INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE
PLEASE NOTE FOLLOWING FOR INSTALLATION OF
THIS SYSTEM
•
HOSE FITTINGS & HEX ADAPTER WITH SEALING
O-RING
The braided pex hose and hex adapter are fitted
with a sealing o-ring – teflon tape / joining
compound is not required for this fitting. Check
the fitting to ensure the o-ring is in place and not
damaged. Ensure the inlet thread and mounting
surface are smooth and clean. O-ring grease may
be applied to the o-ring as required. Tighten until
the o-ring contacts the surface of the filter head
assembly inlet and outlet, then further tightened
by 0.5 turns to reach approx 3.5 nm of force to
compress the o-ring and effect a seal.
DO NOT
USE A SEALING TAPE OR A JOINING COMPOUND
WHEN CONNECTING THE HOSES AND/OR
ADAPTER TO THE HEAD ASSEMBLY.
• MAXIMUM WATER PRESSURE – PRODUCT
WARRANTY
Australian standards call for a maximum water
pressure of 500 kpa for plumbing installations.
Having water pressure above 500 kpa may damage
connected products including water filters and
will void the product warranty. If water pressure
exceeds 500 kpa a watermark approved pressure
limiting valve must be installed at the same time
as installing the water filter system.
• When installing this filter system in a new home or
bathroom please ensure that the cold water lines
under the sink are flushed to remove all debris
within the pipes, before installation of the water filter
system.

2. Ensure that the cold water at mains supply is
turned off
Where an existing tap and connections are already
installed - after you have turned off the mains cold
water at the mini cistern tap, open the bathroom /
mixer tap and release any water pressure.
Unscrew the braided flex hose from the existing
cold water line mini cistern tap or isolation valve.
Clean the ½” male water connection thread.
3. Undersink Mounting Position
As you will note from the associated diagram,
this Inline Filter System can be installed in either
the horizontal or vertical position. Horizontal is
preferable.
a)
Horizontal Position
Measure 335mm horizontally, and mark the
mounting location for the side of the Filter
Head Assembly and end of the filter cartridge.
Make sure there is adequate space to avoid
crimping the water line flex hoses. Also make
sure your chosen location offers easy access
for future cartridge changes.
b)
Vertical Installation
Measure 335mm from the base of the cabinet (or
shelf), and mark the mounting location for the top
of the Filter Head Assembly. Make sure that there
is adequate space to avoid crimping the water line
flex hoses. Also make sure your chosen location
offers easy access for future cartridge changes.
4. Important - If necessary you can easily change
the direction of the flow of water through the inlet
and outlet of the filter system. You will notice on
the head assembly that the inlet is shown by the
word “IN” and the outlet is shown by the word
“OUT”. To change direction, simply remove the
four (4) screws that hold the mounting bracket to
the head assembly and replace/refit the mounting
bracket in the opposite direction. This allows
flexibility when choosing the desired location for
your filter system.
a) Take the Pex Hose 3/8” male connection (item
5) and screw this connection to the inlet side
of the Filter Head Assembly (item 1). This hose
fitting has a sealing o-ring and does not require
plumbing tape or compound to be applied to
create the seal (do not use).You will notice on
the head assembly that the inlet is shown by
the word “IN” and the outlet is shown by the
word “OUT”.
Owners Manual
b) Take the Brass Hex Nipple with o-ring (item 6)
and screw this connection into the outlet side
of the filter head (item1). This brass fitting has
a sealing o-ring and does not require plumbing
tape or compound to be applied to create the
seal (do not use).
IMPORTANT: Plumbing tape and/or sealing
compounds shall not be used as item 5 and
item 6 have a sealing o-ring. Use of thread
tape or sealing compounds may result in
damage to the filter head resulting in product
failure and water leaks and will void the
product warranty if used.
c) Securely mount the Filter Head Assembly
(item 1) on the cabinet wall using two of the
mounting screws (item 3) provided. The filter
head will be installed vertically or horizontally
depending upon your desired location.
5. Connect Dual Check Valve – (item 4)
IMPORTANT – It is a legal requirement under
Australian Plumbing Standards that the Dual
Check Valve be installed. If this part is not
installed all warranties are null and void.
Apply plumbing tape (item 9) to the ½” male water
connection cistern tap fitting before screwing on
the dual check valve (item 4).
6. Attach Pex Hose (item 5)
Connect the ½” female end of the Pex Hose
(item 5) - to the ½” male end of the Dual Check
valve (item 4) as shown in the diagram.
7. Attach Filtered Water to Cold Water Line of
Bathroom Tap
Take the braided flex hose that is attached to the
bathroom tap and screw the 1/2” female end of
the braided flex hose onto the hex nipple (outlet
side of filter head).
8. Install Filter Cartridge (item 2)
a) Hold Filter Head (item 1) firmly with one hand.
b) Align cartridge notches with filter head.
c) Insert Filter Cartridge (item 2) and push into
filter head assembly (item 1).
d) Turn it to the right (about 1/4 turn) until it stops.
9. Flush the Filter Cartridge
a) Turn water supply back on at either the mains
or at the cold water mini cistern tap.
b) At this stage check for leaks and fix if
necessary
c) Turn bathroom tap on and flush the filter
cartridge for at least 2–3 minutes. Collect
water in container and use for garden etc.
NOTE – Flushing the filter cartridge is important to
remove air from the system and any loose carbon
powder. At first the water may appear cloudy due
to compressed trapped air in the filter and hoses.
However the cloudiness will disappear over time and
with use.
NOTES
1) This installation must comply with all applicable
state and local regulations.
2) Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of an unknown quality without
disinfection before or after the system.
3) When storing filtered water in a refrigerator
please ensure the container has an air tight seal.
