Operation
A unique feature of the Franke Triflow tap is the three
operating valves – one each to control the flow of hot, cold
and filtered water. Each handle is clearly marked: hot/red,
cold/blue and filtered/green. The flow from full-off to full-
on is adjusted by simply rotating the handles – forward for
hot and cold, to the left for filtered water.
Important: Each time the filtered water is turned on, allow
it to run for a few moments to expel the small amount of
residual water in the pipework between the filter and the
tap.
The Triflow Tap
Cleaning – The Franke Triflow 3 way tap itself requires little
routine maintenance beyond the occasional cleaning of the
plated finish with a soft cloth and warm soapy water,
followed by a polish with a soft cloth.
Do not under any
circumstances use abrasive liquids, powders, or scouring
pads to clean the tap. You will damage the plated finish and
void your guarantee.
The flow straightener fitted to the hot/cold water outlet
may need occasional cleaning. This will be evident when
the water flow slows down to an unacceptable level. This is
accomplished by unscrewing the outlet in an anti clockwise
direction, then rinse thoroughly in clean water and re-
install.

Introduction
The Franke Triflow is manufactured to
exacting standards. Carefully installed
and maintained it will give many years of
trouble free use.
Ideally installed on an equal pressure
system. The Triflow allows hot and cold
water to mix in the body. If the supplies
are imbalanced, control of the mixing
temperature may be affected. An
additional check valve (not supplied)
should be fitted to the Hot side when
used on an imbalanced system.
Before you proceed... We recommend
you engage the services of a registered
plumber to install this product.
Read the instructions and diagrams in
this leaflet carefully.
CheckList
ICheck the cold water pressure - it
must not exceed 75psi (5 bar)
measured during a low demand
period. Subjecting the system to
pressures above this level will
invalidate your warranty and could
result in the failure of the filter
housing. Where the pressure exceeds
5 bar a pressure limiting device must
be installed (contact Franke Triflow).
Recommended minimum cold water
pressure 25psi (1.7 bar).
IFor optimum filter performance
use the stop valve to set the filtered
water flow to 11/2 - 2 litres/min (23/4 -
31/2 pints/min).
IThe recommended maximum
temperature of the hot water supply to
the Triflow mixer tap in metal finishes
is 85°C.
1Position the filter to allow easy
access for future cartridge changes.
2Make sure the grey collars are in
place in the end of the push fit
connectors – Diagram B
3Take care with the plastic tubing –
correctly installed tubes can withstand
pressures in excess of 500psi (33bar).
However, creasing, stretching,
exposure to a naked flame or locating
near a heat source will impair its
pressure rating and may lead to failure
and subsequent flooding.
4Take care with the plastic tubing –
scratches and scores where the
connectionsare made will cause
leaks. If you need to cut the tubing,
use a sharp blade and chamfer the cut
end.
5Push the plastic tube completely in
when making the ‘Push Fit’
connections into the cap – Diagram B
6Position the plastic tubes neatly to
avoid side strain and the possibility of
accidental damage.
7If you need to remove the tubes
from the ‘Push Fit’ connections, use
your thumb and forefinger to hold in
the grey collar (Diagram B) while
gently pulling the tube out. Before re-
inserting the tube, trim the length
General Information
1 The Franke Triflow is not a water softener, and unlike
some jug filters, does not remove the minerals essential
to good health and taste. In hard water areas, calcium,
perhaps the most essential of these minerals forms a
precipitate when the water is boiled. Most commonly
this forms a scale in the kettle, and in extreme cases,
appears as white flecks in the boiled water or as a
surface film on tea and coffee.
A convenient remedy for this problem is to use one of
the new generation of kettles now available. These
kettles incorporate a special screen which removes the
precipitate but not essential minerals thereby
complementing the use of your Triflow system.
2If you plan to be away from home for more than two or
three days, we recommend turning off the main water
supply to the filter. Once turned on again, allow the
water to run for a few moments before use.
3If you plan to be away from home for extended periods,
or the filter housing may be subject to the risk of
freezing, you must turn off the main water supply to the
filter and remove residual water from the filter housing
(see cartridge replacement sheet). Once turned on
again, allow the filtered water to run for two minutes
before use.
4Take care when moving things under the sink unit or you
may cause a leak by damaging the plastic tubes leading
to and from the filter housing.
5If the ‘Push Fit’ connectors require tightening after
installation, a force of no greater than 1.5Nm torque
(hand tight) should be applied. Overtightening will
damage the fitting and invalidate your guarantee.
6When comparing the taste of the filtered water with the
untreated water use a clean glass and drink the filtered
water first.

back by 25mm and chamfer the end.
8Water must flow through the filter
in the direction of the arrow moulded
in the top of the cap.
9Check system carefully for leaks.
10 After installation, if building work
is to be carried out near the Franke
Triflow Tap, it should be covered to
prevent paint, tile adhesive etc.,
damaging the surface finish.
11 Please ensure that the installation
complies with the local Water Supply
Bye-laws.
