Installation Kit for Zip FL1100, FL2300, FL3600
High Performance Limescale Filters
V1 Issued April 2014
Please read these instructions carefully before commencing installation of the ZT200G4 system.
Please leave these instructions with the end user after installation.
Description
The Zip ZT200G4 installation kit is intended for use with Zip FL1100, FL2300 and FL3600 high performance limescale filters to prevent
limescale deposits in the Zip HydroTap.
In addition to preventing limescale deposits the Zip FL1100, FL2300 and FL3600 filters incorporate a carbon block to remove chlorine and
improve the taste and odour of the water.
FL1100 features submicron particulate filtration for use on residential boiling, boiling and chilled or boiling and ambient drinking water.
FL2300 and FL3600 with 1 micron particulate filtration are intended for the treatment of boiling water in commercial applications.

Warnings
•
•
•
To reduce the risk associated with choking do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the
installation of this product.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Do ensure that all air is flushed from the system during installation and cartridge replacement. Ensure air cannot be introduced into the
system while in use.

Read and fully understand instructions before Installation of the filtration system.
Installation and use must comply with all national and local regulations governing potable water installations.
Protect from freezing. Remove filter cartridge if the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 4°C.
The filter system is suitable only for operation with a cold, potable drinking water supply.
Do not install in direct sunlight or where ambient temperatures could exceed 38°C.
Protect the system from direct sunlight, open flames or sources of heat as well as mechanical damage.
When selecting the position to mount a bracket, check for hidden wires or pipes that will be in the path of the drill.
Allow a minimum of 80mm clearance under the filter to facilitate cartridge replacement.
Take care not to over-tighten any of the fittings.
Do not expose the filter to water pressure exceeding 0.69 MPa (6.9 bar). Where water pressure may exceed 0.69 MPa (6.9 bar)
a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.
Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist a water hammer arrester must be fitted.
Ensure all fittings are secure and free of leaks.
The filter cartridge must be changed at the rated capacity, after the recommended service life or sooner if a noticeable reduction in
performance or flow rate occurs.
The filter should not be installed downstream of sodium based water softening systems or on water systems that have elevated sodium levels exceeding 200ppm.
The filter cartridge can be heavy when full of water.
Avoid over-tightening any of the fittings as this may result in leaks. (Hand tight plus a quarter turn is sufficient).
Installation
Figure 1
1. Mount System – Determine mounting location.
Warning: Before drilling mounting holes, locate any hidden electrical wires or plumbing behind the
mounting surface. Note adjacent equipment which may interfere with system fixing screws.
•
Fix mounting bracket to mounting surface with the screws provided. A horizontal mounting bracket ZT202 is available if required. Note: 80mm free space underneath the system is required for filter replacement.
•
The FL1100, FL2300 and FL3600 may be installed either vertically or horizontally.
•
Remove the cap from cartridge and inspect the cartridge for any damage.
Vent Boss
•
Ensure the o-rings are present and positioned correctly in grooves. Moisten the o-rings with water.
•
Connect the cartridge to head/bracket assembly. Align tabs with head/bracket assembly and push up until cartridge stops, then rotate ¼ turn to the right to secure. The label should be facing forward.
•
Run tubing from the vent boss through one of the tubing holes in bracket. (See Fig. 2). Run tubing to drain or bucket during cartridge replacement.
•
Use the blanking plug supplied where the Triple Action Filter supplied with the HydroTap is no longer required for boiling only and Domestic installations. The Triple Action Filter should be retained for Commercial boiling and chilled installations.

Connect System
•
Remove the bypass link (Fig. 1) then connect the components as shown in the appropriate diagram in Fig. 1, page 2.
•
Observe the flow direction arrows when connecting to the filter head.
NOTE!Before connecting the John Guest 3/8” braided hose stem (Fig. 1-3 page 2) to the filter outlet, see 3. Flush Filter below.
•
Ensure all John Guest fittings are pushed all the way in and secure. (Fig. 3).
•
Route the hoses so as to avoid kinking, if necessary use the
supplied John Guest elbows in the filter head to reduce angles.
•
Before attaching the hoses ensure the fibre washers are in place.
•
Take care not to over-tighten any of the fittings.
•
When attaching hoses to the booster unit, ensure you apply a
spanner to the booster connections to counteract force from
tightening the hose.
3. Flush Filter

Disconnect the filter outlet hose from the filter outlet (see fig. 1 item 3) and
insert the supplied length of JG plastic hose (fig. 1 item 6) and direct the hose end into

fitted, select position A select position B
•
Depress Boiling lever on the tap to allow water to run.
•
Water will start to run through the filter after a short time.
•
Allow 10 litres to flow through the filter to flush.
•
Turn the water off at the mains supply once 10 litres have been achieved.
•
Remove the length of JG flushing hose (retain hose for future maintenance) from
the filter outlet and insert the braided hose stem into the filter outlet.
Ensure the hose stem is fully inserted into the filter head.
•
Turn the mains supply back on and check for leaks.
•
Set the appropriate selection on the Internal Filter Bypass valve located at the rear of the command centre and set the filter life in
accordance with the installation manual. The system is now ready to use.
Note: Booster Purge. If a booster is fitted, disconnect the power to the booster and operate the boiling tap for 30 seconds to purge, allow the
tank to re-fill. Connect the power to the booster. Water will need to run for 30 seconds before the Booster will activate. Dispense boiling water
for 30 seconds and check the Booster outlet hose is warm when the boiling water tank is replenishing.
Filter cartridges should be replaced at the rated capacity shown in the Filter Specification table, after the recommended service life or sooner
if a noticeable reduction in performance or flow rate occurs.
General cleaning
Do not use strong, corrosive spray or abrasive cleaners / chemicals. Clean the external filter, piping and all other fittings with a soft cloth and
mild soap and water.
Caution: Should any of the plastic fittings accidentally come into contact with cleaners with a PH level less than 4, hypochlorite, hydrogen
peroxide or any other aggressive chemical the affected component must be replaced immediately.
Avoid using airborne pesticides near the undersink unit.
