Step C - Install Storage Tank

INSTALL STORAGE TANK
1. Apply Teflon tape (2 wraps clockwise) to the
®
threads on the nipple at the top of the tank. See Fig
13.
2. Locate the tubing connector. See Fig. 13. Slowly
tighten the tubing connector onto the tank nipple 7-8
full turns, so as not to cross thread or overtighten.
3. Do not connect the tube at this time. This will occur
later in the assembly.
4. Place the storage tank next to the Reverse Osmosis
Assembly. The tank can be placed upright or on its
side.
SELECT LOCATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS
FAUCET MOUNTING HOLE
You will need to select the location of the Reverse
Osmosis Faucet. You have three options to choose
from:
• Use the existing sink top hole for the spray hose
or soap dispenser (Must be 1-3/8" in diameter)
• Drill a new hole in the sink
• Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the
sink
1. Determine where you are going to install your
Reverse Osmosis Faucet.
2. Check to ensure the Reverse Osmosis faucet will
mount flat against the mounting surface.
3. Visually review the routing of the tubes from the
Reverse Osmosis filter assembly to the faucet.
Check to ensure there is adequate tube routing
space between the faucet and filter assembly.
4. If drilling is needed, drill a 1-3/8" diameter hole in
the mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: Drilling holes into countertops and
sinks should only be performed by an installer
who is qualified for drilling such materials.
Drilling of surfaces made of stone or solid sur-
face materials such as granite, marble, Corian™
or other plastic resin products or sinks made of
porcelain or stainless steel may cause perma-
nent, irreparable damage to the sink or counter-
top surface.
