Read through the entire manual before beginning your

installation.
There are seven steps to installing your Reverse

Osmosis Water Filtration System. They are as follows:

      STEP A

- Install Cold Water Supply Fitting

      STEP B 

- Install Drain Adaptor

      STEP C

- Install Storage Tank

      

STEP D

- Install Reverse Osmosis Faucet

      

STEP E

- Connect Tubing

      STEP F

- Sanitize, Pressure Test & Purge System

These steps are explained in detail over the next few

pages. Follow all steps. Reading this manual will also

help you receive and use all the benefits your Reverse

Osmosis Water Filtration System can give you.

PREPARE SITE FOR INSTALLATION

1

. Before starting, close the hot and cold water shutoff

valves (See Figure 6). 

2

. Temporarily place tank and filter assembly into

planned location. Check position of items and space

required for proper installation. Ensure tubes may

be routed without kinking.

3

. Remove tank and filter from planned location and

set aside. 

NOTE: You must check and comply with all local

plumbing codes.
NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require

installation by a licensed plumber and do not per-

mit the use of saddle valves. 
If you live in the state of Massachusetts, review

plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of

Massachusetts before proceeding with the installa-

tion.
NOTE: For best system performance, the feed

water to the system should be softened or have

hardness less than 10 grains per gallon, with no

iron.
