4.2 Installation Steps (Summary)
- Drill a hole in your countertop for the new RO faucet.
- Install the smart LED faucet and secure it.
- Connect the water supply line to the main unit.
- Connect the pure water line from the unit to the faucet.
- Connect the drain line from the unit to the sink drain.
- Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Turn on the main water supply and check for leaks.
- Flush the system as per operating instructions before first use.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 First Use and Flushing
Before consuming water from the system for the first time, it is crucial to flush the system to remove any manufacturing residues and air from the filters.
- After installation, turn on the water supply to the unit.
- Open the RO faucet and let the water run for at least 15-30 minutes, or until the water runs clear and free of air bubbles.
- Close the faucet. The system is now ready for use.
5.2 Daily Operation
To dispense purified water, simply open the smart LED faucet. The system will automatically activate and provide filtered water. The faucet's display will show the current TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level of the filtered water.

The TDS indicator helps you monitor the effectiveness of the filtration. A lower TDS reading indicates purer water. The faucet also provides visual reminders when it's time to replace the filters.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Thereye RO system.
6.1 Filter Replacement
The system uses two main filter elements: the PPC filter and the RO filter. The smart LED faucet will indicate when replacement is needed.
| Filter Type | Estimated Lifespan |
|---|---|
| PPC Filter | Approximately 12 months |
| RO Filter | Approximately 36 months |
Note: Filter lifespan may vary based on local water quality and usage.
6.2 Replacing Filters
The twist-and-pull design makes filter replacement quick and tool-free.
- Turn off the water supply to the RO system.
- Twist the old filter cartridge counter-clockwise to unlock and pull it out.
- Insert the new filter cartridge, aligning it correctly, and twist clockwise to lock it into place.
- Turn on the water supply and flush the system briefly as per first-use instructions.
- Reset the filter life indicator on the faucet (refer to faucet instructions for specific steps).

Replacement filters are available from authorized Thereye retailers.
6.3 Auto-Flush Function
The system features an auto-flush function that periodically flushes the RO membrane to reduce sediment accumulation and extend its lifespan. This process is automatic and requires no user intervention.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Thereye RO system.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow from faucet. | Water supply off, power disconnected, clogged filters. | Check water supply valve. Ensure unit is plugged in. Replace filters if due. |
| Low water flow. | Clogged filters, low incoming water pressure. | Replace filters. Check household water pressure. |
| High TDS reading on faucet. | RO membrane needs replacement, initial flushing incomplete. | Replace RO filter. Ensure system was properly flushed after installation/filter change. |
| Unusual noise from unit. | Air in system, pump operation. | Noise during initial operation or flushing is normal. If persistent and loud, check for loose connections or contact support. |
| Water leakage. | Loose connections, damaged tubing/O-rings. | Turn off water supply immediately. Check all connections and tubing. Tighten or replace as needed. The system has water leakage protection with error code E1. |
