4) Remove the RED plug from the RO System, and connect the other end of the 1/4" RED tubing into the fitting. Ensure
connection is secure.
NOTE: For basement installations, a longer length of feed water tubing may be needed.
Storage Tank Water Connection (YELLOW Plug)
1) Locate the Storage Tank Outlet, found on the side of the system. This should be identified with a 3/8" YELLOW plug.
2) Using the coil of 3/8" YELLOW tubing provided with the Parts Packet, remove the YELLOW plug and insert one end of the
tubing into the fitting. Ensure connection is secure.
3) Locate the Tank Shut-Off Valve that you installed in an earlier step. Connect the other end of the 3/8" YELLOW tubing to
this shut-off valve. Ensure the connection is secure.
Faucet Connection (BLUE Plug)
1) Locate the Faucet Outlet on your RO System. This should be identified with a 3/8" BLUE plug.
2) Using the coil of 3/8" BLUE tubing provided with the Parts Packet, remove the BLUE plug from the RO System, and connect
one end of the tubing into the fitting. Ensure connection is secure.
3) Locate the Faucet Connecter that was attached to the faucet stem in an earlier step. Connect the other end of 3/8" BLUE
tubing to this fitting. Ensure connection is secure.
IMPORTANT: The product water of any RO System should not flow through copper pipe, as the purity of the water will leach
copper into the water. This may cause an unpleasant taste in the water, and may also result in pinholes to form inside the pipe.
Drain/Reject Water Connection (BLACK plug)
For a RO System to function properly there must be a certain amount of backpressure on the drain/reject line. A drain line flow
restrictor is installed for this purpose. If drain line flow restrictor is missing, water will continually run to drain.
AN INTERNAL, CAPILLARY FLOW RESTRICTOR MUST BE INSTALLED WITH EVERY RO SYSTEM.
It is extremely important that the flow restrictor be installed correctly on the drain line tube.
Connect Drain Line Tubing:
1) Locate the Drain/Reject Outlet on your RO System. This should be identified with a 1/4" BLACK plug.
2) Using the coil of 1/4" BLACK tubing provided with the Parts Packet, remove the BLACK plug, and insert tubing into the
Drain/Reject Outlet of the RO System. Ensure connection is secure.
The remaining drain/reject connection instructions will vary depending on whether you have an air gap faucet or a non-air gap
faucet. Please only follow the steps that correspond to your type of faucet:
For a Standard Air Gap Faucet
1) At this point, one end of the provided 1/4" BLACK tubing should be connected to the Drain/Reject Outlet on your RO
System, with the desired Drain Flow Restrictor installed.
2) Connect the other end of the 1/4" BLACK tubing to the 1/4" barb connector, found at the bottom of the air gap faucet.
Ensure connection is secure.
IMPORTANT
See below diagram for location of flow restrictor.
