Preparation For Installation; Installation Procedure - AQUALUX AQLXC-5RO Operating Manual

This reverse osmosis unit is designed to operate at water pressure in the range from 40 psi to 70 psi.
At lower pressures the reverse osmosis membrane will produce lower quantity and quality drinking water and
severe damage to the system may result. Low pressure boost pumps are available from your dealer and will
quietly supply the required pressure to the reverse osmosis unit for optimum performance and life.
If local water pressure exceeds 70 psi, a pressure regulator should be installed, reducing the water pressure into
the system. Operating the system at pressure exceeding 70 psi voids the warranty on the system.

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

This reverse osmosis unit is compactly designed to fit under most kitchen sinks. Before proceeding with the
installation, the optimum positioning of components must be determined. The following guidelines should be
considered in making this determination.
A) The REVERSE OSMOSIS HEAD ASSEMBLY will free stand alone or may be mounted against a vertical
surface in a position to allow access for service and filter cartridge changing. The reverse osmosis head
assembly should be relatively close to the sink drain and the long reach faucet location to maximize flow
rate.
B) The STORAGE TANK should be located where it can be removed, if necessary, without taking away
needed storage space. The storage tank can be placed in any position, including on its side, without
affecting the performance of the system. The storage tank can also be located up to fifteen feet (15') away
from the reverse osmosis head assembly with nominal pressure loss.
C) The LONG REACH FAUCET location should be convenient and positioned to assure a free flow pattern
into the sink. It must also be in a location that allows ready accessible from the sink with clear access for
the mounting hardware. If the faucet stud will not be of sufficient length, an extension is available.
