Should I keep my AquaTru Classic or AquaTru Classic Smart countertop purifier turned on and plugged in after it's done filtering?

To ensure optimal performance of the unit, we highly recommend that it remains plugged in and powered on at all times. This is important because when there is no water available for filtration, the unit automatically enters a standby mode. Therefore, there is no necessity for you to manually switch it off, allowing for a seamless experience without interruptions.

Once the filtration process has been completed, it is crucial to empty any residual water that may remain in the tap water tank. After emptying the tank, refill it with fresh tap water before placing it back onto the unit. This practice not only enhances the filtration performance but also helps to minimize the buildup of scale within the tap water tank. By maintaining a continuous circulation of water through the unit, you can ensure that it operates at its best and remains in peak condition for future use.

Moreover, it is important to note that AquaTru can only effectively monitor the lifespan of its filters when the unit is connected to a power source. If you decide to unplug the unit, this action will not reset the filter tracking system; instead, it will merely pause the tracking process. When you plug the unit back in, the tracking will resume from the point where it was interrupted. This feature allows you to keep an accurate record of filter usage without the worry of losing any data during power disconnections.
