MANUAL
FOR A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
1. PRESENTATION
Welcome to your filtration equipment of the ESSENTIAL
series. Thank you and congratulations.
The filters of the ESSENTIAL series are some of the best
domestic filters to improve the characteristics of water
that you can find on the market.
They are an excellent solution to remove the particles in
suspension, unpleasant odours and tastes.
Your filter of the ESSENTIAL series provides you with
different benefits and advantages:
It is a physical system that does not either use or add
chemical products to water.
Provides high quality water.
Ensures high production.
Has low maintenance costs.
Offers a convenient and easy installation.
2. INTRODUCTION
The filters of the ESSENTIAL series:
• Remove the volatile compounds such as chlorine, as
well as organic compounds.
Generally, active carbon is one of the most efficient
systems to remove volatile compounds. The most relevant one is chlorine, which is usually used to treat and
distribute water to homes. Removing chlorine prevents
the taste and the smell it gives to water. Active carbon
also allows to reduce the concentration of chloramines,
another chlorinated compound which sometimes is
used as an alternative to chlorine in the drinking water
treatment, and trihalomethanes, which are formed after
chlorination. A good quality filter can remove up to 99%
of the chlorine in water, the 98% of trihalomethanes and
the 99% of possible organic pollutants present in water.
• Remove particles in suspension. This filter significantly reduces the quantity of particles in suspension such
as oxides or earth particles, which may also give taste
and, especially, colour, or cause the water to be muddy.
WARNING: Filters of the ESSENTIAL series ARE
NOT WATER PURIFIERS by themselves.
3. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

4. UNPACKING AND VERIFICATION OF THE CONTENTS
Before installation and initial operation it is important
to check the contents of the box and the condition of the
components in order to check they have not been damaged during transport.
WARNING: Claims due to damage in transit should
be submitted along with the distributor delivery
sheet or invoice, including the name of the freight
company within 24 hours after reception of the
goods.
Unpack the equipment and its accessories from its
packaging and dispose of any protective packaging material.
Recyclable materials have been used for the packaging
and should be disposed of in the appropriate recycling
bins or at the specific local waste product recycling centre.
5. PRIOR WARNINGS
The domestic filters of the ESSENTIAL series ARE NOT
A WATER PURIFIER. In the event of the water to be
treated coming from a public water supply (and therefore meeting current legislation requirements), the domestic FILTERS of the ESSENTIAL series will substantially improve the water quality.
In the event of the water to be treated not coming from
a public water supply or from an unknown source, a
physico-chemical and bacteria analysis of the water to
be treated should be completed in order to ensure the
correct purification process, and by applying the appropriate techniques and equipment as necessary PRIOR
TO THE INSTALLATION of the equipment. Please contact your distributor to receive advice on appropriate

treatment.
6. INSTALLATION
WARNING: The work must be carried out under
adequate hygienic conditions, taking the neces-
sary precautions with everything related to the
materials that are going to be in contact with the water
to be treated or consumed.
6.1. INSTALLATION OF 1 WAY TAP
1. Once the location of the tap has been chosen between
the counter-top or the sink (usually in the corner), drill a
hole with the 12mm bit to insert the threaded stud of the
tap (image 1). Use the metal trim to choose the location
of the drill. If due to the geometric shape of the countertop or sink, you have trouble assembling the metal trim
of the tap, use the slim rubber joint supplied, instead of
the metal trim, to assemble the tap.
2. Prior to this, insert the metal trim and a thick flat rubber joint (both on the upper part of the counter-top) in
the threaded stud. Then insert the threaded stud into
the hole. After completing this step, install the lower
parts of the threaded stud: the rigid plastic washer, the
spring washer and the hexagon nut.
They should be tightened together with a double socket
wrench no. 14/15mm, until the tap is completely static
and properly positioned. Put the tap in the right place
before the final tightening (it is recommended that the
tap handle is pointing towards the exterior of the counter-top) (image 2). If the counter-top is thicker than the
threaded stud of the tap, use the tap adaptor (image 3).

3. Unscrew the connection of the hose or flexible pipe
(image 5). Have a container or cleaning cloth ready to
collect or wipe up the water that may come out of the
flexible pipe when unscrewed. Place the 3/8" wall adaptor with the 1/4" tube valve between the wall adaptor
and the valve or flexible pipe (image 6). The built-in 3/8"
flat joint makes it unnecessary to use a sealant (Teflon
wire, liquid Teflon, hemp twine, etc.) (image 7). Connect
the cold water female flexible pipe to the male fitting of
the 3/8" adaptor.
4. Then, connect the 1/4" white tube between the supply valve and the 1/4" inlet connection of the filter head.
Make sure the tube is properly inserted.
5. Once the inlet connection is done, connect the 1/4"
white tube between the female adaptor and the 1/4"
outlet of the head. Make sure the tube is properly inserted.
Before opening the supply valve, install the supplied filter: remove its protective cap and insert the filter into
the head while turning it to the right.
Once the filter has been installed and everything is connected, open the main supply valve and check for leaks
in connections. Then open the 1/4" valve key of the filtration inlet and check again for leaks.
After completing the necessary verifications, open the
tap on the counter-top to bleed any air that may be inside (beware of any splashes of water).
Then open the filtration tap and purge the carbon dust:
let the water flow for about 1 minute to clean all dust.
Once the cleaning is completed, you can drink the water.

6.2. INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR 1 WAY TAP
1. Choose the filter location under the sink. Fix the filter
head so that it is easily accessible for maintenance and
replacement.
2. Close the valve located at the outlet of the cold water
(image 4). Depending on how old is the house installation, there may be no outlet valve, so it will be necessary
to close the general stopcock of the house. Immediately
afterwards, relieve the pressure of the installation by
opening the tap of the sink and wait until water stops
coming out of it.

7. MAINTENANCE
6. The ESSENTIAL series equipment requires periodical
maintenance and it must be replaced when it exceeds
its service life or its estimated treatment capacity (in
function of the characteristics of the water and its use)
or at least once per year for hygienic reasons.
7. After long periods without using the filter (longer than
1 week), let 2 litres of water flow through the tap before
drinking the water.
