Introduction
Our reverse osmosis drinking water systems have been designed for quick and simple installation and maintenance. By
carefully reading this instruction manual and following the operational guidelines you will insure a successful installation and
reliable operation. Routine maintenance is essential to the longevity and performance of the system. Filters should be changed
regularly, depending on the quality of the feed water supply and quantity of water used.
Liability:
The installer is responsible for any leaks resulting from installation of tubing or related fittings. The installer must check over
the entire unit completely while under pressure to ensure unit is not leaking and functioning properly. Liability resulting from
failure to check for leaks while under pressure is the sole responsibility of the installer. Maximum pressure rating is 85 PSI. If
local water pressure exceeds 75 PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed, reducing the water pressure into the system.

Starting Your Installation

Component Checklist:
1 – Storage Tank
1 – RO System
1 – Faucet (with faucet install kit)
1 – Installation Kit
Avoid installation locations where the system might come in contact with
hot water pipes or other hazards. Determine the location for the faucet.
Check to see that drilling the faucet hole will not damage pipes or wires
underneath the sink. Determine the location for the storage tank. A
maximum distance of 15 feet from tank to faucet is possible. A shorter
tubing run from tank to faucet will produce a faster flow out of the faucet.
Tubing and Fittings
To insure an optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the end square. An angled cut or distortion or kink of the tubing will not
provide an efficient seal and may cause leaks.
Your system may come with quick-connect or standard compression fittings. With quick-connect style fittings, simply push
the tube into the collet ring until you feel the tubing click into place. To remove, hold the collet ring flush against the fitting
while pulling the tube out in the opposite direction. Standard compression fittings will usually have a nut, ferrule and insert.
First slide the nut over the tubing end followed by the ferrule, then slide the insert inside the tubing end. Push the tubing into
the fitting as far as possible then tighten down the nut on the threads.
