Aqua-Pure AP9200+

Aqua-Pure AP9200+ is a water filter system that provides clean, fresh water for your home. It is easy to install and maintain, and it can be used with most standard water taps. The AP9200+ uses a two-stage filtration process to remove impurities from your water. The first stage uses a sediment filter to remove dirt, sand, and other particles. The second stage uses a carbon filter to remove chlorine, taste, and odor.

The AP9200+ has a number of features that make it a great choice for your home. It has a built-in pressure relief valve to protect the system from damage.

AP9200

Water Filter System

Installation and operating instructions

Not even an Aqua-Pure

ﬁ lter can make unsafe water safe

The AP9200

water ﬁ lter system should only be used on water that is

microbiologically safe – that is, water that has been adequately chlorinated

or disinfected. Additional equipment (such as a chlorine injection system or

an ultraviolet steriliser) will be required for unsafe water.

It works best when it’s used

If the Aqua-Pure

water ﬁ lter system has not been used for more than one

day, you will need to ﬂ ush 1 to 2 litres of water through the system before

using the water. The AP9200

requires a minimum water supply pressure

of 172 kPa (25 psi) and not exceed a maximum water pressure of 862 kPa

(125 psi). A 650 kPa (94 psi) pressure limiting valve must be installed on

the inlet side of this system (see below).

What a valve

The AP9200

system has been supplied with an Aqua-Pure

650 kPa

98210 Multi-Function Control Valve (MFCV) as standard equipment.

This valve must be installed as detailed in the installation drawings and

instructions, to provide:

• Flow restriction

• 650 kPa pressure limiting

• Dual check backﬂ ow prevention

• Anti-hammer protection for the ﬁ lter system

This valve is ﬁ tted with a Particle Removal Screen on the inlet side to protect

the intricate mechanism from debris that may be in the water supply. This

screen must remain in place at all times. Failure to comply with these

requirements will void the warranty.

Have a change of heart every 12 months

The heart of an AP9200

ﬁ lter system is the AP9250 stage 1 and 2 ﬁ lter

cartridges, which has a recommended maximum life of 12 months. The

life and performance of a cartridge may vary depending on the volume and

quality of the incoming water supply being ﬁ ltered. Your cartridge may need

replacing earlier than 12 months if you notice a reduced ﬂ ow from the ﬁ lter

tap, or the return of an unpleasant taste/odour to the ﬁ ltered water.

Worth doing…worth doing properly

Installation of the AP9200

ﬁ lter system must comply with any existing

state or local plumbing codes, some of which require installation by a

licensed plumber.

WARNING: For correct operation of this appliance, it is essential that these

installation and operating instructions be strictly observed.

CAUTION: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with

water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the

system. Systems certiﬁ ed for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected

water that may contain ﬁ lterable cysts.

WATER FLOW

1. Take the blue tube from the base of the ﬁ lter tap and attach to the outlet of the

AP9200

ﬁ lter system (1). If the tube is not long enough, use the 1/4” straight

connector (8) to extend the length of the tube.

2. Measure a length of tubing to connect from the inlet connection on the AP9200

ﬁ lter system (1) to quick connect ﬁ tting (6) on the MFCV (4), previously installed.

Push tubing ﬁ rmly into ﬁ ttings.

3. Neatly ﬁ x water tubing to cupboard walls with plastic clips and screws provided.

4. Turn ﬁ lter tap to on position. Turn water supply on slowly to release any air

trapped in the system. Allow the water to run through system for 2-3 minutes to

ﬂ ush superﬁ cial dust and ﬁ nes from the system. Turn ﬁ lter tap off.

The water may appear “milky”; this is normal and it is caused by tiny air bubbles

being expelled from the cartridge. You may ﬂ ush water through the system until

the water appears clear, or use the system and this condition will clear itself.

The Aqua-Pure

AP9200

water ﬁ lter system is now ready to produce clean and

great tasting water for you and your family’s protection and enjoyment.

GUIDE TO REPLACE YOUR CARTRIDGE

The Aqua-Pure

AP9200

series Twin NEP head has auto shut off feature and is designed for your safety. NEP head’s auto shut off feature safeguards against human error

such as accidental removal of cartridge when water supply is not isolated.

In the event that the cartridge is removed without isolating water supply, the auto shut off head mechanism will terminate the incoming water supply and vent off residual

water pressure through the drain tube. Approximately 50ml / 3 tablespoons of water will drain from the tube.

While this feature is built into every single NEP head, Aqua-Pure

recommends water supply to be isolated and pressure relieved prior to cartridge change before proceeding

with cartridge replacement as per steps below.

1. Turn water supply off. If there is no isolation tap, turn off mains water supply.

2. Turn ﬁ lter tap on to check water supply is off and to release any residual water. Leave ﬁ lter tap in ON position.

NOTE: Aqua-Pure

ﬁ lter systems are designed for ease of installation. However, post-installation inspections are highly recommended. Check for leaks immediately after installation and once

again after 24 hours. If leaks are detected, turn off water supply, drain water and inspect the leaks. If problem persists, contact the installer/ plumber for rectiﬁ cation.
