Thank you for purchasing an Aquatic Life Reverse Osmosis Tank Add-on Kit. 

When maintained properly, this unit will provide you with years of quality filtered water.

OVERVIEW

Reverse Osmosis (RO) water is a process of removing 

contaminants from tap water using a special semipermeable 

membrane.

The process works quite slowly, so it is often desired to collect 

the water in a storage tank so that the water is available on 

demand when needed.

This Kit includes everything needed to add drinking water to 

most existing RO Filtration Units.

WARNING: 

Please read carefully before proceeding with 

installation. Your failure to follow any attached instructions and 
operating parameters may lead to the product’s failure.
