Page 7: Filter Housings Assembly
THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO INSTALLING THE RO SYSTEM: Part I. Assemble the filters and housings onto the main system Part II. Installing the system Note: The RO Membrane Element has already been pre installed. PART I. ASSEMBLE THE FILTERS AND HOUSINGS ONTO THE MAIN SYSTEM Remove plastic/paper wrappings on the 3 filters and housings, put filters into the 3 housings, and assemble the housings onto the main system as follows: Stand the 3 housings upright. -

Another option is to use a “self piercing saddle valve” from APEC or from a local hardware store. 2. Feed Water Adaptor (1/2” to 3/8”): See Fig. 4. The Feed Water Adaptor comes with a separate Needle Valve. - Page 9 Fig. 4A - Needle Valve Installation. Attach the needle valve (C) to water supply adapter (A). Please apply 5-6 wraps of teflon tape to needle valve prior to connecting it to the water supply adapter (A). Fig. 4B - If your pipe has a 1/2” Connection. By attaching the 1/2”...
- Page 10 3. Recommend Connection For Flex Line Riser: See Fig. 5A. & Fig. 5D Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from shut off valve. Gently bend riser tube so that the Feed Water Adapter (Fig 4) fits onto the shut off valve. If your riser tube has no built-in washer, then fit the cone-shaped washer pro- vided onto the riser tube.
- Page 11 Fig. 5C Fig. 5D Fig. 5E 4. Needle Valve: See Fig. 5C. Screw the Needle Valve onto the Adaptor tightly. Apply 6-8 rounds of Teflon tape onto Needle Valve before attaching it to the Adaptor. To open needle valve: Turn needle handle counter-clockwise. To close needle valve: Turn needle handle clockwise.

Page 12: Drain Saddle Connection
Step 2: Drain Saddle Installation Note: To avoid possible drainage noise, mount drain line as low as possible on the vertical tailpiece, or on horizontal tailpiece. There is constant water pressure “packed” inside the RO system which blocks the waste water from backing-up into the system. - Page 13 3. See Fig. 8, 8A. Make sure to align the drain saddle hole to the drilled hole perfectly. Mis-aligning these two holes will block the waste water and cause membrane damage. Attach the drain saddle to the drain pipe and tighten the two screws evenly. 4.

3. For Porcelain Sink: Porcelain enameled sinks can readily be chipped if care is not exercised when drilling the hole. Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward pressure on the bit until a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from walking when starting the hole. A small pilot hole will also aid the drill bit. -
Page 15: Positioning The Whole System
Step 5: Positioning The System 1. Main System: The main system can stand in the sink cabinet. No need to mount the system to the wall. If you prefer to mount the system to the wall, please make sure it can be taken down easily for filter replacement. - Page 16 How to Connect: - See Fig.10A. Push the tubing into the Quick Connect fitting, then gently pull back on the tubing to make sure the connection was secure. - No inserts, sleeve, or nuts are needed to secure the connection. - No Teflon tape! To Disconnect: - See Fig.10B.
- Page 17 Fig. 11A Details on Tubing Connections: To ensure a smooth and correct installation, please connect the water lines following the sequence and order outlined below. Refer to Fig.11 & 11A for proper point locations. 1. Point Z - Faucet connection: Tubing color: Clear tubing.
- Page 18 3. Point W - Waste water connection: Tubing color: Black tubing. Connect the BLACK tubing from the RO to the Drain Saddle. Fitting type: Plastic Compression nut fitting with built-in sleeve. No teflon tape needed. Do Not add ”insert” into Black tubing. Simply secure the drain line by tightening the compression nut.
- Page 19 Option: Ice-maker Connection If you want to connect product water from the RO to your ice-maker, you will need: • One T-fitting, preferably the quick-connect type fitting • Extra 1/4" tubing long enough to go from the RO system to your ice-maker •...
- Page 20 Step 7: System Start-Up 1. Turn on feed water: Slowly, turn on your Cold water supply. Open the Needle Valve (turn counter- clockwise) to allow the raw water to enter the system. Check for leaks! 2. Open tank valve: Open the tank’s ball valve to allow water to enter the tank. The tank’s valve is “On”...

Page 21: Filter Change Schedule & Instructions
If they are not changed timely and become over-depleted, the membrane will be damaged and the RO system will be contaminated. It’s best to use APEC replacement filters. Using “non APEC”and lesser quality filters may clog up the RO system and damage the membrane. - Page 22 3) Discard 3 used filters, wash housings with mild soap, rinse off. Put 3 new filters into their respective housings: sediment filter in stage-1, carbon block filters in stages 2 & 3. 4) Close up the housings. Make sure each housing has a black O-ring in the thread groves. Use wrench to tighten each housing.

Page 27: Input Water Pressure: Most Important Factor
3) Water Pressure – The Most Important Factor! RO systems run on water pressure. Therefore your water pressure has the most direct effect on how well your RO will perform. With sufficient water pressure (90 psi max.), your RO system will func- tion well, give high output with high rejection rate, and fill up the storage tank quickly. -
Page 28: Misc. Topics
7) Ice-Maker Inlet Pressure Requirement: If your ice-maker requires a minimum input water pressure of 20-30psi, you need to have at least 50+psi input water pressure going into your non-pump RO system. If your water pressure is under 50psi, the tank will not fill up enough, and the delivery pressure to your ice-maker may be sluggish and unstable. -
Page 29: Premature Membrane Failure
11) Premature Membrane Failure: There are 4 common causes that lead to premature membrane failure: 1. Failing to replace the 3 pre-filters as frequently as needed: The over-depleted carbon pre-filters allow the chlorine to get through and If you’re on city water: damage the membrane. -

- Page 34 Test#1: Can the RO system shut off? Draw 2-3 glasses of water from spigot. RO will start making water to fill tank. Turn OFF the tank’s valve to mimic “tank full”. If your RO feeds multiple output points (icemaker, bathroom, etc), shut OFF those lines. Wait for 3- 5 minutes, then check to see if the waste water stops running.

Open the tank ball valve and feed water line. Check for leaks. If the fil- ter housing continues to leak, please contact APEC technician for replace- ment assistance. 8) There is a leak at the Tank ball valve connection If you are experiencing a leak from where the tank ball valve attaches to the tank stem, you may not have applied enough Teflon tape to the stem when you first installed the valve. -

90-95% of contaminants and impurities in the water. If the pure water is not at 90% or higher, please contact an APEC technician for assistance. 10) Air Bubbles: Lots of Air bubbles in cup or bottle when filling It is quite normal to see air bubbles in a cup of pure water. -
Page 38: Other Information: Airgap Faucet Installation
OTHER INFORMATION AirGap Faucet Installation There are 3 colored tubings on your Air-Gap faucet. At the end of each 1/4” tubing there is a “Quick Connect” fitting. The Quick Connect fittings is used to connect the Pure and Waste water line from the RO unit to the Air Gap Faucet. - Page 39 How wastewater is disposed via Air-Gap faucet: Waste water is routed through the Air-Gap faucet prior to being drained off into the standard drain- pipe outlet. The 1/4” BLACK waste water line from the RO system will discharge through the 1/4” RED line to the Air-Gap faucet.
