NOTE: When cutting the polytubing make
clean, square cuts, failing to do so could
result in poor connections and possible
leaks.
CAUTION: The lowest point of the line
should be the point of connection to the Drain
Clamp. There should be no sag in the line as
this may cause excessive noise as the reject
water is flowing to drain.
Insert the tubing into the Drain Clamp. Make
sure the tubing is pressed in all the way.
D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation
Various installation sites will require different
types of mounting fasteners; be sure the
fastener selected will provide a firm, solid
mounting. A support panel may be necessary on
thin cabinet walls or to span between wall studs
on particleboard or drywall.
Do not drill through exterior cabinet walls or
leave sharp wood screw points exposed in
readily accessible cabinet interiors.
The close proximity of a dishwasher or a trash
compactor may require special fabrication of a
mounting plate.
1. The mounting bracket will accept either #10
or #12 (5mm) mounting screws spaced on
6" (15 cm) centers. Allow at least 4" (10 cm)
of clearance beneath the filter housings to
accommodate filter changes. Mark the two
locations (the bracket can be used as a
template). Install the screws and tighten them
until the heads are about
2. Locate the ¼" Red Feed Water Tubing.
Remove the red plug from the fitting labelled
"In" on the manifold and insert the tubing.
Reference the special supplement sheet in
the carton for proper connection of all tubing
and removal of plugs. Run the tubing along
its course to the Feed Water Saddle Valve,
trim to length. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
Refer to Fig. 3. To the end of the red polytube
install the Compression Nut, the Plastic
Ferrule, and the Insert. Connect to the Feed
Water Saddle Valve.
3. Locate the ¼" Black Drain Tubing connected
to the Dispensing Faucet. Remove the black
plug from the fitting labelled "Drain" on the
manifold and insert the tubing. The end of the
Black Drain Tubing that should be inserted
into the "Drain" port will have a green drain
restrictor in it.

4. Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee
attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug
from the fitting labelled "Out" on the manifold
and insert the tubing.
5. Locate the

attached to the Dispensing Faucet. Firmly
press one end into the tee. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
The fittings will grab the tubing and seal it in
place. Make sure the tubing is pressed all the
way in to create a pressure tight connection.
6. Hang the Manifold Assembly on the
mounting screws and tighten. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
7. Remove the wrapping from the
In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter. Slice
the

convenient to install and change the In–Line
Filter. Make a clean straight cut to insure
proper connections. The "Out" port on the
In–Line Filter should be towards the faucet.
Firmly press in the tubing. The fittings will
grab the tubing and hold and seal it in place.
Make sure the tubing is pressed all the way
in to create a pressure tight connection.
E. Position the Drinking Water Holding Tank
and Make the Final Hose Connections.
1. Check the tank precharge pressure. Make
sure it is between 5 to 7 psig. If not, use a
bicycle hand pump or other pump to bring the
pressure up to the 5 to 7 psig range.
2. Pull the cap/plug off the top of the tank where
the Tank Shut–Off should go. (Refer to Fig.
1.)
3. Wrap Teflon tape three times around the ¼"
male outlet thread. Wrap in the direction of
the threads (clockwise when looking down
on the Holding Tank). The tape will act as a
thread sealant. Screw on the Holding Tank
Shut–Off Valve.
4. Locate the

one end into the Holding Tank Shut–Off Valve
and the other end into the tee. (Refer to Fig.

it in place. Make sure the tubing is pressed
all the way in to create a pressure tight
connection.
