cartridge replacement cycle
The recommended filter cartridge change cycle is 6 months.
important
:
The period between cartridge replacements is not
guaranteed; it is an estimate based on filtering mains water of
average quality. Please bear in mind that water quality varies from
locality to locality and situation to situation. In areas with higher
than average turbidity (particle contamination) more frequent
cartridge changes may be necessary.
Before you begin.
No special tools are required for this operation.
All you will need is a suitable receptacle to catch any spillage and
a cloth or a sponge handy. A rubber glove is provided to hold the
wet cartridge.
Lubricating the rubber seals.
For ease of assembly we
recommend that a film of silicone grease is applied to the filter
housing ‘O’ Seal at least every other cartridge change to maintain
the smooth operation of the unit.
important note:
Only a WRAS
approved silicon lubricant should be used for this purpose. Small
tubes of a WRAS approved silicon grease can be purchased from
Franke FilterFlow at

disposing of the Spent cartridge.
You may dispose of the
cartridge in your normal household waste. Both the ceramic and
carbon components of the Franke 02 & Franke 01 cartridges are
biodegradable. You are welcome to return either the plastic parts
or the complete cartridge to Franke FilterFlow for recycling.
Should you decide to return the cartridge please allow it to dry
naturally and return it in the original packaging.
1.
Locate the shut-off valve
and turn off the mains water
supply to the filter housing.
4.
Hold the housing over
the bowl and continue to
unscrew sump. Carefully
remove the sump and
empty the water it
contains. Set it to one
side. Unscrew the filter
cartridge and discard it.
7.
Turn the water supply ‘on’ and check the system carefully for
leaks. Leave the filter tap in the ‘on’ position and allow the water
to run for a minimum of 10 minutes to flush the system. Check the
flow rate. We recommend no more than 30 seconds a litre for
optimum performance. If the flow is too fast it can be regulated by
adjusting the stop valve.
6.
Screw the sump to the head
and tighten it firmly. Re-mount
the assembled housing on the
two retaining screws.
5.
Screw the new cartridge in to
the head. Tighten it firmly to
make a seal. Do not over tighten
as this may cause the threaded
section to shear.
2.
Activate the filtered water
lever to “ON” to release the
pressure in the system. Leave
the tap in the on position.
important note
. If the tap is
not left on the pressure trapped
in the system will make it
impossible to unlock the filter
housing sump from the head.
3.
Have a bowl to hand. Grip the
sump firmly and turn it to the left,
just sufficient to break the seal.
Lift the filter housing assembly off
its two supporting screws.
