Installation Location
The RO system may be installed under a sink, in a basement, or other location depend-
ing on available space. Do not install unit where temperatures fall below freezing. Other-
wise, damage will occur. Connection to an ice maker should also be considered for opti-
mum performance.
• Storage Tank - May be placed where it is convenient within ten (10) feet of the RO
module. Under the sink or in a nearby cabinet are excellent choices. Full tanks may
weigh more than thirty pounds so a sturdy shelf is required.
• RO Module - May be mounted on either side of the sink, in a cabinet, or a heated
basement with nearby access to a potable, cold water line and a sanitary drain.
• Feed Water Connection - Accomplished with an angle stop feed water valve. This
valve will be installed in the cold water line between the sink cold water shutoff valve
and the sink faucet tubing. Connect to a potable, cold water supply line only
NOTE: Softened water is preferred since it will extend the life of your RO mem-
brane.
• Drain Connection - Accomplished using a waste water saddle valve which is designed
to fit around a standard 1-1/2" OD drain pipe. The drain saddle valve should always be
installed above (before) the trap and on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. Do not In-
stall the drain saddle valve near a garbage disposal; otherwise, plugging of the waste
water line may occur. If discharging into a utility sink or standpipe, an air gap may be
needed. (Air gaps must be 1” or greater above the floor or pipe rim).
NOTE: Plumbing codes may require the use of air gaps. Check with your local
municipality.
Do not connect the RO system drain line to the dishwasher drain line. Back pressure in
the line may cause the air gap to over flow.
