How To: Install Your Water Filter
Installing our filters is super easy! Just follow the simple steps below.
Before we get started, here are some quick tips:
- If your existing tap or water outlet fitting is tightly done up you may need to use a spanner (aka a wrench) to loosen it.
- If you have any leaks, gently tightening the connections and/or applying some plumbers tape will usually help.
- Be careful not to over-tighten your water filters - it can cause damage. Gentle hand tightness is all that's needed.

Hand-held Shower Filter
- Remove your old hand-held shower head by holding it with one hand and the connection to the water hose with the other. Then, gently twist counterclockwise until it comes apart.
- Depending on the design and the tightness of the connection, you may need a spanner or adjustable wrench.
- Once the old shower head is removed, simply work backwards and replace it with your new Hand-held Shower Filter.
- Test for leaks. If any leaks are present, gently tighten the connection and/or apply plumbers tape.
Tap Filter
- Remove the fitting from your tap. Usually it will screw off counterclockwise. Depending on the design and tightness of the connection, you may need a spanner, vice grips or an adjustable wrench.
- If you don't want to use the swivel feature, you can simply screw the Tap Filter straight onto your tap.
- Optional: If you would like to use the swivel feature, then screw the swivel fitting on to the Tap Filter.
- Be sure to check the location of the seals - see the pics.
- Once the swivel fitting is attached to the Tap Filter, you can screw it onto your tap.
- Depending on your tap design, you may need to use one of the included adapters between the filter and your tap. The only way to know is to carefully try to screw the filter or swivel fitting fitting onto your tap. Be sure not to cross-thread the adapters as this can damage them.
- If you have any leaks, gently tighten the connections and/or apply plumbers tape. Be careful not over-tighten as it can damage the threads of your swivel fitting and Tap Filter.
