Before you begin
This water system has been designed for quick and simple installation and maintenance. If preferred, a
local plumber can install the system for you. Please read this entire guide prior to beginning installation. If
at any time you need additional advice, please contact us by emailing: [email protected].
By carefully reading this instruction manual and following the operational guidelines you will ensure a
successful installation and reliable operation. Please keep in mind which system you have as some
sections may not apply to you.
Routine maintenance is essential to the longevity and performance of the system. Filters should be
changed every two to six months depending on the quality of the feed water supply and quantity of water
produced.
Important: this system is not designed for use where the water is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality.
Planning
Ÿ
Determine the location for the installation of the system. Avoid locations where the system might come
in contact with hot water pipes, other hazards or exposed to extreme cold. (RO membranes can be
damaged by frost.) This system may be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position and must be
positioned to allow access for servicing and filter cartridge changing.
Ÿ
Determine the location for the discharge of the waste water.
Ÿ
Determine the location of the cold water pipe. To assure you are using the cold water line, turn on both
the hot and cold tap. After the water is warm to the touch, carefully feel the pipes under the sink. It will
be easy to identify the hot and cold pipes.
