locations exposed to direct sunlight.
If the Aquaport water filter system has not been used for over 48 hours, 1
to 2 litres of water will need to be flushed through the system before the
water is used.
The Aquaport water system has a maximum and minimum water supply
pressure limits. The water supply pressure must not exceed the maximum
and minimum water supply pressure limits specified in the Systems
Specifications for your system.
FILTER REPLACEMENT INTERVALS
Dependent on the water quality that is going through the M Series water

of a cartridge may var y. If you notice a reduction in volume or flow from
the filter faucet, or return of an unpleasant taste/odour to the filtered
water, the filter cartridge(s) will need replacing.

The Pressure Limiting Dual
Check Valve, is supplied with
the filtration system to help limit
the water flow rate going into
your filter system from the mains
water, as well as preventing the
back flow of water from the filter
system, back into the mains
water. Your warranty is void if this
piece is not installed correctly.

B. Water Supply Installation
Preferred Installation
(Utilising existing kitchen sink water supply and flexible
faucet tubing)
A typical connection using the included water supply fitting is
shown on Page 5.
1 Locate cold tap water pipe and turn water supply off at the
isolation tap. If no isolation tap is available, turn off at the
meter. Turn on tap at sink to check and ensure water is turned
off and to drain the pipe.
2. Remove the flexible cold water hose that connects the cold
water faucet to the cold mains connection. Some water may
spill out.
3. Wrap sealing tape (6) around cold water stud in a clockwise
direction.
Note: Do not apply sealing tape in a counter clockwise direction, it
releases the sealing tape and leaks may occur.
4. Making sure that the washer is inserted correctly into the
female connection of the mains connection (5), hand tighten
the mains connection to the mains cold water stud (please see
Fig 1). Finish tightening with an adjustable wrench.
Be careful not to over tighten, as cross threading and leaking
can occur. Make sure the shut off valve connection is not
against a wall as the 1/4” tubing must not be bent, see Page 5.
5. Wrap sealing tape (6) around male thread of mains connection
(5) in a clockwise direction.
6. Reconnect the flexible cold water hose to the mains
connection (5).
7. Install 1/4” tubing (3). (see tubing installation section D)
Note: Inspect the ends of the tubing
to be sure there are no imperfections
and that the end of the tubing is cut
square. It may be necessary to cut
the tubing again.
Note: Plumbing connections may
vary, please consult a qualified
plumber for correct installation
method for your home.

C. Mounting System Installation
Pick a location under the sink to mount the system. Location
should be easily accessible, with clearance at the top and bottom
of the filter, to allow ease of removal of filter cartridge.
Please ensure there is enough space on either side of the system
for the tubing connections. See Fig 2.
1. Rotate the filter counter clockwise a 1/4 turn and pull out.
See Fig 3. Remove all filters cartridges (1) in the system.
2.
Check to ensure that mounting bracket is attached to filter head.
3. Mark location of fixing holes, and fix unit to cupboard with
mounting screws provided. See Fig 4.
Note: Remember to allow approximately 100mm above and
below and 200mm on the sides of the filter cartridge to allow
ease of removal.
4. Replace filter into the filter head and turn clockwise a 1/4 turn to
lock filter back into place. Replace all filters cartridges (1) in the
system, ensuring they are in the correct positions.
Note: Filter head (2a) will come with small tiny plugs in the hose
inlets/outlets, to protect the system during shipping. These plugs
are to be removed before installation.

8INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
D. Tubing Installation
The Filtration System has been supplied with quick and easy to
install quick connections.
To install tubing, push tubing into connections, and give a slight
pull to ensure tubing is secure:
Note: Check the end of the tubing to make sure there are no
cuts, nicks, flat spots or sharp edges. If any of these are present,
re-cut the end with a tube cutter or utility knife. The cut must
be perfectly straight with no angle, otherwise leaking from the
connections may occur.
1. Measure a length of 1/4” tubing (3), to run from the mains
connection fitting (5) to the filter head inlet (2c), and another
length of tubing to run from filter head outlet (2d) to your
tap faucet.
2. Measure 3/4” (19.05mm) from the end of the tubing
provided and mark with a pencil. Fig 5.
3. Push the 1/4” tubing firmly into each fitting (inlet (2c) and
outlet (2d)) on the filter head (2a) until the pencil mark is
pushed next to the collet or until tubing is fully seated. Fig
5. If tubing is removed, re-cut the end, measure, mark and
re-insert.
Note: To remove tubing, push collet against the face of fitting
and remove the hose (with collet still held against fitting face)
Fig 6.
Tubing must be fully inserted/seated to avoid leaks.
Repeat for all other connections.
4. Pull slightly on tubing to ensure tube is secure.
5. Locate a position along the 1/4” tubing (3), between the
mains connection (5) and filter head inlet (2c). Cut tubing
with tube cutter or utility knife and remove sufficient tubing
