Drawing and Instructions, to provide Dual Check
Backflow Prevention, Pressure Limiting and Anti-
Hammer Protection to the Purification System and
existing installation. This valve is fitted with a Particle
Removal Screen on the inlet side of the valve to protect
the intricate mechanism from debris that may be in the
incoming water supply. This screen must NOT be
discarded for any reason and should be replaced if
damaged during installation. Failure to comply with this
requirement will void Warranty.
6.
To maintain the highest levels of purity and water
quality, we recommend that the faucet be turned on and
the Water Storage Tank be completely emptied at least
once each month. The purifier will then require several
hours to refill the tank, ready for use.
7.
Should the Purification System not be used for two days
or more, flush one (1) to two (2) litres of water through
the system before consuming the water.
8.
To maintain the high level of performance and protection
provided by the APRO13212 Reverse Osmosis Water
Purification System,
only use Aqua-Pure replacement
cartridges, model AP117R and a maximum cartridge
life of 6 months.
The life and performance of cartridges
may vary, depending on the volume and quality of the
incoming water being purified. An indication that your
cartridges may need replacing is reduced volume or flow
from the purifier faucet, or the return of taste and/or odour
to the purified water.
If reduced volume or flow is the only symptom this may also
be caused by the Particle Removal Screen in the Multi
Function Control Valve being blocked with debris from the
incoming water supply. To check this possibility, remove the
Multi Function Control Valve and visually inspect the inlet
Particle Screen. If the Particle Screen needs to be cleaned,
remove it from the valve body and flush with water. Refer to
section 5 above and 2 (d&e) below for more information. Do
not damage the screen by poking, scraping or scrubbing. If
you cannot clean by flushing with water, replace with a new
Aqua-Pure 98226 Particle Removal Screen. These are
available from your Aqua-Pure Retailer.
Alternatively, you can also check if the screen is blocked by
turning off the water supply at the Purifier Isolation Tap (16)
mounted on the end of the Multi Function Control Valve (17).
Remove the WHITE tube from the purifier inlet push-in
connection [14 (A)] by simply pushing the collet around the
tube, where it enters the fitting, back into the fitting and
pulling gently on the tubing at the same time. If the tube is
long enough hold this end into the sink or a container and then
turn the Purifier Isolation Tap (16) to the fully on position and
check that there is a good water pressure and flow. If the
volume and flow of water from the tubing is suspect, inspect
the screen as outlined above.
The above indication of the requirement for
cartridge replacement is only applicable to establish an
earlier cartridge replacement period than the maximum
period of 6 months. Irrespective of the above, your
cartridges must be changed regularly on a 6 monthly basis to
protect and provide the expected life of the Membrane on
your purifier and to remove accumulated contaminants from
the system.
Select a suitable area where you intend mounting the Water
Purifier, this would preferably be under a sink, as a water
supply connection and a waste or drain connection is required.
Consideration also needs to be made for housing the Water
Storage Tank.
For more detailed information, refer to Section
5 below -
Mounting The Purification System.
The Plumbing Installation Kit supplied with the APRO13212
Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System provides an
assortment of plumbing fittings, which should allow easy
installation on standard configurations of undersink plumbing.
After identifying a suitable location, the next step of the
installation procedure is to obtain a water supply for the
purification system.
This Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier requires a water supply
with a minimum pressure of 60psi (413kPa) to perform
satisfactorily. If the water supply pressure drops to around
40psi (275) the purifier will not deliver any purified water.
Test the water pressure at the installation site preferably at a
time of high local water consumption, prior to proceeding any
further with the installation. If you believe the pressure
reading obtained at this time, may not be an accurate
indication of a higher local demand in peak water usage
periods. We recommend that you endeavour to estimate a
possible allowance for increased water usage, as the incoming
water pressure is crucial for the correct operation and
performance of this purifier. We have a Water Pressure Gauge
in our range, part number WPG-PT750 to perform this water
pressure test, which can be ordered through your
AQUA-PURE Dealer.
Check the plumbing configuration under the sink and select
which of the following installation methods is best suited for
this installation.
