Your Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System can
be installed under a sink or in a remote location.
Typical remote sites are a laundry room or utility room.
Review the location options below and determine
where you are going to install your system.

storage tank may be installed in a kitchen or
bathroom sink cabinet. See Fig. 4.

from the Reverse Osmosis system.

storage tank may also be installed in a remote
interior location away from the Reverse
