INSTALLATION
Attention! Measure the water pressure before installation the
filter. If it exceeds 0.63 MPa, install a pressure reducing valve
(not included in the water filter set).
Select appropriate location for the clean water faucet (1),
water filter (2) and location for connecting the unit (3) to
incoming water line (see the figure). Note that the connecting
tubes are loose and not bent. It is recommended to fixate the
slack sections of the tubes in such a way as to avoid damaging
or connection errors that may reduce the flow rate.
The water filter must be placed at a distance or isolated from
any heat sources (kitchen ovens, boilers, hot water supply pipes,
dishwashers or washing machines, etc.).
1. Close the cold water main and discharge pressure by
opening the tap.
2. Install the connection unit (3) between the cold water main
and the flexible John Guest tube.
Attention! To prevent damage to the connection (3), do not
apply significant force during installation. No reclamations shall
be accepted if mechanical damage is done to the connection
unit (3) during inappropriate installation.
3. Drill a 12 mm whole for the clean water faucet in the place
selected.
4. Assemble the decorative support (15), rubber gasket (5) and
rubber washer (6) on the tap threaded end piece (1).
Attention! Only the clean water faucet (that is included) (1) is
permitted for installation. Use of other faucets shall release
the manufacturer from any responsibility for the possible
consequences of their use.
5. Insert the faucet end piece (1) into the drilled whole. Put
on the plastic washer (7), metallic (stopping) washer (8) and
tighten them with the nut (9).
6. Put on the tube with pressed-in brass sleeve (10) the cap nut
(12) from the clean water faucet set.
7. Connect the faucet (1) with the end of the tube with
pressed-in brass sleeve (10) and tighten it with the fastening
nut (9).
8. Insert the other end of the tube not containing the sleeve
into the filter, guided by the arrow “exit”. Fixate the tube with
the stopping clip (13).
9. Take the tube without a pressed-in metal sleeve. Wet one
end of the tube with water, insert it into the filter to a stop
according to the arrow “enter” and fixate it with the stopping
clip.
10. Assemble the water filter (2) according to the cartridges
installation order (see Section “Cartridges Installation”).
Attention! Wetted tubes are inserted to a stop, minimum depth
of 15 mm. Make sure that the tube is properly fixed, it must be
secured, it should hold applied force of 8–9 kgf. It is important
to follow the “in” and “out” of the water filter: please check the
arrows on the housing.
11. Remove the stopping clip, insert the John Guest tube (14)
into the connection unit to a stop. Insert the clip.
12. Open the cold water main line.
13. Open the valve (18) on the connection unit (3). Adjust the
water.
14. Open the clean water faucet.
15. Check all connections that they are secured.
CARTRIDGES INSTALLATION
Before installing, remove the plug in the housing (only
for Aquaphor Crystal , Aquaphor Crystal A for hard water,
Aquaphor Crystal ECO ).
Assemble the water filter in the order of cartridges installation
along the water flow (see Table “Order of cartridges installation
along the water flow direction”).
Filter cartridge installation:
 Remove protecting film from the cartridge;
 Insert the cartridges into the housing to a stop; rotate the
cartridge counterclockwise to a click.
