1. Using a length of the 3/8" blue tubing, check to make sure end of tubing is cut square. Insert one end into the 3/8"

plastic adapter on the air gap faucet. Push it into the adapter until it bottoms out, then pull down on the tubing to

lock it in place. Route the free end of the blue 3/8" tubing from the air gap faucet to the 3/8" tee behind the post

carbon filter housing. (Refer to Figure 9).

2. Screw the right-angled tank ball valve assembly onto the pressure tank and route the 3/8" blue product water tubing

from the 3/8" "T" behind the left-most filter to the tank valve.

3. Route 3/8" black tubing from barbed nipple on air gap faucet to drain saddle. Make this length as direct as possible

with no dips, then cut with sharp knife or razor. Remove hex compression nut from drain saddle, slip over the tubing,

then insert tubing in drain saddle until bottomed and tighten nut securely.

4. Slip the compression nut into the end of the 1/4" black feed water tubing from the RO system. Next, slip the conical

plastic compression sleeve over the same end. Make certain the taper on the compression sleeve faces the Feed

Supply Valve. Press the insert into the end of the tube. Place the tubing into the Feed Supply Valve until bottomed,

then tighten the hex compression nut securely with a 1/2" wrench.

5. Make sure all connections are tight, turn water on at Feed Supply Valve and watch for leaks. Tighten connections as

necessary if leaks occur.

6. NOTE: The storage tank is pressurized with air at the factory to 6 psi with the tank totally drained. Over a period of

time, air may bleed out causing the delivery rate of the stored water to decrease. If this occurs, verify correct tank

pressure using a low pressure air gauge on the tire valve stem located on the bottom of the tank with the tank

completely empty of water.

7. Refer to operation and maintainence sections of the manual.

1. Turn off feed supply valve and the ball valve on tank.

2. Locate the 3/8" Blue tube that leads to the faucet.

3. Cut the tube and reconnect the cut ends with a 3/8" x 3/8" x 1/4" Tee.

4. Connect 1/4" Tubing to the third leg of the tee and rotate to refrigerator.

5. Turn on feed supply valve and the ball valve.

This completes installation for the Ice Maker.

1. Slowly turn the cold water supply to full flow.

Note 1: Wait for an hour before drawing water from of the faucet.

Note 2: It is recommended that at least 3 full tanks of purified water be discarded before using.

Note 3: Never run hot water (>100°F) through the system.

2. Waste water to product water ratio should be at least 4:1. This ratio is pre-set at the factory and should not require

adjustment until membrane is replaced.

3. It may require adjustment if any of the following conditions exist:

a. Extremely hard water (> 15 grains hardness).

b. Very warm water temperatures (> 80 °F water temperatures).

c. Line pressure outside of 50-70 psi range. If line pressure is over 80 psi, a pressure regulator. Please

contact the factory.

4. NOTE: It is important that air is bled from the system during initial operation. To do this, orient the RO unit with the

product (permeate) and reject (brine) water ports facing upwards. (Round end of RO membrane housing is up, pre-

filter housings are horizontal). Allow a minimum of 15 minutes operation with this orientation.

5. Before using the system, allow three tank fillings to occur, then flushing the contents by locking the air gap faucet

lever to the open position until drained.
