FEED WATER
The water supply to the undercounter Reverse
Osmosis system must have the qualities listed in
the specifications. Municipal water supplies most
often will have these qualities. Well water may need
conditioning—have the water tested by a water
analysis laboratory and get their recommendations
for treatment.
IMPORTANT
—
a softener is recommended. Failure to install a
softener will reduce the life of the Reverse Osmosis
cartridge.

FILTRATION DRAIN CONNECTION
A suitable drain point and air gap (check your state
and/or local codes) are needed for reject water
from the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge.
RO FAUCET
The RO product water faucet installs on the sink
or on the countertop next to the sink. Often, it is
installed in an existing sink spray attachment hole or
a hole may be drilled. Space is required underneath
for tubing to and from the faucet, and for securing
the faucet in place. All faucet connections are done
on or above the sink or countertop.
BASEMENT INSTALLATION
If installing in a basement, leave enough tubing in
place during installation to be able to move unit
to floor for ease at servicing and making filter/
membrane changes. Additional tubing and fittings
required.
NOTE:
that may be required for a basement installation.
