 Your system contains filters which must be replaced periodically for proper operation. (Refer to Filter
Change Schedule on page 8.)
 Read all steps and guides carefully before installing and using your RO system. Follow all steps exactly to
correctly install.
 The system is designed to be used on potable water supplies only. If water is non-potable, additional pre-
treatment will be required.
 Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamina-
tion source, such as contamination by raw sewage.
 All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes and requirements.
 This system works on water pressures of 20 psi (minimum) to 100 psi (maximum). If your house water
pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply line to the filter system.
 Do not install the system outside, or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of the water supply
to the system must be between 40°F and 100°F. Do not install on hot water.
The following tools may be necessary, depending on the particular installation.
 3/8" variable speed electric drill;
1/8", ¼", ½" bits
 Center punch and hammer
 Phillips head and flat blade screw-
drivers
Your Filter system may be installed under the sink, in a basement, or other location depending on available
space. It is recommended the system be installed in as close a proximity to the faucet to ensure optimal sys-
tem flow rate. If you have a water dispenser and or ice maker in your fridge, your Filter system can be in-
stalled to provide the feed water for these features but you should consult your fridge owners manual for fur-
ther information.
Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
Faucet
should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking water is normally required. A 2" flat surface is
required to mount the faucet if an existing hole for a second faucet is not available. The thickness of the
mounting surface should not exceed 1-1/4"
Filter unit
may be mounted on either side of the sink, in a cabinet or heated basement, with nearby access
to a potable cold line.
Feed water connection
cate this assembly as close to the Filter unit as possible. Connect to a potable, cold water supply line only.
