RO MEMBRANE PRECAUTIONS

Chlorine will destroy the TFC membrane. If you use this RO system

with a chlorinated or periodically chlorinated supply, it is ABSOLUTELY

NECESSARY to use a carbon pre-filter (included with the system). This

carbon pre-filter should be changed periodically to avoid chlorine bypass. See

warranty for disclaimers that apply to membrane.

NOTE: To make sure no chlorine is present in the water that reach the

membrane, you may want to use a chlorine test kit to check the water that

drains from the membrane.No chlorine should ever be detected.

HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS WORKS

The definition of reverse osmosis is to force water under pressure through

a semi-permeable membrane. Thereby the membrane reduces the salt and

minerals in your water supply. This will improve the taste and odor of your

water. The water molecule can pass through the membrane material but salt

and minerals are rejected and sent to the drain.

Your water supply is pre-filtered to remove the dirt and chlorine that may

foul the membrane. The RO membrane separates this pre-filtered water into

Product Water and Drain or Rejected Water. Incoming water pressure forces

product water through the membrane and into the storage tank. Dissolved

solids, salts, and other contaminants cannot pass through the membrane

and are sent to the drain as rejected water. When you draw water from your

RO faucet, product water is drawn from the storage tank and is run through

the post filter where it is polished to remove anything that may be left. This

provides you with great tasting, cleaner water for your drinking pleasure.

The storage tank can hold approximately 2.8 gallons of water at a time for

your water needs.

BASIC INSTALLATION PROCEDURE GUIDELINES

• For standard, under-sink installation on 3/8-inch steel, brass or copper cold

water supply line.

• Please read all instructions and precautions before installing and using

your new RO System.

• All local codes should be followed. Should the products we supply with the

unit not meet local codes, consult local plumbing supply house for correct

fittings to connect the system.

Installing the Water Supply Adapter

Directions

1. First shut off the cold water angle stop supply valve stopping the flow of

water. Should there not be a shut-off valve on this supply line, you should

install one.

2. Turn on cold water faucet and allow the water to drain from line.

3. Remove the supply line that runs up to the faucet. Install the brass swivel

adapter (supplied with the unit).

4. Install the brass compression nut, insert, ferrule, and plastic shut-off ball

valve (Illustration #1), supplied with the unit. After this is complete, turn the

water back on at the angle stop and check for leaks.

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

Selecting the Faucet Location

The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience

and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet

base to rest securely. The faucet fits through a 3⁄4-inch hole. Most sinks

have pre-drilled 1 1⁄2-inch or 1 3⁄8-inch diameter holes designed for spray

hoses. The drinking water faucet may be installed using one of these holes,

despite their larger size. If these pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are in an

inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a 3⁄4-inch hole in the sink or

through countertop next to the sink for the faucet. Non Air-Gap faucets are

available when required and they would only require a 1/2-inch hole.

CAUTION

• This procedure may generate dusts which can cause severe irritation if

inhaled or come in contact with the eyes. The use of safety glasses and

safety mask for this procedure is recommended.

• Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain or porcelain-coated sink. For

applications on these types of sinks we recommend using the sprayer hole

or mounting the faucet through the countertop.

• When drilling through a countertop make sure the area below the drilled

area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that you have ample room to

make the proper connections to the bottom of the faucet.

• Do not drill through a countertop that is more than 1 inch thick.

• Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or similar countertop.

Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for advice or assistance.

(SEE ILLUSTRATION #2 (next page)

The following instructions apply to stainless steel sinks ONLY.

1. Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent shavings, parts or tools from

falling down the drain.

2. Place masking or duct tape over the area to be drilled to help prevent

scratches if drill bit slips.

3. Mark point with center punch. Use a 1/4-inch drill bit to drill a pilot hole

through sink.

4. Use a 11⁄4-inch hole saw to enlarge hole. Smooth rough edges with a file.

Mounting the Faucet

1. Loosen stem-nut on faucet, remove metal slotted disc (if attached).

2. Attach large diameter 3/8-inch drain tube to barb fitting at the faucet base.

This tube should be long enough to reach the drain clamp. This is a gravity

drain and should free flow to drain saddle.

3. Attach small diameter 1/4-inch drain tube to other barb fitting at faucet

base. This tube should be the black 1/4-inch drain line from the RO

Assembly Drain.

4. Slide faucet plate and black rubber washer onto faucet by threading both

drain tubes through the holes on the plate and washer.

5. Slide white extension onto long threaded section of faucet. Open end of

extension should come in contact with base of faucet.

6. Apply 3-5 wraps of plumber tape to faucet stem. Screw quick connector

onto end of threads.

7. Wet end of 3/8" tube. Push into bottom of connector. Tug gently to be sure

connection is complete.

NOTE: To remove the tube, push on the fittings' collar and pull the tube out.

8. Holding the faucet, feed the three tubes through the hole in the sink.

Position the faucet handle at a desired location

9. Center the faucet and slip slotted disc between the white extension and the

bottom of the counter or sink. Tighten the stem nut with a wrench until it is

tight.

10.

Firmly insert goose-neck spout into faucet base
