Unit Placement
- The unit can be placed flat or upright and on top, inside, or under the cabinet. Feed Water connection should be as close as possible to unit. However. if due to space or other limitations, this unit can be placed where it is convenient.
- When choosing a location for the unit, remember to have easy access to cold water line, drain pipe. power outlet. and enough room to change filters.
NOTE: All components and tubing should be located in an area not exposed to freezing temperatures or direct sunlight.
Drain Clamp Installation
- Position drain clamp on drain pipe above the drain trap and tighten securely.
- Using the drain clamp as a guide, drill a 6mm hole, enough for the 1/4″ tubing to pass. through one side of the drain pipe. DO NOT drill through both sides.
- Connect Red Waste Water Tubing from unit to Drain Clamp.
NOTE: When cutting the tubing make clean, square. cuts. failing to do so result in poor connection and possible leaks.
CAUTION: The lowest point of the line should be the point of connection to the Drain Clamp. There should be no sag in the line as this may cause excessive noise as the reject water is flowing to drain.
DRAIN CLAMP ASSEMBLY
Feed Water Valve and Tee Fitting
- Install Tee Fitting and Feed Water Valve as per diagram.
- Wrap threads of Feed Water Valve and Tee Fitting with Teflon tape.
- Connect White Feed Water Tubing from unit to Feed Water Valve.
Install the Feed water valve
Install the Feed water valve Tee fitting, and then connect to source water.
Caution: The water supply to your unit MUST be from COLD WATER LINE.
NOTE: Use only a cold potable water supply as Feed Water, hot water will damage your unit. Softened Feed Water will extend the life of the RO Membrane.
Pressure Tank
- Keep Pressure Tank within 10 feet of faucet.
- If longer length of tubing is needed, use 3/8″ tubing only to prevent pressure drop.
- Tank can weigh up to 30Ibs when full, find firm and level flooring.
- Install Ball Valve by screwing Valve on to Tank and apply Teflon tape to prevent leaking.
Tank Ball Valve - Tank ball valve Connect Red tubing from post filter to Pressure Tank.
Tubing Connection
Refer to the following diagram for how to properly install the Quick fittings and JACO fittings.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANC
Pre-filter Flushing (initial setup, before installing RO Element)
Prepare system for operation by flushing pre-filters:
- After your system is installed, the filters need to be flushed.
- To flush your filters. turn the blue valve in front to ON POSITION.
- Continue flushing until output water is visibly clean.
- After the filters have been flushed. make sure the blue valve is in OFF POSOTION for regular operation.
Note: membrane may be severely damaged if system is run without flushing pre-filters. Discard all water from flush, it is not suitable for use or consumption.
- After flushing pre-filters connect and open all valves.
- Wait approximately 2 minutes before opening faucet
- Allow system to flush for first 10-15 minutes with faucet open.
Do not use water from RO unit at this time.
Flushing the Pressure Tank
- After flushing the Pre-Filters, allow the unit to operate and fill the Pressure Tank.
- Tank will take approximately 3.5 hours to fill. Once tank is full, discharge Pressure Tank by leaving faucet open.
- Once Tank is completely empty, close faucet and allow tank to fill again.
After the Pressure Tank has been flushed, the unit is ready for use.
After flushing the system is ready to use.
Regular Operation
Once system has been set up, it will operate and begin treating water automatically. Once the faucet is closed, the unit will switch off automatically when the tank is full.
Filter Replacement
- Close Feed Water Valve.
- Close Tank Ball Valve on Pressure Tank.
- Open Faucet and drain any remaining water from system.
- Replace filters. reconnect, and open valves.
- Perform pre-filter flush after filters have been changed
Note: Diagrams on how to connect using quick connect fittings can be found in the installation section.
Membrane Replacement
- Close Feed Water Valve.
- Close Tank Ball Valve on Pressure Tank.
- Open Faucet and drain any remaining water from system.
- Open membrane housing and remove used membrane.
- Follow the same procedure as RO membrane installation to replace RO membrane.
