INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
AQUACO CUSTOMER SERVICE
Thank you for purchasing an AquaCo Whole House Water Filtration System. Your system is a proven performer manufactured from
only quality materials and components and will give years of ‘spring fresh’ water free of impurities if maintained properly.
Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
The system is designed for mains (SYS-203-WAWF) supply but can be used in other situations. For other types of water supply please
contact your local AquaCo stockist or call our AquaCo Customer Service Helpline.
The AquaCo filter systems cartridges need replacing regularly to maintain optimum performance. This is a simple procedure when
following instructions. For cartridge replacements contact your nearest AquaCo stockist.
Customer Service Helpline 08 6156 0220 (Australia).
GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS
•Where line pressure exceeds 520 kPa, a pressure limiting valve must be installed. Protect the housing from water hammer.
•Use on cold water line only (with water up to 52°C). For installation over 52°C please enquire as to a suitable housing.
Protect the housing from freezing.
•Avoid installing in direct sunlight.
•Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of pipe sealants will void warranty.
•Do not overtighten. Too much tape or over tightening may cause head to split.
•For point of entry installations an approved dual check backflow prevention device must be fitted in accordance with
national plumbing product codes.
•Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
•This product must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a licensed plumber.
Installation Note: A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure
happens early due to unforeseen circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for
leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak
detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be
turned off if no one is home/present.
INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER. FAULTY OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL
RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLATION
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
Installation requires shutting water off to home, cutting home water supply pipe and using a welding torch to add piping
and fittings. Specialized tools and skills are required. Not a do-it-yourself type of project.
POSITIONING YOUR PRE-FILTRATION SYSTEM
Choose a location where any water spillage will not cause damage. Make sure mounting position is solid so that the filter
housing stays in position when changing filters. An isolation valve may be installed immediately prior to the filter to isolate
the filter for changing the cartridge.
INSTALL PRE-FILTRATION SYSTEM
1. Isolate water supply and relieve pressure by opening a downstream tap.
2. Cut pipe to suit length of required valve and housing installation.
3. Use approved brass, galv/poly plumbing fittings to suit existing pipework. The female threads on the housing will receive
tapered male threads. Thread into housing head carefully as too much tape or overtightening may cause it to split.
Warning: Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of pipe sealants will void warranty.
4. If using sweated fittings, allow enough time to cool before connecting to the housing.
5. Securely fix wall mount bracket and pipework with suitable clips. Allow 50mm clearance underbowl for filter changes.
6. Flush debris from pipework.
7. Install filter cartridge as per cartridge replacement instructions (pg.7).

REPLACEMENT GUIDE
You can obtain replacements from your local AquaCo dealer. To maintain performance, warranty and standards use genuine AquaCo
replacements.
To maintain the high quality of the purified water the cartridge(s) need changing every 12-18 months (this is dependent on water
quality and usage). You can obtain replacement cartridges from your local AquaCo stockist. To maintain performance and warranty
use genuine AquaCo replacements.
CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
To change the filter cartridge(s) please adhere to the following procedure:
1. Turn water supply off and relieve pressure by opening a downstream tap or
pressing the red pressure relief button on the housing(s) (if fitted).
2. Unscrew the filter bowl(s). If difficult to undo, use the wrench provided. Remove
old cartridge(s). We recommend replacing O-rings every 3 - 5 years to ensure a
water tight seal, preventing any leaks.
3. Clean bowl(s) with soap and warm water and rinse thoroughly. Check O-Ring(s)
for damage and if there is any, replace.
4. Check O-ring(s) lubrication and if necessary, apply a light coating of food grade
silicone lubricant (or similar).
5. Remove all packaging from new filter cartridge(s) and insert into housing bowl(s)
making sure cartridge(s) is properly seated over spigot in base of bowl(s).
Remember to record the model no. of the cartridge(s) you use.
6. Hold bowl(s) upright while screwing onto head. Make certain that the spigot in
the housing head(s) is located centrally to the cartridge(s) to make a good seal.
Hand tighten bowl until firm. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
7. Open downstream tap to allow air to be released and gently open water supply
allowing all air to be purged.
8. Allow water to run for 2 minutes to flush the system.
9. Close down stream tap and check for leaks. Flush system for 10 minutes after
any period of non-use more than 2 days. For a period of non-use of 2 weeks or
more, it may be necessary to replace the cartridge.
NOTE: TO RUN UNFILTERED WATER TO THE HOUSE (WHEN GARDENING OR
FILLING THE POOL), PLEASE CLOSE VALVES GOING IN AND OUT OF THE
FILTER SYSTEM (#3 & #7) AND OPEN THE BYPASS (VALVE #9).
