HD / HD-B / LD Series Water Filtration Housings
Guidelines & Warnings
The Puretec lter housing cartridges need replacing regularly to maintain optimum
performance. Replace cartridges when water ow is reduced, taste or odour returns
to water (carbon cartridges only) or every 6 to 12 months. For cartridge replacements
contact your nearest Puretec stockist.
Customer Service Helpline 1300 140 140 (Australia) 0800 130 140 (New Zealand).
Guidelines and Warnings
• Where line pressure exceeds 350 kPa for HD1020-BC and 520 kPa for all other
housings, a pressure limiting valve must be tted prior to inlet. Protect the housing
from water hammer.
• Use on cold water line only (with water up to 52°C). For installation over 52°C
please enquire as to a suitable housing. Protect the housing from freezing.
• Do not install in direct sunlight.
• Clear housings must not be installed externally as housings must be
protected from direct sunlight to prevent bacterial growth.
• Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of liquid pipe sealants/
dope will void warranty.
• Do not overtighten. Too much tape or over tightening may cause head to split.
• For point of entry installations an approved dual check backow prevention device
must be tted in accordance with national plumbing product codes.
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection.
• This product must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a
licensed plumber.
Installation Note: A water lter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life
and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen
circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly
examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan,
plumbed to an appropriate drain or outtted with a leak detector, should be used in
those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water
supply should be turned o if no one is home/present.
INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER. FAULTY
OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED
WARRANTY COVERAGE.

Positioning Your Filter
Positioning Your Filter
Choose a location where any water spillage will not cause damage. If a cupboard
is chosen care needs to be taken in case of water spillage or ooding. Make sure
mounting position is solid so that the lter housing stays in position when changing
lters. An isolation valve may be installed immediately prior to the lter to isolate the
lter for changing the cartridge.
Installation Procedure
1. Isolate water supply and relieve pressure by opening a downstream tap.
2. Cut pipe to suit length of required valve and housing installation.
3. Use approved brass, galv/poly plumbing ttings to suit existing pipework. The
female threads on the housing will receive tapered male threads. Thread into
housing head carefully as too much tape or overtightening may cause it to split
WARNING: Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of liquid pipe
sealant/dope will void warranty.
4. If using sweated ttings, allow enough time to cool before connecting to the
housing.
5. Securely x wall mount bracket and pipework with suitable clips. Allow 50mm
clearance under the housing bowl for lter changes.
6. Flush debris from pipework.
7. Install lter cartridge as per cartridge replacement instructions.

pressing the red pressure relief button on the housing(s) (if tted).

damage and if there is any, replace.
4 Check O-ring lubrication and if necessary apply a light coating of food grade
silicone lubricant (or similar).

making sure cartridge is properly seated over spigot in base of bowl. Remember to
record the model no. of the cartridge you use.
6 Hold the bowl upright while screwing onto head. Make certain that the spigot in
the housing head is located centrally to the cartridge to make a good seal. Hand
tighten bowl until rm. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
7 Open downstream tap to allow air to be released and gently open water supply
allowing all air to be purged.
8 Allow water to run for 2 minutes to ush the system.

period of non-use more than 2 days. For a period of non-use of 2 weeks or more,
it may be necessary to replace the cartridge.
