Step 1
- Turn on the incoming
cold water at the angle
stop valve and the
Adapt-a-Valve. Check
the system for leaks
and tighten any fittings
as necessary. (Check
frequently over the next 24
hours to ensure no leaks
are present).
Step 2
- Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water
begins to trickle out (this may take a few minutes and
the water will come out slowly).
Step 3
- Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with
water. It may take 3 to 6 hours to fill the tank completely
depending on the production capability of the
membrane, local water temperature and water pressure.
You will know that the water tank is filled when you no
longer hear the water flow sound from the tank.
Green Tube Connection
Step 1
- Insert the open end of
the green 1/4 " tube into
the Black Collet of the
Adapt-a-Valve making
sure the tube is pushed
in all the way to the
tube stop.
Step 2
- Insert the open end of
Green tube from Adapt-a-Valve into the 1/4" quick
connect fitting located behind the Carbon block filter
head (position D) making sure the tube is pushed in
all the way to the tube stop. See Diagram Above.
Reverse Osmosis Module Mounting
Step 1
- Determine best
location for the RO
module to be mounted
to allow for future
system maintenance.
Recommended best
location is 6" away
from the cabinet side
walls, and 10" from the
bottom of the cabinet for ease of installation and filter
change. The parts bag has 2 self tapping screws.
Using an electric drill with a Phillips bit, secure the
screws to the cabinet wall at locations that align with
the hole spacing on the module bracket.
Tank Ball Valve Installation
Step 1
- Teflon
™
tape must be
applied in a clockwise
direction. Wrap (7 to 12
turns) around the male
pipe threads (MPT) on
the stainless steel fitting
on top of the tank.
Step 2
- Thread the quick
connect ball valve
(supplied in the parts
bag) onto the stainless
steel connector on the
tank.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Set the blue ball valve knob in-line with the blue tube, this is the
“open” position.
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator / ice maker,
make sure the ice maker is off (do not allow water to flow to the
ice maker) until flushing (Step 4) is complete and the tank has
been allowed to fill completely. 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 flowing to the ice
maker during start up and periodic maintenance. Your storage tank
must be allowed to fill up fully in order for the ice maker system to
work properly.

Start up Instructions
Congratulations! You have completed the
installation of your new water filtration system.
Please Follow the Startup Instructions.
ON
Step 4
- After the storage tank has filled open the RO Faucet
to flush the tank completely. You will know that the
tank is empty when the flow rate from the RO faucet
is down to a trickle. Repeat this step two more times.
The fourth tank can be used for drinking.
The flushing process should take about a day to complete.
Blue Tube Connection (From The Tank to
Shut off Valve and from Shut off Valve to the
Reverse Osmosis Module)
Step 1
- Position tank in desired location. Stand it upright
or lay it on its side (using the black plastic stand).
Measure the blue tube (marked “TANK”) from the
RO module to the tank and cut it to length leaving a
straight, square edge. Insert the tube into the quick
connect fitting on the tank ball valve. Make sure the
tube is pushed in all the way to the tube stop (see
page 6 for quick connect fitting use directions).
Step 2 - Connect the open end of the Blue tube from Shut off
Valve to the 1/4" quick
connect fitting located
behind the Reverse
Osmosis filter head
(Position C) making sure
the tube is pushed in all
the way to the tube stop.
