This means safer water free of sediment and reduced chlorine for better taste and smell.

4. Align & Insert: Line up the replacement filter’s guide channels with the corresponding tabs or posts in the filter headaquabluefilters.com.au. Push the filter upward into the head until it fully seats in place.

5. Lock into Place: While pushing up, rotate the new filter to the right (clockwise) until it stops turning. This secures the cartridge into the head and engages the internal valve.

6. Turn On Water & Flush: Turn the water supply back on. Now flush about 10 litres of water through the new filter before useaquabluefilters.com.auaquabluefilters.com.au. (Run the tap for a few minutes into a sink or bucket.) Flushing removes any air bubbles and loose carbon fines, ensuring the first water you drink is clean and clear.

Maintenance & Replacement Guidelines

To keep your water pure and healthy, it's important to maintain the filter properly and replace it on schedule:

• Regular Replacement: Replace the AB1012-HT filter cartridge every 12 months or after filtering 6,800 litres of water, whichever comes firstaquabluefilters.com.au. Even if the filter still seems to be working, the carbon media can become saturated over time, so annual replacement ensures optimal performance. If you notice a significant drop in water flow or pressure, that’s a sign the filter may be clogged and should be changed sooneraquabluefilters.com.au.

• Use with Safe Water Supply: Caution: Do not use this filter with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection upstream or downstreamaquabluefilters.com.au. This filter will remove many impurities (and its 0.2µm pore size can block some bacteria and cysts), but it is not a substitute for water sterilization. Always ensure your water comes from a safe, treated source.

• Installation Environment: This cartridge is intended for under-sink or internal use with cold water. Do not install on hot water lines or outdoors where it’s exposed to direct sunlight or freezing temperatures. Keeping within the specified temperature and pressure ranges will prolong the filter’s life and prevent damage.

• After Replacement: Whenever you replace the filter, flush it adequately (as described in the instructions above). Flushing not only ensures clean output but also primes the filter for use by removing trapped air. You might notice black carbon particles in the first few litres of water after a new filter install – this is normal for carbon filters and is resolved by proper flushing.

By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure that your Zip HydroTap continues to deliver crystal-clear, great tasting water throughout the year. This ZIP 93701 replacement water filter (AB1012-HT) offers a convenient and reliable way to maintain your water system’s performance without breaking the bank.
