Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual

1. Determine System Location (see Figures 1 and 2)
The Drinking Water Filtration System can be located under a sink or in a basement depending on space avail-
ability and preference. If a basement installation is selected, additional tubing, hardware and fi ttings may be
needed and a hole will have to be made from inside the cabinet, through the fl oor, to the basement.
Space Requirements
NOTE: Never install the fi ltration system in an area of the home
where the temperature may drop to freezing as damage to the
system will result.
The exact placement of the various components of the fi ltration
system will vary from installation to installation. The installer must
decide on where to place the faucet, tank and purifi cation assembly
by balancing convenience with ease of installation and servicing.
Considerations for an icemaker or other remote hookup should be predetermined, including plumbing rout-
ing and any additional tools, fi ttings and tubing that may be required.
Feedwater Conditions Parameter

Manganese
< 0.05 ppm (mg/L)
Hardness < 350 ppm (mg/L)
Hydrogen Sulfi de None allowable
Iron (FE) < 0.3 ppm (mg/L)
Organics < 1 ppm (mg/L)
Free Chlorine Up to 3 ppm (mg/L)
Temperature 40-100°F (4-38°C)
Turbidity < 1 NTU
TDS Up to 2,000 ppm
Min./Max. Feedwater pressure 40-100 psi (276-690 kPa)
2. Prepare the Area for Installation
Determine where components will be located and how they will be mounted. Special mounting brackets
and hardware may be necessary to secure the system to a wall or ceiling joists if a basement installation is
called for. Inspect the cold water supply line and drain to determine if any additional fi ttings are required.
NOTE: It is a good idea at this time to check the condition of the undercounter plumbing for any existing or
potential leaks.
3. Prepare the Drinking Water Filtration System for Installation
Open the shipping carton and remove components. Check that all of the installation parts are present which
include the reverse osmosis (RO) assembly, storage tank, faucet, installation hardware, and tubing located
in box under storage tank.
If an optional percent rejection monitor is used, the probes should be installed at this time. Follow the in-
structions that come with the monitor.

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to
water leakage:
• Protect from freezing . Drain fi lter when temperatures drop below
40°F (4.4°C).
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If
your water pressure exceeds 125 psi, you must install a pres-
sure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are
uncertain how to check your water pressure.
