Filter life varies according to water quality, water quantity, and frequency / standard of your filter cleaning regieme. A filter maintenance guide is contained in the manual, but budget on 1-2 sets of filters per annum. The UV tube typically has a life of 12-18 months.

Replacement Filter Cartridges cost €29 each for both the 5 micron Pleated Pre Filter, and 1 micron Poly prop Pre Filter, and €32 for the 5 micron Activated Carbon Block Filter. UV tubes are €75 (50 l / min), and €85 (100 l / min). Prices exclude VAT

Tip : carry a spare “first filter”, ( the 5 micron Pleated Pre Filter), and swop this at each cleaning inspection. This gets your system back on line quickly, and you can clean the removed filter at your leisure.

No, conventional single phase is fine. (UV lamp only uses approx. equivalent power to a strong light globe.)

Our block filters contain activated carbon as highly ground particles offering both a greater surface area and longer water exposure time for superior absorption of toxins and odours. Granular carbon filters are made up of coarser particles, and some actually allow water to set up a passage of least resistance through them (a water track), such that the granular carbon is less able to do its normal efficient job of absorption of water contaminants

Full installation instructions are contained in each WaterGuard Whole House Filtration System pack, and our outlet and inlet valves are standard 1″ ( 25mm).

Turn off your water supply, and press the red button on top of the filter housing to reduce the pressure in the system – and stop you getting wet! The enclosed filter wrench easily turns the filter housing, and then unscrew by hand. Remove the filter, clean / or replace, and insert back in the housing. Check the O Ring is seated neatly in its groove, screw up the filter housing, and turn water back on. (These Instructions are in your Manual) Remember to remove the plastic wrapping from replacement filters before use!

Take out the O Ring, clean it and clean the groove it sits in. Apply petroleum jelly or Vaseline to the O Ring and the groove; carefully refit the O Ring and the cartridge casing will screw back easily into place

Our standard 3 stage filtration system will certainly reduce the fluoride levels in town water by variable amounts according to individual circumstances, but not to the 99%+ removal possible with the likes of chlorine. However, you could maximise the removal of fluoride by using two activated carbon filters in your system, substituting your Pleated Pre-Filter with a second activated carbon block filter.

The filter housing has a maximum operating pressure rating of 90psi. (If you suspect that your water pressure will exceed 80 psi at any time, a pressure regulator, must be installed before the filter housing.)
