Fittings and Tubing
Hose Quick Fit Connect fittings are used
throughout the system. To ensure an
optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the
end square. An angled cut or distortion of
the tubing may not provide an efficient seal
and could cause leaks.
To install, push tubing into Quick Fit
Connector until it bottoms out (approx
5mm). Pull tube back 2 mm and the collet
will slide out with the tube, then push firmly
a second time until tube stops.
NOTE: To disconnect, push collet against
body of Quick Fit Connector, then slide tube
out of fitting.

1.
Installing Your Filter
Find a convenient location for the filter under the bench. Take into consideration ease of
maintenance [e.g. cartridge replacement & best use of cupboard space]. Attach the filter
to the cupboard wall, allowing height for changing cartridges. The system will operate
without problems laying on it’s back.
2.
Shut off the Water
Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed line you have selected for your
water supply. Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot water supply line will
permanently damage the membrane. To assure you are using the cold water line, turn
on both the hot and cold-water faucets. After the water is warm to the touch, feel the
pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.
Close the cold water shut off valve. Turn on the cold-water tap only to assure that the
line is completely shut off and drained. If there is no cold water shut off valve located
under the sink, then turn off the main water supply at the entry to the house.
