Installation

This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15 mm (½”) copper pipe (cold supply only – hot water should be filtered prior to heating).
This product must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a licensed plumber.
Installation Note: A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens 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. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be turned off if no one is home/present.
Installation Requirements

• 15 mm (½”) cold water line.
• Power supply: 240 VAC (ESR2 model only).
• Supply pressure: 300 – 875 kPa. Install pressure limiting valve if pressure exceeds 875 kPa.
• Supply temperature 0 °C – 52 °C.
• Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15 mm (½”) copper pipe.
• Caution: Do not use water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate treatment before or after the system.

Application warning; minimum water characteristics must be met before installation of Radfire™ to ensure proper operation and continuous protection.

Installation Procedure

1. Before attempting installation, check all components are intact and have not been damaged in transit.

2. Select a suitable location that is close to the point of filtered water delivery (eg. sink). Remember to allow access room for changing filters and a suitable place where water spillage will not cause damage. The location should not be in direct sunlight. A  power outlet is required for ESR2 models.

3. Isolate water supply and install the SmartTee™.

4. Choose the best position for the faucet, taking into consideration height of containers & drainage of any spills. Then drill a 12 mm hole and install the faucet as in step 5.

5. To install the faucet, connect spout to the base of the faucet, ensuring that the white circlip is flush with the groove on the spout. Push down on the spout cap until it clicks, then tighten by hand. Once connected, place the escutcheon and O-ring supplied onto the base of the tap. Insert into the countertop or sink and place the plastic washer, lock washer and locking nut onto the thread and tighten, ensuring the tap is in the correct position on the bench. Then place the olive in the 1/4″  compression nut, then onto the 1/4″ Tube and the olive insert into the end of the tube and attach to the top thread.

6. Install the filter housing assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of fixing holes, and fixing with mounting screws. Allow 50 mm under the unit for cartridge changes. For ESR2 models, also allow 350 mm clearance to the side of the unit for lamp changes (lamp exit and entry point can be determined by the installer).

7. Fit tubing into the SmartTee™ to the filter and filter to the faucet (see Fig. 2 & 3 on how to use quick-connect fittings). Allow slack in the tubing. Make sure flow is right according to the inlet-outlet on housing assembly.

8. Unscrew filter housing using the spanner wrench.

9. Check O-ring and lubricate with food-grade silicone lubricant (or similar).
   Steps 10 to 13 apply to ESR2 models only (ESR models proceed to step 14).

10. Unscrew the aluminum nuts on each end of the chamber. Never touch the quartz (glass) and lamp surface as marks or fingerprints may interfere with UV transmission. If lamp is soiled, please clean the lamp with an alcohol-based cleaner.

11. Take the quartz sleeve out of its packaging and slide one of the two O-rings over one end of the quartz sleeve.

12. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve into the chamber via the end with no O-ring and attach the second O-ring onto the end once it is in place.

13. Screw the aluminum nuts back onto to each end of the chamber.

14. Restore the water supply and check for leaks. The filters need to be only hand-tight. If they leak then undo housing and check the O-ring is sealed properly.

Cartridge Installation

Cartridge Installation / Replacement
To change the filter cartridges adhere to the following procedure.

1. Turn the mains water supply off.
2.  Relieve water pressure by operating the faucet lever.
3. Unscrew Filter Housing using the spanner wrench and discard cartridges. When removing housings place a container underneath to catch any spillage.
4. Cleanse the inside of the housing using hot water and detergent. Check O-ring and lubricate with food-grade silicone lubricant (or similar). Replace O-ring if kinked or damaged (PN: FPOR).
5. Install new cartridges and replace housing screwing them up HAND TIGHT ONLY. The sediment filter is on the inlet side and the chemical on the outlet side.
6. Restore water supply & check for leaks, rectifying them, if any, before leaving the unit. After installing cartridges flush the unit for 5 – 10 minutes.

CE941 Cartridge Cleaning (ES2 model only)
Use a toothbrush or a piece of steel wool to clean the cartridge. Flush for 1 – 2 minutes after cleaning. Ceramic elements may be cleaned 100 or more times and will last up to 18 months.
Cleaning Quartz Sleeve (ESR2 model only)
To ensure a high sterilizing rate with best water quality, check sleeve regularly (about every 3 months depending on the quality of the water source). To see whether there is dirt or substances gathered. Clean with alcohol-based cleaner if necessary.
Quartz Sleeve Maintenance Procedure (ESR2 model only)

1. Unplug the power supply. Remove UV lamp before taking out the quartz sleeve and pour out the water. Turn counterclockwise the aluminum nut on both sides of the chamber and extremely gently to remove the quartz sleeve.
2. Soak a piece of cloth in vinegar or citric to clean the quartz sleeve.
3. Put the quartz sleeve back into the stainless steel chamber and make an equal distance at both sides of the chamber.
4. Dampen the seal O-ring and end of the quartz sleeve then turn clockwise the aluminum nuts with hands tightly.
5. Check all connections to prevent leakage.
6. Insert UV lamp into stainless steel chamber and put on the rubber cap to complete the cleaning.

UV Lamp Installation / Replacement (ESR2 model only)

• Prior to performing any work on the sterilizer, always disconnect the power supply first.
• Do not look directly into ultraviolet rays emitted from the UV lamp as they will cause serious burns to unprotected eyes.
• This treated water will seem warm at first flow for a short period when it is not used, as the lamp creates heat; you can flush it before use.

Figure 4

1. Turn the aluminum nut clockwise to fix the quartz position (default setting from the manufacturer, see Fig. 4).
2. Insert UV lamp into the chamber through the hole of the aluminum nut end. Never touch the quartz (glass) and lamp surface as spots of fingerprints may interfere with UV transmission. If the lamp is dirtied, please clean the lamp with an alcohol-based cleaner.
3. Put a rubber cap on the aluminum nut end to complete the assembly.
4. Plug-in power connector with ballast and make sure that the LED is illuminated steadily to start operation. This should be all carried out by relevant qualified tradesmen.
