Quality water filters and water coolers
Depending on the quality of water being filtered and the frequency of use, as a general guide, based on regular city tap water, one would get about 450-500 liters of filtered water per filter. If 1-2 people are using the cooler, we recommend a new filter every 3 months. For 3 or more people we recommend a new filter every 1-2 months.
The indoor series unit is designed for indoor use, using regular tap water. There is however no problem using it on a covered patio or similar outdoor environment. The outdoor series is suitable for any outdoor use and the outdoor filter will filter water from a river or stream as long as you can see at least one foot beneath the water surface.
Each filter is able to purify approximately 450-500 liters of water. This would translate to a cost of about 11 cents per liter. This is approximately a 90% saving as compared to bottled water.
The Little Luxury cooler is only 500mm high and 170mm wide making it very mobile and suitable for any counter, desk or table top.
Yes, this is perfectly normal. Once water is dispensed, more uncooled water flows through the filter into the reservoir and the fan will switch on in order to cool the filtered water in the reservoir. Once the optimum temperature is reached, the fan will turn off.
The cost of water per litre depends on the quality of the water being filtered. Based on regular tap water found in most cities, you would generate about 450-500 liters of filtered water to each filter. That works out to about 11 cents per litre which is a 90% saving on bottled water.
Our filters are clinically tested by SGS France, which is one of the world’s leading water testing laboratories. The filters remove contaminants such as chlorine, most pesticides and heavy metals commonly found in tap water, microbiological pathogens, cryptosporidium, cholera, E-coli and more. Most importantly it preserves the chemicals and softens the water unlike bottled water.
The indoor series filter should be used only for tap water. The outdoor series filter can filter water from a river, lake, stream or any outdoor source as long as one can see at least one foot below the surface.

In order to transport your unit, you should remove and empty the plastic bottle. Pour one or two glasses of water so that the reservoir is not full. Carry the unit to your sink. Underneath the unit you will find a removable rubber drain plug. Simply remove the plug and let all the water flow from the unit.
If you are moving your unit within your home, you should carefully remove the plastic bottle. Then pour a glass or two of water through the tap to drop the water level in the reservoir. It would then be easy to move the unit without spilling water.

We recommend keeping track of when your filter was last replaced. If 1-2 people are using the cooler we recommend a new filter every 3 months. For 3 or more people we recommend a new filter every 1-2 months.
You may find that the water is not passing through the filter as quickly or that the water taste is not as pure, indicating that it is time for a new filter. The water may also be slightly less clear.
The temperature has a single setting 6 degrees which has been found to be the optimum temperature at which one enjoys their cooled water. There is the option of filtering the water and keeping it at room temperature.
We have found that most coolers with adjustable temperatures experience many functional and operational problems.
It is safe to fill your bottle from your bathtub/shower or garden hose. If you have a sink that is not deep enough to fill your bottle, we recommend that you use a funnel. We plan on offering an accessory in the near future for this purpose.
The BPA Free bottle holds 7 litres and the reservoir holds another 750ml. Three 250ml glasses of ice cold water can be dispensed before re-cooling. This is more effective than competitive products in the market.
