Insert feed supply valve between cold water line and existing connection. STEP 3. Follow the assembly sequence shown for attaching valve to the existing cold water line.
SpectraPure ® FAUCET INSTALLATION AIR GAP FAUCET INSTALLATION (DWS-90 and DWS-PP-90) A. Place the chrome counter plate and rubber washer over the threaded shaft and barbed nipples on the faucet (Refer to Figure below). B. Pass the Blue 3/8" tubing, the Yellow 1/4” tubing, and the Black 3/8" tubing up through the drilled countertop hole and temporarily secure them so they don’t fall back through the hole.
SpectraPure ® NON-AIR GAP FAUCET INSTALLATION (MPDW-90) A. Place the chrome counter plate and large rubber washer over the threaded shaft on the faucet and place in hole previously drilled on page 4. B. Place the small rubber washer, locating washer, flat metal washer, and hex nut in sequence over the threaded shaft and temporarily hand-tighten.
SpectraPure ® DRAIN SADDLE INSTALLATION 1. Refer to Figure 2 and determine the location for the drain saddle assembly and drain hole. It must be located above the “P” trap (“U” shaped bend in drain pipe) on the sink side of the drain pipe.
SpectraPure ® INSTALLING BALL VALVE ON TANK 1. If there is not Teflon tape applied to the nipple on the tank, wrap (7-12 turns) around the pipe threads (MPT) on the Stainless Steel fitting. 2. Thread the Ball Valve (supplied in the parts bag) onto the stainless steel nipple on top of the tank.
SpectraPure ® RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT Turn off the water supply to the RO system, close the ball valve on the tank, and open the faucet to relieve pressure in the system. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push fitting by depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the tubing from the push fitting (See “Working...
SpectraPure ® FILTER REPLACEMENT (See Page 5 for filter locations.) For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment and carbon prefilters should be changed at 6-month intervals. If your water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the prefilters might have to be changed at more frequent intervals to maintain an adequate production rate.
SpectraPure ® SANITIZING THE RO SYSTEM (once a year) Sanitizing is recommended at least once every year or if water smells (or tastes) bad even after a post carbon filter replacement. A convenient time for sanitization is during a filter changeout. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE CLEAN HANDS WHILE HANDLING INNER PARTS OF THE SYSTEM.
