The product is for indoor use only and must not be exposed to the elements of nature.
All plumbing connections must be made in accordance with AS/NZS3500.
Before installing, ensure there is cold water supply with a minimum working pressure of 70 kPa and a
maximum working pressure of 700 kPa. (A 350 kPa limiting pressure valve is supplied)
Cold water supplied must not exceed 38°C.
Hot water supplied to the mixer must not exceed 70°C.
Installation Instructions
Install the Filter
The filter (A) should be mounted as close as
possible to the front of the cupboard, to allow for
ready and easy access during filter changes.
1. Usually the side of the cupboard, near the
door, is most suitable.
2. Using the two screws provided, screw the
filter head to the inside of the cupboard, allowing
260mm minimum between the underside of the
filtration head and any obstructions like shelves,
etc.

A
3. Write the installation date on the filter
cartridge. Fit the cartridge into the housing. The
model you have may appear slightly different to
that illustrated, however, operation and function
is identical.
4. Align the tabs of the cartridge with the filter housing and insert it into the socket. Turn the cartridge a
quarter turn to the right until it stops and locks into position, see Filter Replacement section on page 5.
5. Check that the direction of flow on the filter head is correct.
Fit the PLV valve to a 1/2” nipple which connected to a 1/2” tee
piece as shown in Fig.2 connect to the cold water supply. (Teflon
plumbing tape required).
1/2” Tee piece
NOTE: the directional arrow is shown on the body of the valve.

Installation Instructions
Install the Filter Mixer Tap
1. Position the Filter Mixer Tap at the back of the sink where there
is a mimium 45 mm wide flat area. Make sure the selected position
allows the spout to overhang the sink bowl.
The cutout size is 35 mm. Mark the centre of the new filter mixer tap
position on the sink with a centre punch.
Fig.3
2. Drill out the centre of the hole to allow the screw of a sheet metal
punch to pass through the sink. Use a 35 mm sheet metal hole
punch to neatly open up the hole.
3. Remove the nut and washer from the base of the Filter Mixer Tap,
and pass the hoses through the sink until the Filter Mixer Tap sits
upright within the hole you just created in the sink surround. When
fitting to a thin work surface use the white plastic stabilising clamp
supplied, to improve the support of the tap.
4. Orientate the Filter Mixer Tap so that the activating levers are
parallel to the wall of the kitchen. Slide on the washer and nut from
beneath the sink, and tighten the nut to secure the Filter Mixer Tap
firmly into place.
5. One blue braided and one red braided hose hangs from the bottom
of the Filter Mixer Tap. The blue braided hose connects to the tee
piece, which is connected to the mains isolation valve for cold water,
see Fig.3. The red braided hose connects to the mains isolation valve for
hot water.

6. Screw the brass connector with JG fitting into the remaning outlet
on the bottom of the mixer tap.
7. Connect one of the stem ended braided hose from the PLV valve to
the inlet of the filter head, see Fig.4.
8. Connect the other stem ended braided hose from the outlet of the
filter head to the straight JG connector at the bottom of the Filter Mixer
Tap (see Fig.3 & Fig.4).
Take care, when bending braided hoses, to prevent it from kinking
or crushing on a bend. Please be careful to ensure the colour and
connection of the braided hoses on the Filter Mixer Tap are correct.
Do not connect the hoses in any other arrangement than that described
here. The filter cartridge and the Filter Mixer Tap have directional
flow connections that will not work if connected incorrectly. Incorrect
installation will void any product warranty.
NOTE: the flow direction of the filter housing is indicated on the filter
housing, see Fig.4.

John Guest fittings
Insertion and removal details for JG fittings using plastic tubing.
1. Cut the tube squarely with a sharp knife or tube cutter. Shake out
and remove any swarf or debris.
2. Push this end of the blue tube firmly into the John Guest socket on the
(lower) outlet side of the filter head. It must push in at least 10 mm.
3. Test the connection by trying to pull the tube out. If it comes out,
re-insert it so that it won’t come out when pulled against.
4. To remove the tube, press the collet into the fitting and at the same
time pull back on the tube.

Installation Instructions
Fill the system
1. Turn on the water supply. Check the connections for leaks. Repair
any found.
The filter and tubing are full of air until purged, and the filter cartridge
requires flushing when first installed.
2. Open the Filter Water lever on the Filter Mixer Tap for a minimum of
five minutes, until all of the air has been purged from the system, and
the filter cartridge has time to become fully flushed (10L).
Every time the filter cartridge is replaced, repeat this procedure of a
five minute flush to flush the new cartridge properly.
NOTE: When flushing the system, some black particles may be
released into the water. This is normal. The water will become clear
after the first few litres.

Filter Replacement
Not changing cartridges when required may cause the water to become
biologically unsafe.
Thoroughly flush the water through, if the Filter Mixer Tap has not been
used for more than 12 hours. For safe operation, the filter cartridge
should be replaced at least every 6-12 months, or earlier if you notice a
persistent reduction in water pressure from the tap, or an unpleasant
taste or odour in the water. Use only a Zip filter cartridge to match that
of your Filter Mixer Tap. Replacement cartridges can be obtained through
plumbing suppliers or directly from Zip.
Replacing a Zip Filtration cartridge is as easy as 1-2-3.
1. Unplug the old cartridge
2. Plug in the new cartridge.
3. Purge the filter system by flipping the Filter Mixer Tap lever open (on)
for a few minutes until the water runs clear (10l).

High sediment water areas.
Zip Filter Mixer Tap 94574 is a single filter system suitable for areas
in which water supply sediment is not a problem. In areas with heavy
sediment contamination, you may wish to replace your 0.2 micron filter
with a 3 micron filter, at first filter change. Refer to page 7 for cartridge
kit numbers.
Operating Procedures

1. INSERT
2. ROTATE
Fig.8
You can obtain filtered water (within the rated capacity for) as
long as you rotate the lever.
In the upright position the tap is off.
For filtered water, rotate filtered water lever 90° forward as
shown in Fig.9.
For mixed water, first open the Mixer by swinging the lever 25°
away from the cenre, then rotate 45° forward or reverse from
vertical axis.
Water will continue to flow until the lever is returned to the
upright position.
