Determine desired location for the faucet on your sink surface.
A.
Place a piece of masking tape or duct tape on location where the hole is to be
drilled. Mark the centre of the hole on the tape.
B.
Using a variable speed drill on the slowest speed, drill a 1/8” (3 mm) pilot
hole at the centre of the desired location.
C.
Enlarge the hole to ¼” (6 mm). Keep the drill speed on the slowest speed.
D.
Enlarge the hole to 7/16
th
to ½” (11 to 13 mm) Keep the drill speed on the
slowest speed.
E.
Pass the Escutcheon plate (chrome washer) and large black washer over the
threaded mounting tube at the base of the faucet.
F.
From top of sink, slide the threaded mounting tube through the hole drilled
in the sink. Align the faucet body.
G.
From under the sink, slide the smaller rubber washer on the threaded part of
the faucet first, then the plastic washer, locking washer and then the thin
threaded nut, Tighten with a spanner.
Holding the tube from the filter system, place the brass cup nut on first, then the nylon
olive and then insert the nylon thimble into the end of the tube as far as it will go.
Insert the tube into the base of the threaded part of the faucet, push it in firmly
(about ¼”) and slide nut up to thread and tighten firmly, do not over tighten.
Storage Tank
Place storage tank in a convenient position. Tank can be placed on its stand, either
upright or on its side.
Activating the System For the First Time
First open the Faucet, turn Feed Water Valve counter clockwise until fully open.
Check plumbing kit assembly for leakage.
Make sure all water supply/drain lines are secure and free from leakage.
Turn storage tank valve one quarter turn counter clockwise to open the valve [the
handle should be in line with the tubing as it enters the connection]
Let the water flow out the Faucet until all the air has been expelled from the system.
Water will be slightly discoloured [non-toxic carbon fines] and have some aeration.
This will take about 15 minutes.
Close the RO water faucet. In 15 minutes, check the connections for leaks and correct if
necessary.
Allow the tank to fill, this should take about 1 hour, open the faucet and drain the tank,
this process is repeated a second time. The membrane contains a food grade
preservative which prevents the membrane from bacteria in shipping and
storage, the process of draining the tank twice is only done when the system is
new or a new membrane is installed, this process expels the preservative.
