INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, on the purchase of your new Body Glove Advanced Rev erse Osmosis Water Fi lter Sy stem. With proper care and
regular maintenance, your new system will provide many years of service, delivering great tasting water.
Please take a few moments to review the contents of the Body Glove Reverse Osmosis System and this manual before
proceeding with the installation and use of the system. Some important items to review are:
o Check all components for any damage caused in shipment. Also, take a quick inventory of all items supplied to ensure
none are missing. A checklist in the next section will assist you with identifying these items.
o Ensure that the reverse osmosis system and storage tank will easily fit into th e desi red l ocatio n. Thi s reve rse osmosi s
system and tank needs to be accessed for regular maintenance, good accessibil ity is a n impor tant t ip to keep in mind.
o Read all CAUTIONS and NOTES contained within this manual. They provide valuable installation tips and advice on
how to properly install and maintain your Body Glove Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System.
The water produced by the reverse osmosis (RO) process can be used for many purposes around the home and office.
o Drinking Water - keep a container of RO water in the fridge to enjoy the clean, fresh taste of purified water.
Alternatively, take it directly from the faucet dispenser.
o Ice Cubes - use RO water to fill ice cube trays. Ice cubes made from RO water are typically clearer and better
tasting than ice made from non-filtered tap water.
o Automatic Ice Makers - a water line from the RO system can be plumbed to refrigerators with automatic
icemakers. Additional accessories required to complete this connection are not included. Please consult the
refrigerator manufacturer’s owner’s manual for this type of installation.
o Kettles and Coffee Makers - tap water eventually causes films and scale in these devices that is difficult to clean
without the use of special cleansers. RO water is very low in dissolved minerals content, greatly reducing the
tendency of scale buildup.
o Cooking - use RO water for food preparation and any recipe that calls for water.
o Washing Fresh Fruit & Vegetables - prevent tap water minerals from being deposited onto food to maintain
freshness and to prevent off-tastes.
o Family Pets – Allow your pets to enjoy the same great tasting water you do.
o Irons & Steamers - prevent mineral buildup in household and office appliances that use water and eventually
build up with scale when using non-filtered tap water.
Now you can enjoy all the benefits of great tasting water supplied by your Body Glove reverse osmosis drinking water system.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The Body Glove Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water System has been designed for ease of installation and
serviceability and is constructed with the finest materials available. Using these instructions and paying close attention to
the parameters outlined within "CONDITIONS FOR USE" detailed on Page II will ensure a successful installation.
The Body Glove System must be installed in accordance with applicable city, state, provincial and local plumbing
codes. To ensure the system continues to operate at its optimum level, it is necessary to use a routine maintenance and
replacement schedule (See table 4 below). The frequency at which filters must be changed will depend on the quality of
feed water supply and the level of system usage.
The Body Glove RO system contains replaceable filter components critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis filter components should be with one of identical specification, as defined by Water,
Inc. to assure the same efficiency. Product water shall be tested periodically to verify the system is performing properly.
All state , provincial and local government codes regarding installation of these devices must be observed.
PREPARATION
1. Check that all appropriate components are packed
with your system (Figures 1.A. and 1.B., pgs. III & IV).
2. Determine location for RO component installation.
Two requirements for consideration are: access to
cold water supply line and household sink drainpipe.
Specific requirements are detailed in Table 3.
Faucet may be installed in any convenient location.

SMARTAP® WATER QUALITY MONITOR
The Body Glove Reverse Osmosis System incorporates a proven performance indicator. Our patented Smartap® Water Quality
Monitor uses dual probe LOGIC PULSE MEMORY technology to accurately indicate mem brane perf orm ance. A s plit-second
power pulse compares the feed water Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level with that of the product water. Then, by reversing the
polarity of the electronic pulse, the probes are cleaned and kept f ree of c hem ical plating. A nine-volt alk aline battery provides
power to the Monitor. For optimum monitor performance, the battery should be replaced each time system is sanitized (or once a
year).
NOTE: Monitor Troubleshooting Indicators and Common Solutions are shown in Table 5 on pag e 12 of the Owner's Guide..
Push Button Ac tuated Smartap
Pressing a test button located on the Body Glove RO cover activates monitor. When the button is pressed, and momentarily
held down, the monitor reports the membrane status by illuminating a light located next to test button. A green light means the
system is operating normally. A yellow light indicates the system needs servicing (membrane may be depleted or fouled).
While the button may be pressed at any time, the most accurate readings are obtained when the system is making water for
at least 10 minutes.
Connections between cold water supply line, Body Glove RO Module, storage tank, product water faucet and drain line are
accomplished using plastic tubing and push-together quick-connect type fittings.
PLASTIC TUBING
INTER-COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
®
QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS
1. Cut tube ends square and straight. Do not deform
tube (i.e., cause tube to compress its diameter so it
is no longer round).
2. Make sure outer surface of tube is clear of marks or
scratches for a length equal to twice tube diameter.
This allows "O" ring to seat properly against tube.
3. Avoid sharp changes in direction when routing
tubing. Sharp turns cause tubing to flex and deform,
which reduces flow capacity and may increase
lateral stress on the fittings, causing leakage.
A. Push tube through Collet into Body. B. Tube must seat firmly at bottom of
fitting.
Figure 2: How to Use Quick-Connect Fittings
Fittings consist of two parts: a Body and a colored collet
and symbol. Collet color and symbol corresponds to
tubing to be used at that connection (Figure 2.A. below).
1. To install a tube, push it through Collet until it seats
firmly at bottom of fitting (Figure 2.A and 2.B.).
2. To remove a tube, push and hold Collet against
Body while pulling tube out (Figure 2.C.).
C. Push Collet against Body and pull
tube to release.

drill chuck. Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly.
Insert pilot guide into pilot hole. Push down gently on
drill motor to apply light pressure to porcelain surface.
Start drill motor turning as slowly as possible.
After 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. Be sure a complete ring has
been cut through porcelain to material underneath.
3. Place finish hole saw (Figure 6.C.) into drill chuck.
Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert pilot
guide into pilot hole. Begin cut using a slow speed
and light pressure until porcelain (inside ring cut in
