READ THIS FIRST

Please pay attention to the following installation and safety recommendations:

• Read the installation manual before installing this system.

NOTE!

 

Please make sure your installation location has enough room for the Elite RO and Water Storage Tank

Incoming Water

Incoming water pressure must be between 40 PSI and 80 PSI. If your water pressure is under 40 PSI you will need a 

booster pump for your system. If your water pressure is above 80 PSI you will need a pressure regulator for your system. 

Test your water pressure occasionally to make sure the system is performing. If your water is microbiologically unsafe or 

of unknown quality do not use this system without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Extremely hot or 

cold incoming water will damage the system and cannot be used. 

Leaks

The Leak Stop Valve must be installed beside the system. Inspect all connections after the installation to make sure 

no leaks occur, wait until after the system is pressurized (turned on) to inspect again. Check system occasionally after 

installation  or  maintenance  to  make  sure  no  leaks  have  developed.  Install  the  system  in  a  location  with  adequate 

drainage.

General

This Elite RO unit is for climate controlled indoor use only. Exposure to overly high or low temperature ranges will 

damage the unit. Follow all of your state and local laws and codes regarding plumbing even if they differ from what is 

stated in this manual. If your state law requires it or you prefer to we recommend using a professional licensed installer 

or plumber who meets the requirements of this system. All O-Rings, fittings, filter canisters, and teflon tape wear out 

after a certain period of time. The lifetime of your components are subject to change with the quality of the water 

supplied. Do not handle an unwrapped filter directly with your bare hands as this can cause early filter failure. Use 

appropriate eye and face protection when performing any drilling.
