Welcome to the comprehensive FAQ for the Lite3 RO Water Dispenser! Below, you'll find detailed answers to common questions about your water dispenser.
Replacement Filters
What substances can RO filter?
If you use a reverse osmosis water filter, it removes most minerals from the water. Due to this, some people choose to remineralize their water to ensure they get essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. While mineral water can contribute to your mineral intake, you can also obtain these minerals from various foods in your diet. Common dietary sources of these minerals include:
- Calcium: Dairy products, leafy green vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
- Magnesium: Nuts, seeds, whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and legumes.
- Sodium: Table salt and naturally occurring sodium in foods.
- Potassium: Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts.
- Sulfate: Some vegetables, fruits, and meats.
- Bicarbonate: Fruits and vegetables.
The necessity of drinking mineral water depends on various factors, including your overall diet and health. Water, in general, is essential for hydration, but whether you need mineral water depends on your mineral intake from other sources.
Maintaining a balanced and varied diet can help ensure you get an adequate intake of essential minerals without solely relying on mineral water. It's important to note that individual nutritional needs may vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional or nutritionist can provide personalized advice based on your specific health circumstances.

How To Use

Yes, water stored in the glass pitcher after RO purification is safe to drink.
What should I do when the water drop button flashes red while the tank has enough water?
- The raw water tank is probably not installed correctly. Install the water float correctly and tighten the rubber plug. Ensure the magnet side of the water float faces the machine during installation.
- The water level is below the minimum water level line.
Empty the water in the raw water tank and refill it to the maximum water level line.
When the water drop button flashes red, is it normal if there is still water in the raw water tank?
What is left in the water tank is rejected water which cannot be filtered anymore. Empty the water tank and refill it with fresh water. If adding water directly to the rejected water, the red light will keep flashing unless there is a power outage. You can refer to the video here from 6:30.
