• Use for mains water supply only.
• Do not expose the system to temperatures
below 0°C, protect from freezing.
• The system must installed according to local
plumbing codes on the cold water line only.
• This system requires regular replacement of the filter cartridges to maintain
proper operation. Varying chlorine, sediment, or organic substance levels may
affect the replacement frequency.
• Be sure to change the filter cartridges every 6 - 12 months, or whenever you
detect a change in taste, odour or a decrease in flow.
• Minimum operating pressure: 200 kPa
• Maximum operating pressure: 875 kPa
Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting
device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumb-
ing Standards. A 500 kPa pressure limiting device has been included in the
FilterWall system.
• Maximum operating temperature: 52°C
• Nominal flow rate: 55 Lpm
Caution: Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown water quality without adequate disinfection
before the system.
Installation Note: A water filter 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 outfitted 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 off 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.
