Whole House Water Filtration Systems
Introduction
Guidelines and Warnings
• Where line pressure exceeds recommended max pressure on housing label a
pressure limiting valve must be installed. 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.
• Avoid installing in direct sunlight.
• Use PTFE thread seal tape on all connections. Use of pipe sealants 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.
Positioning Your Filter
Choose a location where any water spillage will not cause damage. 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 Guide
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.
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 underbowl for lter changes.
6. Flush debris from pipework.
