.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM UNPACKING YOUR UNIT: These are the components you will find as you unpack your Water Treatment System. PROCESSING CARAFE: Unit with Processing Carafe Carbon-Block Filter Clean Water Carafe Most obvious is the unit itself, with the Processing Carafe resting on top of the base. There is also a pre-filter screen sitting on top of the Processing Carafe. The carbon block filter is a long white cylindrical shape with 2 red plugs at either end.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM THE CONTROL PANEL: This is the interactive information center of your Water Treatment System. (FIGURE 4) C A FIGURE 4 B A. PROCESS Button B. MANUAL DISPENSE Button C. STATUS INDICATOR Light A. PROCESS Button: Pushing this button starts the ozonation process. The green light indicates that the process has begun. You should see a uniform dispersion of bubbles in the Processing Carafe. When the light goes off the process is complete. (FIGURE 5). B.
GETTING STARTED 4 Easy steps: Step 1: Installing the Carbon-Block Filter First, remove the carbon-block filter from the plastic bag and remove the red cap and plug found at either end. FIGURE 1 Next, lift off the filter housing cap. It is a fitted cap and should come off with a gentle pull. (FIGURE 1) Insert filter and turn clockwise to lockin place. The arrow and lock symbol on the filter should line up with the arrow on the filter housing.
GETTING STARTED To change from municipal water to the lake or well water* mode follow the instructions below: FIGURE 5 1. 2. The unit must be plugged in and not running. 3. Press the process button twice. On the second press, hold until the status indicator light stays green (FIGURE 6). To indicate the program change is complete, the status indicator light will flash amber once. Press and hold the process button (approx. 3 sec.) until the status indicator light flashes green (FIGURE 5), then release.
OPERATING YOUR WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM Ready to make some of the cleanest, safest water you’ve ever tasted? Fill your Processing Carafe with water to the fill line. (FIGURE 1) Return it to the base unit, (FIGURE 2) and lock into place. Push the process button and it will light up green. FIGURE 1 Make certain the lock symbol on the processing carafe lines up with the lock symbol on the main unit. Right now you should be noticing bubbles in the Processing Carafe.
MAINTENANCE INSTALLING A NEW CARBON-BLOCK FILTER When the carbon-block filter nears the end of its life cycle, the status indicator light on the control panel will begin to flash amber indicating that there are 100 more cycles left. The indicator light will start flashing more frequently to indicate that the filter has 50 cycles left. When the filter has reached the end of its life, the light will stop flashing amber and turn a solid amber. When this happens, you must change the filter.
MAINTENANCE During the conditioning process, any loose carbon dust is removed from the carbon-block filter. This is a normal characteristic of carbonblock filters and you will only see this happen during this process. Do not drink this water. Discard it or use it to water your house plants. Repeat the conditioning process 3 more times using more fresh water with each cycle. After 4 cycles, wash out your clean water carafe. With a mild detergent.
MAINTENANCE HANDLING: When moving or transporting your water processor, make sure the Processing Carafe is locked in place. DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTER and keep the unit in an upright position at all times. If the unit is not used for a long period of time, the carbon-filter block should be discarded and a new one must be installed. See “Installing a New Carbon Filter” page 8-9. We recommend that the unit be stored in a dry and clean place at room temperature. Do not allow the unit to freeze.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What types of water can be used? The system is recommended for use with visually clear water (not colored, cloudy or turbid water). The system is not intended for the treatment of water which has an obvious contamination source (such as raw sewage), nor is the system intended to convert wastewater into microbiologically safe water. * How do I know when the carbon-block filter needs to be changed? The status indicator light will begin to flash amber.
