Replacing the Water Filter
Process of Purification
- Drinking water
Step 1 a
Out sediment filter with anti scalant module
Remove big particles, rust stains, mud etc. and reduce input water hardness to enhance filter life.
Step 2 b
Sedi + carbon filter
Remove unseen dregs and other contamination. Remove invisible fine particles, residual chlorine, VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) etc.
Step 3 c
RO recovery plus filter
Remove dissolved impurities, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, VOC etc. from water.
TDS reduction up to 90% ppm of source water.
Step 4 d
Mineral booster filter
Remove odour, add minerals in the purified water without mixing impure water.
- Cleaning water for fruits and vegetables
Step 1 a
Out sediment filter with anti scalant module
Remove big particles, rust stains, mud etc. and reduce input water hardness to enhance filter life.
Step 2 b
UF membrane filter
Remove only bacteria and fine particle substance.
Do not use water drained from the product for drinking or cooking.
Use the water instead for cleaning the bathroom and house, gardening or for other various purposes.
Activated carbon inside the filter may sometimes flow in the storage tank. If so, a fine powder of activated carbon used in the post-carbon filter has come out, and it is harmless to the human body. If found, drain out the water from tank completely.
Filter Replacement Period
The filter replacement period refers to the period that the purification performance of the filter is maintained. And the replacement period is lesser in the case of a place with poor water quality or a large purification amount.
Filter name | Recommended purification amount (in litres)*1 |
|---|---|
Out sediment filter + Anti scalant module | 3000 6000 |
Sedi + carbon filter | 6000 |
RO recovery plus filter | 6000 |
Mineral booster filter | 6000 |
UF membrane filter | 6000 |
This is as per LGEIL standard.
Filter replacement and /or AMC request can only be placed via calling LG customer care (refer last page).
Warranty shall be void in case of use of counterfeit (duplicate) filters or replacement of filters from unauthorized sources.
Using counterfeit filters or procuring filters from unauthorized sources may negatively impact or degrade product performance and product life. It may not be safe drinking water and may also impact user's health.
LG shall not be responsible for any damage arising directly or indirectly out of any defect being noticed in the product due to usage of such counterfeit filters.
Out sediment filter may get choked in abnormal turbidity (sand and mud) condition, it is suggested to switch ON water purifier after 1-2 hour of overhead tank filling so that sand/mud will get settled. Out sediment filter should be cleaned regularly to prevent choking in above condition for better performance. Life of filter may get affected by high turbidity and hardness of water.
If you wish to replace the filter, contact LG electronics customer care.
After replacing the filter, check if there is a leak from the product.
After installation, discharge water for the first time when water tank is full. Same process is to be followed after every filter change or digital sterilization. Approximate time taken to fill the tank to the fullest is 1 hour, depending on water pressure, temperature etc.
For RO recovery plus filter, 2 50% of supplied water (based on the tap water pressure of 1.5 kgf/cm2 (0.15 MPa), up to 2000 mg/L TDS at water temperature of 25 7) will be purified and remainder will be drained.
No chemical preservatives used in membrane.
