4. It's almost time to choose where to install your new Water Optimizer. You should have a
pretty good idea based on available space and whichever configuration you selected.
There's only one remaining factor you need to consider, and that is your tubing (water
lines).
5. Your water source, Optimizer, and any accessory appliances all need to be connected
by the white ¼ in. PP tubing (included in your installation kit)
hose. Take a moment to visualize where you'll need to run your water tubing, and visually
inspect any potential trouble areas, and adjust your plans accordingly. Below are a two
examples:
A. Cabinets separating your Optimizer from a water source or appliance, requiring
you to route tubing over/under, or drill holes.
B. Lack of vertical access from your water source under your sink to above your
counter-top, requiring drilling holes to run the tubing inside your cabinets, or
through your counter-top.
Congratulations, the most difficult part is out of the way! Let's get started
