NOTE: For optimal system performance, we recommend using tubing
lengths that are as short as possible.

Postfilter

Install the postfilter in line with the blue permeate tubing. Make sure flow direction
aligns with water path. Secure tubing with collet lock clips.
If the supplied postfilter is not used, install an ASO Cartridge in line with the blue
permeate tubing. The ASO Cartridge will help maintain proper mechanical
performance in the absence of the supplied postfilter. Contact your system
supplier for ASO Cartridge availability.

Drain Adapter (Optional)

The drain adapter has a rubber inlet that accepts the 3/8-inch black drain tube or
the 1/2-inch red tube. The 3/8-inch black tubing will connect here if the faucet is
not using the air gap module.
When the tubing is in position, use the supplied hose clamps to secure the
connection.
O-Ring
NOTE: Make sure the
tubing is pushed past the
O-rings for a secure fit.
Also, when replacing any
tubing, cut tubing back ~1/4
inch prior to re-inserting to
prevent leaks.
