2.2. How to use the device
Device intended for drinking water, for connection to the mains water supply.
The filter life depends on the quantity and quality of the water treated and the usage time, for hygiene
reasons.
The flow direction must be adhered to, a reversal will aect the device's operation and performance,
and the warranty will no longer be valid.
When commissioning the device, rinse cartridges for a few minutes by letting the tap water run before
drinking the filtered water.
Do not store the water in bottles for more than 24 hours.

3. Control panel operation
3.1. The control panel
A control panel provides a view of the wear status of filters and indicates when they need to be replaced.
The panel has 3 lights j, kand l, which can be green, orange or red and 3 buttons A, B and C.
The lights j, kand lcorrespond to filters 1, 2 and 3 respectively. A buzzer (audible alarm) also informs
users of the need to replace the filter in a situation where the device is not visible (e.g.: under a sink).
The lights come on each time water is drawn or if one of the buttons is pressed.
j Status of filter 1 A Reset button for filter 1
k Status of filter 2 B Reset button for filter 2
l Status of filter 3 C Reset button for filter 3

5. Installation
5.1. Preparing the wall/supporting structure
You can use the filter head bracket to mark the mounting points. Use a spirit level to ensure the position is correct.
Then drill out the Ø of screws or wall plugs, depending on the mounting bracket. Now insert the 2 top screws.

Prepare to fit the stop valve on the connector using PTFE tape (Teflon).
Add between 15 and 20 layers of Teflon to the stop valve’s male thread to create a seal. Screw it onto the connector.
Be careful not to apply too much tightening force as this could break the stop valve. This breakage,
orthe damage caused, will not be covered by the warranty.
Then connect one end of the pipe to the stop valve. Tighten this connection using the wrench.
Apply food grade grease, using the tube provided, to the stop valve’s inlet to make it easier to insert.

5.3. Mounting the Aquatis
Remove the cover and mount the device on the bracket.
5.4. Hydraulic connection and installing the tap
Step 1:
• Turn o the water supply for your kitchen or, failing this, for your home.
Step 2:
• Open the tap to reduce the pressure in the system.
Step 3:
• When replacing a tap, only install the hose on the hot water inlet. The hose on the cold water inlet will
beinstalled in the following steps. To do this, refer to step 7.1. If you are keeping your existing tap, simply
unscrew the cold water inlet hose.

Step 4:
Screw the pre-assembled connector onto the cold water inlet. Now connect the hose to the pre-assembled
connector.
Ensure that the seal is present between the parts before tightening them.
Step 5:
Thread the white pipe through the hole in the bottom left of the bracket, then align it with the device's inlet
connector and cut it to the correct length using the cutter, to enable it to be inserted into the connector.
Insert the white pipe adjusted to the correct length through the hole in the bottom left of the bracket and then
into the device’s inlet connector.
Once installed, check that the pipe is securely mounted in the connector by pulling it.
Pay attention to the device's connection direction. Ensure that you pass the pipe through the hole (1).
Step 6:
• In the same way as for the inlet pipe, cut the Aquatis outlet pipe to the correct size. Connect it to the device's
OUT outlet. Pass the pipe through hole 2.
The pipe is connected using an automatic push-fit connector. If necessary, to disconnect the pipe connector,
push the white washer while simultaneously pulling the pipe downwards.

Step 7:
• Ensure that the plastic connector is properly installed on the tap’s filtered water inlet. Remove the blue
strip from the connector then clip the Aquatis outlet pipe onto the pure filtered water tap connector.
Check that there is a good mechanical connection by pulling the pipe.
• The 3-way tap is installed instead of your current tap. Check the size of your current tap's opening
byinserting the 3-way tap.
• Installation of the 1-way tap requires an additional hole to be drilled in your worktop. Use suitable tools
for your sink's or your worktop's material with the correct diameter. Check in advance that the drilled
hole will be in an accessible position to allow mounting to proceed. Should you be in any doubt, employ
a professional.

5.5. Installing cartridges
Apply food grade silicone grease to the seals or wet them with water in advance. Adhere to positions
1, 2 and 3 based on the number appearing on the cartridge label from left to right. Place the cartridge
tobeinserted beneath the corresponding position. To match the cartridge to Aquatis, position it between
the two faces showing information. Once engaged, rotate the cartridge a quarter turn to the right. Thelabel
should appear on the front when looking at the device.
5.6. Connecting the flow sensor
Ensure that you observe the mounting direction for the flow sensor connector (see photos opposite).
If it does not fit, do not force it. Take care not to touch the PCB with wet fingers.
5.7. Insert the batteries for the PCB
Ensure that the polarity of the LR6-AA batteries is correct.
Once inserted, the three lights on the Aquatis should light up in green. If they do not light up, check that the
batteries have been inserted in the correct direction.

Secure the cover by attaching it to the mounting brackets at the top and then by engaging the clips at the bottom.
It is possible to adjust the tightness of the fitting using the oblong hole at the bottom of the bracket.
E.g.: if the cover is too tight to unclip, loosen the centre screw and realign the holes in the bottom of the bracket.
5.8. Commissioning
Gradually open the system’s main stop valve followed the Aquatis stop valve.
Ensure there are no leaks for 48 hours, by carrying out visual inspections.
Open the tap used for filtered water and leave the water to run for a few minutes using the small lever on the
filtered water channel, in order to rinse the cartridges. While water is flowing, check that the 3 lights are on;
thismeans that the device is connected correctly (hydraulically and electrically).
Please note that the water may look cloudy during the first few uses. This is caused by small air
bubbles, which are forced out of the pre-filtration and ultra-filtration cartridges, which filter at 10 µm
and 0.1 µm respectively. The water is 100% drinkable and of a very high quality.
This phenomenon may last until all the micro air bubbles have been forced out (this depends on the mains
pressure and that of the hydraulic system).

2 HP: Q112021001
3 BU: Q112022001
Alarm:
Cartridge(s) worn (orange light + beeps).
Cartridge(s) unserviceable, require replacement (red light + beeps).
Batteries flat, require replacement (3 alternate flashing red lights + beeps).
6.1. Handling
The filters can be replaced at any time. In order not to have water running from cartridges when replacing them,
proceed as follows:
1. Open the filter tap and leave the filtered water to run. While the water is running, cut o the water inlet
by rotating the Aquatis tap stop valve a quarter turn to the right. The valve’s fins must be perpendicular
tothe pipe. A small amount of water will continue to run from the filter tap. Once the water stops running,
close the tap using the small lever that controls the filtered water.

7. Leave the water to run for several minutes to rinse the cartridge. The water may have a whitish orcloudy
appearance. This is caused by small air bubbles, which are forced out of the pre-filtration and ultra-
filtration cartridges. The water is 100% drinkable and of a very high quality. This phenomenon may
last until all the micro air bubbles have been forced out (this depends on the mains pressure and that
ofthehydraulic system).
