Please read this manual carefully before proceeding with installation or maintenance. All work must be conducted by a trained
water treatment professional, familiar with the equipment. Failure to follow instructions or operating parameters, may lead to
personal injury or damage to the equipment and/or personal property. The information provided in this document is solely for
informative purposes. It is the user's responsibility to ensure the appropriate installation, usage, and maintenance of all equipment.
Do not use this system with water from non-potable water sources, microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before and after the system. Feed water parameters must always be followed.
All RO systems contain replaceable water treatment components critical for effective performance. It is the user's responsibility to
regularly inspect the system and test the product water to verify satisfactory performance. All components should be replaced at the
Manufacturer's recommended time, or when the component shows signs of needing replacement, whichever occurs first. A leak
detection and supply water shutoff device must always be installed and operational. Failure to take necessary precautions and
properly maintain this RO system may cause a health risk, lead to personal injury, and/or cause damage to the equipment and
personal property.

Page 13: Step 1: Select An Installation Site
Step 1: Select an Installation Site This RO System was designed compact enough to fit under most kitchen sinks. However, the RO System may easily be installed in a basement, closet, crawl space, or wherever it’s most convenient. If a basement installation is selected, note that additional tubing, hardware, and fittings may be needed, and that a hole must be made from inside the cabinet through the floor to the basement. -

3) Drill a pilot hole using 1/4” carbide tipped pilot drill bit. 4) Drill at a slow speed to avoid cracking and chipping. 5) Using a porcelain cutter, drill out 1/2” hole. Keep the drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil to keep the drill bit cool. - Page 15 If Using C-Style Self-Piercing Saddle Valve (Optional) The C-Style Self-Piercing Saddle Valve is a great option for copper piping, but can also be used with hard steel, iron, brass, or CPVC piping. The simple mechanism fits 3/8” and 5/8” copper tubing. When the hand crank is turned, its ease- of-use technology pierces the cold feed water pipe.
