Your zazen Alkaline Water system has 5 different parts that need to be replaced at specific times:

Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge

Every 6 months (if using more than 12 litres per day, you should replace sooner)

Ceramic Filter

Every 12 months (if you use tank/bore water, you may need to change it every 6 months depending on how well you pre-filter your tank water)

Silver Stones (red/brown)

Every 12 months

Alkalinity & Anti-Oxidant Enhancer

Every 12 months

Mineral Stones (blue/grey)

Every 5 years

Zazen record your system purchase and all your replacement parts purchased on their Customer Service System, so always know exactly when your parts need replacing. Zazen will remind you via email (or text if you prefer)

To ensure the very best quality water for your health and wellness benefit, it is important to change your filters and stones on time.

Multi-Stage Filter Cartridge - once placed in your zazen Water system, the Filter Cartridge has a maximum life of 6 months, regardless of the volume of water filtered (If you have a large family, or busy office/clinic, using over 12 litres / day, you may need to change your filter cartridge sooner). If not replaced on time, the acidic contaminants in your source water will affect the ability of the system to produce healthy alkaline water.

For effective fluoride reduction of up to 90%, it is very important to change the this filter every 6 months at a maximum.

When you should change the other components in your zazen Alkaline Water System:

Ceramic Filter - this filter deteriorates over time with use and cleaning and should be replaced every 12 months. It plays a critical role in pre-filtering large contaminants (greater than 0.2 micron) from your water, such as bacteria, ecoli, giardia and other organic matter, so they do not clog up the Filter Cartridge, impacting its ability to do its heavy metal and fluoride filtering at an effective level.

Silver Stones - conserve the freshness and health of the water in the bottom tank due to their anti-bacterial properties and should be replaced every 12 months.

Alkalinity Enhancer - these little white balls help boost the pH of the water due to the ionised magnesium and calcium being released into the water and should be replaced every 12 months.

Mineral Stones - these stones contain a balanced range of natural minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and silicon which help to balance, fortify and assist with the pH and increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. They shouold be replaced every 5 years.

All 5 components work synergistically together to provide you with healthy alkaline mineral water.

Over time due to filtering your drinking water, the Ceramic Filter in the top tank becomes coated with organic matter, rust, sediments, etc that are in your source water, but are too large to pass through the Ceramic Filter. Depending on your water source, you may need to clean the Ceramic Filter on a regular basis (depending on location, this can vary between weekly and monthly). Do this with a clean wet cloth, gently wiping the ceramic. You can also use a lemon to help whiten the ceramic – NEVER use detergents or other cleaners!

You will know ongoing when you need to clean your Ceramic Filter as your system will slow down when filtering water and water will just sit in the top tank, as it cannot flow through the Ceramic Filter.
