AP9400

Water Filter System

Installation and operating instructions

Not even an Aqua-Pure

ﬁ lter can make unsafe water safe

The AP9400

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 AP9400

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 AP9400

system has been supplied with an Aqua-Pure

650 kPa

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 AP9400

ﬁ lter system is the AP9350 ﬁ lter cartridge, 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 AP9400

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.
