Before Installation

This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15mm (½”) 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 Note: A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited lifespan and if not replaced, will eventually fail. Failure can happen early due to unforeseen circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. We strongly recommend that a drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage. We also strongly recommend that the water supply be turned off, upstream to the water filter system/tap, if no one is home for an extended period of time.

INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

Installation Requirements

1. 15mm (½”) cold water flexi-connector to tap.

2. Water supply pressure: 200 – 520 kPa.
   Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards.

3. Water supply temperature: 0° – 38 °C (protect from freezing).

Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15 mm (½”) copper pipe (copper pipe not included). No electrical or drainage requirements.

Note: Allow extra free space around the system to avoid accidental impact.

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. Install filter cartridge to the head assembly (see Fig. 2-4). Please note the arrow on the cartridge label indicates Undo and Install directions.
   Warning: Ensuring the cartridge is in the correct lock position is critical prior to operating the system. Not being seated in the correct position can cause the locking tabs to shear and damage the head and/or water leakage. See Fig 4 for the correct position.

4. Push one of the joint stem adaptors into the outlet of the cartridge head, ensuring it is pushed in all the way.

5. 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 (70 mm).
   Note: Knocking the cartridge can cause the cartridge to come out of the locking position. To limit the likelihood of this occurring it is best not to store items too close to the system to avoid accidental dislodgement of the cartridge.

6. Connect the braided hose (cold water line) to the other stem adaptor.

7. Connect the inlet stem adaptor to the supplied pressure limiting valve (multivalve) , then connect the pressure limiting valve to the cartridge head assembly inlet with the supplied piece of high pressure tubing (white). See Fig. 1.
   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 stem 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.

Figure 3 – How To Use Quick Connect Fittings

1. Cut the tube square and push in to the tube stop. For metal tube remove burrs and chamfer tube end to prevent O- Ring seal being damaged.

2. Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed in to tube stop.

3. Tube is secured in position.
   DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE

4. Push collet against body and slide tube out of fitting.

Use Guidelines

• Use for mains water supply.

• Minimum operating pressure 200 kPa.

• Maximum operating pressure 520 kPa.
  Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards.

• Do not allow exposure to temperatures below 0 °C, protect from freezing.

• Maximum operating temperature 38 °C.

• Nominal flow rate 5 Lpm at 420 kPa.

• This system must be installed according to local plumbing codes on the cold water line only.

• This system requires regular replacement of the filter cartridge to maintain proper operation. Varying chlorine, sediment, or organic substance levels may affect replacement frequency.

• Be sure to change the filter cartridge at least every 38,000 litres or every 6 – 12 months which ever occurs first; or whenever you detect a change in taste, odour, or decrease in flow.
  Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
