the braided flex hose supplied with the new kitchen tap
has a rubber internal. This rubber internal may, in some
instances, cause taste and odour issues when the filtered
water first comes into contact with the hose.
Should this occur then flush the filtered water through
the hose over a period of time to remove taste and odour
issues.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded
under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled
to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for
compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss
or damage. You are also entitled to have all the goods
repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable
quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: For correct operation of this system it is
essential to observe the instructions below.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE
PLEASE NOTE FOLLOWING FOR INSTALLATION OF
THIS SYSTEM
• HOSE FITTINGS & HEX ADAPTER WITH SEALING
O-RING
The braided pex hose and hex adapter are fitted with
a sealing o-ring – teflon tape / joining compound
is not required for this fitting. Check the fitting to
ensure the o-ring is in place and not damaged.
Ensure the inlet thread and mounting surface are
smooth and clean. O-ring grease may be applied
to the o-ring as required. Tighten until the o-ring
contacts the surface of the filter head assembly inlet
and outlet, then further tightened by 0.5 turns to
reach approx 3.5 nm of force to compress the o-ring
and effect a seal. DO NOT USE A SEALING TAPE
OR A JOINING COMPOUND WHEN CONNECTING
THE HOSES AND/OR ADAPTER TO THE HEAD
ASSEMBLY.
• MAXIMUM WATER PRESSURE – PRODUCT
WARRANTY
Australian standards call for a maximum water
pressure of 500 kpa for plumbing installations.
Having water pressure above 500 kpa may damage
connected products including water filters and
will void the product warranty. If water pressure
exceeds 500 kpa a watermark approved pressure
limiting valve must be installed at the same time as
installing the water filter system.
• When installing this filter system in a new home or
kitchen please ensure that the cold water lines under
the sink are flushed to remove all debris within the
pipes, before installation of the water filter system.

2. Ensure that the cold water at mains supply is turned
off
Where an existing tap and connections are already
installed - after you have turned off the mains cold
water at the mini cistern tap, open the kitchen /
mixer tap and release any water pressure.
Unscrew the braided flex hose from the existing cold
water line mini cistern tap or isolation valve. Clean
the ½” male water connection thread.
3. Undersink Mounting Position
As you will note from the associated diagram,
this Inline Filter System can be installed in either
the horizontal or vertical position. Horizontal is
preferable.
a) Horizontal Position
Measure 460mm horizontally, and mark the
mounting location for the side of the Filter
Head Assembly and end of the filter cartridge.
Make sure there is adequate space to avoid
crimping the water line flex hoses. Also make
sure your chosen location offers easy access for
future cartridge changes and installation of the
stabilizing support bracket. (item 7).
b) Vertical Installation
Measure 460mm from the base of the cabinet (or
shelf), and mark the mounting location for the top
of the Filter Head Assembly. Make sure that there
is adequate space to avoid crimping the water line
flex hoses. Also make sure your chosen location
offers easy access for future cartridge changes.
4. Important - If necessary you can easily change the
direction of the flow of water through the inlet and
outlet of the filter system. You will notice on the
head assembly that the inlet is shown by the word
“IN” and the outlet is shown by the word “OUT”.
To change direction, simply remove the four (4)
screws that hold the mounting bracket to the head
assembly and replace/refit the mounting bracket in
the opposite direction. This allows flexibility when
choosing the desired location for your filter system.
a) Take the Pex Hose 3/8” male connection (item
5) and screw this connection to the inlet side
of the Filter Head Assembly (item 1). This hose
fitting has a sealing o-ring and does not require
plumbing tape or compound to be applied to
create the seal (do not use).You will notice on
the head assembly that the inlet is shown by the
word “IN” and the outlet is shown by the word
“OUT”.
Owners Manual
b) Take the Brass Hex Nipple with o-ring (item 6) and
screw this connection into the outlet side of the filter
head (item1). This brass fitting has a sealing o-ring
and does not require plumbing tape or compound to
be applied to create the seal (do not use).
IMPORTANT: Plumbing tape and/or sealing
compounds shall not be used as item 5 and item
6 have a sealing o-ring. Use of thread tape or
sealing compounds may result in damage to the
filter head resulting in product failure and water
leaks and will void the product warranty if used.
c) Securely mount the Filter Head Assembly (item
1) on the cabinet wall using two of the mounting
screws (item 3) provided. The filter head will be
installed vertically or horizontally depending
upon your desired location.
5. Connect Dual Check Valve – (item 4)
IMPORTANT – It is a legal requirement under
Australian Plumbing Standards for the Dual Check
Valve to be installed. If this part is not installed
all warranties are null and void. Refer to the NCC
Volume three, The Plumbing Code of Australia for
the requirements of backflow prevention.
Apply plumbing tape (item 9) to the ½” male water
connection cistern tap fitting before screwing on the
dual check valve (item 4).
6. Attach Pex Hose (item 5)
Connect the ½” female end of the Pex Hose
(item 5) - to the ½” male end of the Dual Check valve
(item 4) as shown in the diagram.
7. Attach Filtered Water to Cold Water Line of Kitchen
Tap
Take the braided flex hose that is attached to the
kitchen tap and screw the ½” female end of the
braided flex hose onto the hex nipple (outlet side of
filter head).
8. For Horizontal Installations – Install Stabilizing
Bracket (item 7)
Where the system is installed horizontally the unit
requires support at the base of the filter cartridge
with the Stabilizing Bracket (item 7). Locate the
bracket (item 7) in a position that allows three
important functions;
a) Firstly, the bracket needs to be located so the
Filter Cartridge can be removed when it is
replaced. Suggested location is at the base of the
filter cartridge.
b) The bracket must be level with the filter head
– so that the filter cartridge sits in a level
horizontal position.
c) Finally, the bracket needs to be screwed into
the cabinet using the two remaining mounting
screws (item 3) and set in a manner whereby the
bottom of the bracket supports the water filled
filter cartridge horizontally.
9. Install Filter Cartridge (item 2)
a) Hold Filter Head (item 1) firmly with one hand.
b) Align cartridge notches with filter head.
c) Insert Filter Cartridge (item 2) and push into filter
head assembly (item 1).
d) Turn it to the right (about 1/4 turn) until it stops.
10. Flush the Filter Cartridge
a) Turn water supply back on at either the mains
or at the cold water mini cistern tap.
b) At this stage check for leaks and fix if necessary
c) Turn kitchen tap on and flush the filter cartridge
for at least 2–3 minutes. Collect water in
container and use for garden etc.
NOTE – Flushing the filter cartridge is important to
remove air from the system and any loose carbon
powder. At first the water may appear cloudy due
to compressed trapped air in the filter and hoses.
However the cloudiness will disappear over time and
with use.
11. Installing the Filter Monitor Alarm (item 8)
The Filter Monitor Alarm (item 8) is supplied to
assist you with knowing when it is time to replace
your Filter Cartridge. Regular annual cartridge
replacement ensures that your filter system is
maintained in accordance with the manufacturers
recommendations.
a) Remove plastic wrapper from monitor and
remove installation instructions.
b) On the back of the monitor - pull the tab back.
c) The LED and buzzer will cycle 3 times to
confirm the start.
d) It is programmed to flash and sound again in 11
months.
e) Remove the two adhesive tapes from the back
of the monitor and locate/mount in a convenient
location under your kitchen sink or on the filter
cartridge.
NOTES
1) This installation must comply with all applicable
state and local regulations.
2) Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of an unknown quality without
disinfection before or after the system.
3) When storing filtered water in a refrigerator please
ensure the container has an air tight seal.

3. Undersink Mounting Position
As you will note from the associated diagram,
this Inline Filter System can be installed in either
the horizontal or vertical position. Horizontal is
preferable.
a) Horizontal Position
Measure 460mm horizontally, and mark the
mounting location for the side of the Filter
Head Assembly and end of the filter cartridge.
Make sure there is adequate space to avoid
crimping the water line flex hoses. Also make
sure your chosen location offers easy access for
future cartridge changes and installation of the
stabilizing support bracket. (item 7).
b) Vertical Installation
Measure 460mm from the base of the cabinet (or
shelf), and mark the mounting location for the top
of the Filter Head Assembly. Make sure that there
is adequate space to avoid crimping the water line
flex hoses. Also make sure your chosen location
offers easy access for future cartridge changes.
4. Important - If necessary you can easily change the
direction of the flow of water through the inlet and
outlet of the filter system. You will notice on the
head assembly that the inlet is shown by the word
“IN” and the outlet is shown by the word “OUT”.
To change direction, simply remove the four (4)
screws that hold the mounting bracket to the head
assembly and replace/refit the mounting bracket in
the opposite direction. This allows flexibility when
choosing the desired location for your filter system.
a) Take the Pex Hose 3/8” male connection (item
5) and screw this connection to the inlet side
of the Filter Head Assembly (item 1). This hose
fitting has a sealing o-ring and does not require
plumbing tape or compound to be applied to
create the seal (do not use).You will notice on
the head assembly that the inlet is shown by the
word “IN” and the outlet is shown by the word
“OUT”.
Owners Manual
b) Take the Brass Hex Nipple with o-ring (item 6) and
screw this connection into the outlet side of the filter
head (item1). This brass fitting has a sealing o-ring
and does not require plumbing tape or compound to
be applied to create the seal (do not use).
IMPORTANT: Plumbing tape and/or sealing
compounds shall not be used as item 5 and item
6 have a sealing o-ring. Use of thread tape or
sealing compounds may result in damage to the
filter head resulting in product failure and water
leaks and will void the product warranty if used.
c) Securely mount the Filter Head Assembly (item
1) on the cabinet wall using two of the mounting
screws (item 3) provided. The filter head will be
installed vertically or horizontally depending
upon your desired location.
5. Connect Dual Check Valve – (item 4)
IMPORTANT – It is a legal requirement under
Australian Plumbing Standards for the Dual Check
Valve to be installed. If this part is not installed
all warranties are null and void. Refer to the NCC

Tap
Take the braided flex hose that is attached to the
kitchen tap and screw the ½” female end of the
braided flex hose onto the hex nipple (outlet side of
filter head).
8. For Horizontal Installations – Install Stabilizing
Bracket (item 7)
Where the system is installed horizontally the unit
requires support at the base of the filter cartridge
with the Stabilizing Bracket (item 7). Locate the
bracket (item 7) in a position that allows three
important functions;
a) Firstly, the bracket needs to be located so the
Filter Cartridge can be removed when it is
replaced. Suggested location is at the base of the
filter cartridge.
b) The bracket must be level with the filter head
– so that the filter cartridge sits in a level
horizontal position.
c) Finally, the bracket needs to be screwed into
the cabinet using the two remaining mounting
screws (item 3) and set in a manner whereby the
bottom of the bracket supports the water filled
filter cartridge horizontally.
9. Install Filter Cartridge (item 2)
a) Hold Filter Head (item 1) firmly with one hand.
b) Align cartridge notches with filter head.
c) Insert Filter Cartridge (item 2) and push into filter
head assembly (item 1).
d) Turn it to the right (about 1/4 turn) until it stops.

special, general or other damage or expense caused by or
arising out of:
• Any failure to install or use the unit in accordance with
the Manufacturer’s Instructions, the Installation and
Operating Manual or WFA’s printed instructions; or
• The purpose for which you are purchasing the unit.
You acknowledge that the quality of water supplied and
your water usage rate and influent water pressure may
vary seasonally or over a period of time.
In addition to this water characteristics can differ if the
unit is relocated or the environment changes.
You acknowledge that WFA does not know your
requirements and cannot and does not warrant that the
unit is fit for the purpose for which you intend to use the

IMPORTANT This filter is designed to be used with mains/
city water supplies.
Use of this system may increase the bacterial content of
water unless supplementary treatment is provided.
CAUTION Safely isolate the water supply prior to installing
the filter system to avoid injury and property damage.
IMPORTANT NOTICE The WFA Inline Water Filtration
System filters water down to 1 micron. The filter’s very
fine mechanical and chemical filtering process removes
chlorine, dirt and many other potential contaminants.
When water is filtered so finely it can absorb part of
everything it comes into contact with. This can cause taste
and odour issues.
Accordingly, you may find that with new kitchen tapware
the braided flex hose supplied with the new kitchen tap
has a rubber internal. This rubber internal may, in some
instances, cause taste and odour issues when the filtered
water first comes into contact with the hose.
Should this occur then flush the filtered water through
the hose over a period of time to remove taste and odour
issues.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded
under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled
to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for
compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss
or damage. You are also entitled to have all the goods
repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable
quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Refer to www.hiflowwaterfilters.com.au for warranty
details.
Product Specifications: The unit must only be used for a potable
water source and with cold water (with a temperature range
between 2 and 38o C).

unit or is appropriate for the purpose for which you intend
to use the unit. WFA does not authorize others to assume
any obligation on its behalf even if you inform them of the
purpose for which you intend to use this unit.
WARNING WFA does not recommend making alterations
to your existing plumbing to accommodate this filter
system. If you wish to modify existing plumbing you must
comply with AS 3500 and use a licensed plumber.
WARNING The contaminants or other substances
removed or reduced by this water treatment system are
not necessarily in your water supply. Do not use with
water that is microbiologically unsafe or of an unknown
quality without disinfection before or after the system.
IMPORTANT This filter is designed to be used with mains/
city water supplies.
Use of this system may increase the bacterial content of
water unless supplementary treatment is provided.
CAUTION Safely isolate the water supply prior to installing
the filter system to avoid injury and property damage.
IMPORTANT NOTICE The WFA Inline Water Filtration
System filters water down to 1 micron. The filter’s very
fine mechanical and chemical filtering process removes
chlorine, dirt and many other potential contaminants.
When water is filtered so finely it can absorb part of
everything it comes into contact with. This can cause taste
and odour issues.
Accordingly, you may find that with new kitchen tapware
the braided flex hose supplied with the new kitchen tap
has a rubber internal. This rubber internal may, in some
instances, cause taste and odour issues when the filtered
water first comes into contact with the hose.
Should this occur then flush the filtered water through
the hose over a period of time to remove taste and odour
issues.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded
under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled
to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for
compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss
or damage. You are also entitled to have all the goods
repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable
quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Refer to www.hiflowwaterfilters.com.au for warranty
details.
Product Specifications: The unit must only be used for a potable
water source and with cold water (with a temperature range
between 2 and 38o C).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: For correct operation of this system it is
essential to observe the instructions below.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE
PLEASE NOTE FOLLOWING FOR INSTALLATION OF
THIS SYSTEM
• HOSE FITTINGS & HEX ADAPTER WITH SEALING
O-RING
The braided pex hose and hex adapter are fitted with
a sealing o-ring – teflon tape / joining compound
is not required for this fitting. Check the fitting to
ensure the o-ring is in place and not damaged.
Ensure the inlet thread and mounting surface are
smooth and clean. O-ring grease may be applied
to the o-ring as required. Tighten until the o-ring
contacts the surface of the filter head assembly inlet
and outlet, then further tightened by 0.5 turns to
reach approx 3.5 nm of force to compress the o-ring
and effect a seal. DO NOT USE A SEALING TAPE
OR A JOINING COMPOUND WHEN CONNECTING
THE HOSES AND/OR ADAPTER TO THE HEAD
ASSEMBLY.
• MAXIMUM WATER PRESSURE – PRODUCT
WARRANTY
Australian standards call for a maximum water
pressure of 500 kpa for plumbing installations.
Having water pressure above 500 kpa may damage
connected products including water filters and
will void the product warranty. If water pressure
exceeds 500 kpa a watermark approved pressure
limiting valve must be installed at the same time as
installing the water filter system.
• When installing this filter system in a new home or
kitchen please ensure that the cold water lines under
the sink are flushed to remove all debris within the
pipes, before installation of the water filter system.
1. Open Carton and Inspect Parts.

2. Ensure that the cold water at mains supply is turned
off
Where an existing tap and connections are already
installed - after you have turned off the mains cold
water at the mini cistern tap, open the kitchen /
mixer tap and release any water pressure.
Unscrew the braided flex hose from the existing cold
water line mini cistern tap or isolation valve. Clean
the ½” male water connection thread.
3. Undersink Mounting Position
As you will note from the associated diagram,
this Inline Filter System can be installed in either
the horizontal or vertical position. Horizontal is
preferable.
a) Horizontal Position
Measure 460mm horizontally, and mark the
mounting location for the side of the Filter
Head Assembly and end of the filter cartridge.
Make sure there is adequate space to avoid
crimping the water line flex hoses. Also make
sure your chosen location offers easy access for
future cartridge changes and installation of the
stabilizing support bracket. (item 7).
b) Vertical Installation
Measure 460mm from the base of the cabinet (or
shelf), and mark the mounting location for the top
of the Filter Head Assembly. Make sure that there
is adequate space to avoid crimping the water line
flex hoses. Also make sure your chosen location
offers easy access for future cartridge changes.
4. Important - If necessary you can easily change the
direction of the flow of water through the inlet and
outlet of the filter system. You will notice on the
head assembly that the inlet is shown by the word
“IN” and the outlet is shown by the word “OUT”.
To change direction, simply remove the four (4)
screws that hold the mounting bracket to the head
assembly and replace/refit the mounting bracket in
the opposite direction. This allows flexibility when
choosing the desired location for your filter system.
a) Take the Pex Hose 3/8” male connection (item
5) and screw this connection to the inlet side
of the Filter Head Assembly (item 1). This hose
fitting has a sealing o-ring and does not require
plumbing tape or compound to be applied to
create the seal (do not use).You will notice on
the head assembly that the inlet is shown by the
word “IN” and the outlet is shown by the word
“OUT”.
Owners Manual b) Take the Brass Hex Nipple with o-ring (item 6) and
screw this connection into the outlet side of the filter
head (item1). This brass fitting has a sealing o-ring
and does not require plumbing tape or compound to
be applied to create the seal (do not use).
IMPORTANT: Plumbing tape and/or sealing
compounds shall not be used as item 5 and item
6 have a sealing o-ring. Use of thread tape or
sealing compounds may result in damage to the
filter head resulting in product failure and water
leaks and will void the product warranty if used.
c) Securely mount the Filter Head Assembly (item
1) on the cabinet wall using two of the mounting
screws (item 3) provided. The filter head will be
installed vertically or horizontally depending
upon your desired location.
5. Connect Dual Check Valve – (item 4)
IMPORTANT – It is a legal requirement under
Australian Plumbing Standards for the Dual Check
Valve to be installed. If this part is not installed
all warranties are null and void. Refer to the NCC
Volume three, The Plumbing Code of Australia for
the requirements of backflow prevention.
Apply plumbing tape (item 9) to the ½” male water
connection cistern tap fitting before screwing on the
dual check valve (item 4).
6. Attach Pex Hose (item 5)
Connect the ½” female end of the Pex Hose
(item 5) - to the ½” male end of the Dual Check valve
(item 4) as shown in the diagram.
7. Attach Filtered Water to Cold Water Line of Kitchen
Tap
Take the braided flex hose that is attached to the
kitchen tap and screw the ½” female end of the
braided flex hose onto the hex nipple (outlet side of
filter head).
8. For Horizontal Installations – Install Stabilizing
Bracket (item 7)
Where the system is installed horizontally the unit
requires support at the base of the filter cartridge
with the Stabilizing Bracket (item 7). Locate the
bracket (item 7) in a position that allows three
important functions;
a) Firstly, the bracket needs to be located so the
Filter Cartridge can be removed when it is
replaced. Suggested location is at the base of the
filter cartridge.
b) The bracket must be level with the filter head
– so that the filter cartridge sits in a level
horizontal position.
c) Finally, the bracket needs to be screwed into
the cabinet using the two remaining mounting
screws (item 3) and set in a manner whereby the
bottom of the bracket supports the water filled
filter cartridge horizontally.
9. Install Filter Cartridge (item 2)
a) Hold Filter Head (item 1) firmly with one hand.
b) Align cartridge notches with filter head.
c) Insert Filter Cartridge (item 2) and push into filter
head assembly (item 1).
d) Turn it to the right (about 1/4 turn) until it stops.
10. Flush the Filter Cartridge
a) Turn water supply back on at either the mains
or at the cold water mini cistern tap.
b) At this stage check for leaks and fix if necessary
c) Turn kitchen tap on and flush the filter cartridge
for at least 2–3 minutes. Collect water in
container and use for garden etc.
NOTE – Flushing the filter cartridge is important to
remove air from the system and any loose carbon
powder. At first the water may appear cloudy due
to compressed trapped air in the filter and hoses.
However the cloudiness will disappear over time and
with use.
11. Installing the Filter Monitor Alarm (item 8)
The Filter Monitor Alarm (item 8) is supplied to
assist you with knowing when it is time to replace
your Filter Cartridge. Regular annual cartridge
replacement ensures that your filter system is
maintained in accordance with the manufacturers
recommendations.
a) Remove plastic wrapper from monitor and
remove installation instructions.
b) On the back of the monitor - pull the tab back.
c) The LED and buzzer will cycle 3 times to
confirm the start.
d) It is programmed to flash and sound again in 11
months.
e) Remove the two adhesive tapes from the back
of the monitor and locate/mount in a convenient
location under your kitchen sink or on the filter
cartridge.
NOTES
1) This installation must comply with all applicable
state and local regulations.
2) Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of an unknown quality without
disinfection before or after the system.
3) When storing filtered water in a refrigerator please
