Aqua Optima is a leading brand in water filtration technology, owned by Strix Limited, a global leader in kettle controls and water purification. For over 20 years, Aqua Optima has developed efficient systems designed to deliver purer, great-tasting water by reducing common impurities such as chlorine, limescale, heavy metals, herbicides, and pesticides.

Aqua Optima focuses on providing sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to single-use bottled water, helping households reduce plastic waste while enjoying high-quality hydration.

• How often should I change my Aqua Optima filter?

  For best performance, the Evolve+ filter cartridge should be replaced after 100 liters of use or approximately every 30 days.

• How do I prepare a new filter cartridge?

  Soak the cartridge in a bowl of water for 5–10 minutes to remove air bubbles, then rinse it under a running tap for 1 minute before fitting it into the vessel.

• Why are there black particles in my new filter?

  You may see small black carbon particles; this is normal and harmless. They are residue from the activated carbon and will wash away during the initial preparation process.

• What do the lights on the Aurora dispenser mean?

  An orange filter icon indicates the filter needs changing. A solid orange 'Rinse/Descale' light means a rinse is needed, while flashing orange indicates descaling is required.

• Can I filter hot water with Aqua Optima products?

  No, you should only filter cold or room temperature tap water (up to 30°C). Filtering hot water can damage the appliance and void the warranty.
