Frequently Asked Questions - DALPUR2/SS Caple

How do I install the Caple DALPUR2/SS faucet?

First, shut off the main water supply. Remove the old faucet and prepare a hole for the new one. Connect the braided hoses to the tap base (hot, cold, filtered). Then connect hot to 15mm copper supply, cold via diverter tee, and filtered water tube to the filter. Refer to the included diagram for proper routing. Finally, turn on water slowly and check for leaks.

What type of filter does this faucet use?

The faucet is compatible with an under-sink water filter system. The package includes a filter bracket and 3/8" push-fit adaptors. Use standard 3/8" flexible tubing to connect the diverter tee to the filter and then to the faucet's filtered inlet.

How do I replace the water filter?

Shut off the water supply to the filter via the valve on the diverter tee. Push down on the grey ring (collet) on the adaptors while pulling the body to disconnect. Replace the filter with a new one, ensuring the flow arrow points toward the faucet. Push the adaptors firmly into place, open the valve, and run water until clear.

What should I do if there is a leak after installation?

First, check that all connections are tight but not over-tightened. Inspect the braided hoses for cracks or damage. Ensure the PTFE tape is properly wrapped on threaded connections. If the leak persists, consult the manual or contact Caple support.

Can I install this faucet on a granite worktop?

Yes, as long as you have a suitable hole and the worktop is thick enough to support the faucet base. Use appropriate mounting hardware for granite (e.g., epoxy or special gaskets) not included.

What is the recommended water pressure for this faucet?

The faucet is designed for standard mains water pressure (typically 0.5-5 bar). For optimal filtered water flow, ensure the supply pressure is within the filter's specified range (check filter manual).

How do I clean the faucet?

Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel finish. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need adjustable wrenches, PTFE tape, a drill (if new hole needed), and possibly a basin wrench for tight spaces. All necessary fittings except copper supply pipes are included.

The filtered water is cloudy or discolored. What's wrong?

Discolored water is normal during initial startup due to carbon fines from the filter. Run the filtered water for 5-10 minutes until it runs clear. If persistent, the filter may be exhausted and needs replacement.

How long does the filter last?

Filter life depends on water quality and usage. Typically, under-sink filters last 6-12 months. Replace when flow reduces or taste changes. Some filters have a built-in timer.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Remove all the components from the packing, check for transport damage and that all the parts are present.

Shut off the mains cold water and hot water supplies to the existing tap (if present) and drain the pipe work in the property to below the area of the pipes that require altering.

Remove the old tap and prepare a hole for the new tap as shown in the fitting instructions provided with the tap.

Prepare the existing hot and cold pipe work so it terminates in the area below the new tap. As flexible connections are provided, the pipes don't have to terminate directly below the new tap however, ensuring the pipe runs smooth is good practice.

INSTALLING THE TAP

1. Please refer to the dedicated installation instructions for fixing the tap to a sink or worktop.
2. Screw each of the braided hoses into the base of the tap, making sure that you remember which hose is for hot, cold and filtered connections. Do not over-tighten the hoses into the base of the tap.
3. Connect the 'hot water' braided hose to the 15mm copper supply (fitting not included).
4. Connect the diverter tee to the cold mains water supply (fitting not included) and then to the braided hose leading to the cold water inlet of the tap (see diagram).
5. Wrap PTFE around the threads of the filtered water tube adaptor and tighten it into the remaining braided hose that leads to the filtered inlet on the tap.
6. Using the screw provided, fix the filter bracket to the wall of the cupboard at a point between the valved branch of

the tee and the push fit inlet of the filtered water tube adaptor. Fit the filter into the bracket with the flow arrow pointing towards the filtered inlet of the tap.

1. Push the two 3/8"x 3/8" adaptors firmly onto each end of the filter. To remove the adaptors during a filter change, simply push down on the grey ring (collet) whilst pulling the body of the fitting.
2. Unwind the 3/8" flexible tubing and push one end (firmly) into the valved outlet on the side of the diverter tee. Run the tubing in a smooth flow path and cut it to length where it will enter the inlet of the filter (see diagram). Push the cut end of the tubing into the fitting on the inlet of the filter.
3. Push one end of the remaining tube into the fitting on the filtered water inlet of the tap and run it in a smooth flow path to the fitting on the outlet of the filter. Cut the tube to length and push it in firmly.

START UP

Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supplies to the new tap, check for leaks and rectify as required.

Open the valve on the branch of the diverter tee slowly and open the filtered outlet on the tap. Allow the supply to run for a short while to clear any air and carbon fines (discoloured water is normal during the start up). Close the filtered outlet on the tap, check for leaks and rectify as required.

For best results from the filtered water outlet, the supply should be run until the water is cool to the touch.
