Connect the Blue Tube from the Faucet to RO Module
Step 26
Step 25
Connect the Red Tube from Airgap Faucet to RO Module
The drain line fl ow control is factory installed inside of the stem elbow on the inside of the
bracket.
Insert the blue 3/8” tube from the faucet into the port on the system
marked “FAUCET”. Make sure the tube is pushed in all the way
to the tube stop.
Start up Instructions
If system is connected to an ice maker, turn the ice maker off (or do not allow water to fl ow to
the ice maker) until Step 5 “fl ushing” is complete and the tank has been allowed to completely
fi ll. Connection from the RO to the ice maker system should have an in-line valve installed
before the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent water fl owing to the ice maker
during start up and periodic maintenance. Your RO tank must be allowed to fi ll up in order
for the ice maker system to work properly. (If you are installing an ice maker kit from Watts,
tee off of the blue line between RO system and faucet).
After the Tank has fi lled, open the faucet to fl ush the tank completely to remove carbon particles
from fi nal fi lter. Repeat this step two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking.
*Note: The fl ushing of the tank 3 times is only necessary during initial installation.
This should take about a day to complete.
Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out, (it will come out
slowly).
Step 5
Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve. Open the needle valve on the brass
Adapta Valve by turning counter clockwise. Check the system for leaks and tighten any fi tting
as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
Step 4
Step 3
Step 2
Step 1
After water trickles out of the faucet, close the faucet so the tank will fi ll with water. The tank
will take 3 to 6 hours to fi ll completely depending on the production capability of the membrane,
local water temperature and pressure.
Step 27
Identify each cartridge and the proper location on the system by
matching the colors and description.
Install the Cartridges
Step 28
Insert each cartridge with a 1/4 turn in the clock wise direction. The cartridge
is installed properly when the label is facing toward the front of the unit.
