NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch [19 mm] female garden hose
couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP‐ON OR CLAMP‐ON CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when
the Vortex M6 is not being used.
NOTE: Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square
inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 827 kPa] static pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch [138 kPa] will cause an extended
fill time in the Vortex M6
3.4.3.1
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials
that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is
especially important when installing your Vortex M6 in a newly
constructed or renovated building. Build‐up may have occurred
during construction.
3.4.3.2
Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens
from the accessories bag.
3.4.3.3
Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown. The
screen must be facing outward.
3.4.3.4
Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water
faucets until they are finger‐tight. Use the red color‐coded
hose for the hot water connection and the blue color‐coded
hose for the cold water connection.
3.4.3.5
Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
3.4.3.6
Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the water
mixing valve until they are finger‐tight. Make sure the red
color‐coded hose from the hot water faucet goes to the water
mixing valve marked “H” and the blue color‐coded hose from
the cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”.
3.4.3.7
Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
