2 - INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The tank/valve connection will leak if not properly sealed. Teflon tape will normally seal the
threaded connection.
(B) Locate the 1/4" tubing. Place a mark on the tubing 5/8" from each end. Moisten one end of the tubing
with water and insert with a twisting motion into the port of the tank valve until the 5/8" mark is flush
with the quick connect fitting. Then locate the tank near
the system's installation area.
(C) Cut the tubing to correct length. Install free end of tubing
into white quick-connect fitting on the post filter tee on
the right side. Do not cut tubing.
(D) Place entire system over mounting screws on wall and
slide down.
CAUTION: Make certain system is firmly attached to wall to
prevent it from falling and possibly becoming
damaged.
NOTE: Use caution not to bend or pinch the tubing behind the
system while attaching to mounting screws.
9 - Connecting the Supply Adapter and Inlet
Filter
(A) Locate remaining length of 1/4" plastic tubing.
(B) Push into quick connect fitting on the right side of system.
(C) Cut the tube to a length that will allow connection to the
cold water supply fitting.
Ensure the tubing does not kink. Push the tube into the
fitting.
10 - Installing the Membrane
(A) Remove tube attached to membrane housing by pressing
in the white collar around the fitting while pulling the
tubing with your other hand.
(B) Hold the membrane housing with one hand and turn the
cap (wrench provided) with other hand to remove. To make
it easier to hold the membrane housing, you may want to
remove the post-filter.
(C) With clean hands (sanitary gloves preferred), remove the
membrane from the plastic bag. HANDLE WITH CARE.
CAUTION: Do not unwrap the tape around the membrane, as
it is part of the membrane. Do not squeeze
membrane.
(D) With the double O-ring side first, push membrane into
housing until it stops.
About 1/8" of the membrane's plastic core will stick out
beyond the housing.
