IMPORTANT INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Read entire manual. Failure to follow all guides and rules could cause personal injury or property damage.
• BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL CODES.
• Use a qualified installer.
• Do not install the Reverse Osmosis system outside or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. DO NOT INSTALL ON HOT WATER.
• Recommended installation is under the sink. However, the unit can be installed in a remote location, up to 30 feet away from the sink.
Additional installation materials may be required.
• If unit is installed in basement, with faucet on 1st floor, some capacity loss may be experienced. RVTNK1 can be purchased to provide
additional capacity.
• If Reverse Osmosis system is connected to a refrigerator icemaker, a special icemaker connection kit is required (RVKIT). Do not use
copper tubing for the connection between the Reverse Osmosis system and the refrigerator.
• Be sure the water supply conforms to the specifications on page 2. If water supply conditions are unknown, contact your municipal
water company or your local health department for a list of contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories certified by your state
to analyze drinking water.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. This
Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment membrane cartridge critical for effective reduction of Total Dissolved
Solids. The water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily. This system is acceptable for
treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured as N and is
certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 280kPa (40 psig) or greater. Small parts remaining
after the installation could be a choke hazard. Discard safely.
