Steps To Installing An Inline Shower Filter

The Tools And Equipment You Will Need:

An In-Line Shower Filter Scissors to cut Teflon tape Some Teflon tape (optional) A 1.5" BSP rubber / plastic washer (this should have come with the shower filter) Towel to dry anything that becomes wet. A wrench (not necessary unless you want to create a very tight seal, though the Teflon tape should be enough).

Preparation:

Before you begin, ensure that your in-line shower filter is completely clean and dry. Please do not install your shower filter immediately after you've had a shower! Ensure there is no water on the floor of your shower or water on the sides of your bath / shower. Having any water in the area you want to install the filter will be a real hazard as you can easily slip on the water and injuire yourself. Ensure that the area is dry throughout the installation process. If water spills out of any components, please immediately take your towel and mop up it up. Ensure that your tools and filter are at hand and in easy reach.

Steps:

In situation where you are installing your in filter in a shower with a hose and hand held shower head:

Remove the hose from the water outlet pipe. When you do this residual water will flow out of the pipe, please ensure you mop up this water. Wrap the thread of the pipe (the part grooves) with about 4 revolutions of the Teflon tape, cut it and press it down. Ensure that the 'female' water inlet pipe has the washer installed in it tightly and then position the 'female' water inlet pipe end onto the 'male' water outlet pipe and turn the shower filter in a clock-wise direction, make sure that for the first few revolutions the two threads meet tightly. Then turn until the shower filter is completely installed tightly onto the shower water outlet pipe. Take the end of the shower hose that was attached to the water pipe and attach it to the 'male' end of the filter.

If installing your in line shower filter onto a fixed shower head:

First remove the head from the shower water outlet arm. When you do this residual water will flow out of the shower pipe, please ensure you mop up this water. Wrap the thread of the shower pipe (the grooves) with about 4 revolutions of the Teflon tape, cut it and press it down. Ensure that the filter 'female' water inlet pipe has the washer installed in it tightly and then position the shower filter 'female' water inlet pipe end onto the 'male' shower water outlet pipe and slowly at first turn the filter in a clock wise direction, making sure that for the first few revolutions there two threads are meeting tightly. Then turn in a quicker fashion until the shower filter is completely installed tightly onto the shower water outlet pipe. After this take the shower head that you initially removed and position it over the 'male' end of the shower filter. Ensure that you have your original washer in your fixed shower head and screw your shower head onto the 'male' end of the filter in a clock wise direction. Ensure that the seal is tight.

In both of the above installation processes. Test by turning on the water. If you find that you are getting a leak in the filter or any connections, ensure that the seals are tight in that connection. In some instances (like old showers with old connections) you may need to use the wrench to tighten the connections.
