Choosing a Mounting Location

When considering a location for the installation of the 
RO System, consider the following factors:

Light Sources

1.    Most of the components of this system are plastic and 
 

 are subject to damage by ultraviolet light from the sun 

 

 and other sources such as metal halide  lighting.

2.   Algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings 
 

 when exposed to bright light.

3.   Avoid installing this unit in bright light or direct sunlight.

Temperature Extremes

1.   The unit must be kept out of areas that are subject to freezing
  

temperatures.

2.   High temperatures greater than 100° F (38° C) must be 
 

 avoided. If the unit is used outside, avoid putting the 

 

 system in direct sunlight or connecting it to a

 

 garden hose that may be exposed to sunlight.
