OP350 System Installation, Operation & Maintenance
7
Wall Mounting
The processor should always be mounted where it is well-
supported, either using anchors in a cement wall, or using
the support of studs in a wall-board wall.
Never mount it
directly to sheet-rock alone.
Instead, mount it on a sheet
of plywood which is anchored to the wall studs, as shown
above.
Four user-supplied bolts or screws with a head diameter
of approximately 1/2” (which will fit into the keyholes in the
system bracket, but will not slip out when tightened) should
be used to hang the system.
This will allow the unit to be lifted off the bolts, if necessary
for maintenance, without removing all the bolts from the
wall. Hold the processor in place (without the cartridges)
to mark the locations for the screws. BE SURE TO
ALLOW 3” BELOW THE CARTRIDGES TO ALLOW FOR
REMOVAL. Screw the four bolts or screws in place,
leaving approximately 1/4” clearance between the bottom
of each bolt head and the wall. Position the system over
the mounting bolts, and let the bracket slip down into the
keyholes.
Mount the Optional Post-Treatment unit to the wall
near the OP350 Processor. This unit will be plumbed-
in between the Processor and the Equipment.
Tighten all screws.
System Installation
Note: Do not install the cartridges in the processor
until completing this section. Do not plug in the
power cord from the RP pump until completing the
following section, “System Start-Up”.
Refer to “Typical Installation” diagram on page 6
and “How to Use Our Quick-Connect Fittings” on
page 18 when making the following connections.
A feed water ball valve and pressure gauge (user
supplied) should be installed to provide water to the
system FEED WATER INLET with the green tubing
(supplied). Hose, tubing and fittings for making
connections between the processor, storage tank and
drain are supplied in the installation kit.
1. Remove the tank lid. Inside the tank, the float
valve may be secured for shipping. Remove any
wrapping on the float to allow it to hang and move
freely.
2. DRAIN: Connect the 1/4” black tubing from the
installation kit to the REJECT WATER OUTLET on
the processor. Run the line to an appropriate drain.
Observe local plumbing codes and supply an
appropriate air gap. (Any fittings for connecting to
the drain will need to be supplied by the customer.)
Fix tubing in place at the drain.
3. FEED WATER: Apply 3 ‘wraps’ of Teflon tape to
the 1/2” MPT x 3/8” push-connect fitting (supplied).
Screw the fitting into the Feed Water Supply Ball
Valve and tighten (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
Connect one end of the 3/8” GREEN TUBING to
this fitting. Connect the other end of the tubing to
the FEED WATER INLET located on the left side
of the Processor. Cut the tubing to the required
length if necessary.
NOTE: When cutting the tubing use a sharp tubing
cutter or blade and make a clean, straight cut before
inserting into a push-connect fitting. When routing
tubing, do not make sharp bends or crimp the tubing.
4. PROCESSOR TO STORAGE TANK: Connect a piece
of the 3/8” blue tubing to the OPTIMIZED WATER TO
STORAGE TANK fitting on the processing unit. Connect
the other end of this tubing to the OPTIMIZED WATER
TO STORAGE TANK INLET on the storage tank INLET
DIVERT VALVE.
5. REPRESSURIZATION ASSEMBLY TO PROCESSOR:
Using two of the 1/2” hose barb inserts (supplied), a
piece of 1/2” gray hose, and two hose clamps, connect
hose from the REPRESSURIZATION ASSEMBLY
OUTLET on the Repressurization Assembly to the TANK
REPRESSURIZATION RETURN on the Processor.
The ridged end of a hose barb insert goes into each
end of the hose with a hose clamp tightened onto it.
The smooth ends of the hose barb inserts go into
