2. Product Features
- 8-Stage Precision Filtration: Reduces contaminants such as PFOA, PFOS, chlorine, lead, fluoride, heavy metals, and other impurities.
- Alkaline Mineralization: Combines a 0.0001µm RO membrane with alkaline technology to enrich water with essential minerals like Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺.
- Tankless Design: Compact system saves up to 70% of under-sink space and prevents recontamination associated with traditional tanks.
- 700 GPD High-Speed Flow: Provides a consistent and rapid water flow, filling a 6-ounce cup in approximately 6 seconds.
- 2:1 Pure-to-Drain Ratio: Generates 400% more clean water compared to conventional systems, minimizing water waste.
- Smart LED Faucet: Features a real-time TDS monitor and filter life reminder for convenient water quality monitoring.
- NSF/ANSI 372 Certified: System is certified for low lead content, ensuring safe usage.

3. What's in the Box
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- RO system unit
- RO/CF filter cartridges
- Smart LED Faucet
- PE pipes (various sizes for connections)
- T-fitting (for water supply connection)
4. Setup and Installation
The Waterdrop G5P700A system is designed for under-sink installation. Please follow these guidelines carefully.
4.1 Pre-Installation Considerations
- Countertop Drilling: Faucet installation requires drilling holes in the countertop. Typically, two holes are needed: one for the RO faucet and another for the drain pipe connection.
- Electrical Outlet: An electrical outlet is required under the sink to power the system.
- Feed Water Requirements: If using well water as the source, pre-treatment through a filtration system is recommended. This RO system is not designed to be directly connected to the kitchen main faucet.
- Dimensions: Measure your under-sink cabinet space before installation to ensure the system (5.69"L x 16.69"W x 13.9"H) fits appropriately.

4.2 Installation Steps
Refer to the included quick start guide and detailed instruction manual for step-by-step installation. The tankless design simplifies the process, often allowing for installation within 30 minutes without complex plumbing.

5. Operating Instructions
Once installed, operating your Waterdrop G5P700A system is straightforward.
5.1 Dispensing Water
Turn the handle on the smart LED faucet to dispense purified water. The system will activate automatically, providing a smooth and consistent flow.
5.2 Smart Faucet Display
The integrated smart LED faucet provides real-time information:
- TDS Monitor: Displays the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of the filtered water.
- Filter Life Reminder: Indicates the remaining lifespan of the CF (Composite Filter) and RO (Reverse Osmosis) filter cartridges.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance, primarily filter replacement, ensures optimal performance and water quality.
6.1 Filter Replacement
The system uses two filter cartridges with different replacement schedules:
- CF (Composite Filter): Replace every 6 months.
- RO (Reverse Osmosis) Filter: Replace every 24 months.
The smart faucet will indicate when a filter needs replacement. The system features automatic water shutoff during filter changes for convenience and to prevent leaks.

7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues and smart alerts to help maintain your system.
7.1 Smart Alerts
The system is equipped with comprehensive smart alerts to safeguard water safety:
- Leakage Warning: Alerts you to potential water leaks.
- Fault Warning: Indicates system malfunctions.
- Automatic Water Shut-off: Engages to prevent water damage in case of a detected leak or fault.
- Micro-leakage Protection: Provides additional security against small leaks.

7.2 Common Issues
- Low Water Flow: Check filter life indicators. If filters are near end-of-life, replace them. Ensure adequate water pressure from the supply.
- Unusual Taste/Odor: This may indicate expired filters. Replace the CF filter first, then the RO filter if the issue persists.
- TDS Reading Inconsistency: While the smart faucet provides a real-time TDS display, external TDS meters may show slight variations. If the reading is consistently high or does not fluctuate as expected after inactivity, ensure filters are correctly installed and not expired. Contact customer support if concerns persist.
- Leaks: Check all connections for tightness. The system has fewer connection points (3 vs. 26 in traditional systems) to reduce leak risk. If a leak is detected, the automatic shut-off should activate.
Image 7.2: The G5P700A features only 3 connection points, significantly reducing the risk of leaks compared to traditional systems.
