System Operation
During operation, the 5 Stage Drinking Water RO system will produce up to 75 gallons of purified RO water per day or approximately three gallons
per hour.
• Hot water should never be used
with the RO system as it can damage the RO membrane and may also contain additional contaminants. For
this reason, only water from the
cold
water supply should be used.
• For optimal results, water pressure should be at least 50 psi entering the membrane. If operating pressure is under 50 psi, a reduction in water
production and a lower rejection rate may be experienced. If water pressure is approaching 35 psi, consider adding a booster pump to increase
performance.
• A ratio of 4:1 waste water to purified RO water is normal. The waste water from the black line contains the dissolved solids from the source
water and should not be used in your aquarium.
Set-up & Maintenance:
2
Choose your connector/adapter from the below options, and install.
1
Turn the water supply to the connection point off.
Drain saddle clamps are installed on standard PVC 1½” OD drain pipe, above the trap and as close to the sink
drain as possible. Do not install the clamp close to disposal outlets or clogging may occur.
For this installation you will need a magic marker, adjustable wrench and a drill with a 3/8” drill bit.
1. Separate the drain clamp and use the clamp half with the push connect fitting as a guide to find a suitable
location for the clamp. The location should be at least a few inches above the trap and as close to the sink
drain as possible. Place a mark where the hole will be drilled.
2. At this mark, drill a 3/8” hole through
one
side of the pipe and clear away burrs.
3. Peel the backing from the gasket in the parts bag. Position the gasket centered around the freshly drilled hole.
4. Position both halves of clamp on the pipe. Be sure to line up the drain clamp hole with the hole in the pipe. Secure with included bolts and nuts.

Optional
- Install Drain Saddle Clamp
Installing the inline ball valve is optional. The ball valve is commonly used to turn the RO/DI system on and off. To install the ball valve:
1. Cut the
red
water supply line in an easily accessible location. Be sure that the cut ends are clean, even and smooth.
2. Firmly push the ends of the hose into the ball valve.
