How to Install Your Ultra Filtration Pod

How To Install Your UltraFiltration Pod

Time required: 10 to 15 minutes. Tools: Pliers to undo/redo your hose connection nuts. Drill (optional) Screwdriver (Optional) 

STEP 1 - Mount the system (Optional) 

You can mount the system under your sink using the 

screws provided. (Note: Leave at least two inches of 

clearance from the Purity Pod base to the ground for 

easier filter replacement.) 

If you opt not to mount it simply stand the unit 

upright. Make sure it is not knocked around too much - 

but it is quite robust! 

The filter is already in the housing. The top of the 

housing unscrews anti- clockwise ie normally. Make 

sure it is tightened. 

You can either attach the housing to the cupboard wall 

(using the screws provided through holes in the bracket at 

the top of the housing)... 

OR you can leave it free standing. If so it's best to keep it 

upright. 

TIP If attaching to the wall, choose a position which will 

make future cartridge changing simple.

The best way to do this is to have the unit fixed to the 

cupboard wall so that it leaves a couple of inches below 

for easy unscrewing / detaching of the bottom half. 

Step 2: Fit the Mini Tap 

a) Select the position of the tap on your counter / sink unit. 

TIP Ensure you have room underneath to connect filter 

to the bottom of the tap. 

b) Drill a 12mm hole. 

TIP use a smaller drill bit first to make a "pilot hole". 

c) Fit the above counter washers to the tap tail. 

These are (in order from top to bottom): 

Large chrome washer - this might have a 

blue removable film on it which you can simply peel off - then 

Large / thin washer - this goes against the countertop 

(Note: If the plastic tube connector is already connected to the bottom of the tap: In order to fit the washers you can quickly remove the connector. To do this you simply need to push in the collet / small ring - that the tap tail goes into - while pulling the tap tail out. Doing this releases the connector). 

(Note: You do not require the large washers in Step 3 if the plastic tube connector is inbuilt to the stem of the tap). 

d) Now insert tap tail through the hole. 

e) Secure the tap underneath the counter by using the remaining Washers. Hard washer - goes at top ie against the underside of the counter top 

The Fixing Nut that goes onto the tap tail screw thread 

f) Tighten this all up to secure the tap firmly to the counter top.

STEP 3: Connect the saddle valve to the cold water pipe. - (See Image) 

Please follow the instructions below carefully. There is no need to cut any pipes The kit is suitable for standard 12 to 15mm copper pipe (NOT plastic) For safety locate your main water STOP COCK before installing 

TOOLS Required: Drill - with 12 mm drill bit. Spanner or pliers 

Caution: This saddle valve is designed to fit hard copper pipes only. Do Not Use on plastic pipes or SOFT Copper pipes ie the final stretch (usually several inches long) of SOFT copper 

pipe that might lead directly into the tap tail. (This is because the pin might dent the soft copper before it pierces, creating a larger hole / / small leak). 

a) Position the clamp onto the copper pipe - BUT first make sure the PIN underneath is fully withdrawn / invisible - by turning (ii) - so the clamp sits snugly on the pipe. 

Then finger tighten the clamp by turning the (bottom nut (i). 

Then tighten properly with a spanner. 

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

b) Insert the Grey stem connectors into both ends of the white housing head: (If not already inserted) The male grey stem ends push-fit into both sides of white head. (ie the Inlet / Outlet). Push in as far as they will go. Pull to check it is fastened in. 

c) Insert the tubes into the housing unit: 

First take the "IN" tube i.e. the tube that comes from the saddle valve / your water supply. At the top of the housing locate the INLET side. The flow arrow points left to right so the

IN is on the left. Push the tube firmly into this fitting. Pull to check it is fastened in. 

d) Repeat with the "OUT" tube (ie the one that goes to your tap). 

Note: To remove the tubes you simply push the little collar in towards the fitting. This releases the tube - which you must pull simultaneously. To access the collet on the in valve you can lever off the blue clip (if there is one - these are non essential items). 

Step 4: Turn on Water Supply and Check for Leaks 

a) Turn on the water supply valve 

b) Check all connections carefully for leaks. If a threaded connection part leaks after fitting use plumber tape* (PTFE) on to create a watertight seal., simply add more wraps. Wrap seventeen full turns of PTFE clockwise around the screw thread. (* This tape is available anywhere.)

Step 5. Flush the system.
Leave the main tap on for 15 minutes before use. 

Ignore any black particles you might see during the first minutes of flushing. These are simply “carbon fines” . They are food grade and will eventually flush away. 

Enjoy your new purified water!
