easier to change the filters and does not 
take up floor space. 
 

IMPORTANT!!

  Be very careful not to kink any 

of the tubing on the reverse osmosis system.  
If tubing is kinked, the tubing can rupture and 
leak. 

 

2. 

Position the system on the wall at the desired 
mounting location. Using the bracket holes on 
the back of the bracket, mark on the wall with 
a pencil where the screws need to be 
inserted. 

 
3. 

Set the system aside. 

 
4. 

Screw the two (2) Phillip head screws 
(supplied in the installation packet) into the 
wall at the marked positions.   

 

NOTE:

 Let the screw heads protrude from 

the wall enough to hang the reverse osmosis 
system safely. 

 
5. 

Mount the reverse osmosis system onto the 
screws. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

IMPORTANT!!

 Be very careful not to kink 

any of the tubing on the reverse osmosis 
system. If tubing is kinked the tubing can 
rupture and leak. 

 
CONNECTING THE FAUCET: 

(Blue Line)

 

 
1. 

Connect the blue tubing to the faucet by 
slipping the 1/4” brass nut over the tubing 
followed by the nylon ferrule.   

 

Note:

 It is not necessary to have a 1/4” nylon 

insert in this line as it would restrict the flow 
through the faucet. 

 
2. 

Push the blue line all the way into the faucet 
stem and tighten the brass nut. DO NOT 
OVERTIGHTEN!! 

 

CONNECTING THE FEEDWATER: 

(Red Line) 
 

1. 

If you installed the feedwater adapter using 
step # 3 or # 4 in Section # 3, simply slip a 
white 1/4” nylon nut over the red line and 
insert the 1/4” nylon insert into the end of the 
tubing. Then insert the tubing into the nylon 
fitting on the feedwater adapter. Tighten the 
nylon nut securely.  
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! 

 
2.    If you have the connection for the icemaker 

tee as in Step # 2 of Section # 3 simply slide 
the 1/4” brass nut over the red tubing. Slip 
the nylon ferrule over the red tubing and 
insert the 1/4” nylon insert into the tubing 
end. Insert tubing into the cold water shut off 
valve and tighten securely.  
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! 

 

CONNECTING THE TANK: 

(White Line) 
 
1. 

Push in the white tubing and insert it into the 
1/4” push pull fitting. Then insert the tubing 
into the ball valve on the top of the storage 
tank. Tighten securely.   
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!  

 

CONNECTING THE DRAIN SADDLE LINE:   

(Black Line) 
 
1. 

Slip the 1/4” black nylon nut over the black 
tubing and insert into the drain saddle.  
Tighten securely.  DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! 

 

Note:

  It is not necessary to have a 1/4” nylon 

insert in this line as there is no pressure on 
this line. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1. 

With all connections complete, turn on the 
cold water supply to the reverse osmosis 
system. 

 

IMPORTANT!!

 The Reverse Osmosis Main 

Water Shut Off Valve (indicated by the bright 
orange tag at the side of the unit) must be 
open. This means the blue handle on the 
valve must be in line with the red tubing; not 
pointing straight up. 

 
2. 

Immediately check entire reverse osmosis 
system and tank for leaks. If you notice any
