Faucet
The reverse osmosis faucet is a designer brushed nickel high flow 3/8” design goose neck with ceramic
disc valve.
Holding Tank
The reverse osmosis holding tank is 3.2-gallons plastic designed for the storage and repressurization of
reverse osmosis pure drinking water with valve.
Drain Restrictor
The restrictor is vital for proper operation of the RO membrane cartridge as it keeps water flowing
through the membrane at the proper rate ensuring the water produced is the best quality. It is
recommended the restrictor assembly be periodically inspected to be sure it is clean and unrestricted.

INSTALLATION
Tools Required
Site Selection for Major Components
The Reverse Osmosis System was designed to fit under a sink, however, because of space limitations or
other reasons, the Reverse Osmosis system's flexible design allows for other locations. When
determining the location of your Reverse Osmosis system remember that access to a cold water tap line,
the household drain, and ease of Reverse Osmosis filter replacement are important considerations.
All Reverse Osmosis components and tubing should be located in an area not exposed to freezing
temperatures. If winter temperatures are severe, the area should be above the minimum temperature
for proper performance. Do not expose Reverse Osmosis system or tubing to direct sunlight.
