Installation Guide
Installation Procedure
1. Select 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 sunlight.
2. Isolate water supply. Uninstall the connections on the cold water line and connect
the Smart Tee™. Reinstall the previous connection to the tee valve.
3. Connect the pressure limiting multivalve to the Smart Tee™ with a length of white
tubing.
4. Choose the best position for the faucet, taking into consideration height of jugs etc.
and also the drainage of any spills. Then drill a 12.5mm hole and install the faucet
as in step 5.
5. To install faucet, place the small rubber washer, chrome washer and large rubber
washer on to the threaded end of the faucet (see gure 1). Insert the faucet into the
hole in sink or bench. Slip the large plastic washer and lock washer onto threaded
end of faucet and screw on nut and tighten making sure faucet is correctly
positioned on top.
6. Reset LED indicator by following instructions on page 8.
7. Install housing assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the
position of xing holes and xing with mounting screws. Allow room for the
connecting tubes and for removing the lter bowls (50mm).
8. Fit tubing into connectors (for quick-connect ttings see g 3). Allow slack in the
tubing. Make sure ow is right according to inlet outlet on housing assembly. For
faucet connection see gure 2.
9. Install cartridges as per cartridge installation/changeout.
10. 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 seated properly.
11. Run the system for at least 10 minutes (push the faucet lever to the upright
position) to remove carbon nes. Water may appear milky, but this is normal and is
only tiny air bubbles that will clear aer a short period.
