Preparing the Fittings
Both the Zada and Zada Pro have blank fittings applied by default, this is to protect the inlet and outlet of the filtration
systems during transport. First of all, let’s remove the blank fittings.
Removing the blank fittings
To remove the blank fittings, simply push the collar in towards the fitting with whilst pulling the blank fitting away
from the main fitting. Sounds a little confusing but the illustration below should help.
1. Hold the Collar
2. Pull the blank fitting out
Inserting the Elbow Connectors
Now to insert elbow connections, simply push the straight side (3/4”) to the inlet and outlet plugs ensuring it’s inserted
until it doesn’t go in anymore.
Insert Elbow Connectors

Feed Water Connection
The purpose of the feed water connection is to feed the system with water to be purified by
tapping the cold-water supply which is usually located under the kitchen counter.
Before you start, please ensure you have turned off the main water supply
and always ensure there is a bucket or bowl and dry cloth for unforeseen
circumstances.
Please see figure below for instructions on how to make the feed water connection.
Please note, depending on manufacturers stock some of the metal ball valves may be with ‘Screw Fitting’ rather than
the ‘Push Fitting’ illustrated above. In this case, simply follow the instructions below:
Step 1:

Tap Connection
First of all, a proper location to mount the tap needs to be selected, paying close attention to the placement of the
tap stem under the counter.
Ensure you use the correct type of drill bit for your counter type
Hammer Drill Bit: Cement, Tile, Granite, Marble & Marmoreal
HSS Drill Bit: Steel, Wood, Chrome, Metal & Aluminium
1. Drill initial hole using a 5mm drill bit then use a 12mm drill bit to enlarge the hole to the proper diameter
2. Place the tap through the drilled hole and mount it to the sink per the images above
3. Install the Flange, Rubber Gasket, Locking Washer
4. Tighten the tap with the Faucet Nut using a Spanner
5. Insert the Tubing Pin to the white tube provided and connect to the taps stem using the Tubing Ring & Nut
6. Connect the other end of the tubing to the “Clean Water” port on the system and you’re good to go!

Mounting the Zada / Zada Pro
Mounting the Zada or the Zada Pro is really simple as it is already supplied with the mount and the parts for mounting
it. Please ensure that there is at least 10cm empty below the bottom of the filter system to ensure you have enough
space to pull the filter(s) down when the filter is due to be replaced.
Simply mark the cupboard with the two holes once you’re satisfied with the height of the mount location, then simply
hold the Zada / Zada Pro up and screw into the preferred location.
Min: 10cm
Hommix 3-Way Tap Connection
Connecting your tap to a Hommix 3-Way Tap is really simple. Once you’ve followed the steps above to mount and connect your
Zada / Zada Pro to the feed water, simply connect the tube to the Hommix 3-Way tap using one of the three methods below
(connections differ for different types of Hommix 3-Way Taps).

Replacing the Filters
Please make sure the Metal Ball Valve is turned off to ensure water flow is stopped before removing the filter
Replacing the filters have never been so simple. By default, the filters will be locked; simply unlock the filter then twist and pull it
down to remove. Please follow guided diagrams below.
To unlock the filter, turn the nozzle
anti-clockwise until you hear a click.
1
Once unlocked, simply turn the filter clockwise / towards the left (follow the arrow on the
bottom of the filter) and you can pull it down once completely released.
2
To install the new filter, simply push up and turn back into place then lock the filter by turning the nozzle clockwise until you hear
the click once more. You will receive an automated email when the filters are due replacement. The email will consist of link(s)
to the replacement filter(s) if you have not purchased them yet.
*Important Note for New Installation and Replacement Filters*
You may get a metallic or an initial unpleasant taste / odour, this is due to the nano-particles within the filtration system. Simply
flush the system by letting the water run for 15 minutes, then again after an hour or two later. Repeat this process a few times
and the taste will improve as the filters would have been flushed. Also, do bear in mind that the taste will require getting used to,
as the fresh filtered water will not taste like bottled water nor hard tap water.
