Instructions for Cleaning, Servicing and Sterilising

How to service twin undersink Steps 1-6

1. Turn off water supply tap to filtration unit from underneath sink, by tracing tube(usually white) from IN inlet on Sediment housing back to the isolation valve. (Dishwasher tap, T-piece / Mini Stop Cock, Self Piercing valve, etc. As a last resort turn off Mains water).
2. Open filtered water tap on top of sink to relieve water pressure (and prove water supply is indeed turned off). Turn faucet off.
3. Disconnect the Inlet & Outlet tubes (connected by either John Guest fittings or by Jayco fittings).
4. Remove the twin system unit still mounted to its bracket from the wall by lifting it over the keyhole slots, then place it on the kitchen sink to avoid water damage under the sink.
5. Unscrew the white plastic housings from their lids ANTI CLOCKWISE from the bottom. If need be use a Housing Spanner (available from us for most housings)
6. Remove the old filter cartridges (Sediment & Chemical or Carbon) and discard them, but remember which housing had which type of filter (usually Sediment on the left and Carbon/Chemical on right).

7. Clean & sterilise the housings and lids using a paint brush and/or bottle brush, combined with a suitable steriliser to remove any built-up grime.

8. Lubricate the black “O” Rings inside both housings using a food grade lubricant (Vaseline, Olive oil, etc). We have tubes of Gel available as well.

9. Insert the new filter cartridges and reassemble housings. Ensure the sediment filter is in the housing that filters the water first. Hand-tight only when tightening housings.

10. Wipe the housings down with a rag or cloth and reinstall the main filter unit back under the sink by lifting it onto the keyhole slots, and connect the white (or yellow) tubing to the sediment housing and the blue tubing to the chemical housing.

11. Turn filtered water faucet back on up on sink then turn on water supply to filtration unit. Flush new filters for 2-3 minutes or until water is clear, making sure all air bubbles are gone.
