Installation Procedure

Connecting The System

1.  Refer to diagram (below) for correct plumbing of head. Cut the 

inlet line as required to accommodate the inlet/outlet of the 
neutraliser. ONLY use thread tape, as liquid sealants will cause 
deterioration of the plastic. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

2.  After the valve has been connected, remove the fill-port cap using 

the spanner provided. Add the neutralising media using a funnel 
(see individual model specifications for filling order), ensuring that 
it is no more than 2/3 full. Replace the fill-port cap.

Note:

 Overfilling the tank can result in excess undissolved media 

entering the line. You may have been supplied with more media than 
required, retain this for future replenishing.

3.  Adjust the bypass to allow water flow (refer to Page 13) and turn 

the water supply back on.

4.  The water will initially be ‘milky white’ in appearance. Flush the 

water through the system until all the air in the lines is expelled, 
or when the water runs clear.

5.  Installation is now complete, and your system is ready for use.

Note: 

The pH level can be adjusted using the mixing valve on NTX 

models to achieve the desired level. If the pH is initially over corrected 
this can be adjusted with a bypass valve by mixing untreated water 
with treated water to achieve the desired level (if installed). Testing 
can be done with a hand-held meter, Puretec PTE20 or similar (not 
included).
