4) From below the sink/counter assemble plastic
bottom washer, flat washer, star washer, and hex
nut onto the threaded nipple. Hand tighten hex nut
until faucet feels snug.
5) After rechecking faucet orientation, tighten hex nut
(9/16" wrench or deep socket) until faucet feels
secure.
C. Making Initial Tubing Con nec tions
1) A proper length of orange 3/8" feed water tubing
should already have been con nect ed to feed water
valve with a brass compression nut, insert and
plastic sleeve.
2) Tighten 3/8" “John Guest” fitting onto the threaded
nipple. It may be necessary to hold faucet from
turning while tightening fitting.
3) Connect proper length of blue 3/8" tubing to faucet
fitting (See “John Guest” fitting instructions).
Route tubing through the floor to the vicinity of the
pu ri fi ca tion assembly location.
4) Route standard red 1/4" tubing from an appropriate
drain connection (e.g. laundry sink, floor drain,
stand pipe) to intended location of purification
as sem bly. An air gap must be installed between
outlet and drain connection.
D. Installing the Purification As sem bly
& Storage Tank
The purification assembly is generally mount ed to the
basement wall (using wall anchors) or to wood ceiling
supports. To mount the purification assembly, keep
brack et level and mark the location of the mount ing
holes. Install wall anchors and/or mounting screws
as required. Leave screw heads protruding to allow
bracket mounting slots to slide over them.
The tank may be oriented either vertically or horizontal-
ly and can be placed on a shelf, on the floor or
suspended with sturdy brackets to the ceiling supports.
An effort should be made to minimize the distance
between the tank and purification assembly to assure
an adequate flow rate to the faucet.
E. Making Final Tubing Con nec tions
1) Connect orange 3/8" tubing from feed water valve
to “Feed” connection on purification assembly.
2) Connect blue 3/8" tubing from faucet to the
“Faucet” connection on purification assembly.
3) Locate the yellow “plug” on the back of the pu ri-
fi ca tion assembly. Remove the yel low “plug” and
connect the yellow 3/8" tubing. Connect the other
end of the yellow 3/8" tubing to the storage tank.
4) Locate the red “plug” on the purification as sem bly.
Remove the red “plug” and connect the red 1/4"
drain tubing to the drain fitting on the pu ri fi ca tion
assembly.
SECTION VI: Operation &
Maintenance
A. Normal Operation
1) It is normal for the Total Dissolved Solids (T.D.S.) of
the water to be higher than normal during the first
5 gallons of operation, this is due to the sanitizing
solution and the new Post Filter. After this water is
rinsed to drain, the removal rate should stabilize at
a value greater than 75%. Water pressure affects
the production rate and quality.
2) R.O. systems produce drinking water at rel a tive ly
slow rates, it can take up to 8 hours or more to
fill the holding tank. Normal operation is to let the
Holding Tank fill with water and then draw water
as is needed. When the pressure in the Holding
Tank falls to a given pressure( as the water is
being used) the Automatic Shut Off Valve (A.S.O.
Valve) will start wa ter production and the system
will refill the Holding Tank. When the Holding Tank
is full and no water is being used, the A.S.O. Valve
will automatically shut off the feed water to con-
serve water.
The more water that is used (up to the capacity of the
system) the better the R.O. system will function. Utilize
other uses for the water, such as flowers, pets and
rinsing glassware.
After periods of non-use, such as a week’s va ca tion,
it is better to empty the holding tank and allow the
system to produce fresh water for use. If the system
is not used for 3-4 weeks or longer, it is a good idea
to re sanitize the system and to change the Activated
Car bon and Sed i ment Filters.
