1.3 Before you begin
•Before you start, please read through these instructions carefully. Fitting the Flostream may
involve:
oCutting into a section of flexible hose or water supply pipe. Ensure plastic pipe cuts are
square and no burrs are left on the cut end as this may damage the seal.
oMounting the Flostream filter by bolting or screwing the Twist Lock Head or mounting
bracket to a solid fixing point.
oThe position you mount the Flostream in must allow for the bowl to be removed for
cartridge replacement. Leave a minimum of 25 mm below the filter
housing to allow cartridge removal. Do not mount in direct sunlight.
