Reverse Osmosis Systems
Your new drinking water system works on a process called Reverse Osmosis, in
which water pressure is applied to a concentrated solution. Water is forced
through a semi-permeable membrane from the concentrated side to the dilute
side of the membrane.
When water is passed through the membrane, dissolved particulate materials are
left behind and are washed down the drain.
The system is designed to process potable water through three stages: (1)
prefiltration of sediment and/or chemicals to protect membrane, (2) reverse
osmosis membrane to reduce levels of TDS, and (3) post filtration to remove
special contaminants. Our unique automatic shut off valve conserves water by
shutting the system off when the storage tank reaches its optimum pressure.
The RO system will perform better and last longer with frequent usage. We
encourage you to use RO water to cook, make coffee, tea, mixed drinks, water
houseplants, for pets, etc.
Please read and become familiar with all instructions, processes, and parts
before installation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. EQUIPMENT LOCATION
Make sure that there is enough space under the counter for installation. Locate
the COLD water sh
ut off and drain pipe. Water Tec RO unit requires about 16”H
X 15”W X 6” D. The storage tank is 11” in diameter and 20” high.
Shut off the COLD water supply under the sink. Open the COLD water faucet on
the sink to relieve pressure. On single handle faucets, the hot water may have to
be turned off to prevent any hot water crossover. If the existing valve is
inoperable, or the water continues to come out of the faucet, the house main will
have to be turned off.
NOTE: Universal Plumbing Code (UPC) requires that systems with pressure
above 80 psi must have a pressure regulator installed at the water inlet to
dwelling.
2. FEED WATER CONNECTION
FEED ADAPTOR:
Install the provided feed valve adaptor
on to the angle stop. The valve provide is 3/8” compression
and has a ¼” RO feed tap with ball valve. Please see
instruction included with this valve.
