Installation Guide
Installation
This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15
mm (½”) copper pipe (cold supply only - hot water should be ltered prior to heating).
This product must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a
licensed plumber.
Installation Requirements
• 15 mm (½”) cold water line.
• Power supply: 240 VAC (ESR2 model only).
• Supply pressure: 300 - 875 kPa. Install pressure limiting valve if pressure exceeds
875 kPa.
• Supply temperature 0 °C - 52 °C.
• Alternative ttings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15
mm (½") copper pipe.
• Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate treatment before or aer the system.
Application warning; minimum water characteristics must be met before
installation of Radre™ to ensure proper operation and continuous protection.
Iron: less than 0.3 mg/L
Hydrogen Sulphide: less than 0.05 mg/L
Suspended Solids: less than 10 mg/L
Manganese: less than 0.05 mg/L
Hardness: less than 110 mg/L
Installation Procedure
1. Before attempting installation, check all components are intact and have not been
damaged in transit.
2. Select a suitable location that is close to the point of ltered water delivery (eg.
sink). Remember to allow access room for changing lters and a suitable place
where water spillage will not cause damage. Location should not be in direct

Installation Procedure
sunlight. A power outlet is required for ESR2 models.
3. Isolate water supply and install adaptor ballvalve.
3. Choose the best position for the faucet, taking into consideration height of jugs
etc. and also the drainage of any spills. Then drill a 12 mm hole and install the
faucet as in step 5.
4. To install the faucet, connect spout to the base of the faucet, ensuring that the
white circlip is ush with the groove on the spout. Push down on the spout cap
until it clicks, then tighten by hand. Once connected, place the escutcheon and
O-ring supplied onto the base of the tap. Insert into the counter top or sink and
place the plastic washer, lock washer and locking nut onto the thread and tighten,
ensuring the tap is in the correct position on the bench. Then place the olive in the
1/4" compression nut, then onto the 1/4" Tube and the olive insert into the end of
the tube and attach to the tap thread.
5. Install the lter housing assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking
the position of xing holes and xing with mounting screws. Allow 50 mm under
the unit for cartridge changes. For ESR2 models, also allow 350 mm clearance to
the side of the unit for lamp changes (lamp exit and entry point can be determined
by installer).
6. Fit tubing into adaptor ballvalve to the lter and lter to the faucet (see Fig. 2 on
how to use quick-connect ttings). Allow slack in the tubing. Make sure ow is right
according to inlet outlet on housing assembly.
7. Unscrew lter housing using the spanner wrench.
8. Check O-ring and lubricate with food grade silicone lubricant (or similar).
Steps 9 to 12 apply to ESR2 models only (ESR models proceed to step 13).
9. Unscrew the aluminium nuts on each end of the chamber. Never touch the
quartz (glass) and lamp surface as marks or ngerprints may interfere with UV
transmission. If lamp is soiled, please clean lamp with an alcohol based cleaner.
10. Take the quartz sleeve out of its packaging and slide one of the two O-rings over
one end of the quartz sleeve.
11. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve into the chamber via the end with no O-ring and
attach the second O-ring onto the end once it is in place.
12. Screw the aluminium nuts back onto to each end of the chamber.
13. Restore the water supply and check for leaks. The lters need to be only hand
tight. If they leak then undo housing and check the O-ring is sealed properly.
