Installation

This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15mm ( 12 ) male thread to an existing tap or mixer tap (cold supply only - hot water should be filtered prior to heating). Also includes extending kit, where extra length is required.

Installation Requirements

1. 15mm ( 12 ) cold water flexi-connector to tap.
2. Water supply pressure: 200-689 kPa.
3. Water supply temperature: 0°-38°C (protect from freezing).

Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15mm ( 12 ) copper pipe. No electrical or drainage requirements.

Installation Procedure

1. Select suitable location that is close to the existing tap. Remember to allow access room for changing filter and a suitable place where water spillage will not cause damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.
2. Isolate water supply and release water pressure by operating faucet lever. Disconnect existing braided hose connections from the cold water line.
3. Attach non-return valve to water supply with thread seal tape. Then detach the 1/2" DR Brass adaptor from the non-return valve, apply thread seal tape as necessary and reconnect to the non-return valve.
4. Install filter cartridge to the head assembly (see Fig. 1). Please note the arrow on the cartridge label indicates Undo and Install directions.
5. Push the joint brass/stem adaptors into the inlet and outlet of the cartridge head, ensuring they are pushed in all the way.
6. Install system assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of fixing holes and fixing with mounting screws (PureMix Z Series can be mounted horizontally and vertically). Allow room for the connecting tubes and for removing the cartridge (70mm).
7. Connect the braided hose onto brass adaptor, then connect to the cartridge head assembly inlet (please note the arrow on the head indicating the direction of the water flow). A hose extension kit has been provided if necessary, this can be used to extend the hose either side of the system. Ensure the hose is kink free.
8. Connect the mixer tap's braided hose to the brass adaptor on the head outlet. Make sure all fittings are tight and braided hose is kink free.
9. Restore the water supply and check for leaks. If leaking occurs then undo cartridge and check the cartridge is seated properly.
10. Run the system for at least 10 minutes (turn on mixer tap to run cold water) to remove carbon fines. Water may appear milky, but this is normal and is only tiny air bubbles that will clear after a short period.

3. Turn on the water and check for leaks. If leaks occur, repeat step 2 & 3. If leaks persist, discontinue use and call your supporting dealer.

4. Flush filter for 5 minutes before use or until water runs clear.
