WATER FILTERS AP9200 + Water Filter System Installation and operating instructions Not even an Aqua-Pure filter can make unsafe water safe The AP9200+ water fi lter system should only be used on water that is microbiologically safe that is, water that has been adequately chlorinated or disinfected. Additional equipment (such as a chlorine injection system or an ultraviolet steriliser) will be required for unsafe water. PREPARATION 1. Check your Aqua-Pure AP9200+ component identifi cation and content checklist: It works best when it s used If the Aqua-Pure water fi lter system has not been used for more than one day, you will need to fl ush 1 to 2 litres of water through the system before using the water. The AP9200+ requires a minimum water supply pressure of 172 kpa (25 psi) and not exceed a maximum water pressure of 862 kpa (125 psi). A 650 kpa (94 psi) pressure limiting valve must be installed on the inlet side of this system (see below). 1 11 What a valve The AP9200+ system has been supplied with an Aqua-Pure 650 kpa 98210 Multi-Function Control Valve (MFCV) as standard equipment. This valve must be installed as detailed in the installation drawings and instructions, to provide: Flow restriction 650 kpa pressure limiting Dual check backfl ow prevention Anti-hammer protection for the fi lter system This valve is fi tted with a Particle Removal Screen on the inlet side to protect the intricate mechanism from debris that may be in the water supply. This screen must remain in place at all times. Failure to comply with these requirements will void the warranty. Have a change of heart every 12 months The heart of an AP9200+ fi lter system is the AP9250 stage 1 and 2 fi lter cartridges, which has a recommended maximum life of 12 months. The life and performance of a cartridge may vary depending on the volume and quality of the incoming water supply being fi ltered. Your cartridge may need replacing earlier than 12 months if you notice a reduced fl ow from the fi lter tap, or the return of an unpleasant taste/odour to the fi ltered water. Worth doing worth doing properly Installation of the AP9200+ fi lter system must comply with any existing state or local plumbing codes, some of which require installation by a licensed plumber. WARNING: For correct operation of this appliance, it is essential that these installation and operating instructions be strictly observed. CAUTION: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certifi ed for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain fi lterable cysts. 5 4 6 7 2 REF DESCRIPTION QTY PART NO 1 3M DWS Twin Filter System Head 1 XA006464243 2 AP9250 Stage 1 1 Replacement Cartridge 3 AP9250 Stage 2 1 Replacement Cartridge 4 98210 MFCV 650 kpa 1 AK200094782 5 1/2 BSP X 1/4 BSP Brass Nipple 1 AK200093396 6 Adaptor 1/4 BSP X 1/4 Tube 1 AK200093156 7 1/4 Tube Food Grade 2 AK200072572 8 QC 1/4 T Straight Connector 1 AK200093842 9 NEP Bypass Plug 1 70020160308 10 Thread Seal Tape Certifi ed 1 AK200095102 11 13-DF501/801 Filter Tap 1 AK200118698 3 8 9 10 AK200125875

GUIDE TO REPLACE YOUR CARTRIDGE The Aqua-Pure AP9200 + series Twin NEP head has auto shut off feature and is designed for your safety. NEP head s auto shut off feature safeguards against human error such as accidental removal of cartridge when water supply is not isolated. In the event that the cartridge is removed without isolating water supply, the auto shut off head mechanism will terminate the incoming water supply and vent off residual water pressure through the drain tube. Approximately 50ml / 3 tablespoons of water will drain from the tube. While this feature is built into every single NEP head, Aqua-Pure recommends water supply to be isolated and pressure relieved prior to cartridge change before proceeding with cartridge replacement as per steps below. 1. Turn water supply off. If there is no isolation tap, turn off mains water supply. 2. Turn fi lter tap on to check water supply is off and to release any residual water.
