FAQs
How often should I replace the A5 filter cartridge?
It is recommended to replace the A5 filter cartridge approximately every 4 weeks, or based on the filter life indicator. Heavy usage or very hard water may require more frequent replacement.
Can I use this jug with hot water?
No, this water filter jug is designed for cold tap water only. Using hot water can damage the filter and the jug material.
What does the ecological life indicator do?
The ecological life indicator is designed to help you track the approximate lifespan of your filter based on usage patterns or time. It typically provides a visual cue when it's nearing the end of its effective filtering period, prompting a replacement.
Is the jug dishwasher safe?
The AQUAPHOR Provence Water Filter Jug is not recommended for dishwashers. Hand washing with mild soap and warm water is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and prevent damage.
What contaminants does the A5 filter reduce?
The A5 filter is designed to reduce sediment, chlorine (taste and odor), heavy metals such as lead and copper, and limescale. It also helps reduce microplastics.
What is the capacity of the jug?
The AQUAPHOR Provence Water Filter Jug has a total capacity of 4.2 liters. The filtered water capacity within the main jug is approximately 2.5 liters.
Is the jug made of glass?
The jug features a stylish glass effect finish but is constructed from durable, BPA-free plastic materials.
Troubleshooting
Water is filtering very slowly.
Ensure the filter is correctly seated in the filter holder and that the holder is properly placed in the jug. Try re-soaking the filter if it has been a long time since its last use.
Water still tastes or smells like chlorine.
The filter may be exhausted and need replacement. Ensure you are using genuine Aquaphor A5 filters. Double-check that the filter is fully immersed in water during the initial soak and that the jug has been flushed as per instructions.
Filter indicator is not working.
The indicator is a mechanical or battery-operated device (depending on the model). Check the battery if applicable, or ensure the indicator mechanism is properly reset after filter changes. Consult the specific indicator instructions if available.
Jug appears cloudy or has white residue.
This is likely limescale. Clean the jug thoroughly with a mild solution of water and vinegar, or use a descaler designed for water filter jugs. Ensure regular filter replacement to minimize scale buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Prepare the Filter: Soak the A5 filter in cold running water for 5-10 minutes to activate it.
- Assemble the Jug: Insert the prepared filter into the filter holder. Place the filter holder into the jug.
- Fill the Jug: Pour cold tap water into the reservoir. The water will filter through into the main jug.
- Discard First Batches: It is recommended to discard the first two jugs of filtered water to flush out any fine particles.
Compatibility:
- This jug is compatible exclusively with Aquaphor A5 filter cartridges. Using other filter types may compromise performance and void warranties.
Care and Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the jug, lid, and reservoir with mild dish soap and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the plastic.
- Filter Replacement: Replace the A5 filter cartridge approximately every 4 weeks, or when the ecological life indicator suggests, depending on water usage and local water hardness.
- Storage: Store the jug in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is on to prevent dust contamination.
