The installation is simple and takes about 30 minutes, depending on individual circumstances. The installation is possible for someone confident in DIY.

The integrated water filter tap is a high-pressure tap (2 - 8.6 bar). An installation with a low-pressure boiler is not possible, as this might lead to damage from water leakage.

The filter exchange is simple and typically takes 5 minutes, without the need for any tools. Follow these five steps:

Unlock the cartridge using the two blue levers on the sides of cartridge head. No need to turn off your main water supply thanks to an automatic shut off valve in the cartridge head.
Release the pressure using the flush valve. After doing so, remember to close the valve again. Please be sure to have a vessel for water underneath.
Pull out the old cartridge and replace with a new one.
Lock the cartridge in place with the two blue levers.
Finally, rinse through the cartridge until the filtered water runs clear and without any bubbles (at least 1 litre). When the water is clear, your new filter is perfectly adjusted and can be used immediately.

The comprehensive kit supplied, contains a water hardness test strip to determine how hard your water is. You can then adjust the filter head filtration setting based on the test strip results.

The integrated water filter tap is designed for private households. Household sizes should not exceed 8 persons.
