Installing Tank Ball Valve
The RO storage tank comes with a 3/8” shut off valve that must be installed.
1. Apply 5-6 wraps of Teflon thread sealant tape to the male thread on the RO storage tank.
2. Install the shut-off valve and tighten until the gasket is compressed.
NOTES:
While there is a gasket that seals against the shut off valve, it is recommended to still use Teflon
tape on the tank threads to insure a good seal is achieved. It is also recommended to check for
any leaks after the system has had time to produce water and pressurize inside the storage tank.
Failure to do so could result in a leak that is not spotted until after the installer has left the loca-
tion.
Installing the Membrane
When handling membranes be sure hands are clean and sanitized or wear surgical gloves.
1.
Remove the blue quick connect clip and pull the inlet tubing to the membrane cap out.
2.
Loosen and remove RO membrane cap using wrench provided.
3.
Using scissors or a knife, cut the end of the plastic wrapper from the membrane. Leave it in the wrap-
per so you do not touch the membrane directly with your fingers.
4.
Insert the membrane all the way into the housing.
5.
Check that the o-ring is in place and install the cap onto the RO membrane housing. Tighten cap
firmly by hand. Using the wrench provided tighten an addition 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
