Next repeat the process in sequence
for the third D.I Canister (Fig. 16). You
can rotate the canisters on their clips
to make room for this last one. Screw
another elbow into the left side of the
last D.I. Canister. Use the second piece
of 4 in blue tubing to connect this el-
bow with the unconnected one on the
second D.I. Canister (step 2, Fig. 16).
Then on the right side of the third D.I.
Canister, insert the last elbow from the
Small Parts Bag into the “OUTLET” side
of the third D.I Canister (step 3, Fig.
16). Remember to apply 4-7 wraps of
Teflon tape.
10.0 Installing the Final Polishing Filter
Push the two remaining canister clips (found in the Large Parts Bag) onto the R.O. Membrane housing
in preparation for the Final Polishing Filter (Fig 18). The space is limited for all three DI stages and the
Final Polishing filter, but they will all fit. The configuration that we found works best is to have the final
polishing filter mounted in front of all three DI resin Canisters.
Now push the Final Polishing Filter into the canister clips (Fig. 18). The direction of the Final Polishing
Filter is important. DO NOT HAVE THE TEXT UPSIDE DOWN. The arrow on the filter indicates the direc-
tion of water flow. Take the male “T” adaptor from the Small Parts Bag and screw it into the right side of
the Polishing Filter. Then take the straight male adaptor from the small parts bag and screw it into the
left side of the Polishing Filter. (Fig 18) Remember to apply 4-7 wraps of Teflon tape.
Take the last of the three 4 inch piece’s of blue tubing from the Small Parts Bag and insert one end of
the 4 inch blue tube to the top of the “T” adapter and the other end to the Elbow adapter on the right
side of the third D.I. Canister. (Fig. 19).

The Final Polishing Filter remineralizes
your water to ensure it has a full-bod-
ied taste. Because of this the ppm of
the water dispensed at your Aquasafe
faucet will be higher than that coming
out of the D.I. Canisters.
11.0 Prepare the R.O. Water Holding Tank
The R.O. Water Holding Tank has an air bladder and a water blad-
der inside it. The air bladder comes pre-set from the factory at 7
PSI for your convenience. CAUTION: Changes to the PSI of the
air bladder inside the R.O Water Holding tank may cause harmful
back pressure which can result in the Auto Shut-Off Valve (ASV)
malfunctioning. As such, please do not attempt to adjust the air
pressure of your R.O Water Holding tank.
Please note: For your convenience, the R.O Water Holding tank
can stand up or lay horizontal to conserve space if necessary.
Screw the tank top valve found in your Small Parts Bag onto the
threads found on top of the R.O Water Holding Tank (Fig. 20).
Remember to apply 4-7 wraps of Teflon tape to the thread of
the tank itself.
PLEASE NOTE: The long length of blue tubing used to flush your
prefilters is the tubing you will use to hook up both the water
storage tank as well as the dedicated Reverse Osmosis faucet
that came with your system.
You will need to cut this length of blue tubing in two pieces accordingly. The length of tubing used to
hook up your kitchen faucet (which will be attached to the left side of the Polishing Filter) will prob-
