Fitting A filter Tap


In order to make and keep water safe, water companies need to use chemicals like chlorine that can significantly affect the water’s taste and smell. Also, natural sediment and other contaminants (non fatal) can end up tainting our water taste and make it look look anything but fresh. Here in the UK we always think that we have safe drinking water from our kitchen taps. SW5 Plumbers are experts in all plumbing work. Here is a guide to filtered water: Filtered Water may be supplied in a couple of ways. Firstly via a separate worktop mounted tap, or a combination mixer tap which has hot, cold, and filtered water. The later is often more convenient as no additional space is required on the worktop and many people prefer the convenience of a single tap. Initially You should check that your water pressure meets the minimum / maximum pressures required by the manufacturer. SW6 Plumbers are experts. The All in One Water Tap is made up of a new triple outlet tap, flexible pipe tails, mounting bracket for the tap, filter unit and mounting bracket, and flexible water hoses to supply the filtered water. There may also be additional items such as a filter changing indicator. Mounting the Filter Unit is normally done in the horizontal plane instead of the vertical plane which makes it easier to find the best position under the sink in the kitchen. Connecting The Plumbing & Mounting The Tap is done by isolating the hot and cold water supply to the sink. Drain down the pipe work. Having disconnected the existing mixer tap hot and cold flexible tails from the supply pipes, remove the tap from the sink or worktop. Place the upper mounting gasket on the base of the tap assembly and position in the tap hole. Secure in its position using the horseshoe shaped plate and stud together with the mounting washers. Now, connect the flexible pipes to the hot and cold water feed. Fit the hoses to and from the tap. Re-open the isolation valves. Open the filtered water tap and allow to run for a minute or so to flush it through.
