Source & Drain Saddle Valve
Shut Off the Water
Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed line you choose to use for the supply.
Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot supply line will permanently damage the
membrane (See conditions for operation). To assure you are using the cold water line, turn
on both the hot and cold faucet. After the water is warm to the touch, fell the pipes under the
sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.
Close the cold water valve. Turn on the cold water faucet only to assure that the line is
completely shut off and the line is drained. If no shut off valve is located under the sink, turn
off the main supply at the entry to the house.
Installing Supply Feed
½’’ Copper pipe installation with saddle valve
(self-piercing)
Please see attached sheet.
Note:
If your piping is any other than described
here (acorn, alkathine etc.) then you must first
buy the appropriate connections at your local
Hardware store..
Installing the Drain Clamp
Select a location for the drain hole based on the
design of the plumbing. Position the drain outlet
saddle on the drain pipe. Allow adequate space
for drilling. Tighten the bolts evenly on both
sides. Avoid over tightening.
Using the opening in the drain outlet
saddle as a guide, drill a ¼’’ hole in the
drain pipe. Clean debris from the saddle
and threads.
Installation of the membrane
(Stage 4, blue filter, plastic wrapping)
Insert the new membrane directly from its bag into the housing. Avoid touching the
membrane. If necessary use sterile latex gloves.
The end with the two o-rings goes in first. If you'll twist it slightly as you push, it will
go in easily. You must feel it slip into the groove at the end of the housing. You'll feel
it "hit bottom."
It will insert easier into the housing if you wet it with tap water to provide
lubrication. Just hold it under a running tap for a moment.
When the membrane is securely in place, replace the cap.
