THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

Rev D

Figure 4  Side View and Cutaway of Tubing Fitting

Postfilter

Install the postfilter inline with the blue permeate tubing. Secure tubing 
with collet lock clips.

Drain Adapter

The drain adapter has a rubber inlet that accepts the 3/8-inch black 
drain tube or the 1/2-inch red tube. The 3/8-inch black tubing will 
connect here if the faucet is not using the air gap module.

When the tubing is in position, use the supplied hose clamps to secure 
the connection.

NOTE: Make sure the tubing 
is pushed past the O-rings 
for a secure fit. Also, when 
replacing any tubing, cut 
tubing back ~1/4 inch prior 
to re-inserting to prevent 
leaks.

NOTE:  

For optimal system performance, we recommend using 

tubing lengths that are as short as possible.

NOTE:  

When sliding tubing into the drain adapter inlet, wet the 

tubing. Water will help the tubing slide into the rubber inlet.
