Fitting your system couldn't be easier. The instructions below cover both water filter systems and are
quite detailed but this is to highlight just how easy it really is. If you have drilled a hole before, screwed up
a nut and bolt and followed simple Lego instructions then you will have no problems with fitting your system.
Installation will take approx 30 - 40 minutes in total.

Step 1 - Planning
The most important part of any installation is the planning before you start - so the first step is to read through the instructions below and then start to plan where everything will go.
-
Select a place for the tap to be mounted, ensuring that the spout is over the sink. This may be through the surround of a stainless steel or plastic sink or through the worktop adjacent to the sink (the worktop is easier).
see Tap Location diagram
-
Find a suitable place on the cold supply pipe for the saddle valve to be mounted. If you are not sure which pipe is the cold one, run the hot tap for a few seconds and mark the cold pipe with a felt pen. Ensure that you will be able to operate the saddle valve tap in this position and that the red plastic pipe will not be obstructed by anything.
see Saddle Valve diagram
-
Next select a place on a side wall at the back of the cupboard under the sink, for the filter housing(s) to be mounted. The Carbon and Ceramic filters can be mounted at any angle.
see Mounting Layout diagram
-
Ensure that the red and blue pipes will reach your chosen positions without being over stretched. (If you bend the pipes so that they kink, it will reduce the water flow).
-
Locate the Mains Stop Tap. You do not have to turn the water off to fit your system but it is a safe precaution to know where the tap is before you start.

Step 2 - Mount the Tap
Using the mounting washer and a pencil, mark a circle where you will be drilling your hole. Drill the hole with a 12mm or ½ “ drill bit. Assemble and fit the tap according to the diagram and tighten the nuts with a 10mm or adjustable spanner. Do not over tighten.
see Tap Assembly diagram |
|
Step 3 - Mount the Saddle Valve
Fully unscrew the tap on the Saddle Valve. Unscrew the mounting nut and position the valve on the cold pipe as in the diagram. Tighten the mounting nut so that the saddle valve is tight on the pipe but do not over tighten as this could damage the pipe. Do not screw the Saddle Valve tap down yet.
see Saddle Valve diagram |
|
Step 4 - Mount the Filter Housing
Ensure the rubber 'O' ring seals are positioned correctly in the neck of the filter housing(s). Insert the carbon (and ceramic) filter element(s) carefully into their housings and screw on the cap(s).
Screw the mounting bracket(s) to your chosen position(s) on the side wall of the sink cabinet and then push the filter housing(s) into it/them.
|
|
Step 5 - Connect Up the System
System 1 - Push the push-fit connectors onto either end of the filter housing then push the red pipe into the bottom connector & the blue pipe into the top connector.
see System 1 diagram
System 2 - Push the red pipe from the saddle valve into the bottom connector of the Ceramic filter housing and the blue pipe from the tap into the top connector of the Carbon filter housing. Lastly, connect the two housings together with the link pipe provided. Do not shorten the link pipe as it may kink or put undue stress on the push-fits. Follow this diagram for best fitting position.
see System 2 diagram

Step 6 - Turn the System on and Test
Open the tap on the sink/worktop by lifting the tap lever upwards. Next screw the tap (not the mounting nut) on the saddle valve fully down (clockwise) - this will pierce the pipe. Next unscrew it in the opposite direction. Water will start to flow through the filter and out of your new tap by the sink. There will be a lot of air to dispel in the filter so flush at least 20 litres of water through the system before turning it off. Check for leaks.
When the air has been dispelled, turn the saddle valve tap down to an acceptable flow.
Chlorine is removed by absorbtion and therefore the slower the flow, the more chlorine is removed.
Your water filter system is fully installed and you now have crystal clear drinking water Ontap.

Note: To remove push-fit connectors, push the pipe & collet into the connector & then the pipe will pull out easily.
DO NOT PULL THE PIPE OUT UNLESS IT COMES OUT EASILY. The picture is of a straight connector but the principle is the same for all our push-fit connectors. see Push-fit Connector diagram
