  • Page 7 PART II. PLACING THE MEMBRANE INTO THE MEMBRANE HOUSING This system has been wet tested in the factory, and the RO membrane is sealed to preserve freshness. 1.

    Test for leaks at this point: Close the Needle Valve (turn needle handle clockwise all the way in to close) Turn ON the cold water supply to the sink faucet. If the Needle Valve or the Adaptor leaks, check the connection and try applying more Teflon tape or tighten the brass nut some more to stop the leak.

Attach the drain saddle to the drain pipe and tighten the two screws evenly. Fig.8A Step 3: Drill A Hole For The RO Faucet Drill 1/2”...

    3. For Porcelain Sink: Porcelain enameled sinks can readily be chipped if care is not exercised when drilling the hole. Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward pressure on the bit until a crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from walking when starting the hole. A small pilot hole will also aid the drill bit.

    Step 5: Positioning The System 1. Main System: The main system can stand in the sink cabinet. No need to mount the system to the wall. 2. Tank: The storage tank can also lay on its side if needed. The tank works fine in this posi- tion.

  • Page 18 Using RO for Ice-maker only: If you want the RO to feed your ice-maker (fridge) only, you should still connect the RO faucet as a 2nd outlet. This allows you to drain the tank, flush new filters through the faucet rather than through your icemaker line.
