Filter replacement
Changing 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 3). 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.
• 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 drip from the filter head during the replacement process so it is
a good idea to have a bucket and towel handy to catch and mop up any spills.
•
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.
•
Write the date of replacement on the new filter cartridge label.
• Remove the protective plastic cap. The insertion method is the opposite to the
removal method. Align the tabs of the replacement cartridge with the filter head
and insert it up into the filter head.
• Turn the replacement cartridge a quarter turn anti-clockwise until it stops and
locks into position.
•
When the filter replacement has been completed successfully dispense water
from the tap until it flows without any further spluttering. Run the water for at
least 2 minutes more to fully purge the filtration system.
