Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary supplies handy:

- Replacement felt pads (1 x black & 1 x white)
- Clean, dry hands
- Scrubbing brush
- Clean cloth.
- Optional: gloves for extra cleanliness
Step 2: Prepare the Workspace
Choose a clean, well-lit area to work on changing the water filter. Ensure that the surface is stable and free from any contaminants that could potentially compromise the cleanliness of your water cooler, filtration bottle or water filter.
Step 3: Remove the Old Water Filter
Carefully remove the filtration bottle from the top of the water cooler, then open the filtration bottle and remove the old water filter and the two felt pads inside the plastic dome. Dispose of the old water filter according to local regulations. Be cautious not to spill any water during this process.
Step 4: Clean the filtration bottle
It's time to give your filtration bottle a thorough cleaning, clean the filtration bottle with the old water filter and old felt pads removed. Deconstruct the filtration bottle, then use water and a cleaning brush or cloth to scrub/wipe the inside and outside of the filtration bottle and all parts, ensuring you remove any residue or buildup. Rinse the filtration bottle and all parts thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a clean towel.
Step 5: Rinse the Filter
Rinse the new water filter under the tap with cold water for 2 minutes or so before use to remove any loose carbon dust or particles. Also give the new felt pads a quick 10 second rinse.
Step 6: Install the New Water Filter
Take the new water filter and screw it into the thread in the filtration bottle. Make sure it fits securely, sits properly in place and the o-ring is straight. Also place the two new felt pads inisde the plastic dome (white on top).
Step 7: Reconstruct the filtration bottle
Reconstruct the filtration bottle, ensuring that the water filter, plastic dome and float valve are correctly fitted. Double-check to make sure the filtration bottle is reconstructed correctly.
Step 8: Place the Filtration Bottle Back on the Water Cooler

Once water has been added to the top part of the filtration bottle, re-check the water filter and plastic dome are fitted correctly and there are no leaks that could allow unfiltered water to bypass the new water filter and enter the bottom filtered water section.
Step 9: Enjoy Safe, Refreshing Water
