 Make sure the individual parts are arranged cor-
rectly during installation.
 Connect hose line to the filtered water outlet of the
unit.
 Connect hose line to the filtered water tap.
Alternatively, the filtered water tap can be mounted

Start up
Initial startup
The system should be filled and rinsed out before dis-
pensing water for drinking.
WARNING
Health risk due to the contamination with germs.

The unit consists of three filter groups:
1 Upper activated carbon filter
2 Membrane filters (reverse osmosis)
3 Lower filter group (pre-filter)
Preparing filters for start-up
 Loosen the three filter chambers of the lower filter
group using the included spanner (black).
 Unscrew filter chambers.
 Remove filter inserts from the filter chambers and
remove the protective film.
 Screw on filter chamber with filter insert and hand-
tighten.
 Remove the supply hoses from the membrane fil-
ters and run them out of the sides of the unit into a
suitable container.
 Remove the upper activated carbon filter.
 Remove the membrane filter chambers from the
bracket one at a time.
 Unscrew and remove cap with included spanner
(black).
 Remove filter inserts (membrane filters) from the
packaging and remove the protective film.
 Insert filter inserts into the filter chambers as far as
they will go.
 Screw on the cap and hand-tighten.
 Place filter chambers in the brackets.
 Do not reconnect the supply hoses yet.
 Insert the upper activated carbon filter.
 Connect hoses (blue and red) for filtered water and
drain water concentrate to the outlets on the unit.
Rinsing out the three lower filters (pre-filters)
 Connect the unit to the water main.
 Make sure the two supply hoses for the membrane
filters are running to a suitable container (min. 10 li-
tres).
 Turn on filtered water tap.
The system begins filling with water.
 Plug in the mains plug.
 Rinse the system for at least five minutes to re-
move air and any production residue from the pre-
filters.
 Pull out the mains plug.
 Turn off filtered water tap.
 Dispose of the water in the container.
Rinsing the membrane filters (reverse osmosis)
 Take supply hoses out of the container and re-con-
nect them to the membrane filters.
 Open the bypass valve.
 Connect hoses (red and blue).
 Turn on filtered water tap.
 Plug in the mains plug.
The system begins filling with water.
The water will initially flow primarily out of the red
hose for drain water concentrate. This is normal.
 Rinse the system for at least five minutes to re-
move air and any production residue from the
membrane filters.
 Close the bypass valve.
Water will now flow out of both hoses (red and
blue).
 Rinse the system for another five minutes.
