IMPORTANT WARNING - PLEASE READ
System Flushing: This reverse osmosis system contains a preservative solution to prevent
microbiological growth and freezing which if ingested may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract,
colic, diarrhea or other symptoms. Therefore, approximately 5 gallons of water must be drawn from the
tap to flush out the preservative solution before using the system. This volume of water represents
approximately two days of production. The water flushed should be disposed of to the drain.
Feed Wate Quality: This reverse osmosis drinking water system is not intended to be used for the
treatment of water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality. If the feed water quality is
unsafe or unknown, have a sample of the water tested by a qualified laboratory or agency and implement
the necessary measures to ensure a safe water supply.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, on the purchase of your new Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System. Treated with care and regular
maintenance, your new system will provide many years of service delivering purified water to the tap.
By now, you have probably already opened the box to survey the contents. Please take a few moments to review this
manual before proceeding with the installation and use of the system. Some important items to review are as follows:
• Check all components for any damage caused in shipment. Also, take a quick inventory of all items supplied
to ensure none are missing. A checklist in the next section will assist you with identifying these items.
• Ensure that the reverse osmosis system and storage tank will easily fit into the desired location. This
reverse osmosis system and tank needs to be removed for regular maintenance, so good accessibility is
an important tip to keep in mind.
• Read all warnings contained within this manual.
Although this product is described as a ‘Drinking Water System’, the purified water produced by the reverse osmosis (RO)
process can be used for many purposes around the home.
•Drinking Water - keep container of RO water in the fridge to be able to enjoy the clean, fresh taste.
Alternatively, take it directly from the tap.
•Ice Cubes - use RO water to fill ice cube trays. Ice cubes made from RO water are typically
clearer and better tasting than ice made from plain tap water.
•Automatic Ice Makers - a water line from the RO system can be plumbed to refrigerators with automatic
icemakers. Additional accessories required to complete this connection are not included. Please consult the
refrigerator’s owner’s manual on this installation.
•ettles and Coffee Makers - plain tap water eventually causes films and scale in these devices that is
difficult to clean. RO water is very low in dissolved minerals content, greatly reducing the chance of scale
buildup.
•Cooking - use RO water for boiling pasta, rice or any other recipe that calls for water in the instructions.
•Washing Fresh Fruit & Vegetables - prevent tap water minerals from being deposited onto food to
maintain freshness.
•Family Pets - Allow your dog or cat to enjoy the same purified water you do.
•Irons and Steamers - prevent mineral buildup in household appliances that use water and eventually build
up with scale when using plain tap water.
Now you can relax and enjoy the benefits of great tasting water supplied by your reverse osmosis drinking water system.
Remember that good quality water is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You can also feel good about the money
you have saved by installing your own drinking water system instead of dealing with the expense and hassle of bottled
water delivery.

Application Guidelines
Functional Description
Feed water enters the 5-micron pre-filter, which filters out suspended particles such as dirt or sediment. The filtered water
then enters the pre-carbon filter (3 sump models only), which contains granular activated carbon, which removes any
chlorine from the water.
The water then enters the reverse osmosis membrane. The membrane will allow only permeate (product water) to pass
through. The brine (waste water) goes to the drain.
Permeate then flows through a hydraulic shut-off valve to the storage tank. When the tank fills and the tank pressure
reaches approximately 40% to 65% of the inlet feed water pressure, the shut-off valve closes, which turns the system off.
When water is drawn from the faucet, permeate flows from the storage tank through the post carbon filter. This filter
contains granulated activated carbon, removing any taste and odor that has accumulated while stored in the tank. When
the tank empties, the shut-off valve opens, turning the unit on.
(1) Nominal product water ratings are based on the following conditions: Supply TDS of 50 ppm
softened tap water, 50 psi (0.36 Mpa), 77°F ( 5°C), pH 8 and 15% recovery with outlet to
atmosphere.
( ) Rejection percentages are dependent on the supply conditions and the substance being measured.
Notes: The performance of a reverse osmosis membrane is highly dependent upon pressure,
temperature and TDS. The actual volume of product water and rejection percentage will vary with
differences from the test conditions that membrane ratings are based upon.
These drinking water systems are not intended to be used for the treatment of water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.

Installation
All State/Provincial and local government codes regarding installation of these devices must be observed.
Verify Water Supply is Potable
The water supply must meet provincial/state and/or national standards for potable drinking water. Water samples should
be sent to a certified laboratory for analysis.
Placement of omponents
Placement of the various components of the system will vary from installation to installation. The main objective is to place
the components so that they are accessible for servicing and ease of installation.
Spigot
Proper faucet placement should ensure a no-splash waterfall pattern into the sink. The spigot handle should be positioned
to either the left or right as one faces the sink.
Storage Tank
The storage tank should be placed so that it can be easily removed from under the sink. Avoid placing the storage tank
in out-of-the-way cabinets or dead spaces. There are two reasons for this: 1) the difficulty of installation increases
significantly and ) when the storage tank is located further away from the faucet, the flow rate diminishes.
Module Assembly
The module assembly should be hung on a sink cabinet side-wall with the two wood screws.
Quick Connect Fittings
All connections are quick connect fittings except for the compression fitting at the inlet sadle valve, drain saddle valve and
storage tank shutoff valve.
To Prepare Tubing
•Cut the tube squarely and remove any burrs.
•Mark from the end of the tube the length of insertion. (1/4" O.D. - 11/16", 3/8" O.D. - 3/4")
To Insert Tubing into Fitting
•Insert tube straight into fitting until it bottoms out on interior shoulder and insertion mark is no longer visible.
To Release Tubing
•Push collet toward body and pull on tubing to release tube. To re-use fitting, begin assembly over again.
Figure 2 - Quick Connect Fitting

Installation of Drain Saddle Assembly
The system comes supplied with a drain saddle and mounting
hardware which fits around a standard 1½"
O.D.drain pipe (See Figure 4).
a. The saddle should be installed above the trap and on the
vertical or horizontal tailpiece. It should never be placed
close to the outlet of a garbage disposal (See Figure 5).
b. Position saddle assembly on drain pipe to allow adequate
space for drilling through pipe. If possible, angle the drain
saddle fitting toward spigot location.
c. Tighten the drain saddle screws evenly and firmly so a
good seal is made. Avoid over tightening.
d. Drill a 5/16" hole in the drain pipe through the drain fitting
opening. Support the drain against drilling pressure.
e. Insert black drain line tubing into compression nut and
tighten.
NOTE: Some state or local codes may require that the drain saddle be served by a trap other than the
one serving the garbage disposal. Before making a connection as shown in Figure 4, please check with code authorities.

Installation of Feed Water Assembly
The system comes supplied with a saddle-type valve with mounting hardware and is intended to be used
on 3/8" to 1/ " copper tubing cold water supply line. NOTE: It is not to be used on flex lines.
a. Turn off cold water valve under the sink or main valve for the house.
b. Slide the clamp over the copper tubing and tighten the bottom screw firmly to hold the clamp in position.
(See Figure 3a & 3b)
c. Slide brass nut, plastic sleeve and tube insert on to the green 1/4" plastic tubing and thread onto valve outlet.
d. Pierce the copper tubing by turning the needle valve handle (clockwise) until it is firmly seated. The valve is closed in
this position.
e. Turn on main supply valve to pressurize cold water line. Immediately check for any signs of leaks.
f. When ready to supply water to the system, turn valve handle (counter-clockwise) until fully open.
Figure 3a Feed Water Assembly Figure 3b

Installation of Ball Valve Assembly
The ball valve and quick connect adapter must be installed on the RO storage tank.
a. Install the 1/4" x 3/8" male connector onto the ball valve. Tighten the fitting very gently until it is snug. Be very careful
not to over-tighten or the threads may strip.
b. Tighten the ball valve assembly onto the RO storage tank. Tighten the fitting very gently until it is snug. Be very careful
not to over-tighten or the threads may strip.
Drilling Sink Hole
The typical 1-1/8" sink hole will accommodate the standard spigot. Once the location of the spigot has been determined,
always check below the point you are about to drill to ensure it is unobstructed and that it isn't over a reinforcing rib.
a. Center punch the desired location to provide a starting point for your drill.
b. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole.
c. Enlarge the pilot hole using a 9/16" drill bit for standard faucet.
d. Remove all burrs and sharp edges.
e. Immediately clean up the sink area.
NOTE: If an enamel or porcelain sink is encountered, it is very important that the layer of porcelain be removed before
following the steps outlined above. This can be accomplished by gently grinding away, using a hobby grinder and silicon
carbide wheel, enough area of porcelain down to the metal base to accommodate a 1-1/8" high speed steel hole saw. The
hole saw cannot contact surrounding porcelain or chipping can occur. Now the steps outlined above can be followed.
Installation of Non-Air Gap Faucet
1. Place the chrome washer and the rubber washer on the base of the faucet.
. Apply 5-7 wraps of the teflon tape to the bottom of the brass stem. Install 3/8" quick connect faucet adapter provided.
Tighten gently until fitting is snug. Be careful not to over-tighten as the threads may strip.
3. Mount the faucet and complete assembly.

Start-Up Procedure
WARNING: To prevent microbiological growth and freezing, this reverse osmosis system contains a preservative
solution which, if ingested, may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea or other similar symptoms.
Therefore, 5 gallons (approximately two full tanks) must be drawn from the spigot to flush out the preservative. This
may represent two or three days of running, depending on conditions of the feed water.
The carbon filters require some rinsing to remove carbon fines. The filters will rinse out on their own by allowing the system
to produce full tanks of water and discarding the RO product water. The following procedure may be followed if it is
desired to rinse the filters immediately before producing an RO product water.
a. Disconnect the line from the auto shut off valve that runs from the outlet side of the Pre-Carbon Filter to the Auto Shut
Off Valve. Direct tubing into a pail or catch basin.
b. Turn on the feed water by opening the needle valve on the feed water saddle valve and catch the water in the pail. The
water rinsing the filter will appear grayish until the fines are rinsed out. When the water returns to clear, close the inlet
water valve. Re-connect the white tubing back into the Auto Shut Off Valve. The filters are now rinsed.
c. Turn on feedwater by opening the inlet water valve. Immediately check for any signs of a leak. Correct any problems
if necessary. Turn on storage tank valve.
d. It will not be uncommon to experience air bubbles or dissolved air in the product water. This will disappear after the
unit is in service for a short period of time.
e. The first two full tanks must be discarded to flush the membrane preservative out of the system as well as flush the
carbon fines from the Post Carbon Filter.

Maintenance Schedule
This schedule is designed for the average potable water supply and should be followed to ensure the proper functioning
of your drinking water system.
Pre-Filter - The pre-filter contains a 5 micron mechanical filter element. Its function is to remove suspended particles
from the feed water, thus reducing the possibility of clogging the reverse osmosis membrane. The pre-filter element should
be replaced every twelve months or earlier depending on the quality of the feed water.
Pre- arbon Filter -The pre-filter contains a granular activated carbon. Its function is to remove chlorine from the
incoming water to prevent any damage to the TFC membrane. The Pre-Carbon filter cartridge should be replaced every
4 months.
Reverse Osmosis Module - The reverse osmosis module contains a semi-permeable membrane. Its function is to
separate water molecules from dissolved impurities in the feed water. This is accomplished by application of hydraulic
pressure greater than the osmotic pressure in water containing dissolved solids. The life of the membrane can be
determined by measuring the percentage of rejection of total dissolved solids in the water. The membrane should be
replaced every 4 to 36 months when its efficiency will decrease.
Post- arbon Filter - The post-filter contains a granular activated carbon. Its function is to remove any taste and odor
from the water prior to delivering it to the spigot. The post-filter cartridge should be replaced every 4 months.
Changing Filters
Important: This RO System contains filters, which must e replaced at regular intervals to maintain proper performance.
See Maintenance Schedule for the recommended interval for changing the filters. Local conditions may dictate more
frequent cartridge replacement. Use a drip pan to catch any water that may spill when the housings are removed. Use only
factory approved filters.
1. Close the saddle valve and open the faucet by lifting the handle.
Allow storage tank to empty.
. Loosen and remove the appropriate filter housing(s). Discard the
cartridge(s).
3. Wash the inside of the housings using a mild detergent and a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads. Thoroughly rinse all
soap from the housing before re-assembly.

filter cartridges

Sanitization Procedures for your Reverse Osmosis System
Sanitization is a simple but important part of a regular maintenance routine required to keep your Reverse Osmosis
Drinking Water System operating properly.
Recording the dates of all maintenance and sanitization done on the unit is a good idea as well as marking on your
calendar future service interval dates. Your water system installer may have a maintenance service program to deal with
cartridge replacement and system sanitization by setting up regular scheduled service calls.
Sanitization maintenance of the Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System should be performed:
• Upon installation
• At least every 6 - 1 months as part of a regular maintenance routine.
• Whenever the pre-filter and post-filter cartridges are replaced as part of a regular maintenance routine.
• Whenever the reverse osmosis membrane is replaced.
• After the system requires any servicing or routine maintenance by your local water treatment specialist.
• After long periods of time when system is not used (approximately 30 days or more)
• Whenever evidence of harmful bacteriological contamination of the system has been discovered. In this case contact
your local water treatment specialist to disinfect your reverse osmosis system, and identify and eliminate the source
of contamination.
Materials required for Sanitization of the Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System:
• Mild soap solution to clean various components. Soap used should be as basic as possible and not contain any
fragrances or additives.
• Soft brush to assist cleaning various components. (DO NOT USE SCOURING PADS OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF
INSTRUMENT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY SCRATCH THE SURFACES OF THE UNIT.)
• Measuring spoon or device.
• Household bleach, typically containing 5. 5% of chlorine.
• One (1) Gallon of potable water to mix up a disinfectant solution. (DO NOT USE WATER THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED
POTABLE OR IS OF A QUESTIONABLE NATURE TO MIX UP THE DISINFECTANT SOLUTION)
• Drip pan or catch basin to collect any solution or water spilled along with paper towels to cleanup any spills.
• Silicone Based Lubricant to apply to O-Rings. (DO NOT USE PETROLEUM BASED LUBRICANTS)
Available Item # 13691 - 60 gram vial ( ertified ANSI/NSF 61, FDA Registration No. 21 FR 715.300)
Other important requirements of note:
• Before beginning installation and/or sanitization procedure, make sure that all tools used are disinfected.
• Thoroughly wash hands with soap before beginning installation and/or sanitization procedure. If your hands come into
contact with any unsanitary surface while performing this procedure or the installation, hands should be rewashed with
soap.
• Any surfaces used to work with to set various components on to dry, should be cleaned and disinfected.
• Any replacement cartridges, membranes and cleaned components should be handled as little as possible.
• A new pair of latex or surgical type gloves may be used to perform any sanitization procedure, but
also be aware that if the gloves surface comes into contact with any unsanitary surface while performing this procedure
or the installation, the gloves should also be re-disinfected or replaced.
IMPORTANT: This Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System should not be used on any water
supply sources that are microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
