Introduction
Thank you for buying the Zero Waste Retrofit Kit. This kit is designed
to retrofit existing reverse osmosis systems and save water from
being wasted.
How it works:
This conversion kit works by using the booster pump to increase
the pressure throughout the system so that the brine water (which is
usually wasted) can be recycled back into the hot water line. Here is
what each component does:
• Booster Pump: Boosts the pressure throughout the system.
• Solenoid: Shuts off the water to the unit when the tank is full.
• Pressure Switch: Turns off the pump and closes the solenoid
when the tank is full.
• Check Valve: A one-way valve that allows the brine (waste)
water to get pushed into the hot water, but not let any hot
water back in.
• Flow Restrictor: Controls how much water is returned into
the hot water line. See instructions for sizing.
• Transformer: Provides power to the electrical components.

Instructions:
PLEASE NOTE installation may vary depending on your
system, please review the attached diagrams for your unit. If
your unit is not shown, please contact customer service at
800-752-5582.
Preparation
Step 1 - Turn off the hot and cold water angle stops
Step 2 - Lift the handle on the reverse osmosis faucet to drain the
water from the system and storage tank. Note: If the tank
is equipped with a ball valve, close the valve to preserve
tank water
Adapt-a-valve Installation at Hot-Water
Angle Stop
Connect the adapt-a-valve as shown below
To Disconnect
How To Use the Quick Connect Fittings
To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed in by hand; the
unique patented John Guest collet locking system then holds the
tube firmly in place without deforming it or restricting flow.
Cut the Tube Square
Cut the tube square and remove burrs
and sharp edges. Ensure that the outside
diameter is free from score marks.
Push the tube into the
fitting and up to the
tube stop
Push Up to the Tube Stop
Pull to Check Secure
To disconnect, ensure that the
system is depressurized, push the
collet square against the fitting. With
the collet held in this position the
tube can be removed.
Pull on the tube
to check that it is
secure. Test the
system before use

Checklist
_____ Reverse osmosis system must be at least 25 feet (piping
distance) from the hot water heater
_____ For proper performance and pump life, make sure you are
up to date with your filters and please verify the pressure
of the storage tank (as recommended by your operating
manual)
_____ Reverse osmosis system must use a single 25-50 GPD
membrane
_____ A non-switched outlet

Alternate Adapt-a-valve installation at Hot
Water Connection to Faucet
If you are connecting the adapt-a-valve at the faucet connection,
install as shown below:
Brine Connection
Step 3 - Disconnect the existing brine tube from the membrane.
Make sure to also remove the existing flow restrictor from
the unit. The existing brine tube will no longer be used.
NOTE: Part of this upgrade will include switching your existing
flow restrictor with one provided with this kit. Please see
sizing chart below:
MEMBRANE FLOW RESTRICTOR
25 GPD MEMBRANE 500 ML FLOW RESTRICTOR (RED TUBE WITH GREEN INSERT)
35 GPD MEMBRANE 500 ML FLOW RESTRICTOR (RED TUBE WITH GREEN INSERT)
50 GPD MEMBRANE 700 ML FLOW RESTRICTOR (RED TUBE WITH PURPLE INSERT)
Step 4 - Determine which flow restrictor to use based on the table
above
Step 5 - Connect the open end of the red flow restrictor tube to
the check valve - make sure the tube is inserted 0.75
inches into the check valve
Step 6 - Connect the red tube with the flow restrictor insert into
the brine port of the unit
Step 7 - Connect the black tube from the new check valve/flow
restrictor assembly to the hot water adapt-a-valve
Step 8 - Disconnect the tube to the drain saddle. This drain tube
will no longer be used
Step 9 - Insert the plug into the drain saddle.

Step 11 - All electrical connections are color coded for your
convenience. Plug the wire harness into the pump and
solenoid.
Step 12 - Connect the pressure switch to the wire harness
Step 13 - Connect the transformer to the pressure switch
Startup
Step 14 - Turn on the hot and cold water supply valves and check
for leaks
Step 15 - Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet and let the
unit run for two minutes and check for leaks.
Step 16 - Open the RO faucet and make sure water begins to
trickle out within 10 minutes. If it does not, check your
connections and the direction of flow through the pump
Step 17 - Periodically check the unit for leaks during the first five-
days of operation.
