Where an aerator is fitted to the outlet of the spout, it will need occasional cleaning.
This will be evident when the water flow slows down to an unacceptable level. To accomplish
this unscrew the outlet in an anti-clockwise direction and remove the mesh. Immerse the mesh
in a suitable descaling fluid overnight, rinse throughly in clean water and re-install.
Maximum water supply pressure
5 bar (75PSI)
Minimum water supply pressure
0.5 bar
Maximum hot water supply temperature
70˚C
Recommended hot water supply temperature
65˚C
If these temperatures or water pressure are exceeded, damage to the tap can result. A pressure
reducing valve may be required to be fitted in high water pressure situations.
PREPARATION
We strongly recommend installing particle filters and isolation valves to both hot and cold feeds.
This will help to prevent premature failure of valves and make any future maintenence easier.
Flush the plumbing system before installing the mixer tap. This is to void plumbing residues
clogging the mesh of the aerated outlet, or possibly damaging the valve’s washers. This is
especially important where extensive plumbing work has been carried out.
First shut off your water heating system then, with your mains stop cock closed, open the lowest
hot and cold taps in the house and allow to run until the cold storage tank and pipes are empty.
(The hot water storage cylinder always remains full).
INSTALLATION
It is very important that you read through the following instructions
BEFORE you install and use the tap.
Screw the flexi-tails into the mixer body, and fully hand tighten. Do not attach the filter tail in till the
tap has been passed through the tap hole, as it will be tight getting the tails through the tap hole.
Pass the rubber washer over the flexi-tails and threaded stud to form a seal on sink top with the tap
plinth.
Pass the flexi-tails and fixing stud through the sink top from above and place the mixer in position on
the sink.
Slide the flat washer and fixing nut up the flexi tails, and then screw the nut all the way up making
sure the tap is in the correct position.
It is recommended that 15mm x 15mm compression fitting be used to connect mixer to supply pipes.
Install the twist lock head to the cupboard carcass leaving adequate room to remove the filter.
Screw in the push fit connectors, part (L9S025N) making sure the rubber gasket is used; into the in
and outlet lines as labelled.
Cut ¼'' tube into two pieces, adequate so that it reaches your filter head. Simply push the tubes into
the filter head holding the little tab back. Do the same into the push fit connectors part (L9S025N).
Install the twist lock cartridge.
Having first checked all the new connections, turn on the mains stop cock, close all taps except the
new mixer and as the system starts to refill check for leaks.
FOR BEST RESULTS
Run off around 5 litres of water from the filter line prior to drinking.
Reduce the cold water flow so that the filter line works at around 2 litres per minute. This will
maximise the filter contact time in the filter.
The filter must be changed at least every 12 months. We suggest changing the cartridge every 6
months in normal household usage (filter life 4000 litres usage).
USING OTHER FILTERS / WATER SOFTENING SYSTEMS
This tap uses a recirculation method, so softened water systems cannot be installed in conjunction
as it will contaminate the filter water. Other filter systems can be used but you will have to follow the
same connection method as shown in the diagram.
