Maintenance
Filter battery replacement
Your Zip Chillmaster has a filter replacement reminder light that
shows through the front label. The 2 AAA reminder light batteries
(located on the inside of the front cover) must be replaced at the
same time as the filter. To remove the cover, undo the two
security fittings at the base of the cover with the supplied key.
Normal operation is for the light to flash once per minute. When
the filter cartridge is due for replacement, the indicating light will
flash once per second.

Removing the filter
For safe operation, the filter cartridge should be replaced at least every 6-12 months, or
earlier if you notice a persistent reduction in water pressure from the tap or an unpleasant
taste or odour in the water.
For safe operation, thoroughly flush the water through after periods of non-use longer than
12 hours.
Not changing the filter cartridges when required may cause the water to become
biologically unsafe.
Use only a Zip filter to match the one used in your system product (see Spare parts and
accessories page 5). The filter cartridge can be obtained through plumbing suppliers or
direct from Zip. The installation date should be written on the filter cartridge. No special
tools or skills are required to install the filter cartridge.
• Turn off the mains electricity supply.
• Locate the filter in the under-sink cupboard.
• Grasp the filter cartridge firmly and twist it horizontally a quarter turn clockwise until it
stops.
Some water will be expelled from the filter head during the replacement process so
it is important to cover the area below the filter, especially the electrical connections,
with a cloth or towel to catch and mop up the waste water.
Ensure that the electrical connections remain dry at all times.
• Gently ease the cartridge downwards to detach it from the filter head, then pull it out
and discard responsibly. Take care not to tip it up once free as water may spill out.
