Install the Filter:
1. Find a suitable place to mount the filter cartridge (C7) under the sink,
it must be mounted vertically
, easily accessible (to be
changed periodically), away from any heat source or electrical connections and close enough not to exceed the available length of
the ¼” plastic pipe (B4,C4,C8) supplied to reach the between the tap, filter and boiler (place the boiler temporarily to help judge the
required lengths of ¼” plastic pipe).
2. Using the self-tapping screw (C6) securely fix the filter bracket (C5) to the cabinet wall.
3. Write the installation date onto the filter label in permanent pen.
4. Clip the filter cartridge (C7) into the bracket (C5) as shown.
You must respect the direction of flow as indicated on the filter cartridge (C7).
5. Measure and then cut required length of ¼” pipe (C4) to connect pushfit (C3) to the filter cartridge (C7) outlet, allow a small amount
of extra length to make it easier to change the filter.
6. Firmly push connect the ¼” pipe (C4) between pushfit (C3) and filter cartridge outlet (C7).
7. Measure and then cut required length of ¼” pipe (C8) to connect pushfit (C9) to the filter cartridge (C7) inlet, allow a small amount
of extra length to make it easier to change the filter.
8. Firmly push connect the ¼” pipe (C8) between pushfit (C9) and filter cartridge inlet (C7).
9. Firmly push connect the remaining ¼” pipe (B4) into pushfit (B3).
After installation of the tap and filter is complete
1. Ensure that the isolating Tee valve (G7) is in the closed position as shown.
2. Close (turn off) both handles on the tap.
3.
Reconnect the domestic hot and cold water supplies and open hot and cold isolatio
valves (G1). As the system starts to refill, check carefully all new water connections
for leaks. After the product installation is complete we recommend you recheck for
any slower leaks.
⚠
It is normal for new filter cartridges to lose a small amount of loose carbon when first used and will dissipate with flushing, whilst
harmless to consume if the carbon particles are not flushed prior to connection to the boiler they may partly block the boiler and reduce the
flow rate.
You must flush the filter for at least 2 litres with cold water or until the water become clear
(without black carbon
particles).
4. Ensure that the isolating Tee valve (G7) is in the open position as shown.
5. Place the ¼” pipe (B4) from the tap into a bowl or bucket.
6.
Turn on the 98°C forwards handle fully, keep the lever open until all air is expelled
and cold (filtered) water exits the ¼” pipe (B4) into the bowl, flush a minimum of a
further 2 litres of cold (filtered) water through the ¼” pipe (B4). You may notice a
discolouration to the water at first, this is loose carbon particles from the filter it is
normal, harmless and will pass with flushing. Continue to flush the filter until the
water runs clear. Once complete turn off the 98°C handle.
19. You can adjust the flow rate of the filtered water going to both the tap and boiler by adjusting the position of the blue lever on the
isolating Tee valve (G7), you should aim for approximately 1-2 litres for both cold filtered and boiled filtered water.

and filter.
