Starting Your Installation

Preparation

Check the following list of components to ensure that all parts are packed with your system.

Quantity

1 Each

Item

Storage Tank

RO System

Faucet a c c c

Fittings and Tubing

Easy Fit fittings are used throughout the system with the exception of the supply feed and drain connector. To insure an optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the end square.

An angled cut or distortion of the tubing will not provide an efficient seal and may cause leaks.

To install a tube, push it through the collet until it seats firmly. To remove a tube, push in the collet and pull out the tube.

Determine the location for the installation of the RO system. Avoid locations where the system might come in contact with hot water pipes or other hazards. Determine the location for the faucet. Check to see that drilling the faucet hole will not damage pipes or wires running underneath the sink. Determine the location for the storage tank. A maximum distance from tank to faucet of 15 feet is possible. The system will produce a faster flow at the faucet with the shortest tubing run from tank to faucet.

Check to see that no damage has occurred during shipment, all connectors are secure, and there are no leaks once the system is hooked up. Close inspection of the system should be performed during the first week of operation.

Shutting Off the Water

Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed line you choose to use for the supply. Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot supply line will permanently damage the membrane (See Conditions for operation). To assure you are using the cold water line, turn on both the hot and cold faucet. After the water is warm to the touch, feel the pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.

Close the cold water valve. Turn on the cold water faucet only to assure that the line is completely shut off and the line is drained. If no shut off valve is located under the sink, turn off the main supply at the entry to the house.

Fittings & Tubing Diagram

Compression fittings are used on the supply feed and drain connector. To insure a optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the end square. An angled cut or distortion of the tubing will not provide an efficient seal and may cause leaks.

Installation

Supply Feed Installation

(A) Flex Line: Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from faucet shank. Gently bend riser tube so that slip joint fits onto faucet shank. Replace the existing cone washer with new washer provided in installation kit onto cold water riser tube. Reinstall riser tube onto slip joint adapter and tighten.

(B) Solid Copper Riser Tube: Same procedure as flex tubing except you must cut a piece of the riser tube about

3/4” to 1” so the slip joint adapter can fit between faucet and riser tube (Teflon tape must be used on slip joint adapter to prevent leaks).

Using the opening in the drain outlet saddle as a guide, drill a 1/4” hole in the drain pipe. Clean debris from the saddle and threads.

Mounting the Tank Ball Valve

(1) Wrap the threads on the top of the water storage tank

3 times with plumbers (Teflon) tape only. Make sure it is tight, but not over tight. (2) Connect the tank ball valve assembly to the top of the water storage tank. (3) Connect the tube from the RO membrane to the water storage tank.

Note: Do not tamper with the air valve on the storage tank. It has been preset and screwed on with blue cap by the manufacturers.

Installation - Product Water Faucet

Drilling the Faucet Hole

The product water faucet may be installed on any flat surface at least 2” in diameter. Check the underside of the location for interference.

Porcelain/Enamel Sinks

A 1” variable speed drill is recommended for this procedure.

A spring loaded Relton style drill set is strongly recommended to prevent chipping. The plastic sleeve supplied on the pilot drill is to be positioned on the drill bit against the drill chuck. This prevents the chuck from contacting the porcelain after the pilot hole has been completed. Avoid high motor RPM during the initial cutting of the porcelain as this can cause chipping.

Stainless Steel Sink

Make a small indent to mark the desired drilling location using a center punch. Drill a pilot hole with a 1/8” metal drill bit. Enlarge the hole using a 1” metal drill bit.

Air Gap Faucet Installation

Once the hole has been drilled place the chrome washer under the faucet body. Next, insert the rubber gasket under the chrome washer and locate the RO faucet in the hole.

Install the lock washer and nut and then tighten firmly while aligning the faucet in the desired direction. Finally, connect the Easy Fit 3/8” fittings (in the installation kit) on the faucet shank using teflon tape.

Drilling with the recommended Relton cut ter

Using a carbide tipped drill bit, drill a pilot hole completely through the porcelain and the material underneath. Place the spring loaded porcelain saw into the drill chuck. Make sure the pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert the pilot guide into the pilot hole. Push down gently on the drill motor to apply light pressure to the porcelain surface. Start the drill motor turning as slowly as possible. After the initial cut has started, motor speed may be gradually increased. The cut may require three to four minutes to complete. Going faster could result in excessive chipping. This saw is used to cut the porcelain only. Be sure a complete ring has been cut through the porcelain to the metal underneath.

Place the finish hole saw into the drill chuck. Make sure the pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert the pilot guide into the pilot hole. Begin cut using a slow speed and light pressure until the metal has been penetrated.

Optional Ice Maker Hook-Up

If your refrigerator is less than 25 feet to your R.O. unit,

1/4” polypropylene plastic tubing is recommended. If your refrigerator is greater than 25 feet from your R.O. unit,

3/8” tubing is recommended. Do not use copper tubing

as an objectionable ice cube taste can result.

To begin, install a tee in the blue tubing between the final filter and the faucet. Next, it is recommended to install a ball valve in the line to the ice maker. This will allow storage tank pressure to increase sufficiently for the ice maker solenoid to operate properly. Leave the ball valve in the closed position until the tank is full after start up procedure is completed, open ball valve.

Activation, Care, & Troubleshooting

Activating the System For the First Time

Make sure all water supply/drain lines are secure and free from leakage. Slowly turn the saddle valve counterclockwise until fully open. Check stem seal for leakage. If necessary tighten stem nut lightly. Turn storage tank valve one quarter turn counterclockwise to open the valve (the handle should be in line with the tubing as it enters the connection). Open the product water faucet and let the water flow until all the air has been expelled from the system. This will take about an hour. Close the product water faucet. In 30 minutes, check the connections for leaks and correct if necessary.

Replacement Filter Procedures

Before starting the filter replacement shut off cold water supply, drain the storage tank by turning on the RO faucet, and shut off the storage tank ball valve. Once you have completed the preparation, first begin by twisting the housings counter clockwise with a filter wrench and remove the old filters. Then wash out the inside of the housing with mild soap and a few drops of household bleach and rinse out thoroughly. Finally, lube the O-ring on the filter housing, insert the new filters, and screw on the housing in a clockwise direction.

System Sanitization

It is recommended to sanitize your system once per year when you are changing the filters. Start by shutting off the cold water supply and draining the storage tank by turning on the RO faucet. Once this is completed remove the filters and membrane and put 1/2 teaspoon of household bleach in the sediment filter housing. Then run water through the system until water begins pouring out the RO faucet. Close the faucet, allow the bleach to remain in the system for three minutes, and then slowly drain the water from the system for five minutes. Finally, reinstall the filters and membrane.
