Billi Filter Cartridges
The B-5000 Sparkling is fitted with single
dual action filter incorporating sediment and
chemical removal elements. All Billi B-5000
filters are manufactured using bacteria and
biofilm resistant materials for improved water
quality.
Premium filters provide better tasting
water due to the high quality, carbon
chemical removal filter. Sub micron rated,
these filters have excellent chemical
absorption, removing or reducing chlorine,
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chemicals,
tastes and odours. Use only genuine filters
as designed for this system. All drinking
water filtration systems should be flushed
after a period of non-use. If your B-5000
Sparkling has not been used for a period of 48
hours or more, flush the system for 1 minute.
Replacement of Billi Filter Cartridge
Periodic replacement of your Filter Cartridge
is necessary to maintain the cleanliness of
your drinking water. Billi recommends a filter
replacement every 6 months. A replacement
filter change service is available. If you wish
to install the replacement filter cartridges
yourself, your Billi representative will provide
genuine Billi replacement filter cartridge sets.
Filter Change Due Monitor
The B-5000 Sparkling filter change due
monitor operates by counting the number
of cups dispensed and the number of days
elapsed until a pre-set level is reached.
Once reached, the yellow filter icon as
pictured above will turn on. The B-5000
Sparkling will continue to operate while
the filter indicator is flashing. Water filters
installed in areas with higher levels of
sediment will experience a reduced service
life. It may be necessary to change filters
before the change filter indicator flashes. If
particularly dirty water is noticed coming
through the water supply, e.g. from other
tap ware, immediately place your B-5000
Sparkling into Holiday Mode by pressing the
Pressure Relief button. This will help prevent
premature blocking of the filter cartridges.
