Page 4: Parts Overview
Parts Overview • Pre-Filter (Sediment Filter) - Removes larger particles such as sand, silt, rust and scale. • Pre-Filter (Activated Carbon Filters) - Removes chlorine and chloramine in the feed water to protect the reverse osmosis membrane. • Reverse Osmosis Membrane - Reduces dissolved minerals, metals and salts. During the process, harmful compounds are separated by the membrane and the reject water goes to waste (drain). -
Page 5: Tools Needed
Tools Needed The following tools may be necessary depending on each particular installation: • Phillips head and flat blade screwdrivers • Adjustable wrench • Teflon tape • Plastic Tube Cutter support.uswatersystems.com www.uswatersystems.com... -
Page 6: Quick Connect Fittings
Quick Connect Fittings Many RO systems utilize quick connect fittings. These user-friendly fittings provide supe- rior performance and are provided with this system. Proper use of these push-in fittings is shown below. Along with these fittings, all tubing selected must be of high quality and must be cut with a plastic tube cutter or sharp razor with a clean, square cut. -
Page 7: Disconnecting
Disconnecting Push in Collet and Remove Tubing - To disconnect, ensure the system is depressur- ized before removing the tube, Push in the collet squarely against the face of the fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can be re-used. Should a leak occur at a fitting, the cause is generally defective tubing. -
Page 8: Installation Location
Installation Location The RO system may be installed under a sink, in a basement, or other location de- pending on available space. Do not install unit where temperatures fall below freezing. Otherwise, damage will occur. Connection to an ice maker should also be considered for optimum performance. -
Page 9: Installation
Installation Faucet Installation If a faucet was purchased from US Water Systems, follow the below steps taking care to follow the correct procedure for the faucet purchased. Otherwise, proceed to Angle Stop Valve Installation steps. 290-POUF-USW If the sink has a sprayer, it may be disconnected for faucet installation. A pipe cap or plug will be necessary to seal the sprayer connection. - Page 10 Install the faucet as shown in Fig 1. Assistance may be needed to hold the faucet in place while the nut is tightened. Once the faucet is secure, install the 7/16" UNS x 3/8" QC faucet connector on the threaded nipple. This fitting does not require sealant as it seals at the beveled surface.
- Page 11 291-USW-POUF If the sink has a sprayer, it may be disconnected for faucet installation. A pipe cap or plug will be necessary to seal the sprayer connection. To make the faucet mounting hole (if sprayer or second hole is not used), check below the surface to ensure the drill does not interfere with anything.

Page 12: Feed Water Angle Stop Valve And Tubing Installation
Install the faucet by inserting the faucet stem into the previously drilled hole. Make sure the rubber gasket is flush with the sink and seated properly. Install the tightening nut onto the faucet stem underneath the sink. Assistance may be needed to hold the faucet in place while the nut is tightened. Now push the blue tube into the faucet connector. - Page 13 Remove the sink faucet "whip hose" or tubing from the shutoff valve. There will be residual water spilled when this tube is removed. Be sure to have a towel to dry the water that is spilled. Now install the angle stop valve on the sink faucet shutoff valve and tighten it.
- Page 14 Be sure the blue handle on the angle stop valve is in the closed position (as pic- tured). Now open the sink shutoff valve and check the angle stop connections for leaks. If there are leaks, repair them now. If there are no leaks, connect the orange tubing to the angle stop valve.

Page 15: Drain Saddle Installation
Drain Saddle Installation Prior to Drain saddle installation, 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 the drain saddle valve above the trap (between the sink and trap) and on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. -
Page 16: Tank Installation
Install the black drain line to the port on the drain saddle. Tank Installation Apply Teflon tape to the tank outlet threads. 3 - 4 wraps will be sufficient. Install the tank valve by turning it clockwise. Tightening it hand tight is usually ade- quate but additional tightening may be required. -
Page 17: Ro Filters Installation
RO Filters Installation Remove the first sump from the RO unit. When facing the unit, this would be the far right sump. Remove the packaging from the sediment filter (red top) and grease the O-rings on the top of the filter. Push the filter into the filter top, ensuring it is fully seated. - Page 18 Remove the middle sump from the RO unit. Remove the packaging from the carbon block filter (white top) and grease the O-rings on the top of the filter. Push the filter into the filter top, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten the center sump hand tight and secure it with the supplied filter wrench by turning it an additional 1/4 - 1/2 turn.
- Page 19 Remove the leftmost sump from the RO unit. Remove the packaging from the chlora- mine carbon block (green top) and grease the O-rings on the top of the filter. Push the filter into the filter top, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten the far left sump hand tight and secure it with the supplied filter wrench by turning it an additional 1/4 - 1/2 turn.

Page 20: Membrane Installation
Membrane Installation Remove the 1/4" tubing from the membrane housing cap by pressing the collet on the elbow fitting toward the fitting. When the collet is flush with the fitting, the tubing will pull out of the fitting with little effort. Use the aforementioned procedure for removing quick connect fittings. - Page 21 Remove the membrane from the protective packaging and install it in the membrane housing. There are two O-rings on one end of the membrane. Lightly lubricate these O-rings with the supplied silicone grease. Be sure the membrane is fully seated in the housing. If the membrane is fully seated, it will be about 1/8"...
- Page 22 Lubricate the O-ring on the membrane housing and install the cap hand tight. Tighten the cap an additional 1/8 - 1/4 turn. Push the 1/4" tubing back into the elbow fitting. Be sure it is fully seated in the fitting or a leak could occur.

Page 23: Ro Unit Installation
RO Unit Installation The RO Unit is normally mounted to the sink cabinet sidewall, depending on where the 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"... - Page 24 Be sure the storage tank shutoff valve is in the closed position. Connect the open end of the green tubing from the tank to the RO units post carbon filter inlet tee fitting. Leave the tank valve closed. Connect the orange tubing from the angle stop supply valve to the RO unit at the sediment filter inlet fitting.

Page 25: Ice Maker Hookup (Optional)
Ice Maker Hookup (Optional) The RO drinking water system can be connected to any standard refrigerator ice maker or ice maker / water dispenser. 3/8" tubing must be used for ice maker connections. If your system is using 1/4" tubing for the tank and faucet, it will need to be changed to 3/8" tubing. -
Page 26: System Start Up
System Start Up Prior to Start Up Check all connections and ensure they are secure. Turn on the feed water valve and check for leaks. (Turn off and correct leaks if any occur) Close the valve on the storage tank (The tank should be closed from the Final Tubing Connections) and open the faucet until a steady stream of water flows. -
Page 27: Air Purging
Air Purging If the tank does not fill, the tank tubing may have air in it. Typically the standard startup procedure will be sufficient but in some cases, due to the water temperature and pres- sure, additional air bleeding must be performed. The following procedure will help bleed air from the system. -
Page 28: Maintenance
Maintenance The RO system contains filters and membranes which must be replaced periodically for proper operation. Replacement Part Frequency 551-USWS-2509-05-OR (First Sump) Every 6-12 Months 507-USWCB-2509-OR (Second Sump) Every 6-12 Months 507-USWCB-2509-CL-OR (Third Sump) Every 6-12 Months 255-208340 (100 GPD RO Membrane Every 3-5 Years 530-INLRO-14-B (Carbon Post Filter) Every 6-12 Months... -
