Fitting Instructions

Detailed information on the removal
and re-installation of the filters is
supplied with your filter housing,
however changing the filter cartridge is
a simple matter:

1. Shut off the main water supply,

and turn the filtered drinking water
faucet to the ‘on’ position, to
release any pressure remaining in
the system.

2. Position a suitable container

beneath the housing to catch any
residual water. Unscrew the filter
body from the cap, empty the
water into the container and place
the body to one side.

3. Unscrew the old filter cartridge

from the cap, wrap in a plastic bag
or newspaper and discard with
your househo

ld waste.

4. Moisten the ‘o’ rings on the new

cartridge with clean water before
screwing the cartridge into the cap.

DO NOT use any greases or
solvents containing
hydrocarbons to lubricate the
threads or seals on the unit.
Also avoid the use of strong
detergents or oxidising agents
when cleaning the housing.

Please note: The cartridge is

made of ceramic and therefore
fragile and can easily be damaged
if not handled carefully. Care
should be taken when screwing
the cartridge into the housing cap.
Be careful not to crossthread or
overtighten the cartridge.

5. Carefully screw the filter body

into the filter cap and wipe
the housing clean with a
damp cloth.

The filter should now be ready
for pressurisation.

6. With the tap/faucet in the on

position, gradually turn the
main water supply on until the
flow from the tap has been
stabilized.

7. Close the filtered water faucet

and ensure that there is no
water leaking from the system
joints.

8. When the system has been

confirmed watertight, open
the tap and allow the water to
run for a minimum of 10
minutes to remove any loose
particles resulting from the
manufacture of the cartridge.

9. Additionally, to allow the filter

to be conditioned to the
source water, allow the unit to
stand unused fo
then flush for a further 10
minutes.

r 24 hours and

10. The filter is now ready for use

and the filtered water can be

for drinking and

used
preparing food.

When Leaving on Vacation
and to Winterize the Unit

If you plan to be away from home
for extended periods, or the filter
housing may be subject to the risk
of freezing, carry out stages 1,2
and 5. When the risk of freezing
subsides and you wish to use the
system again, turn the faucet on.
Gradually introduce the main
water supply until the flow from
the tap has stabilized. Run the
filtered water for 10 minutes to
flush the system and check
carefully for leaks. The system
should now be ready for use.

Allowing the unit to freeze will
invalidate the product
warranty.
