Installation:
Good to know:
All seals during assem ly and service should only e made with generally availa le Teflon tape.
Non-threaded connections are made with quick couplings.
How to Use the Quick Couplin s
To connect a hose to a quick coupling correctly, cut it straight at right angles. After cutting the hose,
check its tip at a length of a out 2.5 cm, to make sure there are no cuts, scratches or other
damage. Then insert the end of the hose into the coupling collar until it stops, that is, until the hose is
seated inside the sealing o-ring.
To disconnect the hose from the coupling, push the collar to the coupling ody and pull out the hose.
5

Water Supply Connection Installation:
After pointing the cold water supply pipe efore the kitchen tap, turn off the raw water shut-off valve
and install the integrated connection.
Fix the flexi le hose to the quick coupling and cut it to the appropriate length.
We recommend to leave a little more hose etween the valve and the unit for later use.
Connect the other end of the hose into the first stage (transparent) filter housing.
6

Filter Tap Installation:
Determine the location for the clean water tap. Be sure to position it in a way the water stream from the
tap spout is aiming the sink.
Before installation, make sure that there are no o structions under the countertop or the edge of the
sink where you intend to drill the holes. Drill holes with a 12-14 mm it. When the holes are made,
install the filter tap with its accessories:
Put the ru er washer over the drilled hole, put the chrome washer on it, and insert the filter tap.
From the ottom, tighten the rass nut with the locking washer efore it.
To connect the hose to the tap thread under the counter, put the metal nut and the plastic round gasket
onto the hose. Put the plastic insert into the hose end and tight everything together to the tap thread.
7

Filter taps equipped with quick couplers for the hose: install the tap as descri ed on the previous page.
After screwing the tap to the kitchen counter or sink, connect the quick couplings to the tap pins, and
then connect the flexi le hoses to the quick couplings. If the quick couplings are equipped with the
locking clips, efore installing the hose, remove the locking clip, then push in the hose and lock with the
clip.
8

Drain Clamp Installation
The drain clamp should e mounted after the drain trap on the drain pipe from the sink. When the
clamp is mounted, drill a 5 mm hole in the sewer pipe through the hole for the hose.
Then push the red hose into the coupling in the clamp.
Connect the other end of the hose to the flow restrictor next to mem rane housing.
9

Stora e Tank Installation:
Clean water tank can e placed anywhere in the ca inet under the sink.
Depending on the model, the tank has a connector for the all valve located on the top or on a side. The
all valve is in the installation kit. Metal tanks threads must e sealed with Teflon Tape.
Plastic tanks are fitted with ru er gasket—no additional seal is required. Screw the tank valve on and
connect the hose. The other end of the hose insert into the tee at the car on in-line filter. The tank can
e operated vertically or horizontally.
10

Leak Detector (Optional):
The leak detection shut-off valve should e installed on the water supply line of the system.
To do this, cut the hose in the correct length and connect it to the leak detector in accordance with the
water flow direction shown on the leak detector housing.
Stick the leak detection valve with dou le-sided tape to the kitchen ca inet in the lowest possi le place
—where water can accumulate. If there is water or high humidity around the valve, it shuts off the water
supply to the filtering unit. In order to maintain correct operation of the leak detector, the am ient
humidity must e less than 70%. The detector has replacea le cartridges. Cartridge react on contact with
water, expanding and pushing a stop into the integrated pipe work, which stops the flow of water to the
filter. To reuse the valve, unscrew the screw connecting the two valve parts, replace the cartridge pad
and open (pull ack) the valve closed y the cartridge.

Filter Cartrid es Installation:
The reverse osmosis system is equipped with three pre-filter housings.
Lu ricate the O-rings on the housings with petroleum jelly or an oil efore inserting the cartridges.
This will make it easier to seal the housings watertight and to unscrew them later.
Insert the cartridges in the following order:
1. Polypropylene foam cartridge, 5-micron, model GW-PS5-10 (water supply – transparent housing)
2. Polypropylene foam cartridge, 1-micron, model GW-PS1-10.
3. Car on Cartridge, model GW-BL-10
After inserting the cartridges and tightening the housings, unplug the hose from the last housing and
flush the cartridges with water. To do this, for a while attach the red drain hose and flush the cartridges
for 3-5 minutes.
After flushing the pre-filter cartridges, ring the tu ing ack to its original setting.
Checkin Connections for Leaka es:
After performing the a ove installation steps, check the tightness of the connections, y slowly turning
on the water supply line valve to the reverse osmosis system and connecting the pump to power supply.
If the system is watertight, turn on the valve completely and leave it in this position permanently.
If you notice a water leak:
– Check if all plastic fittings (el ows, tees) are screwed in tightly and sealed with Teflon Tape
– Do not use other sealants (e.g. plum ing hemp or flax).
– Notice, that unevenly cut or partially unplugged hose can cause leakage.
Start-up:
After a out 1 hour of operation of the system, turn on the filter tap and drain all the water from the
tank. This will allow you to flush the in-line cartridges and the tank.
When the tank is filled again with clean water, the unit is ready for regular operation.
The time needed for the tank to e filled up can e up to 1 hour.
Waste water draining during tank filling indicates correct operation of the unit.
The pressure ooster pump turns off automatically when the tank is filled with clean water.
System Operation Test:
1. Turn off the tank valve. Don't take water through the filter tap.
2. After 2-3 minutes or so the pump should switch off itself.
3. If in dou t, please contact Glo al Water Technical Support.
Your reverse osmosis system is ready to o!
