Installation

Installation/Usermanual

These instructions are fairly easy to follow and can be installed in a very short amount of time. If however you prefer, you can contact your local plumber or handyman and they can install these systems for you rather quickly. 

Under Counter Installation Instructions:


This Reverse Osmosis unit is designed to operate at water pressure in the range of 40 to 85 PSI. At pressure lower than this, the quantity as well as the quality of water will be reduced. (* Better choice of a pumped RO system to have enough pressure.) At higher pressure, severe damage to the system may result. If local water pressure exceeds 85 PSI, a pressure regulator should be installed, reducing the water pressure into the system. 

*** OPERATING THE SYSTEM AT PRESSURE EXCEEDING 85 PSI VOIDS THE WARRANTY.***

PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION: 

  • This system may be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position out must be positioned to allow access for service and filter cartridge changing. At the same time, the assembly should be relatively near the spigot to maximize flow rate. 
  • The storage tank should be located where it can be removed if necessary, but does not take away needed storage space. The storage tank can be placed on its side without affecting the performance of the system. If there is insufficient room under the sink, the tank may be located in an adjacent cupboard. 
  • Should you need it additional 1/4" poly tubing can be purchased at most hardware & plumbing stores. 
  • The attractive faucet should be positioned to assure a free flow pattern into the sink. It must also be in a location that allows ready access to the mounting hardware from under the sink.

 

INSTALLATION OF SINK-TOP ATTRACTIVE FAUCET:

 1. Using a VSR drill with a carbide grinding burr, gently grind away enough porcelain or enamel to more than accommodate the drill bit (about the size of a dime). Enough surface material must be removed to expose the base metal.
2. Using the 1/4" drill bit, drill a 1/4" hole through the base metal. Operate the drill slowly and carefully, especially when the drill is about to penetrate the metal. If necessary use a drop of two of oil in the hole.
3. Repeat step 2. Using the 1/2" drill bit.4. Mount the attractive long reach faucet in the hole and using an adjustable wrench(or hand) to hold the faucet, tighten the 9/16" nut.

INSTALLATION OF WATER SUPPLY CONNECTOR: 

***MAKE SURE YOU ARE HOOKED UP TO THE COLD WATER & TURNED OFF THE WATER SUPPLY.*** 

The water supply connector that comes with the unit is made up of two parts; Water Supply Connector 1/2"MIP x 3/4"FIP(L:36m/m), Deliver-valve 1/4"MIP x 1/4"OD1/4".

1. Assemble the water supply connector by inserting the Deliver-valve. Screw the deliver-valve into the side of the water supply connector using 3 to 4 wraps of Teflon Tape. 
2. Disconnect water supply line from cold water faucet underneath sink. Attach and tighten water supply connector assembly being careful not to pinch or crimp any tubing or water line supply line while tightening. 


INSTALLATION OF DRAIN SADDLE: 

1.Position as far away from the garbage disposal as possible. 
2. The drain saddle should be installed above the p-trap on the vertical or horizontal tailpiece. 
3. Drill a 1/4" hole into the drain pipe observing the above position. 
4. Mount drain saddle aligning holes. (Drill bit may be left in saddle hole for alignment) 
5. Carefully tighten both screws on drain saddle till snug. Do not over tighten.

INSTALLATION OF STORAGE TANK: 

6. Wrap 4 to 5 winds of Teflon tape around metal tank threads. 
7. Hand tighten plastic shut-off valve to tank. (Firm but not over tight.) 
8. Tank should come from the factory with 8 to 14 lbs. PSI of air when measured empty.

MOUNTING THE PURIFICATION ASSEMBLY: 
***DETERMINE IF MOUNTING IS NESSARY THIS CAN BE OPTIONAL.*** 

9. Mark screw locations at the desired positions. Use the two holes on back of purification assembly mounting bracket for marker guides. 
10. Screw wood screws supplied with unit into marked positions. Leave screw heads out a little. 
11. Mount purification assembly onto screws. 


INSTALLATION OF MEMBRANE: 

*** ORIGINAL PACKAGE CAN PREVENT MEMBRANE DAMAGE.*** 

Open up the membrane housing. 

Install the membrane with carefully tighten. 

Membranes large rubber seal ring, should facing the housings cap side.



CONNECTING THE COLOR TUBING: 

Connect the BLACK tubing to the drain saddle using insert and cap supplied.

Connect the BLUE tubing to the attractive long reach faucet (also automatic ice-makers can be teed to this line.)

Connect the RED tubing to the storage tank.

Connect the WHITE tubing to the water supply connector.

START UP PROCEDURE: 

With everything connected turn on water to unit. 

Open attractive faucet on sink. Make sure storage tank valve is on. (valve stem facing tubing.)

Within a few minutes (up to 20) the attractive faucet will begin to drip water. 

Let the attractive faucet drip for half of hour letting water flow down drain. This flushes the granular activated carbon filter for the first time installation. 

After half of hour of dripping close faucet. 

Tank will now filled(Usually 2 to 3 hours). After tank has filled open the attractive faucet and drain all water until storage tank is empty. 

Close the attractive faucet, system is now ready for use 

*** DO NOT USE FIRST TANK OF WATER.*** 


CAUTION FOR YOUR SAFETY

Change filters regularly every 6 to 12 months and have the membrane checked annually. 

Automatic Ice Makers require water in the line to work properly. If you are draining the storage tank or have no water during initial start up turn off the ice maker until sink-top attractive faucet has a steady flow.

Clean Water should be your main issue
Nowadays, many people realize that tap water is not safe to drink. But if you talk to people and ask them about this issue, most can only give a vague explanation of the problem. They know that the water is not "safe," but they don't know exactly what toxins are in it, or where they come from. You may have the cleanest looking, purest tasting water around that comes from a pristine well 1000 feet below the ground or from some untouched mountain top stream, but that doesn't guarantee anything. Too many chemicals have been introduced over the years, especially through industry and agriculture.
The fact is that water contamination may be the worldwide number one health problem. Over 70% of our body is water, and we need clean water every day to rejuvenate our system and flush out toxins. Water is the foundation of our health, and if the foundation is poor, the entire structure is jeopardized.
