NOTE: The life of the filters and membrane depend on the quality of water supplied to the reverse osmosis system. PRE–INSTALLATION INSPECTION: After opening the shipping container, locate the following items: 1. Reverse osmosis system 2. Membrane and flow restrictor 3. Storage tank 4. Faucet with mounting hardware 5.
Maximum 80 PSI Minimum 40 PSI This reverse osmosis system is designed to operate at a water pressure in the range of 40 to 80 PSI. At pressures lower than this, the quantity as well as quality will be reduced. At higher pressure, severe damage to the system may result.
MEMBRANE AND FLOW RESTRICTOR ASSEMBLY PROCESS: 1) Identify membrane element and flow restrictor (color and type depends on membrane being used) included in box: 2) Identify membrane vessel feed cap: 3) Remove feed cap as shown (turn counter clockwise): 4) Insert membrane in direction as shown: RF –...

NOTE: If hole in copper tube (cold water line) is not adequately pierced, this may prevent sufficient cold water supply to the system and reduce the performance of reverse osmosis Insert black washer into bottom of processing. In this event, open and close the the feed water connector self–piercing valve several times.
Mount the drain saddle. Align the drain saddle port with the 1/4” drilled hole using a Reverse Osmosis Unit Placement small drill bit or other small straight object. and Mounting GENTLY TIGHTEN the two screws evenly on both sides of the clamp until the clamp is snug on the pipe.
IMPORTANT!! Be very careful not to kink any insert the 1/4” nylon insert into the end of the of the tubing on the reverse osmosis system. tubing. Then insert the tubing into the nylon If tubing is kinked, the tubing can rupture and fitting on the feedwater adapter.
Flushing the Reverse Osmosis System Lift the reverse osmosis faucet handle until it locks in the upright position. Let the water drip for two hours. After 2 hours, turn off the reverse osmosis faucet.
