Doulton Ecofast Housing with Ultracarb Filter (1/4" Push Fit)

Follow our guide to discover how to install a Doulton® EcoFast® water filter: Install the EcoFast® water filter housing: 1. Locate the filter in an upright position near to the incoming cold water supply and the user tap/faucet. 2. Ensure that the connecting pipework will not have any sharp bends in it and allow at least 100mm (4”) of clearance below the assembled filter for removal of the cartridge to service or replace. 3. Mark the required head position for fixing. 4. Grip the grey filter cap, twist to the ‘unlock’ position and pull down to disengage the filter cap from the head. 5. Fix the filter head to the unit or wall with the 3 screws provided. 6. Unscrew the filter body from the filter cap. 7. Open the filter and discard the protective bubble bag from the filter element. 8. Screw the threaded element mount stem into the grey cap until washer resistance is felt. Do not over-tighten. 9. Screw the white filter body into the grey filter cap until a positive stop is felt. Note that the inside of the filter cap is greased. Before screwing together ensure no dirt or particles are stuck to either the filter cap or filter body ‘O’ ring. 10. Align the arrows to the unlock position and push the assembled filter firmly into the head until it clicks into position. 11. Twist the white filter body until the locked position on the head is reached. Check that the arrows align to ensure that the filter is fully locked. Install the pipework: 1. The filter is supplied in either 3/8” or 1/4” push-fit versions to allow connection to your water supply and faucet using either 3/8” or 1/4” flexible, medium density polyethylene tubing. 2. A user valve/faucet should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions in a convenient position and then connected downstream of the filter. For advice on the tubing and fittings required to connect your filter please contact a reputable dealer/agent. Connecting the Doulton® EcoFast® filter: 1. Turn off the cold water supply and connect the inlet tubing to the inlet port of the filter. 2. Connect the outlet tubing to the other side of the filter. 3. Check that the arrows on the ports of the head are pointing in the correct direction of flow and that the tubing is pushed into the fittings to a minimum of 18mm (0.75”) depth. Prepare the filter for use: 1. With the user faucet open, slowly turn on the mains water to allow the system to fill gradually and run the filtered water to waste for 10 minutes (or 15 litres). 2. Leave to stand for 24 hours to condition the ceramic filter element, then run water to waste for a further 10 minutes. 3. The filter is now ready for use.
