FAQ: Colonet JR-4™

Continuous Flow Home Enema Unit FAQ


How often do you need to change the filter in the Colonet JR-4™?

To ensure the cleanest possible treatment water, we recommend to change it at least every 80 treatments (item # 1700 in product catalogue). If the filter is allowed to clog-up, sediment and other water impurities will pass in to your treatment water and coat the quartz-sleeve in the reactor chamber of the Ultra Violet Sterilizer, diminishing effectiveness. This quartz-sleeve is removable for cleaning as described in the Colonet's instructions.

How do I know whether the Ultra Violet Sterilizer Lamp is working and when does it need to be replaced?

The power adapter of the UV Sterilizer is equipped with a monitor light. When lit it indicates proper functioning. When the light is out UV bulb (lamp) needs replacement. These bulbs are designed to last hundreds of hours when properly cared for.

It is recommended to use padded ½" plywood on top of the bathtub to lay on during treatment. What if I do not have a bathtub?

A bathtub is not necessary. In most situations it is simply the most practical and space-efficient area to make use of. You can use or create any surface to lay on that you feel comfortable with as long as this surface is in close proximity of a toilet for the waste hose to reach and is not lower than the seat of the toilet for the gravity system to function properly.

If I choose to mount my Colonet onto the wall, is this a permanent installation?

The Colonet is equipped with a slide on mounting bracket. Once the wall plate is attached the entire unit slides on and off very easily and quickly.

Can I do the treatments by myself?

Like any enema kit the Colonet is designed to be used without assistance. This unit comes with in depth instructions for installation and use.
