5. INSTALLATION OF DRAIN SADDLE
1.
Open the package containing the drain saddle. (
See
DIAGRAM F )
2.
Peel the protective film off of the sponge gasket.
Apply gasket to inside of drain saddle, using care to
align sponge gasket hole with drain port.
3.
Position the drain saddle on the vertical or
horizontal drainpipe from your sink. Position as far
away from the garbage disposal as possible.
DANGER!!
The drain saddle MUST be installed on the side of the P-trap that goes to the sink
drain!! If installed on the wrong side of the P-trap sewer gas could enter the unit and damage it.
CAUTION!!
DO NOT INSTALL THE DRAIN LINE DOWNSTREAM OF A DISPOSER OR IN A
HORIZONTAL PIPE.
4.
Drill 1/4” (6mm) hole into the drainpipe.
CAUTION!!
Be very careful when drilling into drainpipe to not drill all the way through—stop
after piercing the first wall of the pipe.
5.
Mount the drain saddle. Align the drain saddle port with the 1/4” drilled hole using a
small drill bit or other small straight object.
6.
GENTLY TIGHTEN
the two screws evenly on both sides of the clamp until the clamp is
snug on the pipe.
CAUTION!!
To avoid breaking plastic saddle or crushing drainpipe DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

6. TANK PLACEMENT
1.
Wrap 4 to 5 wraps of Teflon tape around the tank threads at the top of the tank.
2.
Hand tighten the plastic shut off ball valve to tank stem.
CAUTION!!
Hand tighten the valve only! DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! If valve is overtightened it will
crack and will leak.
IMPORTANT!!
The tank pressure must be between 8-10 PSI when measured empty. This must
be measured with a good dial or digital pressure gauge. A pop-up tire gauge will not give you
an accurate reading. If you do not have access to a good gauge contact your local distributor
to purchase one. If your tank pressure is above 10 PSI use the tank Schrader valve to release
pressure until there is between 8-10 PSI. If your tank pressure is below 8 PSI use a bicycle pump or
compressed air to increase pressure to between 8-10 PSI.
3.
The storage tank should be located where it can be removed if necessary. The storage
tank may be placed in either the vertical or horizontal position without affecting the
system performance. If there is insufficient space under the sink for placement, the
tank may be located in an adjacent cupboard up to 50 ft. away.
