DRAIN SADDLE INSTALLATION

All reverse osmosis units will produce
waste water. The waste water contains
high concentrations of TDS, but would be
acceptable to use on plants. Depending on
your installation, you may want to save the
waste water for other uses.
Another option is to connect the reverse
osmosis waste line to the drain under a sink.
We have included a drain saddle that will fit
standard size sink drain pipes.
Step 1
Locate all pieces of the drain saddle
1 – Bracket with ¼"
press fit opening
1 – Bracket – solid

CAUTION: If installing with a garbage disposal the saddle must be above the disposal. If a second sink
drain is available, install it above the cross bar on the second sink drain. Installation of the drain saddle
below a disposal may cause the drain to plug.
Step 3
The drain saddle must be mounted at
least 2" above the nut of the p-trap or
cross bar from the garbage disposal to
insure proper drainage. Locate where the
drain saddle will be mounted and mark
with a piece of masking tape and pencil.

Step 4
Drill a ¼" hole in the drain pipe where you
marked it on the masking tape. Remove the
masking tape and clear any plastic burs/
shavings from the new hole in the drain pipe.

Step 5
Align the drain saddle with the drilled hole in
the drain pipe using a screwdriver to ensure
the holes are aligned.
Step 6
Tighten the two screws into the nuts using a
Phillips screwdriver.
MOUNTING THE REVERSE
OSMOSIS/DEIONIZATION UNIT
The Aquatic Life TI RO/DI unit is designed
to be mounted to a secure surface. This will
allow for the cartridges to easily be replaced
as needed.
The TI module includes a metal bracket
with screw holes for easy hanging.
Use screws designed for the type of
surface that the TI module will hang on.
Once the TI module is hanging on the
screws, tighten the screws to secure the
TI module.
NOTE: If your model includes
rubber plugs on any of the ports,
it is now OK to remove the plug
by simply pulling it out.
