Installation
All State/Provincial and local government codes regarding installation of these devices must be observed.
Verify Water Supply is Potable
The water supply must meet provincial/state and/or national standards for potable drinking water. Water samples should
be sent to a certified laboratory for analysis.
Placement of Components
Placement of the various components of the system will vary from installation to installation. The main objective is to place
the components so that they are accessible for servicing and ease of installation.
Spigot
Proper faucet placement should ensure a no-splash waterfall pattern into the sink. The spigot handle should be positioned
to either the left or right as one faces the sink.
Storage Tank
The storage tank should be placed so that it can be easily removed from under the sink.
Avoid placing the storage tank
in out-of-the-way cabinets or dead spaces
. There are two reasons for this: 1) the difficulty of installation increases
significantly and 2) when the storage tank is located further away from the faucet, the flow rate diminishes.
Module Assembly
The module assembly should be hung on a sink cabinet side-wall with the two wood screws.
Quick Connect Fittings
All connections are quick connect fittings except for the compression fitting at the inlet sadle valve, drain saddle valve and
storage tank shutoff valve.
To Prepare Tubing
•
Cut the tube squarely and remove any burrs.
•
Mark from the end of the tube the length of insertion. (1/4" O.D. - 11/16", 3/8" O.D. - 3/4")
To Insert Tubing into Fitting
•
Insert tube straight into fitting until it bottoms out on interior shoulder and insertion mark is no longer visible.
To Release Tubing
•
Push collet toward body and pull on tubing to release tube. To re-use fitting, begin assembly over again.
