STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
Check the following list of components to ensure that
all parts are packed with your system. Note, installation
requirements will vary from vessel to vessel. Often we
find the location for the installation is under the galley
sink, nevertheless, many systems are installed in re-
mote locations such as the engine room, at which point
added materials may be required. Your distributor will
be able to supply additional fittings, tanks and longer
tubing runs if your installation were to require those.
1– Water Storage Tank (Remote Tanks boxed
separately if required for your installation)
1– Reverse Osmosis Purification assembly
1– Box with Pre & Post Filters plus Membrane element
1– Installation Kit with assorted fittings and tubing
(5ft)
Determine the location for the installation of the RO
system. Avoid locations where the system might come
in contact with hot surfaces such as engines, exhaust,
hot water pipes, electrical panels and other hazards.
Determine the location for the pure water faucet. Check
to see that drilling a hole in a galley counter or sink
will not damage pipes or wires running under the sink.
If a second faucet is being installed in a remote sink or
entertainment bar area, and there is no cabinet under
sink, verify that there is a removable access panel.
Determine location(s) of storage tank(s). A maximum
of 15 feet is possible for close installations from tank to
faucet(s). If added faucets are being used, you will need
to add additional storage tanks at those locations.
All tubing is individually labeled and color coded for ease of your installation.
1/4” Red – Connects the feed water line valve to the RO Pre-Filter
3/8” Blue – Connects the RO Membrane Product Port to the Storage Tank(s)*
1/4” Red – Connects the Membrane Reject Port to the Drain Connector**
3/8” White – Connects the Post Filter to the Faucet***
*
For Remote Tanks to Bridge or Wet Bars, order special FDA approved tubing from our Distributor
**
On certain installations, depending on water source and tank size, reject may be returned to fresh tank ,
to an existing drain or to a thru the hull fitting.
***
On Remote Tank installs, a 3/8” Quick Connect “T” can be located on blue line (3/8”) interconnecting the
tanks. Kit includes an in-line shut off. An Optional in-line polishing filter at the remote faucet connection
is available to pick up any possible taste from long tubing runs.
Fittings and Tubing

fittings are used throughout the system.
To insure optimal seal, tubing should be cut with the
end perfectly square. An angled cut or distortion of the
tubing will not provide an efficient seal and may cause
leaks.
To install a tube, push it through the collet until it seats
firmly. To remove a tube, push in the collet towards
fitting, and pull out the tube.
