Whole House Water Filtration Systems

Introduction

Guidelines and Warnings

•   Where line pressure exceeds recommended max pressure on housing label a 

pressure limiting valve must be installed. Protect the housing from water hammer.

•   Use on water only up to 52°C. For installation over 52°C please enquire as to a 

suitable housing. Protect the housing from freezing.

•   Avoid installing in direct sunlight.

•   Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of pipe sealants will void 

warranty. 

•   Do not overtighten. Too much tape or over tightening may cause head to split.

•   For point of entry installations an approved dual check backflow prevention device 

must be fitted in accord with national plumbing product codes.

•   Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown 

quality without adequate disinfection.

•   This product must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a 

licensed plumber.

Positioning your Filter

Choose a location where any water spillage will not cause damage. Make sure 

mounting position is solid so that the filter housing stays in position when changing 
filters. An isolation valve may be installed immediately prior to the filter to isolate the 
filter for changing the cartridge.
