PICTURES are provided in the pack

(A) Select the position of the tap on your counter or sink unit. TIP Ensure you have room underneath to connect filter to botttom of tap.

Drill a 12mm hole.

(B) Insert the tail of the pipe through the hole and secure using the washers and locking nuts provided. (See Photo 1).

Connect the plastic pipe to the tap making sure that you use the white plastic insert and olive. (See Photo 1).


(C) Connect the saddle valve to the cold water pipe. (See Photo 2).

Finger tighten the clamp by turning the bottom nut.

Then tighten properly with a spanner.

NB Do NOT overtighten. One or two spanner turns after finger tight should do. Do not split your pipe! The aim is simply to make the sadle valve immovable on the pipe.



(D) Once saddle clamp is secured firmly on pipe, turn the T bar tap on the saddle clamp. (See Photo 2). (This will pierce the pipe with a metal pin – invisibly.)

Turn tap all the way down.

Then turn a few turns back to allow water to flow.

Check for leaks. If there are any leaks the fittings need to be tightened.


(E) Open the ball valve (See Photo 3). and then the countertop tap (ie tap in Photo 1).

Finally: flush the filter through by running approx 5 litres before using the water.

Repeat this after any non use of unit for more than 2 days eg after holidays
