FEED WATER
The water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system must
have the qualities listed in the specifications. Municipal
water supplies most often will have these qualities.
Well water may need conditioning; have the water
tested by a water analysis laboratory and get their
recommendations for treatment.
IMPORTANT:
For water with a hardness greater
than 10 grains (at 6.9 pH) the use of a softener is
recommended. Failure to install a softener will reduce
the life of the Reverse Osmosis cartridge.
REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) FAUCET
The RO product water faucet installs on the sink or on
the countertop next to the sink. It may be installed in an
existing sink spray attachment hole, or a hole may be
drilled. Space is required underneath for tubing to and
from the faucet, and for securing the faucet in place. All
three faucet tubes are supplied already connected at
one end to the faucet.
RO DRAIN CONNECTION
A suitable drain point and air gap (check your state
and/or local codes) are needed for reject water from
the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge.
