Page 8: Installing The System
INSTALLING THE SYSTEM *All filters are already pre-installed inside their housings, please follow the installation steps listed below. The Ro Lite Commercial system can be installed in any location where there is a cold water supply with suffi- cient water pressure for your chosen RO model, and an outlet to drain off the waste water generated by the system. - Page 9 Fig. 2 Fig. 2C Sink Sink Faucet Faucet Shank Shank Riser Riser Tube Tube Feed Water Adaptor Feed Water Adaptor Main Water Main Water Supply Supply Shut-off Shut-off Valve Valve For Solid Line For Flexible Line Fig. 2B Fig. 2A Fig.
- Page 10 4. Test for leaks at this point: Close the Ball Valve by turning the “handle” to the vertical position, this will shut-off the feed water. Then, turn ON the cold water supply, watch to see if there is water leaking at the connection.
- Page 11 2. See Fig. 4. Mark the position of the hole on the drain pipe and drill a 1/4” hole through one side of the drain pipe. There is a piece of self-adhesive sponge provided. Glue this sponge to the inside of the saddle, this will cushion any gap between the saddle and the pipe.
- Page 12 Step 3: Drilling A Hole For The RO Faucet The RO dispensing faucet can be mounted on the sink, on the counter top, or simply hang at a location where it’s convenient for you to dispense the filtered water. You will need to drill a hole only if you choose to mount the faucet on a surface.
- Page 13 For Porcelain Sink: Porcelain enameled sinks can readily be chipped if care is not exercised when drilling the hole. Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward pressure on the bit until a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from walking when starting the hole.
- Page 14 Step 5: Positioning The System The RO system can stand on the ground or be secured to the wall. The storage tank may be laid on its side if needed. This position does not affect the tank’s performance. If there is not enough room near the RO system, you can put the tank away from the system, up to about 20 feet horizontal without much pressure loss.
- Page 15 1. Point Z Faucet connections: Tubing color: Clear tubing. Connect the 3/8” CLEAR tubing to the base of the RO faucet. Fitting type: Quick-Connect fitting. No Teflon tape needed here. 2. Point X Feed water connection: Tubing color: Red tubing. Connect the 3/8” RED tubing to the Feed Water Ball Valve. Fitting type: Metal compression nut fitting.
- Page 16 7. Point Y Tank’s input & output connection: Fig. 7 Tank Shut-Off Valve Kit: The tank-shut off kit includes 2 parts. A Shut-off valve and a Tank Output Adap- tor. They are NOT tightened when we ship out the tank. At this point, wrap Teflon tape onto threaded parts on the tank adaptor.
- Page 17 Step 7: System Start-Up Turn on feed water: Slowly, turn on your cold water supply. Open the Feed Water Ball Valve to allow the raw water to enter the system. Turn the “handle” to the horizontal position. Check for leaks! Turn on tank valve: Turn on the tank’s ball valve to allow water to enter the tank.

Page 18: Filter Change Schedule
FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE The system requires very little maintenance. Just change the filter cartridges regularly as suggested below. Keep the system sheltered from the weather elements, and run the system within its reasonable output ca- pacity (i.e. allow the system to rest a few hours a day). Stages-1,2,3 Pre-filters: City water usage: Replace the pre-filters at least once a year (annually), or about 8000 gallons of filtered water produced, whichever comes first. -
Page 19: Filter Change Instructions
FILTER CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS How To Replace Stages 1, 2, 3 Pre-Filters: Turn OFF cold water supply to RO system. Turn OFF tank’s ball-valve. Lift up RO faucet lever briefly to relief the built-up pressure inside the RO system. This will make opening the hous- ings easier. - Page 20 How to Replace Stage-4 Membrane: There are several membranes (2 to 4 depending on model) provided with your system. Please insert the membrane into each housing one-by-one to prevent mis-connecting the tubing. Locate the Membrane housings on the system. See Fig 8 The number of housing matches with the number of membranes provided.
- Page 21 How to Replace Last Stage Post Carbon Filter: Replace this last filter at the same time you replace the stage-4 membrane. Locate the last stage carbon filter. See Fig 8 on Page 16. Remove the OLD filter: Disconnect the input 3/8” tubing at Point G. and output 3/8” tubing at Point H.
- Page 22 OWNER’S MANUAL This section provides explanation and basic concepts on how an RO system works, and how it performs in relation to your input water’s condition. We hope this information helps keep your RO system running at top performance for years to come. 1).
- Page 23 4). How Long Does It Take to Fill Tank? Depending on your water pressure and RO model, the standard tank will fill up in about 2-3 hours. After the tank is filled, the RO will shut off automatically. 5). Ro Delivery Pressure. The Ro’s delivery pressure depends on how full the storage tank is.
- Page 24 8). How to Test Your Water Pressure: Get a water pressure gauge that adapts onto your sink or garden faucet (from hardware store), attach gauge onto faucet, turn water on to FULL, then take a reading. For some areas, water pressure is lower during the day and higher at night when less people are using water.
- Page 25 11). Premature Membrane Failure: There are 4 common causes that lead to premature membrane failure: Failing to replace the 3 pre-filters as frequently as needed: If you’re on city water: The over-depleted carbon pre-filters allow the chlorine to get through and damage the membrane.
