Location of The System
Location of System
The Puretec Food Service RO System is design to mounted, either on a wall or within a cabinet.
The RO system can also be located in a location away from the outlet. A nearby water source
and drain point are required.
Note : Keep the lengths of tubing short. Longer lengths of tubing will decrease system
performance. A booster pump can be used on the supply line.
Note : All plumbing should be done in accordance with state and local plumbing codes.
Some codes may require installation by a licensed plumber. Check with the local plumbing
authority prior to installation.
Warning : All components and tubing should be located in an area which is not exposed to
freezing temperatures. Do not expose unit or tubing to direct sunlight.
Water Supply : To provide supply water to the RO system inlet, a feed supply fitting is required
or install pipe fittings as needed. The feed water valve should be located as close to the
manifold assembly as possible. USE A POTABLE COLD WATER SUPPLY ONLY. Softened water is
preferred as it will extend the life of the RO membrane element.
Drain Point : A suitable drain point is needed for reject water from the RO system. A floor
drain, laundry tub, standpipe, sump, etc. are all acceptable. If discharging into the utility sink or
standpipe, an air gap of greater than 1/2-inches above the flood rim must be provided. A sink
p-trap drain adapter is included to install as an optional drain point where codes permit.
Do not connect the system drain line to the dishwasher drain or near the garbage disposal. Back
pressure from these units may cause the air gap to overflow.
