Please make sure to FIRMLY push the tubing into the various fittings throughout this installation.
Now insert the needle piecing saddle clamp’s red tubing into the other side of the Manual Shut Off
valve completing the feed water line pathway to your filtration system.
5.4 Piercing the cold water line
Ensuring the needle piecing saddle clamp is firmly in place, screw down the needle of the saddle
clamp using the horizontal bar on top of the clamp.
Note: You will feel resistance when the needle is piercing the cold water line, so pay attention to the
amount of resistance experienced. This resistance will stop when you have successfully pierced the
cold water line. CAUTION: Do not screw in the needle valve to its maximum depth as you then risk
piercing the opposite side of your cold water line.
After the cold water line has been pierced, turn the horizontal bar on the top of the clamp counter
clockwise (left) until it becomes snug. This retracts the piercing needle creating a path for feed water
to flow into the red tubing – supplying your system with its feed water.
PLEASE NOTE:
Do not turn your home’s emergency cold water shut off back to its ON position yet!
5.5 Flushing of the Pre-filters
Found in your Large Parts
Bag is a coiled length of blue
tubing. Uncoil the tubing
and insert one end into
the “OUTPUT” elbow (right
side) of the three pre-filters
and place the other end of
the blue tubing into your
kitchen sink. (Fig 9)
This will allow for the water to flow through the three pre-filters and then into your kitchen sink, flush-
ing out any and all loose particulates and carbon dust thereby preventing these initial loose particu-
lates from reaching the 4th stage (Reverse Osmosis Membrane) ensuring the maximum life span of the
Reverse Osmosis Membrane.
