PRE-FILTER HOUSING 

 

Mount the pre-filter in a serviceable location and connect the bottom port of the cleaning / storage valve 
with the 5/8” reinforced vinyl hose to the bottom intake hose fitting of the high-pressure pump.  Secure 
the hose with hose clamps. 
If the optional 3/4" nylon tee with flush/storage valve is supplied, connect the 3/4" hose fitting on the 
nylon tee to the bottom intake fitting of the high pressure pump.  
 

INSTALL ALL PLUMBING TO ELIMINATE ANY AIR POCKETS IN THE SYSTEM  

 
CAUTION: USE A MAXIMUM OF THREE WRAPS OF TEFLON TAPE ON ALL THREADS 
TO PREVENT LEAKAGE, IF YOU HAVE TO RE-SEAL FITTINGS.  ALWAYS KEEP THE 
TAPE BACK FROM THE END OF THE FITTINGS (AT LEAST TWO THREADS).  DO NOT 
ALLOW ANY TAPE TO ENTER THE SYSTEM. 

 

 

HIGH PRESSURE HOSE 

 

The high pressure hose has factory mounted high pressure couplings on each end (also included are two 
field attachable fittings).  This hose comes in a 20foot length, so it may be cut to suit your needs.   
Leave a little extra length of hose.  

Never bend the high pressure hose tighter than a 4”/10cm radius. 
 
Assembly instructions for the 316 stainless steel field attachable high-pressure couplings: 
 

1)  Cut the hose in a clean 90

°

 angle cut (preferably with a cutting disc).  

2)  Remove nipple from coupling. 
3)  Apply dishwashing liquid diluted at 1:1 with water on to the outer hose. 

Rotate the high pressure fitting anti clock wise on to the hose. 

4)  Apply dishwashing liquid on to the nipple of the high-pressure coupling and the inside of the 

hose. 

5)  Counter  the  high  pressure  coupling  with  the  supplied  hexagonal  fitting  and  screw  the  nipple 

into the hose. 

 

Run one of the high-pressure hoses from the output of the HP pump (O ring sealed fitting) to the O ring 
sealed fitting at the end of the membrane that is marked IN. 

 

Run the second high-pressure hose from the outlet of the RO membrane housing to the pressure control 
valve in the control panel.  Do not over tighten the high pressure fittings.  They are O-ring sealed and 
need little torque to lock only.
