What Your Reverse Osmosis System Will Do
Your Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water System is a water treatment unit. It uses household water pressure to reverse a natural physical process called osmosis. Water, under pressure, is forced through a semi-permeable membrane where minerals and impurities are filtered out. Clean drinking water goes to the faucet or storage, while minerals and impurities are sent to the drain with RO waste water. The minerals and impurities are meas ured in water as total dissolved solids (TDS).
The system includes replaceable pre and postfilter sedi ment-carbon cartridges. The prefilter reduces sand, silt, dirt, rust particles, other sediments, and chlorine from the water supply before it can enter the RO membrane.
The postfilter reduces any tastes and/or odors that may remain in the water, after passing through the RO mem brane, and just before going to the RO faucet. To prevent water waste, an automatic shutoff valve closes when the RO faucet is closed and the storage tank is full.
Your reverse osmosis system gives you a continuous supply of sparkling clear, delicious water for drinking, cooking and other uses. Foods will look and taste better too. Having high quality RO product water at your fin gertips eliminates the need to buy bottled water. The storage tank holds over 2 gallons of RO product water for your needs.

step 1 - Install Supply Water Fitting
CHOOSE TYPE OE WATER EITTING TO INSTATE
Locate the cold water line in the sink cabinet. It is recom mended, but not required, that the cold water line be soft water. You can use the saddle valve provided with your unit to tap into the cold water line. See Fig. 5. Or you can purchase standard pipe fittings locally such as a com pression fitting. The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the Reverse Osmosis 1/4" tube.
NOTE: Local code may dictate which type of water fit ting is used. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with local codes or plumbing procedures.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation by a licensed plumber and do not permit the use of saddle valves.
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review plumb ing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts before proceeding with the installation.
INSTATE SADDLE VALVE (Included with your package)
This fitting will be installed on the cold water pipe. The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the Reverse Osmosis 1/4" tubing.
Complete the following steps to install the saddle valve assembly.
1. Review Fig. 5 and familiarize yourself with all |
parts of |
the saddle valve. This valve will self-tap a hole |
in cop |
per tubing or plastic pipe. |
|
IMPORTANT: Before starting, close the hot and cold water shutoff valves (See Pigure 5).
2. If installing on iron pipe, drill a 1/8" hole for the pierc ing pin.
IMPORTANT: If a battery-powered hand drill is not available and an electric drill is used, ensure that the drill is properly grounded.
3.Place the seal on the inside of Clamp X. See Fig. 5. Turn the valve handle all the way out.(counter-clock wise) Be sure the piercing pin does not stick out beyond the seal.
4.Place Clamp X and Z around the pipe. Secure in place with two screws. Tighten both screws evenly. Do not over tighten screws. See Fig. 5.
5.Turn the valve handle all the way in. (clockwise) This will pierce the wall of the pipe. See Fig. 5.
6. Do not connect the tubing to the fitting at this time. This will occur later in the installation.
NOTE: Once the saddle valve is installed, the nut near the handle may need to be tightened to prevent possi ble leaks.

step 2 - Install RO
INTRODUCTION
A suitable drain point is needed for the reject water from the Reverse Osmosis Filter. You have two options to choose from:
•Install the Drain Adapter included with your unit
See Figures 6, 7 & 8. This is used in under the sink installations. The drain adapter kit is installed onto your sink drain pipe above the P-trap. See Figure 6.
•Use another existing drain in your home
This is usually used in remote location type installa tions. The drain tube from the Reverse Osmosis Filter
runs directly to an open drain. See Figures 9 & 10. NOTE: Local code may dictate which type of drain installation is used. Other than local code, either drain installation types may be used. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with plumbing procedures.
INSTALL DRAIN ADAPTER KIT
(Under sink Installation)
In an under the sink installation, you normally use the P-trap drain adapter. A drain adapter kit is included in your package. Review the drain adapter kit parts in Figure 8. The drain adapter is always installed in the sink drain pipe, above or ahead of the P- trap. See Figures 6 & 8. Be sure to comply with your local plumb ing codes. The drain adapter fits 1-1/2" sink drain pipes. Other drain pipe fittings, purchased locally, may be needed in addition to the adapter.
1.Slowly disassemble the sink drain pipe between the sink P-trap and the sink tailpiece. See Figures 6 & 8.
2.Clean the sink tailpiece to assure a leak-tight fit.
3.Install drain adapter directly onto the sink tailpiece using the ferrule and nut. Snug the nut, but do not tighten. See Figure 7.
4.Assemble the drain tubing connector to the drain adapter using the ferrule and nut. Snug the nut, but do not tighten. See Figure 7.
NOTE: Locate so drain tubing from the Reverse Osmosis faucet will make a straight run to the adapter, without dips, loops, low spots or kinks. See Figure 8.
5.Turn the connector to about 45° (10:00 or 2:00 posi tion). See Figure 7. Tighten the nut securely.
6.Assemble the P-trap to the drain adapter, and other drain pipe fittings as required to complete the drain run. See Figure 6.
NOTE: If needed, you can cut the unthreaded end of the adapter to make it fit. Do not cut too short or the adapter will not make a leak-tight seal with the con necting fitting.
7.Tighten all connections, but do not over tighten plastic connections.
