INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
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.
The Body Glove RO operator may perform the periodical water test using the Smartap
®
Water Quality Monitor.
All state, provincial and local government codes regarding installation of these devices must be observed.
PREPARATION

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.
