FEED WATER
Municipal water supplies most often will have these qualities. Well water may need conditioning
— have
the water tested by a water analysis laboratory and get their recommendations for treatment.
CAUTION:
For water with a hardness greater than 10 grains (at 6.9 pH), the use of
a softener is recommended. Failure to install a softener will reduce the life of the
filter system
.
FAUCET
The filter product water faucet installs on the sink or on the countertop next to the sink.
Often, it is installed in an existing sink spray attachment hole or a hole may be drilled.
Space is required underneath for tubing to and from the faucet, and for securing the
faucet in place. All faucet connections and installation procedures are done on or above
the sink or countertop. Refer to illustration above.
BASEMENT INSTALLATION
If installing in a basement, leave enough tubing in place during installation to be able
to move unit to floor for ease at servicing and making filter/membrane changes. Additional tubing and
fittings required
