3. Setup and Installation

The Waterdrop G5P500A is designed for under-sink installation. Please ensure you have adequate space and necessary connections before beginning.

Installation Requirements:

  • Under-sink electricity is required.
  • Two drilled holes are needed: one for the RO faucet (2.5cm diameter) and one for waste water drainage (2.5cm diameter).
  • The provided faucet must be used. Do not directly connect to the main water pipe.
  • For well water sources, a pre-filter is required prior to the RO system.
  • Measure your cabinet size before purchase to ensure an ideal fit.

The system is designed for a quick installation, typically within 30 minutes, and does not require complex plumbing modifications.
