The minerals and impurities are measured in water as total dissolved solids (TDS). The system includes replaceable pre and postfilter sediment- carbon cartridges. The prefilter reduces sand, silt, dirt, rust particles, other sediments, and chlorine from the water supply before it can enter the RO membrane. PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION it is recommended to read through the entire manual before beginning your installation. Follow all steps exactly. Reading this manual will also help you get all the benefits from your system. Your Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System can be installed under a sink or in a remote location. Typical remote sites are a laundry room or utility room. Review the location options below and determine where you are going to install your system. NOTE: For best system performance, the feed water to the system should be softened or less than 10 grains per gallon hard, UNDER THE SINK LOCATION The Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly and storage tank are normally installed in a kitchen or bathroom sink cabinet. See Figure 2. A suitable drain point is needed for reject water from the Reverse Osmosis filter. REMOTE LOCATION You can also locate the Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly and storage tank in a remote location away from the Reverse Osmosis Faucet. You will need a nearby water source and drain point. See Figure 3. CHECK SPACE REQUIREMENTS Check size and position of items for proper installation into location chosen. TOOLS NEEDED Review the tools needed list. See Figure 1. Gather needed tools before proceeding with the installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools list ed here. The postfilter reduces any tastes and/or odors that may remain in the water, after passing through the RO membrane, and just before going to the RO faucet. To prevent water waste, an automatic shutoff valve closes when the RO faucet is closed and the storage tank is full. Your reverse osmosis system gives you a continuous supply of sparkling clear, delicious water for drinking, cooking and other uses. Foods will look and taste better too. Having high quality RO product water at your fingertips eliminates the need to buy bottled water. The storage tank holds over 2 gallons of RO product water for your needs.

It is recommended, but not required, that the cold water line be soft water. You can use the saddle valve provided with your unit to tap into the cold water line. See Fig. 5. Or you can purchase standard pipe fittings locally such as a compression fitting. The fitting must provide a leak-tight connection to the Reverse Osmosis 1/4" tube. NOTE: Local code may dictate which type of water fitting is used. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with local codes or plumbing procedures. NOTE: Codes in the state of Massachusetts require installation by a licensed plumber and do not permit the use of saddle valves.
