Step 4. Selecting the System Location
1. The filter housings will need periodic maintenance - easy access must be maintained. Do
not install in a location with high humidity, direct sun or a direct source of heat. Typically, a
commercial mechanical room is ideal. Never expose the RO unit to freezing temperatures.
2. Use the threaded, rubber feet at the base of the RO stand to level the unit.
3. The unit will need to be installed in a location that has ready access to your feed water line
and a drain capable of handling the waste flow from the machine.

A Note on Fittings
Your RO system has been equipped with quality push on fittings throughout. Check that all fittings
are snug, as they may have loosened in transit.
Completing and securing a push-on connection is simple. First, the tubing should be cut square
and any burrs or rough edges removed. Insert the tube firmly and push until the tube end contacts
the stop. Gently tug the tube backwards to assure a secure connection. To disconnect, pull the
tube while pushing in the collet ring. Fittings may be reconnected over and over again, if
necessary. See figure 2. below.
