Things to Check Before Beginning Installation
The water supply to the
FEED WATER—
undercounter Reverse Osmosis system must
have the qualities listed in the specifications
(see the Specifications Guidelines section).
Municipal water supplies most often will
have these qualities. Well water may need
conditioning— have the water tested by a
water analysis laboratory and get their
recommendations for treatment.
CAUTION: For water with a hardness
greater than 10 grains (at 6.9 pH),
the use of a softener is recommended.
Failure to install a softener will reduce
the life of the Reverse Osmosis
membrane. See the Specifications
Guidelines section for additional
information on the possible need
for a softener.

Sink p-trap
DRAIN POINT*— A suitable drain point and air
gap (check your local codes) are needed for
reject water from the Reverse Osmosis
membrane cartridge.
RO FAUCET— The RO product water faucet
installs on the sink or on the countertop next
to the sink. Often, it is installed in an existing
sink spray attachment hole. Space is required
underneath for tubing to and from the faucet,
and for securing the faucet in place. All faucet
connections and installation procedures are
done on or above the sink or countertop.
Refer to Fig. 1 below.
BASEMENT INSTALLATION– If installing in a
basement, leave enough tubing in place
during installation to be able to move unit to
floor for ease at servicing and making
filter/membrane changes.
