CAUTION: This filter must be protected from freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water
leakage.
CAUTION: Because of the product’s limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the head of the filter be replaced every ten years.
If the head of your filter has been in use for longer than this period,
it should be replaced immediately Date the top of any new head to
indicate the next recommended replacement date.

your local water supplier for a copy of their water
analysis.
 After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a
holiday) it is recommended that the system be flushed
thoroughly. Let water run for 2-3 minutes before using.
 The filter cartridges used with this system have a limited service
life. Changes in taste, odour, colour; and/or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

1. Selecting the Tap Location
NOTE: The drinking water tap should be positioned with
function, convenience and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow
tap base to rest securely whether fitted directly to your sink or an adjacent worktop.
2. Preparing to Fit the Tap
WARNING: Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
Sink Location
The following instructions apply to stainless steel sinks only.
A. Use base plate to ensure tap will fit in your chosen location.
B. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings, parts, or tools from
falling down the drain and damaging sink or disposal unit if fitted.
C. Mark hole with a center punch. Use a 6mm drill bit for a pilot hole, then using a
12.5 mm diameter bit, drill a hole completely through the sink or worktop. Smooth
rough edges with a round or half round file.
Worktop Location
D. The tap should be positioned on a work surface adjacent to a sink where the
spout can easily discharge water into the basin.
E. Using a pencil, mark the work surface to indicate the center of the tap.
F. Drill a 12.5 mm hole where marked on the work surface.
G. Smooth any rough edges with a round or half round file.
3. Installing the Quarter Turn Tap
A. Insert a base plate and black rubber washer into the base of the tap.
B. Insert the threaded section of the tap body into the 12.5mm hole.
C. Assemble the washers and lock nut on the threaded section underneath.
D. Ensure compression nut, ferrule and tube insert and positioned on the blue
flexible tube shown in Fig 2.
E. Insert the open end of the blue flexible tube assembly into the base of the
threaded section of the tap.
F. Tighten the compression nut to ensure a watertight seal. Do not over tighten.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to drill through a porcelain sink. If your sink is porcelain,
please consult a professional plumber

STOP COCK.

(B) Tighten the locking screw C to clamp the pipe securely.
(C) Turn the piercing screw B clockwise and fully home to puncture the pipe, leave in
this position.

C) Using the template supplied as a guide, mark the position of the fixing holes with a pencil.
D) Drill small pilot holes for the screws.
E) Fix the bracket supplied to the side of the cupboard using suitable screws (screws not

A) To fit the tubing to the filter, remove the filter housing from the fixing. The red tube
connects to the inlet, the blue tube to the outlet. Please see Fig 6
B) Using a sharp hobby knife or similar to cut the flexible red tube from the self-cutting tap
to a length suitable for it to reach the inlet side of the filter housing (marked ‘IN’).
Remember to allow a sufficient length, so that it can be routed without kinks and be
kept clear of any sharp edges or obstacles.
C) With the tube cut ‘squarely’ and to the right length, ensure the end is clean, remove the
locking clip Z, (Fig 7) before firmly pushing it into the push fit connector on the inlet side
of the filter cartridge, pull back slightly to affect a water tight seal, replace the locking
clip Z.(You may nd this easier on Trio models if you rst remove the lters)
D) Repeat process for the blue tube from the touch flow tap.
E) Attach the tube to the outlet side of the cartridge head. (Ret cartridges if removed)
F) Turn on water supply and open the saddle valve, then check all connections for leaks.
G) Turn on the quarter turn tap to remove any airlocks. Run water for several minutes
until water runs clear to flush and prime cartridge.
H) Mount the filter back onto the fixing screws.
NOTE: For optimum performance, flow rate should not exceed 2 Lpm.
8. Filter Cartridge Replacement (Figs 8-11)
A) Turn off the water supply to the filter and dispense water from
drinking water tap until water flow stops to relieve pressure.
B) Place a small bowl and towel under the filters to catch any water drips.
C) Hold the filter cartridge, twist anti clockwise, the filter should pull out
easily.
D) Repeat for all cartridges.
E) Remove and dispose of the cartridge, recycling where facilities exist.
F) Fit the new cartridges, Remove cartridges from packaging, locate cartridge into head,
push in when lugs line up, and twist clockwise until locked in. Make sure cartridges are
in the correct order.
