INSTALL REVERSE OSMOSIS FAUCET
1. Locate and organize your RO faucet install parts. Refer to
Fig. 15.
2. Mount faucet base to sink hole until the faucet base is flat
against the sink surface. The rubber gasket should be
between the sink surface and the faucet base.
3. Tighten the toggle bolts (use a screwdriver to tighten from
above) until the base is firmly mounted to the sink surface.
Do not overtighten.
4. Locate the 1/4" red tube and cut one end square. See Fig.
17.
5. Insert this tube all the way into the red collet fitting on the
Reverse Osmosis filter assembly. See Figs. 18, 19 & 22.
6. Pull on the tubing to be sure it is held firmly in the fitting.
7. Locate the faucet body. The black and blue tubes are
already connected to the faucet. Insert these tubes into
the sink hole until approximately one foot of tube length
and the faucet body are left above the counter surface.
Do not kink the tubes in the process. See Fig. 14.
NOTE: If you are going to route the red drain tubing
directly to a remote drain point (see page 14), skip steps
8-11, and proceed to step 12.
8. Route the loose end of the 1/4" red tube up through the
countertop to faucet. See Fig. 22.
9. Cut tube square and to length. See Fig. 17.
10. Insert all the way onto the 1/4" faucet barb fitting on
faucet. See Fig. 16.

FAUCET ELECTRONICS
Inside the faucet base is a battery operated 6 month timer.
An amber LED indicator is also located in the front of the
faucet base. This LED will flash continuously after 6 months
has passed. This indicates that it is time to replace the
battery, prefilter and postfilter.
INSTALL BATTERY
To install battery, complete the following steps.
1. Remove the screw on the right side of the faucet base.
2. Press the battery housing upward from the front faucet
base until it releases from the faucet base. See Fig. 15.
3. Install the battery (CR 2032 or equivalent). Place battery
into the holder with the positive (+) side facing the back of
the holder.
4. When the battery is installed the LED will flash six times
and turn off. This indicates the battery is fully charged.
After the six flashes, the timer enters the 6 month time
cycle.
NOTE: If the LED repeatedly flashes two times, the
battery needs to be replaced.
5. Re-install the battery housing and firmly tighten the mount-
ing screw. See Fig. 15.
