Warranty

The Finsbury Countertop Water Filter system is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of 3 years. Warranty on consumable products such as filters does not apply.

The warranty is expressly limited to the replacement/repair of any part or parts proving defective providing
the installation and operation has been fully in accordance with these instructions and all relevant plumbing
codes and standards. The warranty shall be voided by mechanical damage caused during installation or
neglect. Failure to utilise Finsbury Water Filter branded filters will result in your warranty being null and
void. Failure to comply with scheduled filter changes may result in your warranty being void.

• This system can only filter water between 4 - 38 °C. Do not filter hot water.

• In the beginning, the filtered water may have small black carbon particles
released from the filter. This is normal with no negative health effects. Use
this preliminary dark water for watering or cleaning.

• If the filtered water develops an odour, please replace the filter immediately.

• Please store spare filters in a cool and dry place.

• If required, plumbing tape may be used to secure water tight fitting and
prevent possible leaking.

* In order to maintain optimum filtration, it is recommended to replace

filter after 3000 Litres or 6 months. Because water quality and volume of
consumption varies, filter service life changes.

Contents Installation

Connecting counter top filter

If the thread on the end of your faucet is on the inside, screw in the wider

diameter of the supplied hexagonal thread adapter (8) into faucet end and
hand tighten. Otherwise proceed to step 3.

3

Screw on the chrome plated faucet end (7) either onto the hexagonal thread

adapter or directly onto faucet end. Hand tighten.

4

Unscrew the round threaded nut (9) off the inlet spout on the chrome

plated faucet end and attach to one end of the hose (5), ensuring the open
end of the nut is facing towards faucet end.

5

Push hose firmly onto inlet spout nipple (10) until it is sitting flush against

thread. secure by hand tightening the round threaded nut.

6

Remove blue locking clip from the filter unit inlet (11) and connect other end

of hose into the filter unit inlet hole until it stops. Apply the blue locking clip
into the inlet to secure hose.

Operating instructions

7

When the control valve (12) on the chrome plated faucet end is in the

down position, the water from the faucet will come directly from the faucet
(unfiltered).

8

When the control valve is rotated 90 degrees, the water will pass through

the two stage filtration unit. Check for leaks and adjust if necessary.

9

Let the system run for a few minutes to flush the filter cartridges.

10

Allow the system to stand for 2 to 3 hours and then flush again for several

minutes. The system now is operational. Water flow reduction usually
indicates clogging of filter cartridges. Filter cartridge should be changed
based on filter changing instructions. The service life will vary due to water
quality and usage.
