HydroTap Installation and Operating Instructions
Page 15 of 20
The Zip HydroTap notifies when filter replacement is due. The default setting
is 6000 Ltrs, but this can be set in increments of 1000Ltr from 1000Ltr to
10000Ltrs. When a filter change is due, the Change Filter light will flash
white once a minute and remain so until reset. A filter status light is located
between the Red and Blue Lights on the tap head assembly.
Depending on local water quality conditions and usage, the filter may require
changing anywhere from 1000 Ltrs to 10000 Ltrs. You may also need to
replace the filter if you notice unpleasant odours or tastes.
Some water may drip from the filter head (socket) during replacement. Keep a
towel handy to dry up any drips.
To change the Filter:
1. Scroll through the screen menu to “Filter Flush Off” this isolates the water
supply.
2. Open the left door or on the compact model, remove the front cover by
lifting the locking tab as shown in photo along side and lift off to expose
the filter.
3. Relieve system pressure via the filter flush stop cock, a quick open and
close will do. Use the bucket to catch the discharge.
4. Grasp filter cartridge, depress the red lever and rotate the cartridge a
quarter turn to the left and gently pull down.
Caution:
a small amount of
water will drip as the cartridge is removed.
5. Do not tilt the cartridge as water may spill from it if tilted.
6. Unpack replacement cartridge, remove sanitary cap and write today’s date
where shown on the label.
7. Avoid touching the filter O-rings and filter opening as this may cause
bacterial contamination of the cartridge.
8. Moisten the O-rings with water, align the front cartridge label to the left (as
shown in the “insert filter” diagram for filter cartridge replacement), and
push the new cartridge into the filter head.
9. Turn the cartridge a quarter turn to the right until the cartridge comes
to complete stop and is locked into position, with the front label facing
forward.
10. Locate the filter flush hose situated behind the filter cartridge and
direct the hose into a container ready for flushing. Open the filter flush
stop-cock. On the control panel press adjust , this will start the water
flow, flushing the cartridge. Allow at least 12 litres of water through the
cartridge before use, to activate the filter. Isolate the filter flush stop-cock
and re-fit behind the filter cartridge. Now press the adjust to stop the
flow. (It may take approximately 3 minutes to flush the 12 litres.)
11. Wipe up any spills and dispose of spent filter cartridge and packaging
thoughtfully.
12. Scroll through the menu to “Litres Filtered”, press adjust to reset litre
counter. Press adjust and it asks “are you sure”. Press adjust again
to lock in the command.
13. Scroll through the menu to “Filter Used (Days)”, press adjust to reset
the timer. Press adjust and it asks “are you sure”. Press adjust again
to lock in the command. After approx 10 seconds it will default to the
selected mode.
