WARNING:  INSTALLATION IN AREAS WITH MAINS PRESSURE ABOVE 3 BAR

In areas with a mains pressure above 3 bars, the pressure reducer supplied with the kit MUST be 
installed to prevent damage to the equipment. The pressure reducer must be installed directly 
onto the mains supply tap, to ensure the water pressure on the pre-filtration unit does not exceed 
the 3 bar maximum. The screw/push in connector must be attached to the low pressure side of 
the pressure reducer.

WARNING: INSTALLATION IN AREAS WITH LOW WATER PRESSURE

In installations where the pressure on the input side of the purification unit is below 1,5 bar, it is 
RECOMMENDED to install a feed pressure pump that provides an input pressure between 1,5 and 
3 bar.

1. CONNECTING THE WATER MAINS TO THE FILTRATION UNIT

A threaded (G 3/4”) connector is supplied in the kit to connect the system to the water supply.
If the water supply has another connection, a suitable coupling must be sourced locally.
The filtration unit can be connected directly to the feed water line, we advise to mount a closing 
faucet for maintenance use. Make sure the hoses does not apply any lateral or axial forces on 
components when installed. Make sure the connections are watertight.

2. CONNECTING THE PRE-FILTRATION UNIT TO THE PURIFICATION UNIT

The outlet connection of the filtration unit and water intake connection of the purification unit are 
both ¾”  connectors.

3. CONNECTING THE AQUABLU PRO TO THE WATER DRAINAGE 

A threaded (G 3/4”) / push-in connector is supplied in the kit to connect the system to the drain.
If the drain system has another connection, a suitable coupling must be sourced locally. In either 
case, a length of 10 mm diameter hose must be securely fitted to the push-in coupling side of the 
coupling. The other end of the hose must be securely fitted to the push-in coupling of the reject 
water port of the purification unit.

INSTALLATION GUIDE 1 - DIRECT FLOW

 
4a. CONNECTING AQUABLU PRO TO MINERAL CARTRIDGE 

Only follow this step if you have purchased an additional mineral cartridge with your Aquablu 
Pro. Connect the Aquablu pro with a 15 mm hose using a threaded G 3/4” M - 15 mm push-in 
connector. Use a 15 - 12 mm converter to connect the Aquablu Pro with the mineral cartridge.

5a. CONNECTING THE MINERAL CARTRIDGE TO FAUCET

The mineral cartridge has a build in 15 mm push - in connector. Cut a piece of 15 mm hose long 
enough to connect the mineral cartridge with the faucet. To connect the hose to the faucet you 
need a 15 mm - 8 mm diameter converter and a 5/16” M - 5/16” F connector. For instruction of 
installing the faucet please follow the faucet installation guide.
