====Build the system====

* Remove the candle from the box and clean the outside of the filter with water, always avoid touching the filterstone with your hands; hold the filter at the bottom.

* Put the sprout of the filter candle in the hole(s) in the bottom of the top bucket and also through the hole(s) in the cover of the lower bucket.

* Within some minutes, the water will drip out of the filter; the first water can contain some dirt, so throw away the first litres of water and only start using the filter after that.

====Maintenance====

The filter system needs only a minimum of maintenance (regular cleaning of the outside of the ceramic element and inspection and cleaning of the inside of the buckets). The filter candle can be used for six month up to several years, depending on the quality of the water to be filtered.
