Stage 3 – setting up the filtered water flow rate:
Turn your filter tap on fully so filtered water runs through it.
Note: when the filter is new it will take a moment to push any
air though the system, so water may not appear instantly.
You may notice some black discoloration in the water at this
point, this is loose carbon, it is normal and harmless and will
pass with further flushing. We suggest flushing apx. 2 litres
through the filter when new.
The filtered drinking water system performs at a maximum of 2-
3 L / min depending upon the quality of your water.
Turn the blue lever on the three way valve (V) to adjust the
flow of filtered water to the appropriate flow rate, this can be
checked using a kitchen measuring jug for example 1 litre
should take 2 -3 seconds.
After installation:
Once you have visually checked the installation of the new tap and all connections, ensure that all other fittings
are closed except the new tap which should be left open.
Turn on your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is open.
Check the function of flow and function of hot, cold, filtered and mixed water.
Turn off the tap and check carefully for any leaks around all connections on the fitting and adjoining plumbing.
If possible return to the installation after a longer period to double check for slower leaks. If pressure testing
equipment is available check the installation to the maximum recommended pressure.
Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then place a bag over the product
to protect the tap until it is ready for use.
The installation should be periodically checked for damage, if the property is left unattended for a prolonged
period we recommend isolating water supplies.
Using the tap:
Push the right side handle backwards for filtered water, forwards for unfiltered water.
For best results when using the filtered water always run the tap for a few moments to flush away any standing
water. The longer the filter has been unused the longer the system will need to be flushed. Running the filtered
tap will also make the water cooler for drinking.
When comparing the taste of filtered and unfiltered water always taste the filtered water first.
The dual stage filter is designed to improve the taste, clarity and odour of drinking water, it will not effect the
water hardness (limescale) qualities.
Depending upon the quality of the incoming water source the blue lever on isolation valve (U) should be
adjusted. The worse the quality of the incoming water the slower the flow rate of filtered water should be set in
comparison with the suggested optimum rate.
Each filter cartridge has a maximum 6 month lifespan. Complete and return the included registration card if
you wish to take advantage of our free postal reminder card service.

Care Instructions for your Kitchen Sink Mixer:
To maintain the appearance of this tap, ensure that it is regularly cleaned only using a clean, soft damp cloth.
A solution of warm water and a mild liquid detergent may be used where necessary, and then the fitting rinsed
thoroughly and wiped dry. Any other cleaning action will invalidate your warranty.
Abrasive cleaners, scouring cleaners and acidic cleaners must not be used under any circumstances. Avoid
contact with all solvents (including chlorinated solvents, ketones or acetones as these may result in surface
deterioration or etching). Also avoid contact with any harsh household chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain
cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers, bar keepers friend or Brasso.
Where the tap has a removable aerator on the spout exit it can be removed and cleaned periodically to
maintain optimum flow performance.
Important Technical Data:
Min / Max Hot operating pressure: .3 / 5.5 bar*
Min / Max Cold operating pressure: .75 / 5.5 bar*
Recommended / Maximum hot water temperature: 46 / 7 °C*
Tap hole size and centres: ∅35mm
Flow characteristics: Dual flow
*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short
periods, damage can result. In these instances a thermostatic mixing or
pressure reducing valve should be installed.
This product is either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards.
Please ensure that your Kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws. Where hot and cold
water mix within the mixertap, then suitable non return (check) valves should be installed to the hot and cold
supplies to prevent backflow.
Hot and cold supply pressures should be as closely balanced as possible for best results. Supply pipes should
maintain the maximum diameter until immediately before the fitting. The differential between the hot and cold
water supply temperatures should be sufficient to allow correct mixing function.
These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all
times. We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst
assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any factory fixed assemblies.
This tap has been 1 % assembly tested; therefore you may expect a small residual amount of water to
remain in the tap when delivered. Any water marks can be removed using the above care advice.
This tap can be used in conjunction with a water softening system and will remove the need for a separate
drinking water tap. In this instance the isolator valve (U) must cut into the unsoftened cold mains supply.

Installation Preparation:
All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for completeness and transport damage prior
to installation.
Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order
to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple
procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the mixertap and invalidate the warranty.
We recommend installing isolation valves and particle (mesh) filters to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an
accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.
Shut off the water heating system and ensure that the mains stopcock is closed. Ensure both the hot and cold
water supplies are isolated before commencing installation.
This mixertap requires a ∅35mm tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the
feed pipes using wire wool, the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant. You should ensure that the
product will both fit into the depth of the mounting surface available and reach the required outlet positions
before installation.
Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is
the case do this now.
This tap can be used in conjunction with a water softening system and will remove the need for a separate
drinking water tap. In this instance the isolator valve (U) must cut into the unsoftened cold mains supply so the
filtered drinking water is not pre-softened.
Stage 1 – install the tap:
1. Screw the hot and cold tail pipes (I & H) and fixing stud (G) into the base of the tap (A).
2. Place the upper seal (C) on to the base of base plinth (B).
3. Place the tap (A) centrally and straight to the tap hole, passing the hollow fixing stud (G) and tail pipes
(I & H) through the sink.
4. Pass the rubber horseshoe (E) then the metal horseshoe (F) over the hollow fixing stud (G). Note: if
the tap is to be fitted to a stainless steel sink then the white triangular plate (D) can be fitted where
shown to improve the stability of the tap.
5. Using a spanner tighten fixing nut (J) onto the hollow fixing stud (G), a 17mm a/f box spanner or
adjustable small basin wrench will help if one is available.
6. Place the fibre washer (K) into adaptor (L), then tighten the adaptor (L) onto the end of the hollow fixing
stud (G).
7. Attach the hot water tail pipe (I) to the water feed pipe using 15mm compression or end feed joints.
Note: the tail pipes can be carefully ‘dogleg bent’ apart to give more space to allow these fittings to be
attached.
8. Using compression nuts (T) and olives (U) connect the 3-way tee (V) as shown to the cold water tail
pipe (H).
Stage 2 – install the filter:
1. Locate a convenient position to install the filter (P), remembering that it must be easily accessible when
it is changed, remove the blue domed dust plugs (not shown) from both ends of the filter, to remove the
blue plugs push the circular collar towards the filter whilst pulling the plugs.
2. Using compression nuts (T) and olives (U) connect the 3-way tee (V) as shown to the cold water supply
feed pipe.
3. Screw the filter bracket (R) to the sink cupboard wall using screws (Q), if attaching the bracket to an
interior wall use a rawl plug.
4. Write the installation date onto the filter label in permanent pen.
5. Clip the filter (P) into its bracket (R) respecting the flow direction, the flow direction is marked on the
filter body (P) with an arrow. The filter (P) should be mounted vertically or near vertically to perform
correctly.
6. Screw the tapered pushfit connector (M) into the adaptor nut (L). Note we suggest using PTFE tape on
the tapered thread of fitting (M), do not over tighten fitting (M) it will not be flush to adaptor (L) when in
a sealed position.
7. Cut the blue flexible pipe (N) so it is slightly longer than the required lengths to and from the filter unit
(P). When cutting the pipe use a sharp Stanley knife, ensuring that the pipe is cut cleanly and square at
all ends.
8. Firmly push the blue pipe (N) apx. 12mm into the filter outlet pushfit connector (O) and pushfit
connector (S).
9. Firmly push the blue pipe (N) into filter inlet pushfit connector (O) and the valve pushfit adaptor (M).
