1. Important Informaon
- For correct operaon of this appliance, it is essenal to strictly observe these installaon and operang instrucons.
- Do not use this product with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfecon before or aer
this system. Installaon must comply with any exisng state or local plumbing codes. Some plumbing codes require the installaon of water lter
systems to be carried out by a licensed plumber.
- For COLD water use only. Maximum temperature 38°C. Minimum temperature 2°C.
- For internal use only.
- The inlet water pressure to this water lter housing must not exceed 900kPa (130psi).
- A cered pressure liming/dual check backow prevenon valve not exceeding 650kPa (95psi) must be installed on the inlet line immediately pre-
ceding this water lter housing. This valve is included with this system (see part (e) in the Included Parts secon).
- We also recommend the installaon of a water hammer protecon device to protect the water lter housing and its installaon. Where water ham-
mer problems exist, a water hammer protecon device must be installed. Symptoms of water hammer can be noisy, shuering, and banging pipes
when water-consuming appliances are operang or taps are turned o. Should the system not be used for two days or more, ush 1-2 litres of water
through the system before consuming the water.
- To ensure the high level of performance and protecon provided from this water lter system, only use Bombora replacement cartridges which have
a maximum cartridge life of 12 months.
- Aer installaon, check the output water with a test strip and then test every 6-8 weeks aerwards to establish your lter life based on your average
use. The TH reading should be below low range (less than 80PPM). If you get a higher reading than this on installaon, call us to discuss either adjust-
ing your bypass seng or restricng water ow further. Suggested lter cartridge change is 12 months or when the soening capacity is diminished
(over 80 PPM TH); whichever comes sooner.

3. Plumbing in Your System
1. Turn OFF the cold water connecon tap and vent any excess water from an available downstream outlet unl the water has stopped owing.
2. Using the Thread Seal Tape (f) provided, wrap the male thread from the cold water line with 3-4 revoluons of tape, ensuring that there is
approximately 2-3mm of clearance at the p of the ng. (This clearance helps to align the two opposing threads).
3. Thread the PLV (e) on the cold water supply line by turning the valve an-clockwise unl hand-ght and then complete an addional half turn
using a shier.
4. Using the Thread Seal Tape (f) wrap the male thread of the Hose Quick-Connect Fing (d) with 3-4 revoluons of tape.
5. Thread the male end of the Hose Quick-Connect Fing (d) into the female end of the PLV (e) with your hand unl ght and then complete the
last half turn with a shier. NOTE: Do not overghten. This may cause ngs to snap. Locate a suitable posion in your undersink area and
place the grey bracket from the Filter Head Assembly (b) against the side wall and mark out the two scewholes with a pencil. Pre-drill two, 3mm
holes and then screw in two self-tapping screws (not provided). Remember to leave at least 100mm of clearance beneath the base of the lter
cartridge.
6. Using the Thread Seal Tape (f) wrap the male thread located on the inlet side of the Filter Head Assembly (b) with 3-4 revoluons of tape.
7. Thread the female end of the Filter Head Inlet (a) onto the male end of the Filter Head Assembly (b) inlet with your hand unl ght and then
complete the last half turn with a shier. NOTE: Do not overghten. This may cause ngs to snap.
8. Measure a length of Polypropylene Tube (c) to run from the boom of the Hose Quick-Connect Fing (d) at the base of the PLV (e) to the 3/8”
BSP Quick-Connect Fing on the Filter Head Inlet (a). Ensure that you measure the length accurately and allow for tubing to be run neatly
through the cupboard. Push the tubing rmly into each ng, ensuring it is fully sealed. NOTE: Do not pull or ghtly bend tubing where it con-
nects to Quick-Connect ngs. This may cause leaks.
9. Using the Thread Seal Tape (f) wrap the male thread located on the outlet side of the Filter Head Assembly (b) with 3-4 revoluons of tape.
10. Mount the Filter Head Assembly (b) on to the grey bracket that is xed to the wall using the two female holes on each side of the Filter Head
Assembly (b). Connect your exisng 3/8” female braided hose connecon (not provided) and ghten with your hand and then complete the last
half turn with a shier. NOTE: Do not overghten. This may cause ngs to snap.
11. Insert your lter cartridge (not provided) vercally into the Filter Head Assembly (b) and turn the blue locking handle on the sides of the Filter
Head Assembly (b) unl you hear it click. Once the braided hose is connected to your faucet, coee machine, or other downstream equipment,
turn ON the water supply and check all connecons for leaks.
12. Operate the ush valve located on the top of the Filter Head Assembly (b) and run water through the lter system unl the ltered water runs
clear without carbon nes or bubbles. This can take up to 2-5 minutes. If your water appears ‘milky’, run the water a lile longer. This is caused by
ny air bubbles and is harmless.
13. Re-check for any leaks at all connecon points.
HANDY HINT: To alter tubing, or if a leak occurs at tubing connecons, remove tubing from Quick-Connect ngs by holding back the oat-
ing collet around the tube where it enters the Quick-Connect Fing and pulling gently on the tubing to remove. Make sure the end of the
tube is cut square and not distorted. Ret and test.
