What Does the Water Quality Association (WQA) Gold Seal
Mean to a Consumer?
Safe drinking water is very important to you and your family. Many municipalities meets the minimum requirements to
provide drinking water, most do not meet the recommended health and safety goals set by governmental agencies nor
they have control over the decreasing water quality as it travel through all distribution systems and household plumbing.
Hence it is important to treat water at your household with the help of water treatment and filtration products. It is important
to know that the water treatment and filtration products “Do what they say they will” and the plumbing components that
touch your water “don’t introduce harmful contaminants.”
With so many products out in the market how can you know that which ones do the job safely and which ones don’t? You
need an easy to recognize trusted seal approval on the products that are safe to use and will perform as advertised. There
is a mark that tells you at a glance all you need to know “The Water Quality Association Gold Seal”. The Gold Seal on any
drinking water product is exactly what’s certified and this delivers cleaner and safer water.
Since 1959, the water quality association Gold Seal certification program has been testing and certifying products that filter
or touch the water you drink.
It guarantees two critical aspects of consumer safety, that the filtration and treatment products perform as expected and
the plumbing products at your home aren’t hazardous to water quality.
It is a well known program among the consumer and regulatory bodies everywhere.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you and congratulations on making a smart decision to invest in a WaterSTATION.
You have joined an elite group of water enthusiasts who demand only the best when it comes to their health and the health
of their family.
In order to fully enjoy your system, please read the users manual thoroughly before use and please use this manual for
future reference.
Since your satisfaction is our priority, feel free to contact our service experts should you have any questions. You may
reach us toll free at 1-866-874-2532.
We are proud of our product and we trust that our strict devotion to the highest quality assurance standards will provide
you with years and years of clearer, treated, great tasting water.
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WaterSTATIONandstoragetankwilleasilyfitintothedesiredlocation.ThisWaterSTATION
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.
The water produced by the ‘WaterSTATION’ can be used for many purposes around the home.
• Drinking Water - keep container of WaterSTATION water in the fridge to be able to enjoy the cleaner,
fresher taste. Alternatively, take it directly from the tap.
• Ice Cubes - use WaterSTATION water to fill ice cube trays. Ice cubes made from WaterSTATION water are
typically clearer and better tasting than ice made from plain tap water.
• Automatic Ice Makers - a water line from the WaterSTATION 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.
• Kettles and Coffee Makers - plain tap water eventually causes films and scale in these devices that is
difficult to clean. WaterSTATION water is very low in dissolved minerals content, greatly reducing the
chance of scale buildup.
• Cooking - use WaterSTATION 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. Steamers & Portable Humidifiers - 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 WaterSTATION. 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 WaterSTATION instead of dealing with the expense and hassle of bottled water delivery and also the
impact of the water bottles to the environment.
Simply the best!

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
TOOLS
The following tools may be necessary, depending on each particular installation:
SYSTEM LOCATION
Your WaterSTATION may be installed under a sink, in a basement or other location, depending on available space. Do
notinstallunitwheretemperaturesfallbelowfreezing;otherwise,damagewillresult.Connectiontoanicemakershould
also be considered for optimum performance.*
* It is recommended to install an icemaker to a maximum of 30 to 40 feet from the system with a 3/8” tubing.
Guidelines for component placement are as follows:
•Faucetshouldbeplacednearthesinkwheredrinking/cookingwaterisnormallyrequired.A2”flatsurfaceisrequiredto
mount the faucet if an existing hole for a second faucet is not available. The thickness of the mounting thickness should
not exceed 1-1/4”.
•Storagetankmaybeplacedwhereitisconvenient,withintenfeetofthefaucet.Underthesinkorinanearbycabinet
are excellent choices. If tank is located further than ten feet from the faucet, use 1/2’ tubing to reduce pressure drop.
Full tanks may weight more than thirty pounds, so a sturdy shelf is required.
•WaterSTATIONunitmaybemountedoneithersideofthesink,inacabinetorheatedbasementwithnearbyaccessto
a potable, cold water line. Feed water connection is accomplished with a self-piercing feed water saddle valve. Locate
thisassemblyasclosetotheWaterSTATIONunitaspossible.Connecttoapotable,coldwatersupplylineonly.
Note:ConditionedwaterispreferredsinceitwillextendthelifeofyourTFCmembrane.
•Drainconnectionisaccomplishedusingawastewatersaddlevalvewhichisdesignedtofitaroundastandard1-1/2”
ODdrainpipe.Thedrainsaddlevalveshouldalwaysbeinstalledabove(before)thetrapandontheverticalor
horizontal tailpiece.
•Donotinstallthedrainsaddlevalvenearagarbagedisposal;otherwise,pluggingofthewastewaterlinemayoccur.If
discharging into a utility sink or standpipe, an air gap must be provided (Air gaps must be 1” or greater above the floor
rim).Theairgapinthissystemisbuiltinthefaucet.Pleaserefertothediagrambelow.
Note: Plumbing codes may require the use air gaps. Please check with your local municipality.
•DonotconnecttheWaterSTATIONdrainlinetothedishwasherdrainlineduetothefactbackpressuresmycausethe
air gap to overflow.
SITE PREPARATION
Installing dealers may want to speak with customers
in advance and ask them to clean under the sink to
save time. If a basement installation is advisable,
check area to determine if extra fittings or hosing
arerequired.Uponarrival,itisagoodideato
check the condition of all plumbing for potential
leaks and advise customer so there will be no
misunderstandings in the event leaks occur.

INTER-COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
Connections between cold water supply line, RO Module, storage tank, product water faucet, and drain line are accomplished
using plastic tubing and push-together quick-connect type fittings.
PLASTIC TUBING
1. Cut tube ends square and straight. Do not deform
tube (i.e., cause tube to compress its diameter so it
is no longer round).
2. Make sure outer surface of tube is clear of marks or
scratches for a length equal to twice tube diameter.
This allows "O" ring to seat properly against tube.
3. Avoid sharp changes in direction when routing
tubing. Sharp turns cause tubing to flex and deform,
which reduces its flow capacity and may increase
lateral stress on the fittings, causing leakage.
QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS
Fittings consist of two parts: a Body and a colored collet
and symbol. Collet color and symbol corresponds to
tubing to be used at that connection (Figure 2.A.).
1. To install a tube, push it through Collet until it seats
firmly at bottom of fitting (Figure 2.A and 2.B.).
2. To remove a tube, push and hold Collet against
Body while pulling tube out (Figure 2.C.).
A. Push tube through Collet into Body. B. Tube must seat firmly at bottom of
fitting.
C. Push Collet against Body to release
tube.

PRODUCT WATER FAUCET SITE PREPARATION
Refer to Faucet Installation Instructions (Page 6) for site location and mounting hole specifications.
Primary considerations for site selection are convenience of use and an open area under sink. An existing 7/8”
Sink Hole will also accommodate metal faucets with air-gap connections. Always check underside of selected
location for obstructions.
PORCELAIN/ENAMEL OVER STEEL
OR CAST IRON SINKS
1. CAUTION: A heavy duty, variable speed drill motor
with a spring-loaded porcelain drill set (Figure 6) is
strongly recommended for this procedure.
CAUTION: The plastic sleeve supplied on pilot drill
(Figure 6.A) is to be positioned on drill bit against drill
chuck. This prevents chuck from contacting
porcelain after pilot hole has been completed.
NOTE: Practice on discarded sinks to familiarize
yourself with operation of porcelain cutter kit.
Using carbide tipped bit with plastic sleeve (Figure
6.A.), drill pilot hole completely through porcelain and
metal underneath.
2. CAUTION: Avoid high motor R.P.M. during initial
penetration of porcelain, as high drill speed will cause
excessive chipping.
Place spring-loaded porcelain saw (Figure 6.B.) into
drill chuck. Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly.
Insert pilot guide into pilot hole. Push down gently on
drill motor to apply light pressure to porcelain surface.
Start drill motor turning as slowly as possible.
After initial cut has started, motor speed may be
gradually increased. The cut may require three to
four minutes to complete. Going faster could result in
excessive chipping. Be sure a complete ring has
been cut through porcelain to material underneath.
3. Place finish hole saw (Figure 6.C.) into drill chuck.
Make sure pilot guide is inserted tightly. Insert pilot
guide into pilot hole. Begin cut using a slow speed
and light pressure until porcelain (inside ring cut in
Step 2) has been penetrated to material underneath.
4. Remove saw from hole and clean all debris from
porcelain surface. Re-insert saw into hole and cut
through remaining material.
5. Installation hole is ready, install faucet.
TILE COUNTER TOP
1. Follow procedures detailed in section labeled
"Porcelain/Enamel Over Steel" (substitute "tile" for
"Porcelain" in instructions).
STAINLESS STEEL SINK
1. Use a center punch to make a small indentation to
mark center of desired location.
2. Drill a pilot hole with a 1/8" metal drill bit, then enlarge
hole with a 9/16" metal drill bit.
3. Complete hole size by using a 1 1/4" chassis punch.
