The reverse osmosis assembly and storage tank is designed for installations under the sink,
usually in the kit hen. The reverse osmosis assembly mounts on a wall surfa e, or an sit on
the abinet floor next to the storage tank. The reverse osmosis produ t water tap installs on
the sink, or on the ountertop next to the sink.

the assembly on the hanger washers for servi e.
You an also lo ate the reverse osmosis assembly and storage tank in any remote lo ation
