Introduction
Guidelines and Warnings
• Pressure: 200 - 875 kPa. Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved
pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New
Zealand Plumbing Standards.
• Protect the housing from water hammer.
• Use on cold water line only (with water 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 accordance 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.
Installation Note
: A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life
and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen
circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly
examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan,
plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in
those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water
supply should be turned off if no one is home/present.
INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER. FAULTY
OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED
WARRANTY COVERAGE.
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.
