TION INSTRUCTIONS
FEED WATER
The water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system
must have the qualities listed in the specifications.
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.
IMPORTANT:
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 Reverse Osmosis cartridge.
THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
RO DRAIN CONNECTION
A suitable drain point and air gap
(check your
state and/or local codes)
are needed for reject
water from the Reverse Osmosis membrane
cartridge.
RO FAUCET
The RO product water faucet installs on the sink or
on the countertop next to the sink. It may be
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 three faucet
tubes are supplied already connected at one end
to the faucet.
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.
NOTE:
See parts list on page 25 for optional parts
that may be required for a basement installation.
