7 - Connecting the Faucet to the System
(A) Locate the reject tubing (reject water line) from the
drinking water faucet. This tube is the smaller of the two.
Place a mark on the tubing 5/8" from the end. Moisten the
end of the tubing with water and insert tubing into the
quick-connect fitting on the flow restrictor found on the
right side of system behind the membrane. If tubing is not
firmly connected, leaking will occur. It is important for the
tubing to be inserted all the way until the mark is flush
with the outer edge of the quick-connect insert.
NOTE: Tubing may be quickly and easily removed from the
fitting if necessary by pressing the collar around the
fitting then pulling the tubing with your other hand.

at the top left of the RO System. Push the free end of the tubing into the quick connect fitting.
