FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What type of water filter is this?
A: It is a non-electric gravity-based stainless steel water filter that uses replaceable filter candles.
Q: Does it require electricity?
A: No. Water passes through the fitted filter candles by gravity, making it suitable for locations where a non-electric filtration system is preferred.
Q: What is included with the unit?
A: The set includes the stainless steel upper and lower chambers, lid, dispensing tap and filter candles as supplied with the model.
Q: How does it work?
A: Water is poured into the upper chamber, passes through the installed filter candles and collects in the lower chamber for dispensing through the tap.
Q: Where can it be used?
A: It is suitable for homes, offices, shops, hostels and other places requiring a simple gravity-fed water filtration setup. Q: How should it be cleaned?
A: Clean the stainless steel chambers regularly with mild soap and water. Follow the filter candle manufacturer’s cleaning and replacement instructions separately.

Choosing Between the 24L and 34L Water Filter
Choosing the right stainless steel water filter depends mainly on your household size, daily water requirement and available installation space.
The 24 litre model is a practical option for regular household requirements and locations with moderate daily water consumption.
The 34 litre model provides additional storage capacity and can be more convenient for larger families, offices, shared accommodation or places where filtered water is required more frequently throughout the day.
When selecting a capacity, also consider how often you want to refill the upper chamber rather than choosing only according to the overall size of the unit.
How a Gravity Water Filter Works
Unlike an electric purifier, a gravity water filter does not use a pump or electrical connection to move water through the filtration system.
Water placed in the upper chamber gradually passes through the installed filter candles and collects in the lower chamber.
This straightforward operating principle can be useful in locations where:
- An electrical connection is inconvenient
- A simple countertop filtration system is preferred
- Additional water-storage capacity is required
- A gravity-fed system suits the available setup
- Easy dispensing through a tap is useful
The actual filtration performance depends on the type and condition of the filter candles installed.
Understanding the Filter Candles
The filter candles are the working filtration elements of the system.
Their filtration capability, service life and replacement schedule depend on the specifications of the particular candles being used, as well as the incoming water quality and frequency of use.
For continued performance:
- Use compatible filtration candles
- Install them correctly before filling the unit
- Inspect them periodically
- Follow the candle manufacturer's maintenance instructions
- Replace the candles according to their recommended service interval
The stainless steel body itself provides the filtration and storage arrangement; the filter candles determine the filtration characteristics.
Who Is This Water Filter Suitable For?
This model can be considered by customers looking for a large-capacity non-electric water filter for locations such as:
- Family homes
- Apartments
- Offices
- Shops
- Workplaces
- Hostels and shared accommodation
- Community or common-use areas
Its larger capacities can also be useful where several people need access to stored water throughout the day.
Stainless Steel Body vs Plastic Gravity Filters
For buyers comparing gravity-filter systems, stainless steel offers a different construction from conventional plastic storage units.
A stainless steel body provides:
- A reusable metal storage system
- A polished kitchen-friendly appearance
- Separate upper filtration and lower storage chambers
- Easy access to the internal chambers
- A durable vessel format for repeated everyday use
The best choice ultimately depends on your required capacity, available space, filtration-element preference and budget.
Before Setting Up the Water Filter
Before first use:
- Place the unit on a flat and stable surface.
- Confirm that the dispensing tap is fitted securely.
- Install the compatible filter candles according to their instructions.
- Ensure the upper chamber is seated correctly above the storage chamber.
- Check that the lid fits properly.
- Follow any initial preparation or flushing instructions supplied with the filter candles.
Once assembled correctly, water can be added to the upper chamber and allowed to pass through the filtration elements naturally.
Important Water-Quality Consideration
A gravity filter should be selected according to the quality of your incoming water and the performance specifications of the installed filter candles.
Different filtration candles are designed for different filtration requirements. Do not assume that every candle removes every type of contaminant.
If your source water has known microbiological, chemical or other contamination concerns, select filtration media that is specifically rated for those conditions or use an appropriate water-treatment system.
Why Choose a Larger-Capacity Gravity Filter?
A larger water filter can reduce the need for frequent refilling, particularly in households and shared locations where drinking water is used throughout the day.
The separate filtration and storage chambers also allow the lower section to hold water while another batch is gradually passing through the filtration candles above.
For customers comparing capacities, choose the model that provides sufficient daily storage without becoming unnecessarily large for your available counter or stand space.
