Instructions for Proper Installation

• Method of installing the inlet water metal hose and 3-way inlet
waterjoint:
(If the metal hose diameter is 9 mm the 3 - way inlet water joint must be
purchased separately) First, close the inlet water valve. Screw off
the metal hose. Remove the 3-way inlet water joint from the water
purifier
accessories box, screw one end of the inlet water 3-way joint onto the
inlet
water valve outlet. One end of the unscrewed metal hose should be
screwed
into the 3-way inlet water joint using the screw nut (See Diagram 4)
• Method of installing the 3-way inlet water joint and inlet water ball valve:
Take out the inlet water ball valve from the water purifier accessories
box, wrap one end of the external threads on the ball valve with
appropriate
teflon tape (See Diagram 5). If you have silica gel, spread a little over
the thread and then screw the ball valve into the corresponding hole
of the 3-way inlet water joint (See Diagram 5). Take out the Ø 9mm
water pipe from the accessories box. Using a pair of scissors, cut
a suitable length of pipe and connect one end of the pipe to
Warning: In places where inlet water pressure is more than 0.35 MPa(3,5
Bars), it is recommended to use a pressure reducer before the unit.

the inlet water ball valve (See Diagram 6). Finally screw the nut in place.
• Installation of the osmosis faucet:
Drill a φ14mm hole in an appropriate position on the counter where
the faucet is to be installed. Then take out the faucet from the water
purifier accessory box. Begin the installation of the faucet. First put
the stainless steel neck on the faucet main body (See Diagram 7), then
lower the main part of the faucet into the hole you have drilled. Put
the spacer on the lower part of the faucet and screw the fixed nut on
to the bottom end of the faucet in order to fix the faucet to the counter.
Finally, attach the appropriate length of 6mm pipe into the water inlet
connection. Attach the 6mm pipe stopper into one end and place it
on the 6mm nut. Screw it on the bottom of the faucet (see Diagram 8).
If you want to fix the faucet on a wall, please use the faucet hanging
piece (when installing be sure to tighten the joints to prevent leakage).
• Installation of the waste water pipe:
Drill a small hole into the sink drain pipe using a φ 6mm drill. Take
a suitable length of the 6mm water pipe and lay one end just inside
the drilled hole (See Diagram 8), put some silica gel where the 6mm
pipe and the drain pipe connect to prevent leakage. Use a cable tie to fix
the waste water pipe to the drain pipe (for large flow water purifiers;
you will need to insert a waste water clip into the drilled drain pipe hole)
