- Anti-drip rim.
- Polished inside and out.
- With 1 handle (201SS).
- No lid.
2 additional Coldstream FTO+ cartridges:
What's in the box:
- 2 Coldstream FTO+ Filters
- 4 gaskets (Comes with two washers per filter. Use one in the upper chamber between the filter and the steel. Keep the other one in reserve.)

Important note: operation of the upper and lower tanks
Gravity filtration systems, such as Pure Filters, are designed to provide optimal filtration capacity by using two separate vessels.
Total Advertised Capacity: The stated capacity (e.g., 6L, 9L, or 12L) is the maximum capacity of the lower tank when filled to the brim.
Upper tank capacity: The upper tank has a slightly reduced capacity, because:
- The filters installed take up part of the space.
- The filters also retain a small amount of water inside their porous structure to ensure optimal filtration.
How to effectively populate the system:
- To reach the full capacity of the lower tank:
- Allow about 1/4 of the water in the upper bowl to be filtered into the lower bowl.
- Add water to the top bowl again to fill it to the brim.
- Then let all the water be filtered.
Why is this common to all gravity systems?
This principle is based on the laws of physics and applies to all gravity purifiers on the market. This design ensures slow and efficient filtration to purify the water optimally.
