Step 27
Red Tube Connection (From FAUCET To The FLOW RESTRICTOR)
Determine where the 1/4” red tubing from the faucet and
the open end of the fl ow restrictor (attached to the end
of the 1/4” black tubing from the RO Module) would join
together comfortably. Cut the tubes to length, making
sure the cut ends are straight. Unscrew the supplied
compression nut from the open end of the fl ow restrictor
and push the nut onto the end of the red tube. Insert the
red tube (with attached nut) into the open end of the fl ow
restrictor making sure the tube is pushed in all the way to
the tube stop. Once the red tube is fully inserted, securely
tighten the compression nut onto the fl ow restrictor.
Turn on the incoming cold water. Open the Adapta-Valve installed earlier in this manual
(page 9). Check the system for leaks and tighten any fi tting as necessary. (Check over the
next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out. (it will come out
slowly and may sputter at fi rst. The water may look dark, which is carbon from the fi nal
fi lter. This is normal and will go away). Once the water begins to trickle out, close the RO
faucet.
The tank will take between 4 to 6 hours to fi ll completely (depending on the size of the
membrane, local water temperature and pressure). After the tank has fi lled, open the RO
An optional ice maker kit (not included) may be purchased from Watts Premier by calling
1-800-752-5582 or buy on-line at www.wattspremier.com. If system is connected to an ice
maker, turn the ice maker off (or do not allow water to fl ow to the ice maker) until Step 3
fl ushing is complete and the tank has been allowed to completely fi ll. Connection from the
RO to the ice maker system should have an in-line valve installed before the ice maker so it
can easily be closed to prevent water fl owing to the ice maker during start up and periodic
maintenance. Your RO tank must be allowed to fi ll up in order for the ice maker system to
work properly. (If you are installing an ice maker kit from Watts, tee off after the fi nal fi lter).
Complete the warranty registration (page 3) and submit to Watts Premier. Premier uses
this information to provide the latest information about water quality concerns as well as
a free fi lter change reminder service. Inspect the reverse osmosis system periodically to
ensure the unit is functioning properly.

step two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking. Note: The fl ushing of the
tank 3 times is only necessary during initial installation. This should take about a day to
complete.
