supply, The side to the red plastic nut is a Quick-
Connect see page11, the other side AFW is not a
Quick-Connect its a compression tting. Unscrew
the nut and slip it onto 1/4" tubing. Insert the tubing
into the AFW (the T), push in rmly and then screw
and tighten the nut with your hands. Use wrench for
nal 1/4 turns.
2) Locate the black plastic nut and before connecting
to the drain cut the tubing end a 45 degree angle,
then Insert the tubing all the way into the 1/4” hole
on the drain pipe. (Quick-Connect see page 11)
3) Locate the yellow plastic nut and connect to the tank
(Quick-Connect see page 11)

1) Turn off the storage tank ball valve, this will
ensure no water can enter the tank. Slowly
turn on the cold water supply valve to the
sink. If you have not already done so, open
the valve of the cold-water self-piercing valve
(turn counter clockwise to open). Check for
any leaks around the valve. If any leaks are
detected turn off cold water supply valve and
make necessary repairs.
2) Open the reverse osmosis faucet on the sink.
You will hear a gurgling noise. This is normal
air being cleared from the system. It will take
approximately 10-15 minutes before you
actually see water dripping from the reverse
osmosis faucet. (Flip the faucet handle on to
keep the faucet open during this time.) The
initial water dripping from the faucet may be
black in color; this is the water ushing carbon
nes from the carbon post lters. Allow the
water to drip from the faucet for 10-15 minutes
then close the faucet.
Starting Up the System

3) Now open the ball valve on the reverse
osmosis storage tank, which will allow the tank
to ll. This will take approximately 4-10 hours.
During this period of time check all ttings for
any leaks. If any leaks are found turn off cold-
water line and make the necessary correction.
Once the tank is full open the faucet and drain
the system completely (until you are getting
only a drip from the faucet). Shut the reverse
osmosis faucet off and allow the system to re-
ll.
4) It is recommended on new installations that
you drain the system 3 times prior to use.
5) Make a daily check for any leaks during the
rst week after installation and check for leaks
occasionally thereafter.
