Pre-installation Check List 

 

1. 

Read through and familiarize yourself with these instructions and the installation process. This will 
ensure you have the proper tools, parts, and abilities to install the system before beginning, rather 
than having to stop halfway through because you are missing something or are unable to do 
something.  

2. 

Check local plumbing codes and follow  any that apply to your installation. Going against plumbing 
codes is illegal, and can cause problems. AFW is not responsible for any problems resulting from 
improper installation or installation that is a violation of local plumbing codes. 

3. 

Determine installation locations, including feed water supply, drain, faucet, filter system, and storage 
tank. Ensure you have room for everything, and plan room for future filter changes. 

4. 

Familiarize yourself with the quick connect fittings. Your system uses quick connect fittings. There is 
a collet ring at the end of the fitting that grips the tubing and holds it in place. To remove, simply hold 
the collet ring against the fitting and pull the tubing out. To replace tubing, just push it into the fitting, it 
will slide in easily about 1/4” then stop, apply a little more pressure and it will slip in another 1/8” or so 
and seal in place. 

5. 

Familiarize yourself with any purchased upgrade kits. If you ordered any kits to upgrade your system, 
read through the instructions on how to install it, as it is usually easier to install any upgrades before 
installing the system. 

6. 

Check to ensure there are no missing parts. Use the parts checklist on the following page to make 
sure all the parts listed are present. If anything is missing, call us and we will get replacements out as 
soon as possible. 

7. 

Assemble the tools you will need. Depending on where the system is being installed and the 
plumbing, the tools needed may vary. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, drill, wrenches, 
pliers  & Teflon tape. You will also need a sharp knife or scissors to cut the tubing (when cutting 
tubing, ensure the end is smooth and straight, this will ensure a good seal and prevent leaks). This 
list is just a start, reading through the instructions and determining where you are installing the 
system will give you a better idea of everything needed. 

8. 

Ensure the following conditions are met:  

Feed Water 
Condition 

Minimum 

Maximum 

Inlet Pressure 

40 psi 

80 psi 

Temperature 

40° F 

100° F 

pH Level 

11 

TDS Level 

0 ppm 

2000 ppm 

  For pressure less than 40psi a booster pump will be required. If pressure is less than 50psi a booster 

pump or permeate pump is recommended. If other conditions are not met contact us for a solution. 
NOTE: Failure to meet the above conditions will void the warranty on the system. 

 

Parts Checklist 

In addition to the RO system, faucet, storage tank, and UV transformer (if a UV was ordered), you 
should have the following parts (pictures and descriptions represent the most common style, actual 
style may vary): 

  

Tank Ball Valve

  -  White & blue plastic valve with female threads and quick connect fitting. 

Installed on storage tank, valve is open when handle is inline with tubing.
