Pre-installation preparation:
Remove the tap and filter from its packaging, check for any transport damage and that all parts are present.
•
Shut off the mains water supply; switch off the water heating system, and open hot and cold taps at the lowest point in the building. Allow them to run until empty.
•
•
Remove the old tap and prepare a 35mm diameter hole for the tap, note the tap must not pass through a surface thicker than 40mm.
•
Prepare the existing pipework so the hot and cold 15mm copper feed pipes finish below the tap base. Typically the hot water feed should be on the left hand side,
we recommend fitting isolation valves before the tap connections to ease any future maintenance. Any debris or swarf that may be in the feed pipes must be
flushed to prevent damage to the tap.
Stage 1 – install the tap:
1.
Screw the hollow fixing stud (F) into the base on the tap using a spanner or 6mm allen key. Note: the drawing identifies the water inlets, viewed from the base of
the tap.
2.
Screw the Cold and Hot tail pipes (J & K) into the base of the tap.
3.
Place the upper seal (B) on to the base of the tap (A).
4.
Place the tap centrally and straight to the tap hole, passing the hollow fixing stud (F) and tail pipes (J & K) through the sink.
5.
Pass the triangular plate (C), rubber horseshoe (D) then the metal horseshoe (E) over the hollow fixing stud (F).
6.
Using a spanner tighten fixing nut (G) onto the hollow fixing stud (F), a box spanner or small basin wrench will help if one is available.
7.
Place fibre washer (H) into adaptor (I), tighten the adaptor (I) with its flats nearest to the tap onto the hollow fixing stud (F).
8.
Attach the hot water tail pipe (J) to the water supply pipe using a 15mm compression nut and olive (not supplied).
9.
Attach the 3-way valve (11) to the cold water feed pipe using compression nut (9) and olive (10).
10.
Attach the 3-way valve (11) to the cold water inlet pipe (J) using a short length of 15mm pipe, compression nut and olive (not supplied).
Stage 2 – install the filter:
1.
Locate a convenient position to install the filter (6&7). Leave some room underneath the filter unit (7) to allow it to be changed.
2.
Screw the filter bracket (5) to the cupboard wall using screws (3).
3.
Screw bracket (5) to the filter head (6) using screws (4). Note: the filter head has numbers stamped into its top, number 3 is the unfiltered water inlet and number 1
is the filtered water outlet. The direction of flow is also marked.
4.
Write the date of installation onto the label on the filter cartridge (7)
5.
Insert the filter cartridge (7) into the filter head (6). Align the tabs at the top of the filter cartridge (7) with the gaps in the base of filter head (6), push the filter
cartridge (7) up into the filter head (6) then turn the filter cartridge (7) approximately 90° to lock it into place.
6.
Screw the pushfit fitting (1) into the adaptor nut (I).
7.
Cut the blue flexible pipe (2) so it is slightly longer than the required lengths to and from the filter unit. When cutting the pipe use a sharp Stanley or craft knife,
ensuring that the pipe is cut cleanly and square at all ends.
8.
Firmly push the blue pipe (2) apx. 12mm into the pushfit adaptor (8) then into the inlet (stamped 3) on the filter head (6).
9.
Firmly push the blue pipe (2) apx. 12mm into the pushfit fitting (1) then into the outlet (stamped 1) on the filter head (6).
Stage 3 – setting the tap up:
Slowly turn the hot and cold water supply on; now carefully check the system for any leaks.
Turn your filter tap on by turning the top section of the body clockwise so filtered water runs through
it. Note: when the filter is new it will take a moment to push any air though the system, you may
notice some discoloration in the water at this point, this is normal and will pass with flushing.
The filtered drinking water system performs at a maximum of 2-3 L / min. Turn the mixertap fully on
to filtered water, now turn the lever on the three way valve (11) to adjust the flow of filtered water to
the correct level.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then replace the bag
that has been provided to protect the tap until it is ready for use.
Using the tap:
For best results when using the filtered water always run the tap for a few moments. Running the tap will help to flush the system through and make the water cooler for
drinking. When comparing the taste of filtered and unfiltered water always taste the filtered water first.
The triple stage filter is designed to improve the taste, clarity and odour of drinking water, the filter also reduces sediment, the level of chemical impurities and lime scale build
up on kettles and cookware. Each filter cartridge has a maximum six month life depending upon your water quality.
