13. Re-setting the Pillar Tap indicator light or changing
the battery – see figure 12
When the ceramic filter has been changed the Pillar Tap indicator light will
need to be re-set. To re-set the indicator light or change the battery, follow
the steps below. It is recommended that a new pillar tap battery is fitted
every 12 months
13.1 Remove the battery holder by pulling out from the underside of the pillar
tap operating lever
13.2 Remove the battery
13.3 Re fit the new battery or if you are just re-setting the indicator light put
the old battery back in. The led light on the circuit board will flash red then
blue
13.4 Push the battery holder into the underside of the pillar tap operating lever,
ensure the light on the circuit board aligns with the light lens. The indicator
light is now re-set for use with the new ceramic filter, when the pillar tap is
operated the indicator light flashes ‘blue’
11. Servicing/Replacing the ceramic filter (E) –
see figure 10
11.1 Grip the textured rim of the grey filter cap
(C)
, twist to the ‘unlock’ position,
taking care not to trap fingers and pull down to disengage.
Note: If the filter has had little use prior to servicing, twist the
grey filter cap (C) to the ‘V’ vent position and open the pillar tap
(to relieve pressure in the filter) twist the grey cap to the ‘unlock’
position and pull down to disengage the filter whilst the pillar tap
remains open
11.2 The water supply is automatically turned off when the filter is dismantled.
Note: If the filter is to be left unattended whilst dismantled for an
extended period of time (i.e. over 1 hour) then the upstream mains
water supply should be turned off
11.3 Take the filter cartridge to the sink – remembering that it is still full of
water
11.4 Unscrew the grey filter cap
(C)
to remove the filter body and empty the
water into the sink,
taking care not to contaminate the open ended
neck of the filter cap with unfiltered water
11.5 Unscrew the ceramic filter
(E)
from the grey filter cap
(C)
.
Note: Care
must be taken to prevent contamination of the neck of the filter
cap and ceramic filter mount stem
11.6 Replace ceramic filter or clean as described in section 12 and then wash
your hands. Note: If replacing with a new ceramic filter, prepare the filter
for use as described in section 9 or as per the Operating and Exchange
Instructions supplied with the replacement ceramic filter
11.7 The used ceramic filter can be wrapped in a plastic bag or newspaper for
disposal with your household waste
12. Cleaning the ceramic filter – see figure 11
Due to filtration of particulate contaminants from the water during use, the
flow of water from the filter may reduce over a period of time. To restore
flow to its normal level simply clean the ceramic filter as follows:
12.1 Hold the ceramic filter in a bowl of water or under running water.
Ensure that the open ended plastic mount is clear of the water to avoid
contamination
12.2 Take a clean kitchen scouring pad in one hand and cup it around the
circumference of the ceramic filter at the top next to the mount. Press
gently onto the ceramic filter surface with the scouring pad, whilst quickly
turning the filter with the other hand
12.3 Apply a gentle even pressure with the pad and slowly work down the
length of the ceramic filter once. Ensure that the cleaning is uniform over
the whole filter
