INSTALLATION

Step 1: Install The Feed Water Tubing

1. Close the cold water supply valve. Turn on the kitchen faucet to release the water pressure. Please make sure the kitchen faucet has remained open without any water coming out, then proceed to the next step.
2. Unscrew the cold water pipe from the cold water supply valve.
3. Insert the white 3/8" PE tube into the side with pull buckle on the RO feed water adapter. Please make sure the tube is fully inserted and locked.
4. Screw the cold water pipe onto the RO feed water adapter with the original washer in between. Then tighten the pipe firmly with an adjustable wrench.
5. Screw your RO feed water adapter onto the cold water supply valve with washer in between. Then tighten the adapter firmly with an adjustable wrench.
6. Connect the white 3/8" PE tube to the feed water port on the machine (Figure 4).
   

Note 1: DO NOT turn on the cold water supply valve and the RO feed water adapter before starting up the system.
Note 2: For 4 and 5, If the cold water pipe is 3/8" instead of 1/2", please use the attached 3/8" converter (Figure 3).

Step 2: Install The Pure Water Tubing

1. Place upper-cap and mounting-washer on the faucet rod.
2. Insert the RO faucet into the hole on the countertop. If there is no existing hole, please refer to the later Note.
3. Under the sink, place the bottom-cap and the nut on the faucet rod. Tighten them up until the faucet stands firmly on the counter.
4. Place the Quick-Connect Fitting to the bottom of faucet rod. Pull it few times to make sure it is connected firmly.
5. Push the blue 1/4" PE tube into the other end of the Quick-Connect Fitting.
6. Measure the needed length of blue 1/4" PE tube to reach the machine. Then use the utility knife or scissors to cut the tube.
7. Connect the cut blue 1/4" PE tube to the pure water port on the machine (Figure 5).
   

Note: If there is no existing hole available on the countertop, please refer to the following procedures to drill a hole. When drilling the hole, please remember to wear safety goggles to protect your eyes.

1. Choose matching drill bits for the material of the counter: use diamond core for granite, and use a carbide drill bit for stainless steel. Avoiding using a hammer drill on natural stone, glass or ceramic.
2. Stick the bottom of the faucet rod on the sink or countertop. Start drilling at the lowest speed, and hold the drill straight with firm pressure to prevent the bit from slipping.
3. Drill a suitable hole according to the size (1%4") of the faucet rod.
4. Once the drill bit breaks through the surface, slightly swirl the drill to apply pressure in a circle evenly.

Step 3: Install The Waste Water Tubing

1. Choose a preferred location on the drainpipe to install the drain saddle. We highly suggest to install the drain saddle on the vertical-directed drainpipe.
2. Drill a 1/4" hole on the side of the drainpipe. Be careful not to penetrate the other side of the drainpipe.
3. Place the front plate on the end of the remaining black 1/4" PE tube, and insert the tube into the drilled hole for about 1" deep (Figure 6).
   
4. Place the back plate on the other side of the drainpipe to combine to the front plate. Use the adjustable wrench to tighten the plates with screws and nuts evenly.
5. Connect the black 1/4" PE tube to the waste water port on the machine (Figure 7).
   

Step 4: Install The Water Leakage Protector

1. Plug the water leakage protector into the water leakage protector port on the machine (Figure 8).
   
2. Tear off the double-sided tape on the water leakage protector; then stick the water leakage protector near the machine.

Note: If the leakage protector is correctly installed, no further settings are needed. When a leak occurs, the leakage protector will sound and pause the system. Please contact Bluevua Support Team for technical support. If the leakage protection is triggered by humidity or water from outside, please clean the water on and in the leakage protector. After cleaning, press the RESET button to start again.

Step 5: Plug In The Power and Start Up System

1. Plug the power adapter into the power outlet, then connect the DC cable to the power port on the machine (Figure 9).
   
2. The machine will automatically start flushing for 45 seconds. Turn on the RO faucet. Let the faucet runs for 30 minutes to flush out the protective liquid in the RO filter. Pay close attention to each joint of the system during the flushing process. Make sure all tubing is installed correctly and there is no leakage at any joint, fitting, valve, or PE tube connection. Be aware that a slow water flow is normal when the RO faucet is turned on, and the water is NOT drinkable during the flushing process.

OSD FUNCTION

Operating Display

Indicator	Operating Status	Display
Power-On	When power is on, the buzzer plays power-on sound, all button lights and digital function menus are on. The system will do self-check. If there is no alarm, the system will switch to auto-flushing mode after 3 seconds.	The indicator of the PCP/RO/ CTO filter is always on. It lights up when it is in the state of auto-flushing and pure water-making.
	Turn on the RO faucet, the machine automatically starts water production. Turn off the RO water faucet, the machine stops producing water.	The indicator flashes during water-making process, and turns off when the process is done.
	When the system has detected a leak, the alarm rings every hour. Once the leakage is fixed and the machine is restarted, the alarm stops.	The indicator flashes red rapidly,
	When the system has detected a long-term constant water-making status, the alarm buzzer rings every 5 seconds. Once the machine is turned off and restarted, the alarm stops.	The indicator flashes red rapidly.
	When one or more filters expire, the alarm buzzer rings rapidly as a routine filter replacement reminder. The alarm repeats on every attempt of pure water-making. After 360 hours (15 days) of alarm, the system will turn off inlet solenoid valve and booster pump, The indicators must be reset to restart the lifetime reminder after the filter replacement.	The indicators remain white constantly under normal status. When the filter expires, the indicator flashes white repeatedly until the replacement and reset process are completed.
