Geekpure RO-TW, Installation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 6 / 23

Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
Faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking
water is normally required. A 2" flat surface is required to mount
the faucet if an existing hole for a second faucet is not available.
The thickness of the mounting surface should not exceed 1-1/4"
Stoe vertical or horizontal tailpiece. Refer to Figure 1.
Storage tank may be placed where it is convenient, within ten feet
of the faucet. Under the sink or in a nearby cabinet are excellent
choices. If tank is located further than ten feet from the faucet, use
1/2" tubing to reduce pressure drop. Full tanks may weigh more
than thirty pounds, so a sturdy shelf is required.
RO unit may be mounted on either side of the sink, in a cabinet or
heated basement, with nearby access to a potable, cold line and a drain.

NOTE: All components and tubing should be located in an area not
exposed to freezing temperatures or direct sunlight.
Drain connection
is accomplished using a waste water saddle valve
which is designed to fit around a standard 1-1/2" OD drain pipe. The
drain saddle valve should always be installed above (before) the trap
and on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. Refer to Figure 1.
Feed water connection
is accomplished with a feed water adaptor or
self-piercing inlet saddle valve. Locate this assembly as close to the R/O
unit as possible. Connect to a potable, cold water supply line only.
NOTE: Softened water is preferred since it will extend the life of your
R/O membrane.
