Shortly after changing the filter, the filtered water may appear cloudy during the first 2–3 filtration cycles.

This cloudiness is caused by the activated carbon in the filter, which reduces odours and chemical substances in the water. As the activated carbon tends to break up slightly during transport, it is recommended that you discard the first two batches of filtered water when using the filter for the first time. These granules have no adverse effects on your health; if you accidentally drink them, they will be excreted by the body and will not cause you any harm.
