BEFORE YOU START
●
Your system contains lters which must be replaced periodically for proper operation. (Refer to Filter Change Schedule on page 2.)
●
Read all steps and guides carefully before installing and using your RO system. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install.
●
The system is designed to be used on potable water supplies only. If water is non-potable, additional pre-treatment will be required.
●
Do not use for the treatment of water that is visually contaminated (cloudy) or has an obvious contamina-tion source, such as contamination by raw sewage.
●
All plumbing should be done in accordance with local codes and requirements.
●
This system works on water pressures of 20 psi (minimum) to 100 psi (maximum). If your house water pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure
reducing valve in the water supply line to the lter system.
●
Do not install the system outside, or in extreme hot or cold temperatures.Temperature of the water supply to the system must be between 40°F and 100°F. Do
not install on hot water.
SYSTEM LOCATION
Your Filter system may be installed under the sink, in a basement, or other location depending on available space. It is recommended the system be installed
in as close a proximity to the faucet to ensure optimal sys-tem ow rate. If you have a water dispenser and or ice maker in your fridge, your Filter system can be
in-stalled to provide the feed water for these features but you should consult your fridge owners manual for fur-ther information.
Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
Faucet: - should be placed near the sink where drinking/cooking water is normally required. A 2”at surface is required to mount the faucet if an existing hole
for a second faucet is not available.The thickness of the mounting surface should not exceed 1-1/4”.
Filter unit: - may be mounted on either side of the sink, in a cabinet or heated basement, with nearby access to a potable cold line.
Feed water connection: - is accomplished with a feed water adaptor or self-piercing inlet saddle valve. Lo-cate this assembly as close to the Filter unit as
possible. Connect to a potable, cold water supply line only.
