If the Aquaport water filter system has not been used for over 48 hours, 1 to 2 litres of water will need to be flushed through the system before the water is used.

The Aquaport water system has a maximum and minimum water supply pressure limits. The water supply pressure must not exceed the maximum and minimum water supply pressure limits specified in the Systems Specifications for your system.

Where water pressure exceeds maximum recommended working pressure a WaterMarked approved Pressure Limiting Valve must be installed prior to the filter system.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INTERVALS

It is recommended that the filter cartridge is replaced within

12 months or 10,000 litres whichever occurs first.

Register online at www.aquaport.com.au

Dependent on water quality and the volume of water being filtered, the life and performance of a cartridge may vary. If you notice a reduction in volume or flow from the filter faucet, or return of an unpleasant taste/odour to the filtered water, the filter cartridge(s) will need replacing.

Note:

Use only original Aquaport cartridges suitable for this appliance, otherwise warranty will be void.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

Preferred installation utilising existing water supply and flexible cold water hose is shown on Page 3.

Note:

Plumbing connections may vary, please consult a qualified plumber for correct installation method for your home.

1. Water Supply Installation

a) Locate cold tap water pipe and turn water supply off at the isolation tap. If no isolation tap is available, turn water off at the meter. Turn on tap at sink to ensure water is turned off and to drain the pipe.

b) Remove the flexible cold water hose that connects the cold water faucet to the cold mains connection. Some water may spill out.

c) Wrap plumbing tape around cold water stud in a clockwise direction.

Note:

Do not apply plumbing tape in a counter clockwise direction, it releases the plumbing tape and leaks may occur.

d) Hand tighten the brass dual check valve (4) to the mains cold water stud (please see Fig 1). Water flow should be in the direction of the arrow on dual check valve. Finish tightening with an adjustable wrench.

Be careful not to over tighten, as cross threading and leaking can occur.

IMPORTANT:

It is a legal requirement under Australian Plumbing

Standards that the Dual Check Valve be installed. If this part is not installed all warranties are null and void.

e) Wrap plumbing tape around male thread of brass dual check valve (4) in a clockwise direction.

f) Hand tighten the Female 1/2” thread to 3/8” push in fitting (5) to the male thread of brass dual check valve

(4). g) Wrap plumbing tape around the male thread of the

3/8” push in fitting to male 1/2” thread fitting (6) in a clockwise direction. h) Hand tighten the 3/8” push in fitting to male 1/2” thread fitting (6) onto the female thread of the existing cold water flexible hose connected to the tap.

2. Mounting Filtration System

a) Pick a location under the sink to mount the system.

Location should be easily accessible, with clearance at the top and bottom of the filter, to allow ease of removal of filter cartridge. Please ensure there is enough space on either side of the system for the tubing connections. See Fig 2.

WARNING:

On the Filter Head (2a) there is an arrow that indicates the direction of water flow into and out of the filter head. When you mount the filter you must ensure that the water flow will run in the direction of the arrow. b). Rotate the filter cartridge (1) towards the left by a 1/4 turn and pull filter down.

c). Check to ensure that mounting bracket (2b) is attached to filter head (2a).

d). Mark location of fixing holes, and fix unit to cupboard with mounting screws provided. Note: Remember to allow approximately 100mm above and below and

200mm on the sides of the filter cartridge to allow ease of filter cartridge change.

e). Insert filter cartridge (1) back into the filter head (2a) and rotate towards the right a 1/4 turn to lock filter back into place. Ensure that the ‘LOCK’ arrow located in the middle of the filter cartridge corresponds with the downward arrow on the filter head.

Note:

Filter head (2a) will come with small plugs in the hose

Inlet (2c) and outlet (2d), to protect the system during shipping.

These plugs are to be removed before installation.

3. Tubing Installation

The Filtration System has been supplied with quick and easy to install quick connections.

a) Measure a length of 3/8” tubing (3) to run from the

Female 1/2” thread to 3/8” push in fitting (5) to the filter head inlet (2c) and another length of tubing to run from the filter head outlet (2d) to the end of the cold water flexible hose connected to the tap. b) Install the tubing as per the installation diagram on page 3. To install tubing, push tubing into connections and give a slight pull to ensure tubing is secure.

Note:

check the end of the tubing to make sure there are no cuts, nicks, flat spots or sharp edges. If any of these are present, re-cut the end with a tube cutter or utility knife. The cut must be perfectly straight with no angle, otherwise leaking from the connections may occur.

Note:

To remove tubing, push collet against the face of fitting and remove the hose (with collet still held against fitting face).

Fig 3.

4. System Start Up

a) Turn cold tap to ‘ON’ position. Turn water supply ‘ON’ slowly at isolation tap or water meter. Note- air may be purged from the filter system at this time. b) Check for any leaks and fix if necessary. If leaks are present connections may need to be reinstalled.

c) Leave tap on to allow water to flush through the system for approximately 5 minutes. You may wish to collect the water for use in the garden.

Note:

Tiny air bubbles being expelled from the cartridge will cause the water supply to appear “cloudy”, this is normal.

This condition will clear itself over use, or you may flush water through the system until water appears clear. d) Your Aquaport water filtration system is now ready to produce refreshing, great tasting water for you and your family.
