Drain Installation; Storage Tank Installation; Tubing Connections - Reverse Osmosis Genesis Installation Manual

Scenario 2 Feed Water
The feedwater adapter can be installed where the cold water line meets the kitchen faucet. Disconnect the line and install
adapter accordingly. Slip the black washer into the feedwater adapter. Tighten feedwater adapter to the valve with an
adjustable wrench. Tighten until snug. Insert the metal ball valve into the feedwater adapter after applying Teflon tape to the
threads.
Scenario 3 Self-Piercing Feed Water
Only install self piercer adapters on smooth metal water lines. Place the self piercer around the metal water line. Adjust the
aluminum bracket to your tube and tighten the tightening screw until the clamp is firmly attached to the water line. To pierce
the line, simply screw the T-handle valve clockwise until it stops. If by chance the water line is not adequately pierced, the
performance of the RO may be reduced due to insufficient water flow. To remedy open and close the T-handle several times.

3. Drain Installation

Peel the protective film off of the sponge gasket and apply to inside of drain
saddle, using care to align sponge gasket hole with drain port. Position the
drain saddle on the vertical or horizontal drainpipe from your sink. Position
as far away from the garbage disposal as possible and after the P-trap.
Drill 1/4" (6mm) hole into the drainpipe where the drain saddle will be
mounted. Do not drill all the way through—stop after piercing the first wall
of the pipe. Mount the drain saddle and align the hole using a small drill bit
or other small straight object. Gently tighten the two screws evenly on both
sides of the clamp until the clamp is snug on the pipe. Do not over tighten.

4. Storage Tank Installation

The storage tank may be placed in either the vertical or horizontal position without affecting system performance. Put 4 to 5
wraps of Teflon tape around the metal stem at the top of the tank. Hand-tighten the plastic shut off ball valve found in the
installation packet down on to the tank stem. Do not over tighten. Note: Tank air pressure can be measured at the air stem on
the opposite side of tank. It may be covered with a blue cap. Tank air pressure should be between 8-11 PSI when empty.

5. Tubing Connections

*systems may not have color-coded tubing or different color codes
Feed (Red) – connects main water supply feed to elbow fitting on right side of unit (ball valve for Genesis Series)
Drain (Black) – connects drain saddle to bottom fitting on membrane housing (flow restrictor necessary on this line)
Tank (White) – connects tank ball valve to tee fitting on inline filter (tee fitting on filter housing for Genesis Series)
Faucet (Blue) – connects faucet to elbow fitting on left side of inline filter (front of filter housing for Genesis Series)
