NOTE: Make sure the tubing is pushed past the O-rings for a  

            secure fit. Also, when replacing any tubing, cut tubing  

            back ~1/4 inch prior to re-inserting to prevent leaks.

INSTALLATION cont.

Step 3:  Make Tubing Connections

The connections to the faucet should be complete, the remaining 

connections are:

Feed connection—white 1/2” tubing from feed fitting or feed 

• 

valve to pressure gauge and then to white elbow connector
Drain connection—black 3/8” tubing from green elbow 

• 

connection will attach to the optional drain adapter or be 

directed to appropriate drain location
Purified water connection—blue 3/8” tubing blue elbow 

• 

connection to reservoir or tank via optional 3/8” float valve
Attach the fittings to the manifold

• 

A typical connection is shown in Figure 7 Side View and Cutaway of 

Tubing Fitting.

NOTE: For optimal system performance, we recommend using tubing 

lengths that are as short as possible.

Feed Pressure Gauge w/ "T" fitting

The supplied pressure gauge should be connected to the feed line to 

monitor system feed pressure. For proper system performance, the 

inlet feed pressure must be between 40 psi (2.76 bar) and 80 psi (5.52 

bar) when the system is in operation. Insert the short length of tubing 

into the white elbow connector. Then install pressure gauge w/ “T” 

fitting. Then install long length of white tubing to other end of pressure 

gauge “T” fitting.

Inline Shut-off Valve

The supplied 3/8" inline shut-off valve is designed to be installed on 

the blue pure water line. Thje system can be shut-off by using this 

valve. 

Step 4:  Install RO Assembly

The RO Assembly includes the following components: sumps (3), 

support leg, carbon pre-filter, and RO membrane elements (2). The 

tubing is attached to the manifold by the elbow connectors. When 

choosing a location for the system, allow enough tubing for it to be 

moved for periodic servicing of the pre- filter and membrane elements 

(Figure 8 RO Assembly). 

WARNING:

 Do not attempt to mount/hang the system. Do not 

try to drill mounting holes anywhere on the system.

If putting above ground/cabinet level, a sturdy, 

permanent shelf is recommended.
