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.

installation. Ensure tubes may be routed without kinking.

3. Remove the filter from planned location and set aside.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION
