INSTALLATION
LOCATION: Though most often thought of as an under the kitchen sink counter
device, locating the system in a basement or garage may also be convenient,
depending on your circumstances.
PLACEMENT: The unit should not be further than 10 feet from a drain. Hang the
main unit on a wall or cabinet side wall using the holes in the back of the bracket.
Leave at least 3” clearance below the unit so that filter cartridges can be easily
replaced. A tank base has been provided to permit mounting the tank either
vertically or horizontally in the cradle portion of the base.
INSTALLATION:
1. View the TYPICAL INSTALLATION DIAGRAM and locate and identify all
components.
2. Mount the main unit to a wall or cabinet side wall.
3. Turn OFF the water supply.
4. On the COLD-WATER fitting to the sink, disconnect the flex line from the
stand pipe. For traditional piping, an Angle Stop Valve has been supplied.
5. Using Teflon tape, thread the female portion of the Angle Stop Valve on
to the pipe and re-connect the flex lines to the male threads. If your
plumbing is different, connect to the COLD-WATER line with a Saddle
Valve or another Valve that is applicable.
6. Place the Drain Saddle Valve on the sink drain assembly above the water
level in the P trap. Once secure, carefully drill through the hole in the tube
connecter to pierce the drain tube. Us a 1/8” dia. drill bit.
7. The Storage Tank is already pressurized, however, if it loses pressure use
a tire pump to put 7 psi of air pressure in the Storage Tank while empty.
The Storage Tank must be emptied of water for an accurate reading.
8. Mount the Faucet assembly.
9. Connect the BLUE 1/4" tubing from the unit to the Faucet.
10. Connect the BLACK 1/4" tubing from the unit to the Drain Saddle.
11. Connect the ORANGE 1/4" tubing from the unit to the Feed Water
Adapter.
12. Connect the GREEN 1/4" tubing from the unit to the Storage Tank.
INSTALLATION
START-UP:
1. CLOSE the Tank Valve and OPEN the Angle Stop Valve. If any leaks are noted,
CLOSE the Angle Stop Valve and correct before proceeding.
2. OPEN the Faucet water will slowly begin to drip out of the Faucet. This will flush
out the system.
NEW FILTER FLUSH NOTICE: In the normal production of these filter
elements, different materials are used to ensure optimal shelf life. As with any
new drinking water filtration product, we recommend a thorough 24-hour
flush of the system before product water is consumed in order to ensure
optimal taste and water quality. Failure to perform this procedure may extend
the system break-in period.
3. Check system for leaks; tighten when necessary.
4. If possible, use a flashlight to view down the drain to make sure the system is
producing waste (brine) water. You should hear the sound of water going down the
drain pipe as well as a “clicking” sound from the Permeate Pump.
5. Once the filters have been flushed, CLOSE the Faucet and OPEN the Tank Valve.
6. The Water Storage Tank will fill and the Permeate Pump will automatically shut off
in about 1-2 hours, depending on the incoming water pressure.
7. Open the Faucet and drain the Water Storage Tank.
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER FROM THE SYSTEM YET.
8. Water flow will change to dripping depending on your water pressure. Upon
complete discharge of the Water Storage Tank, turn handle to CLOSED position on
the Faucet and let the refilling process begin.
***REPEAT STEPS 6 & 7 A TOTAL OF TWO TIMES***
9. After the third tank is filled, you may drink the water.
WATER QUALITY CHECK: Your system includes a handheld TDS (total
dissolved solids) meter to monitor and maintain the water quality. After the
break in period, average TDS readings should be 20-60 ppm. Ranges vary
because the chemistry varies with different water sources.
CHECK FOR LEAKS DAILY DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF USE AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER.
MAINTENANCE
• Every month or so, it is recommended to flush the High Efficiency Reverse
Osmosis Membrane in order to maintain system performance.
1. CLOSE the Tank Valve (perpendicular with GREEN 1/4" tube).
2. OPEN the Faucet to relieve system pressure.
3. OPEN the Flush Valve (in-line with BLACK 1/4” tube).
4. Unrestricted brine (waste) water will now flow from the High Efficiency
Reverse Osmosis Membrane through the BLACK 1/4” tube bypassing
the Flow Restrictor and down the drain. This helps flush deposits and
significantly increases the usable life of the Reverse Osmosis
Membrane.
5. After 2 to 3 minutes CLOSE the Flush Valve (perpendicular with
BLACK 1/4” tube).
6. CLOSE Faucet and OPEN Tank Valve (in-line with GREEN 1/4" tube) in
order to return the system to normal operating mode.
WATER QUALITY CHECK: Your system includes a handheld TDS (total
dissolved solids) meter to monitor and maintain the water quality. After the
break in period, average TDS readings should be 20-60 ppm. Ranges vary
because the chemistry varies with different water sources.
SANITIZATION: Keep the Faucet area clean and occasionally wipe with a
sanitizing solution such as food grade hydrogen peroxide in order to prevent
contamination which can find its way to the Water Storage Tank.

NOTE: Most customers prefer to replace filters pro-actively in order to maintain PristineHydroTM
water quality standards rather than wait for complete filter component degradation. Average
Service Life is based on “normal” usage and average feed water quality. Actual filter life will vary
with frequency of use, total volume produced, and most importantly, source water quality. If
you are a heavy user or your water supply is of below average quality, you may need to replace
filters more frequently. We highly recommend periodically checking your system’s output water
TDS and replacing filters regularly in order to maintain high system performance.
FILTER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
NOTE: While performing filter changes it is recommended to have a towel handy to dry up any residual
water that may leak out from the system.
SYSTEM PREPARATION (pre-service check)
1. Turn OFF Storage Tank Valve.
2. Turn OFF Angle Stop Valve.
3. OPEN Faucet to relieve pressure.
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
1. Using the supplied Filter Housing Wrench remove the filter housing.
2. Discard old cartridge.
3. Install new cartridge in system taking note of the direction of flow.
INLINE FILTER REPLACMENT
1. Remove tubing from the filter you wish to replace by first removing the optional red locking clip
(if applicable). Then push in the collet on the quick connect fitting while simultaneously pulling on
the tubing.
2. Replace the filter with the new unit taking note of the direction of flow.
3. Fully insert tubing back into fitting until it hits the internal stop.
4. Replace (optional) locking clip by sliding it in between collet and fitting. Make sure it is fully seated.
5. Give the tube a gentle tug to ensure proper connection.
MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT
1. Identify and remove the membrane housing from the filter bracket for easier service.
2. Follow the above method for removing the tubing.
3. Unthread the cap from the membrane housing. If overtightened, use a strap wrench for extra
leverage.
4. Remove membrane using a pair of pliers.
5. Clean membrane housing with a brush.
6. When installing the new membrane be sure to push the membrane into the housing as far as it
will go.
SYSTEM FLUSH (post-service check)
1. Turn ON Angle Stop Valve.
2. If any leaks are noted, turn OFF water source and correct before proceeding.
3. Water will slowly begin to drip out of the system Faucet. This will flush out the dust, debris, air
and odor from the system.
24-HOUR FLUSH NOTICE: In the normal production of these filter elements the use of different
materials are used to ensure optimal shelf life. As with any drinking water filtration product, we
recommend a thorough 24-hour flush of these elements to ensure optimal taste and water quality.
Failure to perform this procedure may extend the break in period.
