Combining old-fashioned ingenuity with modern filtration technology, our Water Cooler is the best of both worlds. Simply pour a gallon of water into the wide top and gravity feeds it through a dual micro-pore ceramic/activated carbon filter that removes 95% of chlorine, pesticides,heavy metals including iron, aluminum, lead and 100% cryptosporidium, giardia and sediment. Water is constantly chilled as its molecules slowly pass through the natural terra-cotta shell in an evaporative cooling process used by the pioneers to keep water fresh. Filters 6 gallons a day. Filters last 1 year or 2,500 gallons. 10" W x 20"H

Historic Data
John Doulton founded his first pottery in 1815 at Lambreth, England on the banks of the Thames river. The main products of the original company were ceramic busts, figurines, canning jars and tableware. Influenced by thc unrelenting progress of tho Industrial Revolution, Doulton placed equal emphasis on industrial applications for ceramic technology. As early as 1827, this fine china manufacturer was in the water treatment business, using various earth and clay materials in the first Doulton water filters.
Where Is The La Natural Made?
The La Natural is made in South America. Here's a nice picture of the factory. The filter is made in England by Doulton.
How Is The La Natural Made?
The La Natural is made by hand. Here is a picture of the manufacturing process.
How Do I Eliminate The Earthy Taste In The Water?
Fill the upper reservoir with water and let filter normally. Empty lower reservoir, and repeat Steps 1, 2 & 3 until earthy taste is eliminated. If larger container (e.g. bathtub, or kitchen sink) is available, submerge both upper and lower units (without filter) into hot water and let stand overnight. This will greatly shorten the "priming" process.
The Flow Rate Is Slower Than When The Filter Was First Used. How Do I Correct This?
Remove the ceramic candle filter and wash it with water ONLY. The ceramic filter can be scrubbed with a soft brush. DO NOT use soap or detergents. Shake filter candle vigorously to possibly unclog media granules inside filter.
The Outside Surface Of The La Natural Is White. What Does This Mean?
If the outside of the terra cotta unit appears dirty or the surface turns white from harmless air-borne molds on the moist surface of the terra cotta surface, clean outer surface with a wet cloth ONLY Always leave the terra cotta unit in an open area which is well ventilated. The water remains cool inside the unit because of the evaporation of water through the walls of the terra cotta.
List Of Items Included
Terra cotta base Terra cotta or Plastic upper unit with lid Spigot with washers If spigot is not already installed, follow these instructions: Remove spigot from packing Insert spigot into lower unit from the outside with one gasket Slip gasket on to spigot threads (interior of unit) and screw on wingnut hand tight Turn spigot by hand one (1) full rotation clockwise (usually without the use of tools). Fill lower unit with water to ensure no leaking If leaking occurrs, repeat the notes d & e
Installation And Replacement Of The Ceramic Filter
Slip one washer over stem of filter snug to bottom of filter Insert stem of filter through center opening inside upper unit with filter upright Slip wingnut on filter stem (visible from outside bottom of upper unit) and hand tighten for snug fit
Elimination Of Earthy Taste
New terra cotta may initially impart a slight "Earthy Taste" into the water which can be eliminated by the following methods:Fill the upper reservoir with water and let filter normally Empty lower reservoir, and repeat Steps 1, 2 & 3 until earthy taste is eliminated If larger container, (e.g.bathtub, or kitchen sink) is available, submerge both upper and lower units (without filter) into hot water and let stand overnight. This will greatly shorten the "priming" process. Proceed to Steps 1, 2, & 3 to start drinking cool, fresh tasting water.
Use And Maintenance
If the flow rate of filtration is not 1/4 gallon per hour or it becomes
noticeably slower than when the filter was first used: Remove the ceramic candle filter and wash it with water ONLY . The ceramic filter can be scrubbed with a soft brush. DO NOT use soap or detergents. Shake filter candle vigoriously to possibly unclog media granules inside filter. If the outside of the terra cotta unit appears dirty or if the surface turns white from harmless air-borne molds on the moist surface of the terra cotta surface:Clean outer surface with a wet cloth ONLY . Always leave the terra cotta unit in an open area which is well ventilated. The water remains cool inside the unit because of the evaporation of water through the walls of the terra cotta
Filling Instructions
To retain a constant one gallon capacity, refill upper portion with the same amount of water dispensed. this will eliminate possible overflowing between upper and lower section.Please fill in warranty card and mail. This will ensure notification in one year when the filter is due to be changed .
