figure 6
7.1 Measure and cut the tubing
(F)
to the length required to connect the inlet
port of the filter head
(A)
to the Tee adaptor

must be a minimum of 200 mm (8”). Take the cut length of tube and cut it
in half
7.2 Fit one end of each piece of tubing into the non return valve
(G)
7.3 Connect the non return valve
(G)
to the inlet port of the filter head
(A)

the Tee adaptor
(H)
with the tubing
(F)
. Ensure that the flow arrow on the
non return valve
(G)
is pointing in the direction of the filter head
(A)

(F)
to the length required to connect the outlet
port of the filter head
(A)
to the 7/16” adaptor
(K)
on the pillar tap
(L)
.
Connect the tube to the filter head outlet port and pillar tap
7.5 Check that the arrows on non return valve
(G)
and the ports of the filter
head
(A)
are pointing in the correct direction of flow – towards your pillar
tap
(L
) see figure 7
8. Check the system for leaks
For guidance on identification of system components see page 1 and
figure 1
8.1 With the pillar tap open, slowly turn on the mains water to allow the system
to fill gradually until all of the trapped air has been expelled from the
system
8.2 Check for leaks around the mains supply adaptors, non return valve, filter
head inlet and outlet ports and pillar tap adaptor. Also check for leaks
between the filter head, cap and filter body
8.3 If there are leaks from the adaptors, non return valve or filter head
ports:
•
Turn off the mains water supply
•
Open the pillar tap to release pressure from the system
•
Press in on the collar around the tubing where it enters the adaptor, see
figure 8
•
Pull the tubing to release it from the adaptor
•
Check to make sure that the tubing is cut square and that that it is not
scratched or crimped
•
If the tubing is unevenly cut or scratched, cut off the damaged section
squarely and re install the tubing
•
With the pillar tap open, slowly turn on the mains water to allow the system
to fill gradually
•
Check the system for leaks
8.4 If there are leaks from the filter head:
•
Turn off the mains water supply
•
Open the pillar tap to release pressure from the system
•
Remove the filter assembly, as described in section 6.2-6.3/figure 5a
•
Check the O-rings around the top of the grey filter cap
(C)
, ensure that
they are in place and free from dirt and particles, see figure 9
•
Re-fit the filter assembly, as described in section 6.8 -6.9/figure 5d
•
With the pillar tap open, slowly turn on the mains water to allow the system
to fill gradually
•
Check the system for leaks
8.5 If there are leaks from the filter cap and filter body:
•
Turn off the mains water supply
•
Open the pillar tap to release pressure from the system
•
Remove the filter assembly, as described in section 6.2-6.3/figure 5a
•
Unscrew the filter body
(D)
from the filter cap
(C)
•
Check the O-ring around the top of the filter body, ensure it is in place and
free from dirt and particles
•
Remove the ceramic filter
(E)
by unscrewing from the filter cap
(C)
and
place to one side ensuring that the open ended plastic mount is kept clean
to avoid contamination
•
Check the inside of the filter cap on the surface where the body O-ring
seals, ensure it is free from dirt and particles, see figure 9
•
Re fit the threaded ceramic filter and reassemble the filter as described in
section 6.6 – 6.9/ figures 5c & 5d
•
With the pillar tap open, slowly turn on the mains water to allow the system
to fill gradually
- Check the system for leaks
8.6 If there are leaks from the pillar tap adaptor:
•
Turn off the mains water supply
•
Open the pillar tap to release pressure from the system
•
Press in on the collar around the tubing where it enters the adaptor - See
figure 8
•
Pull the tubing to release it from the 7/16” tap adaptor
(K)
and unscrew
the adaptor from the stem of the pillar tap
•
Check that the black sealing washer is correctly seated in the threaded
hole of the tap adaptor
•
Make sure the black sealing washer is undamaged and free from dirt and
particles
•
Screw the tap adaptor
(K)
to the stem of the pillar tap - do not over tighten
•
Ensure sure that the tubing is cut square and it is not scratched or crimped
•
If the tubing is unevenly cut or scratched, cut off the damaged section
squarely and re install the tubing
•
With the pillar tap open, slowly turn on the mains water to allow the system
to fill gradually
•
Check the system for leaks
9. Prepare the filter for use
9.1 The pillar tap
(L)
has an indicator light to inform the user when the
ceramic filter requires changing. The light flashes ‘blue’ when the filtered
water tap is operated, if the light flashes ‘red’ the ceramic filter requires
changing. Remove the plastic battery protection strip from the underside
of the pillar tap operating lever to enable the filter replacement indicator
function, see figure 2
9.2 Open the pillar tap and run the water to waste for 10 minutes (or 15 litres)
9.3 Leave to stand for 24 hours to condition the ceramic filter, then run water
to waste for a further 10 minutes. The filter is now ready for use
10. Care and Cleaning
10.1 Use only soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the filter housing
and pillar tap, avoid the use of:
- Strong oxidising agents such as bleach or Milton solution
- All strongly acidic materials including descalents
- Strongly alkaline materials
10.2 Always ensure that the filter housing and pillar tap are thoroughly rinsed
and dried after cleaning
10.3 If used with hard water or water with very high mineral content it is
necessary to clean and dry the pillar tap after use, build up of calcium and
other minerals could seriously damage the surface of the tap
