Unboxing notes: 1. Check body and tanks for dents; 2. Remove protective film and foam; 3. Air out in a cool ventilated place for 12-24 hours. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact the store where you purchased.

Placement (Non-Plumbed)

Non-plumbed setup

N5Pro is non-plumbed only — no water line connection needed:

1. Place on a stable, flat, dry surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources and oil fumes;

2. Leave ventilation space around the machine;

3. Remove the 5L rear raw tank, fill with tap water to max line, reseat firmly;

4. Plug into 220V (10A three-prong outlet) and turn on the power switch.

Never remove the tank while the machine is purifying. Never pour hot water into the tank (will deform it).

New Machine Flushing Guide

Before first use, flush the machine as follows to activate filters and clean internal tubing. The process takes about 30-40 minutes.

Step 1: Air Out

Remove the machine and all accessories from packaging. Take off the raw tank lid, raw tank, top cover and clean tank. Air out in a cool ventilated place for 12-24 hours. New machines and filters may have a slight factory odor that dissipates with airing.

Step 2: Start Purifying

Fill the raw tank with tap water to max line and reseat. Plug in and turn on the power switch. The water-drop icon appears on screen. Wait about 10 minutes until the pump stops and the clean water indicator shows two bars.

Step 3: Ambient Water Drain (repeat 3-5 times)

Place a container (>3.5L) under the spout. Tap "Help" on the main screen, select "Drain" on the sub-page, long-press the dispense ring for 5 seconds until "Draining" appears and the green light is on. Release. The machine drains continuously and stops automatically when the clean tank is empty.

When prompted to replace raw water, empty the remaining water and refill to max line each time.

Step 4: 45°C Warm Water Flush (repeat 1-2 times)

Refill the raw tank and wait for purification. Place a heat-resistant container (>3.5L). Tap "Temp" and select 45°C. Press the dispense ring (red light on) to dispense 45°C water until the clean tank empties and stops automatically.

Step 5: 98°C Hot Water Flush (repeat 1-2 times)

Refill the raw tank and wait for purification. Place a heat-resistant container (>3.5L). Tap "Temp" and select 98°C. Press the dispense ring (red light on) to dispense hot water until the clean tank empties.

Be careful of high-temperature burns.

Step 6: Hot Water Calibration

On first hot water use, the machine auto-calibrates based on ambient and inlet temperature: after refilling, dispense 98°C for 1-2 minutes, then 85°C for 1-2 minutes, continuing through 45°C. This lets the machine adapt to room temperature. More flushing = better taste.

At high altitude, run the boiling point check first to avoid steam or hot water splattering.

Water Marks & White Cloudiness on New Unit

Is it normal to see water marks on a new machine?

All Bewinch countertop purifiers undergo 100% performance and safety water testing before shipping. After testing, QC cleans the water path and installs new filters; a small amount of water may remain in the pump and valves. This is normal — just flush per the guide and use with confidence.

White cloudy water from the clean tank / spout?

This "cloudiness" is not impurities — it is tiny bubbles formed when the booster pump compresses air in the water. RO filtration requires high pressure to push water through the membrane. It is a normal physical phenomenon, safe to drink. After several flushes, as internal air decreases, it will fade and disappear at rest.

Place on a stable, flat, dry surface away from direct sunlight and oil fumes. If unused for over 72 hours, drain all internal water, refill with fresh raw water, wait for purification, drain again, and repeat 3 times.

Never remove the tank during purification — it can cause air lock and stop purification. Never pour hot water into the tank (will deform it).

05

Filters & Care

Filter Structure & Life

N5Pro uses 3 independent filters — replace only the one that reaches end of life, not as a set. The Spin ID system intelligently tracks filter life based on water usage, quality and time, showing a real-time percentage progress bar on screen.

StageReplacementFunction
Stage 1 (Pre-carbon Composite)12-18 monthsPP melt-blown + coconut shell carbon: removes sediment, rust, impurities; adsorbs chlorine, color, odor
Stage 2 (APQ2.0 RO Membrane)2-3 yearsNano-bionic barrier RO: blocks heavy metals (≥99.9%), bacteria, agricultural residues
Stage 3 (Post-carbon Mineralization)12-18 monthsCoconut carbon + strontium-zinc alkaline media: mineralizes, improves taste, inhibits bacteria

Filter Replacement & Reset

Replacement steps (Spin ID auto-reset)

1. Ensure the machine is not purifying; power off. Remove the raw tank lid and tank; slide the top cover toward the tank and lift it off;

2. Hold the filter handle, rotate the indicator from "Lock" to "Unlock," and lift out the old filter;

3. Insert the new filter aligned with "Unlock" into the slot, hold the handle and rotate from "Unlock" to "Lock";

4. Power on and wait for self-check. The machine auto-detects the new chip and restores the life indicator to 100% — no manual reset needed.

After replacing, drain 3 times to fully soak the new filter. If the sensor light doesn't change after 60 seconds, remove and reinsert. Never swap filters during purification (air lock). Non-original filters cannot reset and will stop the machine.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Removable Clean Tank Cleaning

Recommended every 1-2 months. First run the drain program to empty the clean tank. Unplug, remove raw tank, slide out the top cover, lift out the clean tank by its handle. Lay flat and unclip the lid. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth rinsed in boiled water. Reassemble, refill raw water, purify, drain, and repeat 2-3 times.

Raw Tank Cleaning & Descaling

The 5L rear tank is quick-release — clean every 1-2 weeks. If limescale appears, add food-grade descaler (or 5-10g citric acid dissolved in 65°C water), soak 30-60 minutes, wipe with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.

Drip Tray & Body

Remove the drip tray as shown and empty accumulated water regularly. Wipe the body with a soft dry cloth. Avoid corrosive cleaners or abrasive cloths. Keep away from direct sunlight.

Waste Water

N5Pro uses a buoy-sensor layered waste structure with 65% purified yield (Grade 1 efficiency). The remaining water in the raw tank is not "wastewater" in the harmful sense — it flushes impurities off the filter surface to extend filter life. When the "replace raw water" icon lights (near MIN line), empty and refill with fresh tap water.

Waste water is not drinkable but can be reused for watering plants, mopping, or flushing toilets.

Deep Descaling

If local water is hard, descale every 3-6 months: dissolve food-grade citric acid in 98°C water, pour into the raw tank, run a flush cycle for about 30 minutes, drain, then refill with tap water and drain 2-3 times.

Use food-grade citric acid only. Never use strong acids or other chemicals.

Long Periods of Non-Use

If unused for over 72 hours, drain all internal water, refill with fresh raw water, wait for purification, drain again, and repeat 3 times before normal use.

FAQ

Water Quality & Purification

Does N5Pro remove fluoride, chloramine, PFAS, and microplastics?

N5Pro uses Bewinch APQ2.0 nano-bionic barrier with reverse osmosis membrane. The RO pore size is 0.1 nanometers, effectively blocking: heavy metals (≥99.9% lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic), bacteria, viruses, microplastics, and most dissolved salts. The activated carbon stages adsorb residual chlorine, odor and organic compounds.

Note: RO cannot guarantee removal of all fluoride and chloramine. Local water supplies vary; check with your municipal water report. PFAS removal depends on membrane condition and contact time. Third-party lab test reports are available on request.

Can it make hot water instantly, and how long does a cup take?

Yes. N5Pro uses thick-film rare-earth instant heating (2200W), reaching set temperature within seconds. A 200mL cup at 98°C takes about 30-60 seconds. The 5L raw tank + 1.3L clean tank supports continuous dispensing; when the clean tank runs low, the machine auto-purifies and refills.

Is mineral alkaline water really alkaline? What is the pH?

The post mineralization filter releases trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, strontium, zinc) that raise the output to approximately pH 7.6 weak alkaline. Actual pH varies with local tap water TDS and temperature. It is weak alkaline, not strongly alkaline. We do not claim health benefits; it is simply better-tasting mineral water.

Is N5Pro BPA-free? Is it safe for baby formula?

The water-contact parts (clean tank, spout, tanks) are food-grade Tritan / ABS, BPA-free. N5Pro has a dedicated 45°C one-touch preset for baby formula. Always follow the formula manufacturer's ratio. Purified water through RO is safe for mixing infant formula.

Does it need filter resetting manually after replacement?

No. N5Pro uses Spin ID sensor chips. Once a new original filter is installed, the machine auto-detects and restores life to 100% — no manual reset needed. Non-original filters without the chip will not reset and may trigger an alarm.

Operation & Smart Features

What does each screen icon mean?

On the main screen: ambient temperature (blue), hot water temperature (red). Tank level shows 1-3 bars. Filter life shows percentage bars; flashing red = due for replacement. The water-drop icon = purifying. The lock icon = screen lock engaged. The gear/help icon opens settings.

How do I add, overwrite or delete custom profiles?

Tap "Custom" at the bottom of the main screen. Drag temp/volume sliders, press the dispense ring to trial once, then press "OK" to save. To add, tap "+". To delete, tap the edit icon (top right) and remove unwanted profiles. N5Pro supports up to 6 profiles.

How to enable ECO mode, screen lock, screen off?

Tap "Help" (gear) on the main screen. ECO mode dims the screen after 1 minute idle. Screen Lock locks dispensing until you swipe. Screen Off fully darkens the display; tap anywhere to wake. All are toggled on/off in the Help → Smart Features menu.

What do the error codes mean?

Common codes: E01 low ambient temp sensor; E02/E03/E04 outlet temp sensor; E05 water level sensor; E06 drain timeout; E07/E11 heating fault; E08 purification fault / periodic drain; E09 level sensor unplugged; H01 water level too high; H02/H2 idle over 72h; F2 raw TDS >999; 999 probe scaled. See the full error code table in Troubleshooting. If codes persist after restart, contact support.

How to use the drain / self-clean function?

Drain: Help → Smart Features → Drain, long-press dispense ring 5 seconds until green light. Place a >3.5L container. It auto-stops when empty. Self-clean: Help → Product Info → Self-Clean, place a >300mL container, tap Start; it dispenses 150mL of 98°C water to sanitize the spout.

Water Temperature & Volume

Why does hot water sometimes come out thin or steamy?

Instant heating boils water on demand. At 98°C the flow passes through the heating tube and instantly reaches near-boiling temperature, producing steam. This makes the flow appear thinner and slightly intermittent compared to ambient water. It is normal. At high altitude where boiling point is lower, this is more pronounced; try 85°C instead.

Why is fixed-volume dispense slightly off?

Small residual water in the tubing means fixed volumes have a normal tolerance. Hot water varies slightly more because flow rate changes with temperature. Use a calibrated measuring cup; this is within normal manufacturing tolerance.

How many temperature levels and volumes?

7 temperature presets: ambient, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 98°C. Volume: 50/100/150/200/300/500mL presets plus continuous, with a 50-1000mL infinite slider. Up to 6 custom profiles.

Filters & Running Cost

When do I replace filters? How do I know?

Stage 1 (pre-carbon): 12-18 months. Stage 2 (RO membrane): 2-3 years. Stage 3 (mineralization): 12-18 months. The screen shows real-time filter life percentage; when it flashes red, replace. Actual life depends on water quality and usage. The Spin ID chip tracks usage automatically.

Can I use third-party filters?

No. N5Pro uses Spin ID sensor chips; third-party filters without the chip cannot be recognized and the machine will not reset. Non-original filters may also compromise water quality and seal fit, and will void the warranty. Always purchase Bewinch original filters from authorized stores.

Why does filter life decrease faster in some months?

Filter life is calculated from three factors: power-on time, raw water TDS, and cumulative water volume. Poor source water, heavy usage, or hot water demand all accelerate consumption. The progress bar is a recommendation; replace earlier if water taste or flow drops.

How much does annual filter replacement cost?

Cost varies by region and store promotions. Rough annual estimate: Stage 1 + Stage 3 replaced annually, Stage 2 replaced every 2-3 years. Check the official store for current filter prices. We recommend buying filters at the same time as the machine for bundle pricing.

Cleaning & Maintenance

How often should I clean the tanks?

Raw tank: every 1-2 weeks. Removable clean tank: every 1-2 months. Body and drip tray: wipe regularly. If limescale appears in the raw tank, descale with citric acid. After 72 hours idle, drain and refill 3 times before use.

What is the waste water ratio? Where does it go?

N5Pro has Grade 1 efficiency with ~65% purified yield. The "waste" water does not drain externally — it returns to the 5L raw tank to flush the RO membrane surface. When the "replace raw water" icon lights, empty the tank and refill. It is not sewage; it can be reused for plants or mopping.

How to descale the heating tube?

If local water is hard, descale every 3-6 months. Dissolve food-grade citric acid in 98°C water, pour into the raw tank, run a flush cycle for ~30 minutes, drain, then rinse with fresh tap water 2-3 times. Use only food-grade citric acid; never use strong acids.

How to clean the removable clean tank?

First run the drain program to empty it. Unplug, remove the top cover, lift out the clean tank by its handle. Lay flat and unclip the lid. Wipe interior with a soft cloth rinsed in boiled water. Reassemble, refill, purify, drain, repeat 2-3 times.

Installation & Placement

Is N5Pro really non-plumbed? Do I need a plumber?

Yes — N5Pro is fully non-plumbed. Just fill the 5L rear tank with tap water, plug in, and go. No plumbing, no drilling, no installation appointment needed. It moves easily between kitchen, living room and bedroom.

What are the power and space requirements?

220V~ / 50Hz, 2200W rated, needs a 10A three-prong grounded outlet. Dimensions: 260W × 390D × 400H mm. Place on a stable, flat, dry surface with ventilation space. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.

Can I use it in a rental office?

Yes. Because it is non-plumbed, it is ideal for rentals and offices. Just fill the tank and plug in. When you move, empty the tanks and pack it in the original box.

After-Sales & Service

What is the warranty?

30-day no-reason return; 2-year (730-day) replacement-only warranty; 3-year nationwide warranty including free on-site repair for non-human-caused defects in the first 2 years. 1,300+ service centers nationwide.

How do I contact support?

For general questions, order issues or filter purchases, contact the store where you purchased (JD / Tmall / WeChat official account "bewinch-biyunquan" / "Xiaolai Daojia" mini-program). For on-site repair appointments, call the national service hotline 400-8288-086.

How to book on-site repair?

1. Contact the store where you purchased or call the hotline; 2. Query service centers via the WeChat official account or mini-program; 3. Provide name, address, phone, product model (JST-R602) and a clear description of the fault; 4. A specialist will call to confirm the appointment time.

Does the warranty cover filters?

Filters are consumables and are covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects (not against normal wear). If a filter is defective out of the box, contact the store for replacement. Non-original filters void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

Machine Leaking / Dripping Water

Symptom
Water pooling under or around the machine, or dripping from the spout after the cup is removed.
Possible Causes
① Tank not seated firmly; ② filters not fully tightened; ③ drip tray overflowing; ④ loose internal connection; ⑤ residual carbon powder in the spout tubing (new machine).
Solution
① Refit the raw tank and clean tank firmly; ② open the top cover and re-tighten all three filters from Unlock to Lock; ③ empty the drip tray; ④ dry the surface and observe. If dripping from the spout on a new unit, run 3-5 drain cycles to flush residual carbon. If leaking persists after these steps, unplug and contact the store where you purchased.

No Water / Weak Flow / Intermittent Flow

Symptom
Pressing dispense gives no water, weak flow, or sputtering flow.
Possible Causes
① Raw tank empty or not seated; ② clean tank empty; ③ top cover not closed (safety lock); ④ "air lock" after filter replacement; ⑤ filter life expired; ⑥ booster pump fault.
Solution
① Check raw tank water level and refit; ② wait for purification to fill the clean tank; ③ press the top cover firmly until it clicks; ④ run an "air purge" — wait for purification to start (you'll hear pumping), open the cover, remove filters and gently poke the bottom holes with a chopstick to release trapped air (be careful of splashing); ⑤ replace expired filters; ⑥ if still no flow after power cycling for 1 minute, contact support.

Water Tastes Off / Plastic Smell / Odor

Symptom
Water smells of plastic, chlorine, or has an off taste after flushing.
Possible Causes
① New machine / new filter residual factory odor; ② insufficient flushing; ③ filters near end of life; ④ clean tank needs cleaning; ⑤ old water stagnant after long idle.
Solution
① Air out with top cover and tank lid open for 12-24 hours; ② repeat the full new-machine flush (3-5 ambient drains + 1-2 warm flushes); ③ if filters are due, replace them; ④ clean the removable clean tank; ⑤ after 72h idle, drain and refill 3 times. For persistent odor, use the "dish soap method": dilute food-grade dish soap, circulate through the clean tank, then rinse with fresh water 3-5 times.

White Floating Particles / Black Powder in Water

Symptom
White flecks floating in water, or black powder in the raw or clean tank.
Possible Causes
① White: food-grade lubricant residue from new filters/tubing; ② black: residual activated carbon powder from new carbon filters; ③ both are normal on new units.
Solution
Both are normal and harmless. Run 5-10 cups of water through; the particles will disappear. Black powder in the raw tank means flush 3-5 times; in the clean tank, rinse with tap water and wipe, then drain 2-3 more times. If black powder appears months after use, the filter may be damaged — contact support.

Water Not Hot Enough / Temperature Inaccurate

Symptom
Hot water comes out lukewarm, or actual temperature differs from the set temperature.
Possible Causes
① First hot-water use without calibration; ② high altitude (lower boiling point); ③ inlet water too cold; ④ heating tube scaled; ⑤ sensor fault.
Solution
① Run the hot water calibration: dispense 98°C for 1-2 min, then 85°C, then 45°C; ② at altitude, use 85°C instead of 98°C; ③ allow the machine to preheat after long idle; ④ descale with citric acid; ⑤ if the error code E02/E03/E04 appears, power cycle and contact support.

Screen / Touch Issues

Symptom
Screen digits flickering, touch unresponsive, intermittent, or all buttons locked.
Possible Causes
① Water on the screen (capacitive touch); ② unstable voltage; ③ screen lock engaged ("LoC" or lock icon); ④ touch film fault.
Solution
① Wipe the screen dry; ② plug into a dedicated grounded outlet; ③ long-press the lock/child-lock button for 5 seconds or swipe to unlock; ④ if flickering persists after these steps, contact support for touch film replacement.

Filter Life Not Resetting / Alarm After Replacement

Symptom
After replacing a filter, the life indicator does not return to 100%, or the red filter light stays on.
Possible Causes
① Filter not fully seated; ② non-original filter without Spin ID chip; ③ chip contact dirty; ④ replaced during purification.
Solution
① Power off, remove and reseat the filter firmly from Unlock to Lock; ② confirm it is an original Bewinch filter; ③ clean the chip contact; ④ never swap filters during purification. If the light does not change after 60 seconds of power-on, contact support.

TDS Reading Abnormal (999 / 0403)

Symptom
Screen shows 999, or 0403 on a new machine.
Possible Causes
① 999: TDS probe scaled or source water extremely hard; ② 0403: factory default reading (raw 04 / clean 03) before first purification; ③ float stuck.
Solution
For 0403: this is normal on a new unit — after completing the flush cycle and purifying, the numbers update automatically. For 999: empty all raw water, refill with fresh tap water, let the machine purify, and the TDS will drop. If 999 persists on a new unit, the probe may be scaled — contact support.

Machine Noisy During Purification

Symptom
Loud pumping noise during purification, especially on first use.
Possible Causes
① Air in the water path on a new unit; ② machine not on a flat surface; ③ booster pump vibration; ④ hard water causing pump load.
Solution
New-machine noise is normal — internal air gets compressed by the booster pump. After several purification/drain cycles the noise drops. Place the machine on a flat, stable surface and put a soft mat underneath to reduce resonance. If noise remains abnormal, contact support.

Removable Clean Tank / UV Issues

Symptom
Clean tank not seating, anti-overflow alarm (red light), or UV not cycling.
Possible Causes
① Clean tank not properly installed, triggering the overflow sensor; ② UV lamp not enabled; ③ tank contacts dirty.
Solution
① Remove and reseat the clean tank firmly, then run a dispense/drain cycle to clear the alarm; ② ensure Helix-UV is enabled in settings; ③ clean the contacts on the tank and base. If the red anti-overflow light persists, contact support.

White Scale / Crystals in Raw Tank

Symptom
White powery scale on the inner walls of the raw tank.
Possible Causes
Hard water mineral deposits on the tank walls over time.
Solution
Normal. To descale: dissolve 5-10g food-grade citric acid in a cup of ~65°C water, fill the raw tank with tap water, pour in the solution, soak 30-60 minutes, wipe with a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly.

Insects Around the Base

Symptom
Small insects seen near the base or drain holes.
Possible Causes
The base has safety drain holes; insects may enter in warm, humid environments.
Solution
Place the machine in a clean, ventilated, dry spot and clean regularly. Place 1-2 non-toxic insect-repellent sachets around the four feet. The internal water path is fully sealed, so water quality is unaffected.

Vertical Line on the Body

Symptom
A faint vertical line or seam on the plastic housing.
Possible Causes
Injection molding joint line — an industry-wide phenomenon where plastic flows meet during molding.
Solution
Normal, does not affect use or appearance. Manufacturing processes are continuously improved to minimize these lines.

Filter Packaging Looks Bulged

Symptom
The outer plastic wrap of a new filter looks inflated or bulging.
Possible Causes
Factory air-tightness test — filters are inflated and sealed to preserve performance during storage.
Solution
Normal. As long as the seal is intact and undamaged, the filter is fine. Bewinch uses double-seal packaging to protect filters during shipping.

Cloudy / Greenish Water in Raw Tank

Symptom
Raw tank water looks cloudy, with green or brown suspended particles.
Possible Causes
Algae spores or pipe sediment from aging municipal water mains, more common in summer.
Solution
The raw tank holds unpurified tap water. The RO membrane (0.0001 micron pore) filters out all microbes, bacteria and impurities — the dispensed water is safe to drink. Clean the raw tank regularly.

Practical Tips & Self-Help

"Air Lock" Purification Slow / No Flow After Filter Change

Solution
Power on and wait until purification starts (you'll hear pumping). Open the top cover, remove filters, and gently poke the bottom holes with a chopstick to release trapped air. If the chopstick meets resistance, air lock is confirmed — water may spray from the filter bottom, so keep it away from your face. Do this for each filter, then reseat, wipe and close the cover.

Deep Deodorizing After New-Machine Plastic Smell

Solution
New water-contact plastic parts may carry a faint factory odor. Air out the clean tank open for 12-24 hours, then complete the flush cycle. If odor persists, use the "dish soap method": dilute food-grade dish soap, circulate through the clean tank, then rinse with fresh water 3-5 times. See the official video tutorial for details.

What Is TDS? Why Does It Vary?

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) measures dissolved minerals in water — higher means more minerals and impurities. TDS depends on your tap water and is not fixed. Residual old water in the tubing mixes with fresh water, so readings may be slightly higher than tap water. After refilling, dispense one cup and let the machine purify so the probe reads the new water.

Why Does Remaining Raw Water Look Concentrated?

Solution
The RO membrane is 0.1nm precision. To prevent impurities from clogging the membrane, a portion of water flushes the membrane surface and returns to the raw tank — this is the "waste" water. It is only slightly higher in dissolved salts, not sewage. Empty and refill the raw tank fully each time; do not reuse it.

How Is Filter Life Calculated?

Filter life is calculated from three dimensions: ① power-on time (like a food expiry date — it degrades over time even without use); ② raw water TDS (poorer water consumes filters faster); ③ cumulative water volume. The indicator is a recommended replacement cycle, not a hard deadline — but don't wait until the filter is completely clogged, as this can overload the booster pump or rupture tubing.

Clean Tank Monthly Maintenance

Solution
Recommended every 2-3 months: remove the raw tank, open the top cover and clean tank lid, long-press dispense ring 5s to drain completely, wipe the clean tank interior with a lint-free cloth, refill the raw tank and wait for purification, then drain 2-3 more times before normal use.
