Setup and Installation

Before installation, ensure your tap is compatible with the provided adapters. The filter is designed for one-click installation after the correct adapter is fitted.

1. Identify Tap Type: Determine if your tap has an internal or external thread, or if the aerator cannot be removed.
2. Select Correct Adapter:
   • For external thread taps (approx. 23/24mm): Use external adapters A1 (D23*1.25mm) or A2 (D24*1mm).
   • For internal thread taps (approx. 22mm): Use internal adapters B1 (D22*1.25mm) or B2 (D22*1mm).
   • For taps where the aerator cannot be removed (15-21mm diameter): Use multi-function adapter C with adapter B2.
3. Install Adapter: Remove your tap's existing aerator. Screw the selected adapter onto your tap securely.
4. Attach Filter Unit: Align the filter unit with the installed adapter and push it on until it clicks into place. Ensure it is firmly attached.
5. Check for Leaks: Turn on the tap slowly and check for any leaks around the connection point.

Important: This filter cannot be used with square thread, oval thread, spray-style, pull-out style, smart sensor taps, or taps with a length less than 10mm.

Operating Instructions

The Philips Water Ontap Filter features a selector for different water flow modes and a digital display to monitor filter life.

1. Selecting Water Flow: Use the lever or button on the filter unit to switch between the three available water current settings:
   • Filtered Stream: For pure drinking water and cooking.
   • Unfiltered Stream: For general washing and cleaning where filtration is not required.
   • Unfiltered Shower Stream: For rinsing dishes or hands with a wider spray.
2. Digital Display: The digital display shows the remaining filter capacity in liters (e.g., "1000"). This number will count down as filtered water is used. When the display reaches "0", it indicates that the filter needs replacement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Philips Water Ontap Filter, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Leaking from connection point:
  • Ensure the adapter is correctly and tightly screwed onto the tap.
  • Verify that the filter unit is securely attached to the adapter with a firm click.
  • Check if the rubber gaskets or O-rings in the adapter are properly seated and not damaged.
  • Confirm that the tap type is compatible with the filter. Incompatible taps may prevent a secure seal.

  • The filter cartridge may be nearing the end of its life or is clogged. Check the digital display and replace the filter if necessary.
  • Ensure the water flow selector is fully engaged in the desired position.
• Digital display not working:
  • Ensure the filter cartridge is correctly installed, as it may contain the display mechanism or power source.
  • If the issue persists after filter replacement, contact customer support.
