INSPECTION & PREPARATION Get familiar with these steps before installing. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE COULD CAUSE SYSTEM FAILURE OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. CHECK WITH YOUR STATE AND/OR LOCAL PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR PLUMBING CODES. WARNING: DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.
COMPONENTS AND TOOLS IDENTIFICATION Your Reverse Osmosis System has been tested to ensure it will operate correctly. The following periodic maintenance is recommended so your system will provide years of trouble-free service: Replacement part Frequency Pre-filter (sediment) Every 6 mos. Pre-filters (activated carbon) Every 6 mos.
PRE-INSTALLATION System Location Your R/O system may be installed under a sink, in a basement or other location, depending on available space. Do not install unit where temperatures fall below freezing; otherwise, damage will result. Connection to an icemaker should also be considered for optimum performance. Guidelines for component placement are as follows: Faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking water is normally required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: All plumbing must be completed in accordance with state and local plumbing codes. Some municipalities may require installation by a licensed plumber. Check local authority prior to installation. Faucet Installation If the sink has a sprayer it may be disconnected for faucet installation. (Installing dealers should dis- cuss this with customers.) A pipe cap or plug will be necessary to seal the sprayer connection.
Installation Procedures for Stainless Steel Sinks Recommended tools: • Center punch • Variable speed drill • High speed drill bits • Greenlee chassis punch 7/8” (or 9/16” for non air gap faucets) • Protective gloves & eye protectors CHROME WASHER RUBBER GASKET Procedures 1.

Most under sink shut off valves have a built in smooth or corrugated riser going up to the faucet. (Refer to Diagram C for help with this type of valve.) Secure an adjustable wrench to the fitting on the cold water side of the sink faucet -- NOT THE R.O. Faucet! Secure another adjustable wrench to the smooth/corrugated riser line nut.
Drain Saddle Valve Installation Prior to proceeding it is important to inspect the condition of drain pipes to make sure they are not thin and frail. Drain saddle valves are designed to be installed on standard 1-1/2” OD drain pipe. Install drain saddle valve above (and before) the trap and on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece.
RO Unit Installation The RO unit is normally mounted to the right or left sink cabinet sidewall, depending on where supply tank is to be located. Generally the unit is installed at the front of the cabinet and the tank at the rear. To mount the unit, elevate it at least 2”...
Icemaker Hookup (optional) The RO drinking water device can be connected to any standard refrigerator ice maker or ice maker/ water dispenser. (Do not connect to a commercial type bar ice maker.) To complete this operation, connect a tee with shutoff valve into the faucet tubing and route tubing to the refrigerator.
4. Close faucet and re-inspect system for leaks. 5. Allow system to process water for approximately four hours, at which point tank will be practically full. 6. Open faucet again and allow tank to empty for a second time. DO NOT USE THIS WATER! 7.
5. Slowly open the feed water line at faucet. 6. Close faucet as soon as water begins to drip out of spout. 7. Let system stand for approximately 15 minutes. 8. After fifteen minutes do the following in order: • Close feed water valve. •...
Water Production Product water rate Usable water production from an RO system is designated product water rate, produced on a daily basis. The rate is normally described in gallons per day (gpd) or milliliters per minute (ml/min). Reject water rate The flow of water to drain is designated as reject water rate, as measured in gallons per day (gpd) or milliliters per minute (ml/min).
FITTINGS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS System Location This RO systems utilize Quick Connect fittings. These user-friendly fittings provide superior performance and may be provided with this system. Quick Connect Fittings Installation Instructions Cut the tubing Cut the tube cleanly and squarely. Ensure that the tube has a smooth outside diameter without any burrs, chamfers or score marks prior to inserting it into the fitting.

FILTER REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn off water supply to filter. 2. Depress release button (if present) to relieve pressure in filter housing. 3. Unscrew housing using filter wrench. NOTE: When opening filter housing to change cartridge, it is common for O-ring/Gasket to lift out of housing and stick to cap.
WARNINGS DO NOT USE with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. NOTE: Activated carbon cartridges and carbon block cartridges may contain a small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder) and a new cartridge, after installation, should be flushed with sufficient water to remove the fines before using the water.
