NOTE

•  Tersano is not responsible for ANY damages if the Tersano unit is not installed as instructed in the steps above and/or if 

water is left on to the dispenser while not in use or being attended. 

•  Unit to be installed vertically as shown in the picture above never horizontally. Doing so will damage the unit.

•  The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used, old hose-sets should not be reused.

•  Failure to follow the above installation instructions will void the warranty.

1.  For correct installation, choose a location where both 

the dispensing box and cartridge tube will be affixed 

directly over a sink or a floor drain.

2.  Carefully remove all of the items from the cartons.
3.  Remove mounting hardware and mounting template 

from plastic packages.

4.  Affix the mounting template to the wall with tape. Drill 

the holes in the wall where indicated on the template.

5.  Insert the #12 anchors into the 4 holes drilled for the 

dispenser. Attach the dispenser to the wall using the four 

#12 - 1 ½”  wallmount screws in the top and bottom. 

Not 

to be mounted on mobile devices, hand carts, etc.

6.  Insert the #8 anchors into the two holes drilled for the 

cartridge bracket. Attach the cartridge bracket to the wall 

using the two #8 - 1 ½ “ screws.

7.  Once brackets are mounted, hang the cartridge and insert 

the blue desiccant filter into the front of the dispenser 

until it snaps into place.

8.  Facing the cartridge, attach the quick disconnect end to 

the blue color fitting on the bottom left side connection 

of the cartridge. Attach the opposite end (the white 

pressure regulator) of the hose onto the cold water supply 

(3/8” hose bibb). 

9.  Attach connector hose (with the screen filter) supplied to 

the right side outlet on the cartridge and attach opposite 

end to 

COLD WATER IN

 on the dispenser (white color 

fittings into grey). 

10.  Ensure that the water flow is at minimum 4L/minute.  

This can be checked with a simple water pressure testing 

gauge available at most hardware stores. NOTE: If greater 

than 65 PSI, a water pressure regulator will be required.

11.  Attach hose with yellow handle to 

SAO SOLUTION OUT
