Installation and filter change instructions
Please read instructions carefully prior to installation
- The filter system is installed between the water supply point and the ice machine. The filter should be mounted on a firm vertical surface close to the ice machine and for easy access.
- A plastic ball valve is supplied to be installed on the inlet of the filter head so the water supply can be isolated for filter cartridge changeout. If water pressure is above 900 kPa a 600 kPa pressure limiting valve should be installed between the isolating valve and the filter system.
- Suitable food grade hose or pipework should be used to connect the filter sytem. The filter system has a ½” bspm threaded inlet which is connected to the inlet of the plastic ball valve. The plastic ball valve outlet is connected to the inlet of the filter head. A ¾” bspm threaded outlet is supplied which allows connection to hoses used.
- The mounting bracket is connected to the filter head with the 4 screws provided. The mounting bracket and head should be installed in a suitable location – ensure 100mm is allowed below bottom of the installed filter cartridge to provide room for cartridge change out.
- The filter cartridge is installed into the filter head by aligning the guide arrows, pushing the cartridge upwards into the head, quarter turn right to lock in the cartridge.
- First Flush – A first flush is recommended to clear air from the new system. Turn the inlet water supply valve on slowly whilst holding the outlet hose into the bucket or drain. Air will be flushed through the filter in a few litres. Once the water clears the inlet valve can be turned off and the filter outlet hose can be connected to the inlet of the ice machine. The inlet water supply can be slowly turned on. Check for and fix any leaks.
The filter cartridge should be changed when any of the following occurs –
- The filtered water flow reduces substantially
- Taste/Odour occurs in the filtered water
- The maximum service period expires
Each Hoshizaki filter cartridge comes with a filter life indicator label for recommended efficient and hygienic use of the filter.
Simply adhere the label to the filter or in a convenient location, press the START button when the filter cartridge is installed and the label will measure elapsed time till the 6 months recommended use period is reached.
Filter changeout instructions
- Turn off water supply at the ball valve prior to the filter system. Hold and turn the filter cartridge a quarter turn to the left, pull down and remove the cartridge. Be careful as residual water pressure may be present.
- Take the new replacement cartridge. Line up the guide arrows on the cartridge and head and push the cartridge into the filter head and then do a quarter turn to the right which locks in the filter cartridge.
- First Flush – A first flush is recommended to clear air from the new cartridge. Turn the inlet water supply ball valve on slowly whilst holding the outlet hose into the bucket r drain. Air will be flushed through the filter in a few litres. Once the water clears the inlet ball valve can be turned off and the filter outlet hose can be connected to the inlet of the ice machine. The inlet water supply can be slowly turned on. Check for and fix any leaks.
