1. Selecting the Tap Location
(cont)
(A) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings,
parts, or tools from falling down drain and damaging sink disposal
unit if fitted.
(B) If sink is porcelain-coated, place masking tape over are to be drilled to
prevent excess chipping of enamel. Use a cone-shaped grinding wheel to
grind away a 3/4-inch diameter circle of porcelain before drilling.
WARNING:
Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
(C) Mark hole with center punch. Use a 6mm drill bit for a pilot hole, then
using a 12mm diameter bit, drill a hole completely through the sink or
worktop. Smooth rough edges with a file.
2. Mounting the Tap
(A) The tap should be positioned on a work surface adjacent to a sink
where the spout can properly discharge water into the basin.
(B) Using a pencil, mark the work surface to indicate the centre of the tap.
(C) Drill a 1/2” hole where marked on the work surface.
(D) Insert the black rubber washer into the base of the tap.
(E) Insert the threaded section of the tap body into the 1/2” hole.
(F) Assemble the washers and lock nut on the threaded section as over.
(G) Tighten the lock nut to prevent the tap moving. Do not over tighten.
(H) Ensure compression nut, ferrule and tub insert are positioned on the blue
flexible tubes shown over.
(I) Insert the open end of the blue flexible tube assembly into the base of the
threaded section of the tap.
(J) Tighten the compression nut to ensure a watertight seal.
Do not over tighten.
3. Installing the Saddle Valve
Before carrying out any installation TURN OFF THE WATER
SUPPLY AT THE MAIN STOP COCK.
• Place the saddle clamp on to the cold mains supply pipe to the kitchen
sink. Make sure that the
saddle
A is in place as shown in the diagram.
• Tighten the locking screw C to clamp the pipe securely.
• Turn the piercing screw B clockwise and fully home to puncture the pipe
.
•
Leave in this position until final assembly (see section 7)
4. Mounting the Filter System
(A)
Select location under sink where filter is to be mounted.
NOTE:
Allow 50 mm clearance below housing or 280mm below filter head
to enable filter cartridge changes.
CAUTION:
Filter head should be mounted on stud or firm surface. The
mounting bracket will support the weight of the filter and prevent the strain on
the cold water line.
(B)
Filter head should be mounted in vertical position, use mounting bracket
as a template to mark screw locations. Mount filter head in marked
location using screws.

To Attach Cartridge
5. Connecting the Saddle Valve & Tap Tube
to the Filter Head
The cartridge head tube fitting system is a push-fi t system where the tube
securing mechanism is integrated into the cartridge head itself.
First make sure the tube ends are clean. Just push the tube end squarely into
the joint housing in the cartridge head, until it hits the shoulder (approximately
10-15 mm) referring to the arrows on top of the housing to indicate flow
direction and that pipes are connected appropriately. (See image opposite)
Once the tube is in place, to confirm that the joint is secure, tug gently
backwards on the tube.
The tube should now be secure.
If for any reason you need to remove one of the tubes, press the blue
compression ring in the corresponding cartridge head housing inwards. This
should free the tube and allow easy removal.
6.
Installing the Cartridge
Hold cartridge from the bottom when installing or changing the cartridge.
Use caution not to scrape knuckles on bracket when locking the cartridge into
place. Line up the arrow on the cartridge with unlocked padlock on head.
Insert cartridge and turn arrow to locked padlock.
(See Diagram R4)
7.
Putting the Filter into Operation
• Open the quarter turn tap fully to allow for continuous fl ow, then slowly
turn the piercing screw B anti-clockwise allowing water to enter the
f
ilter
slowly and displace trapped air and loose particles.
• When the water runs clear, turn the piercing screw B anti-clockwise until
fully
open and the water fl ows at maximum rate,
(1.9 L/min).
• Allow water to fl ow through the system for around 15 minutes when fi rst
installed or when left unused for a prolonged period of time.
• Always fl ush for 10 seconds prior to use.
• Check for leaks before leaving installation. If it leaks, see Troubleshooting.
R. Filter Cartridge Replacement
NOTE
: It is recommended that the cartridge be replaced every six months, or
when you notice a change in taste, odour, or fl ow of the water being fi ltered.
(1) Turn off the water supply to the fi lter and dispense water from drinking
water tap until water fl ow stops to relieve pressure.
(2) Place towel under the system to catch any water drips.
(3) (a) Turn arrow from locked to unlocked position.
(b) Remove cartridge.
(4) (a) Line up arrow with unlocked position on head and insert cartridge.
(b) Turn to locked position.
(5) Turn on water and check for leaks. If it leaks, see Troubleshooting.
(6) Flush water through drinking water tap for 5 minutes to remove
carbon fi nes. Check for leaks before leaving installation. If it leaks,
see Troubleshooting.
