Why Drink Water?

  • Because your body needs it! Water is beneficial and vital to all life. Sixty percent of your body is water, and water is the second-most important element for it to function properly, aside from oxygen.
  • Water helps transport nutrients through the entire body; it also helps regulate body temperature, helps aid in digestion and helps remove toxins and waste.
  • Staying hydrated helps keep you mentally alert and feeling energized throughout your day.
  • 

Filtering Your Water Helps Reduce:

  • Unpleasant odor and taste that can affect favorite beverages like water, tea and coffee
  • Impurities such as chlorine, copper, cadmium, mercury and lead
  • Heavy metals that can corrode machines
  • Limescale, which can cause a chalky deposit or film on surfaces, including tea and coffee machines

What Does Magnesium Do for the Body?

  • It helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
  • It helps in tissue formation and in the maintenance of proper muscle function.
  • It helps in the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth.

Drinking Water Is Filtered in 4 Stages:

  • Stage 1: Particle filtration
    Helps ensures clear water that is free of particles.
  • Stage 2: Ion exchange
    The filter contains magnesium-coated resin beads that help reduce limescale, copper, cadmium, lead, mercury and other heavy metals by 95% via an ion exchange process. As water passes through the filter,calcium and other impurities are attracted to the resin beads in the filter and stick to them. Magnesium is then released out into the water.
  • Stage 3: Activated carbon
    In stage 3, water passes through a coconut-based, granular activated carbon, reducing chlorine by up to 90%.
  • Stage 4: Final Filtration
    Water passes through a fine mesh filter, ensuring the best-tasting water for you and your family.

How to Use

  • Follow the detailed instructions included with your Norwex Water Filtration System.
    Replace filters every four weeks or when the digital indicator indicates it’s time (approximately 100 fillings).
  • Filters should be kept in the sealed Norwex bag and stored in a cool, dry place until you are ready to use them. The shelf life of an unused, packaged  filter is indefinite.
  • Clean the pitcher and funnel of the Norwex Water Filtration System using Norwex Dishwashing Liquid. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scrubbing sponges, which may leave scratch marks. The pitcher and funnel are dishwasher-safe. Do not wash the lid in the dishwasher or submerge it in water. To clean the lid, wipe it with a damp EnviroCloth™, keeping the  filter indicator dry.
  • Water can be stored in the water pitcher for 24 hours. Discarded water can be used to water your plants!

How Do I Prepare and Change the Filter in My Norwex Pitcher?

To achieve the best possible filtration performance, rinse the filter with water for 15 seconds. Submerge it in water and let it soak for 5 to 15 minutes. Discard the water, then insert the new filter cartridge into the funnel by pressing it lightly into place. Fill the pitcher with water. It is not necessary to remove the lid as you manually open and close it by sliding the lever back and pushing it forward. Discard the  first filtered water filling and refill the Norwex Pitcher.

How Do I Reset the Digital Indicator on My Norwex Water Filtration System?

After the filter is in place and water is in the pitcher, press the button for five seconds. The indicator automatically adjusts to 100, and the filter is now ready. It will count down from 100 fillings to 0. The counter will change each time you close the opening in the lid. Replace the filter at 0 fillings.
