GT1-100 Commercial Window Cleaning
& Car Detailing Spot Free Rinse Water Filter System
WARNING:
For correct operation of this system, it is essential to observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
This System must be installed in a vertical position on a solid base or mounted vertically on a solid
surface.
WaterMark:
The Water Filtration Housings used on this system are compliant to WaterMark Standards AS/NZS 3497
under certificate number 23247. WaterMark is the standard that is required by law for a qualified plumber in
Australia to install any item on municipal town water.
Installation:
This system is designed for inline use and is not designed to be under constant pressure. Due to this, a
Qualified Plumber is not required unless the system is to be installed under pressure as a POU Water Filter
System. Failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines may void warranty and insurance.
Carbon/Resin Multi-Media Filter:
This system is compatible with standard size cartridges referred to as 10” x 4.5” (pre-filter) and 20” x 4.5”
(stage 2-3).
Before use, the pre-filter will require flushing to clear any carbon dust that may be in the cartridge. To do
this, connect the system & remove the stage 2 and 3 DI filters. Run the water for a couple of minutes or
until the water runs clear. Replace the DI filters into the housings then flush for a further 1 minute.

Installation / Set Up
Finding an Installation Point
The filter system has a 1” BSP inlet size which will easily suit installation onto 1” poly pipes. This system is
able to be reduced to ¾” and used with a standard size garden hose fitting (GT19-125).

The inline Flow Meter has a 3/4” BSP male thread that you can adapt to. There is a hose fitting supplied
with a 3/4” Female to Hose connector (GT19-155)
NOTE: Do NOT use thread sealant on any components. Use thread tape only. Sealants can cause the
housing ports to crack when they harden.
Installing Pressure Gauges & Plugs
Kit Contains: Opening Spanner, Pressure Gauges (If applicable), Gauge Port Bungs, Spare O-Ring
Install with Gauge Plugs: The housings are supplied with a thin o-ring is a zip-lock bag. Install this o-ring
into the gauge port then screw in the gauge plugs firmly without thread tape.
Install with Pressure Gauges: When installing pressure gauges, use the thin o-ring supplied in the zip-
lock bag, the O-ring is to go in the port at the bottom – NOT around the thread of the gauge. Firmly hand
tighten the gauge without the use of thread tape – Do not overtighten the gauge.
NOTE: If there is no reading on the pressure gauge, it is likely that the flat washer was not removed,
or the gauge is too tight – causing the washer to obstruct the hole on the gauge.
If the o-rings do not provide an adequate seal, you are permitted to remove them and use 6 to 8 wraps of
white plumber’s tape. Excess thread tape or thread glue/sealant will cause the port to split.
Installing Filter Cartridges
Filter housings should always be installed in an upright position to ensure that the filter cartridge remains
centred in the housing during tightening. Always handle the carbon filter by the end caps, avoid touching
the mesh surface of the carbon filter to avoid contamination.
Refillable DI cannister filters should be installed the same, paying attention to the ‘This Way Up’ Markings
on the housing. The O-Ring Seal is the ‘Top’ of the filter cartridge.
Housings should be tightened by hand to ensure that the cartridges are centre. Use the supplied opening
wrench to tighten the housings firmly. Do not over tighten housings.
Installing & Operating Inline Flow Meter
Slide off the cover case of the battery room and put into 2 AA batteries. Then slide the cover case back.
The DigiFlow 6710M-66 will automatically turn on when there is water flowing through the sensor. It will
automatically turn off in 10 seconds when there is no water flowing. Press the “DISPLAY” button will turn on
the LCD of the DigiFlow 6710M-66. Pressing the “DISPLAY” button again could choose to display
accumulated flowing volume (flow totalization) or real-time flow rate.
Use stick to keep pressing the “RESET” button for 4 seconds, the total measuring volume will be reset to
be zero. When the battery power lower than normal working level, the buzzer will beep twice to notice and
the battery symbol on the screen will blink to notice user to change the battery. Once the batteries are
replaced, the alert will be released. The data will be kept in memory and stored back when user replace the
batteries.
Ongoing Maintenance
Pre-Filter:
The CTO 4510-05 Coconut carbon filter has a life span of 45,000L (@ 7.5L/Min) or 12 Months
Part Number: GT4-13P
DI Resin:
The Mixed bed resin has a varied lifespan which will be directly affected by the water quality and usage of
the system. The Stage 2 DI filter will likely be the first filter to expire as it is the first stage filter.
It is important to monitor the TDS of the filters ongoing to determine when replacement is required.
