5.1 General Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Clear the space under your sink. Ensure you have access to the cold water line and a drain pipe.
2. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the cold water supply valve under your sink.
3. Install Feed Water Adapter: Connect the feed water adapter to your cold water line.
4. Install Drain Saddle: Attach the drain saddle to the drain pipe under your sink.
5. Install Dedicated Faucet: If a hole is not already present, drill a 1/2-inch hole in your countertop for the dedicated faucet. Install the faucet and secure it.
6. Mount Main Unit: Place the Frizzlife PD400 main unit in the desired location under the sink.
7. Connect Tubing: Connect the appropriate tubing (1/4" white, 1/4" red, 3/8" white) from the feed water adapter, drain saddle, and dedicated faucet to the corresponding ports on the main unit. Use plumber's tape on threaded connections as needed.
8. Flush the System: Before first use, turn on the water supply and allow the system to flush for at least 15-30 minutes to remove air and carbon fines.
