Detailed guide to fitting the filter element - figures 2, 3, 4 & 5
1. Locate the filter in an upright position near to the incoming cold water supply and the user
tap/faucet.
2. Ensure that the connecting pipework will not have any sharp bends in it and allow at least
100mm (4”) of clearance below the assembled filter for removal of the cartridge to service
or replace -
see figure 2.
Mark the required head position for fixing.
3. Grip the grey filter cap, twist to the ‘unlock’ position -
see figure 3.
4. Pull down to disengage the filter cap from the head.
5. Fix the filter head to the unit or wall with the 3 screws provided.
6. Unscrew the filter body from the filter cap.
7. Open the filter and discard the protective bubble bag from the filter element.
8.
Screw the threaded element mount stem into the grey cap until washer resistance is felt.
Do not over-tighten - see figure 4.
9. Screw the white filter body into the grey filter cap until a positive stop is felt -
see figure 4.
Note:
The inside of the filter cap is greased. Before screwing together ensure no dirt or
particles are stuck to either the filter cap or filter body ‘O’ ring.
10. Align the arrows to the unlock position and push the assembled filter firmly into the head
until it clicks into position -
see figure 5.
11. Twist the white filter body until the locked position on the head is reached -
see figure 5.
12. Check that the arrows align to ensure that the filter is fully locked -
see figure 5

Select correct pipe for installation
The filter is supplied in either 3/8” or 1/4” push-fit versions to allow connection to your water
supply and faucet using either 3/8” or 1/4” flexible, medium density polyethylene tubing.
A user valve/faucet should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions in a
convenient position and then connected downstream of the filter. For advice on the tubing and
fittings required to connect your filter please contact a reputable dealer/agent.
Connecting the filter
Turn off the cold water supply and connect the inlet tubing to the inlet port of the filter. Connect
the outlet tubing to the other side of the filter -
see figure 6.
Check that the arrows on the ports
of the head are pointing in the correct direction of flow and that the tubing is pushed into the
fittings
to a minimum of 18mm (0.75”) depth
.
