FEED WATER
The water supply to the undercounter Reverse
Osmosis system must have the qualities listed in
the specifications. Municipal water supplies most
often will have these qualities. Well water may need
analysis laboratory and get their recommendations
for treatment.
IMPORTANT
greater than 10 grains (at 6.9 pH), the use of a
softener is recommended. Failure to install a softener
will reduce the life of the Reverse Osmosis cartridge.

FILTRATION DRAIN CONNECTION
A suitable drain point and air gap (check your state
and/or local codes) are needed for reject water
from the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge.
RO FAUCET
The RO product water faucet installs on the sink
or on the countertop next to the sink. Often, it
is installed in an existing sink spray attachment
hole or a hole may be drilled. Space is required
underneath for tubing to and from the faucet,
and for securing the faucet in place. All faucet
connections are done on or above the sink or
countertop.
BASEMENT INSTALLATION
If installing in a basement, leave enough tubing in
place during installation to be able to move unit
to floor for ease at servicing and making filter/
membrane changes. Additional tubing and fittings
required.
NOTE: See parts list on page 26 for optional parts
that may be required for a basement installation.
