MANUAL
INSTALLATION & INSTRUCTIONS
The Water Filtration & Purification System is unique and based on the newest
technologies of filtration and purification using methods of reverse osmosis and re-
mineralization.
Once installed, the system produces the highest quality water for your home
or office.
is connected directly to your existing water line. The water goes through the
following stages of filtration:
Stage 1 – The 5-micron sediment filter removes suspended matter from tap water by
passing it through a cartridge filter preparing the water for the reverse osmosis
membrane.
Stage 2 – Pre-Carbon filter contains granular activated carbon to remove chlorine and
other chemical contaminants, protecting the Reverse Osmosis Membrane.
Stage 3 – The Reverse Osmosis Membrane (RO) is a semi-permeable membrane and
considered the heart of the system. Here the remaining suspended solids and most of
the dissolved impurities are separated from the water molecule and flushed down the
drain.
Stage 4 – Re-mineralization Filter enhances and clarifies your water prior to delivery,
adding those minerals essential to the human body. In addition, this filter re-
established and elevates ph levels supplying you with crystal clear, great tasting water.
Stage 5 – Post Carbon Filter contains block activated carbon to remove any residual
taste and odor.

Options
The system comes with a selection of options:
· Faucet finish - chrome or brushed-nickel
· Pressure tank - 2 gallon, 3G, 10G, 14G and 20G Pressure Tank
Service of the system
The filters in the Reverse Osmosis Box Assembly - sediment, pre-carbon and post-
carbon or 3-Pack must be replaced once a year. The PH Booster and Ionizer needs
replacement every 2-years. The Reverse osmosis Membrane is changed every 3-
years.
Quick Connect & Secure Fittings
1 – Confirm the tubing ends are cut squarely – NOT at an angle and without burrs.
2 – Firmly insert the end of the tubing into the Quick Connect Fitting until the tubing
bottoms. The tubing will insert into the fitting approximately ⅝of an inch.
3 – To remove the tubing from the Quick Connect Fitting, press firmly and evenly on the
protruding collet with your fingers. The gripping mechanism will release and the tubing
may be withdrawn.

Feed Water Valve
This is the mechanism that connects the system to your cold water line under your sink.
This device will self pierce copper and plastic plumbing.
Drain Saddle Valve
This connects to your drain plumbing and allows reject water flow to enter the drain
system.
Storage Tank
The storage tank holds 2.8 gallons of product water at 40 psi. A diaphragm inside the
tank keeps the water under pressure. The tank has an air pre-charge of 5-7 psi from
the factory.
Faucet
This sink-top or counter-top faucet dispenses the product water.
NOTE: YOU MAY HEAR A GURGLING NOISE FROM THE FAUCET OR FROM THE SINK. THIS IS
NORMAL; IT IS THE WATER GOING TO THE DRAIN. THE NOISE WILL STOP ONCE YOUR STORAGE
TANK IS FULL

For installation, you will need
•Drill and drill bits
•Teflon tape
•Straight & Phillips screwdriver
•Adjustable wrench
•Work gloves
•Pliers
•Safety glasses
•Knife or scissors
Additional tools will be required for installation on sinks without a predrilled alternate
faucet location.
NOTE: DRILLING OF HOLES MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE FAUCET AND COLD
WATER SADDLE VALVE.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS SYSTEM USING DEFECTIVE OR
DAMAGED COMPONENTS.
WARNING: IF DRILLING METAL PIPE, TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SERIOUS
INJURY OR FATAL SHOCK, USE A HAND DRILL OR CORDLESS DRILL TO MAKE
THE HOLE. IF YOU USE AN ELECTRIC DRILL, OUTLET MUST BE GROUNDED.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES OR OTHER EYE PROTECTION WHEN DRILLING
TO PREVENT POSSIBLE EYE INJURY FROM FLYING PARTICLES.
Faucet Installation
Select a location to mount the faucet. It is recommended that the faucet be placed in
the extra hole provided on most sinks (many times used for a sprayer or a soap
dispenser). If this is not possible, an alternate location will be required such as:
• On the counter top next to the sink, positioned to allow the faucet spout to
drain in to the sink. This requires a 2” clearance around the faucet - both above
and under the counter top.
•Another option is to drill a new hole into the sink rim itself, if space allows.

System Start-Up
1 - Turn on cold water supply.
2 - Make sure the tank ball valve is in the OFF position.
3 - Turn ON dedicated faucet, wait until the water flows to a steady trickle.
4 - Turn off the faucet - this will allow the system to PRESSURIZE. At this time,
check the system for leaks.
5 - Turn the tank ball valve to the ON position.
6 - It will now take several hours (2-3) for the storage tank to completely fill,
depending on the local water pressure.
7 - After the tank is filled, turn on the dedicated faucet and allow the pressure
tank to completely drain. This will take about 5 minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRINK THE WATER FROM THE FIRST TANK PRODUCED BY
YOUR NEWLY PURCHASED SYSTEM.
8 - Turn OFF the dedicated faucet.
9 - REPEAT Steps 7 & 8.
10 - Wait for the pressure tank to fill again.
You are now ready to enjoy the water.
7 - Check for leaks for the first several days and periodically thereafter.
8 - You may notice that the water may be milky colored during the first week.
This results from air bubble in the water. It is normal and safe.
