Option 1: KDF/GAC for High Flow Town & Tank Water supplies.

5 micron high flow rate and Chlorine capacity and Tank water with low pressure. The most popular high-flow water filter for town water.

Option 2: PHOS/GAC for Scale, Bad Taste/Odour Reduction

5 micron high flow filter with scale inhibitor to protect coffee machines, taps, and appliances from scale build-up. A great choice for anyone with a coffee machine.

Option 3: GTS1-10 for Tank Water supplies and low pressure Town Water

A finer 1 micron silver impregnated filter which pro protection from Cysts including cryptosporidium, cyclospora, and giardia.

Silver impregnated carbon is preferred for untreated water as it is bacteriostatic. This means it will lreduce the risk of bacterial growth within the carbon itself.

Please note: This does not prevent bacteria from flowing through, it only reduces the risk of growth within the carbon. If you require bacteria protection, a ceramic filter or UV water steriliser should be installed.

Option 4: FL051 & KDF/GAC for Town Water supplies with Fluoride

5 micron This option uses a Fluoride filter as the first stage and KDF / GAC as the second stage.

Please note: Fluoride reduction filter require a slow flow rate to be effective. Within this option, care should be taken to keep your flow rate below 3 litres per minute. These filters also have a limited capacity of approximately 1,900 Litres, so cold water should only be used for consumption (not for washing dishes).

Installation Guide

The filters are inside the filter housings.

1. Place an old towel on the base of the cupboard to wipe up any water.
2. Identify the cold water line leading to your sink.
3. Turn off the cold water supply, release the water pressure in the line by turning on the cold
   tap, undo the existing cold water hose from the wall or tap under the sink and fit to the
   hose from the inlet side of the new system into cold water supply.
4. Reconnect the existing braided line from the sink tap to the hose on the outlet side of the
   filter system using the brass joining nipple supplied. Most braided lines have a rubber
   olive seal inside the female ends and do not require thread tape – apply thread tape to
   joins if no rubber olive
5. Turn on the cold water sink tap and leave on.
6. Turn on the water supply tap and flush the new filters for 3 – 4 minutes, turn off and on the
   sink tap to let air or fines out of the system.
7. Turn off the sink tap and check for leaks.

Filter Changing

• As the filters are so fine you may have some air bubbles in the water for a few days, this
  will go away.
• The main thing to remember when changing filters is to turn off the water supply tap and turn on the sink
  tap to release the water pressure.
• When turning the water back on make sure the tap on
  the sink is open otherwise air will get trapped in the filters for a few days, this doesn’t affect
  the water quality but the water may appear cloudy from air bubbles.
• Always lubricate the housing O-rings with a silicon based lubricant – or use some
  vegetable or cooking oil – do not use petroleum based lubricants that may affect rubber O-rings.
• Tighten the housing sumps by hand only – the spanner is used to undo the housing sumps
  as they can get tight after use.

Recommended replacement of filters 6-12 months depending on water quality and usage.

A pressure limiting valve is recommend to protect the system in high pressure areas.
