Updated Oct 12, 2026 1 min read
Keeping your CARTA 3 glass top clean helps preserve flavor and keeps your water filtration performing at its best. Regular cleaning prevents residue buildup and keeps your glass looking like new.
Cleaning Instructions
- Ensure your CARTA 3 is completely powered off.
- Carefully remove the glass top from the base.
- Empty any remaining water from the glass.
- Fill the glass with 90% isopropyl alcohol.
- Cover the openings with your fingers or a stopper to prevent spills.
- Shake the glass vigorously for several minutes to loosen any residue.
- Set the glass down so the bottom portion can soak in the isopropyl alcohol for several minutes.
- Repeat the shaking and soaking process as needed until the glass is clean.
Rinse the Glass
Once the glass is clean:
- Empty the isopropyl alcohol.
- Fill the glass with distilled water and shake thoroughly to remove any remaining alcohol.
- Empty the water and repeat the rinse several times if necessary.
Refill the Glass
Once the glass has been thoroughly rinsed:
- Fill it with fresh water until the water level sits just above the Focus V logo on the glass.
- Carefully reinstall the glass onto the CARTA 3, ensuring it is fully seated before use.
Best Practices
- Clean the glass regularly to maintain the purest flavor.
- Always rinse thoroughly after using isopropyl alcohol.
- Never reinstall the glass while alcohol remains inside.
- Replace the water regularly, even if the glass appears clean.
