In cases of space limitations or if an under-sink installation is not possible, the unit may be installed in other locations. Some considerations when choosing a location include: Close proximity to a cold water tap line. Close proximity to a suitable drain. Accessibility to a non-switched outlet. The outlet must provide consistent power to activate when the faucet is turned on. Accessibility for filter cartridge replacements. Cartridges must be changed out on a regular schedule. The location must meet temperature requirements. Components must not be exposed to freezing temperatures. PRECAUTIONS: Do not disassemble or modify the unit. If interior components need repair or maintenance, contact the manufacturer. Installation should only be carried out by authorized professionals. Do not place the unit near a heat source. Do not use power beyond the rated value of the machine. Only use the included AC power adapter. Keep the device unplugged when performing maintenance or installing. Do not install the unit outdoors or in direct sunlight. DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY, WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.

Open the cold water tap to relieve water pressure. INSTALLATION 2 Remove four screws from bottom plate before installation. 2 DISCONNECT WATER SUPPLY AND ATTACH JOHN GUEST VALVE Using an adjustable wrench, disconnect the cold water supply from the shutoff valve. Attach the John Guest valve to the cold water shutoff in the orientation shown on the right Once installed, attach the cold water line to the threaded top of the John Guest valve. 1 Disconnect 2 Install 3 PREPARE DRAIN CLAMP Choose a location on the sink's drain pipe that is unobstructed and above the drain trap. Ensure that this location is easy to access and can accommodate drilling. The waste water must go to drain through an anti-siphon air gap. Mark a location on the drain pipe and, using a battery powered drill equipped with a 1/4" bit, drill a hole into the wall of the drain pipe. TAKE CARE TO NOT PENETRATE THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PIPE. Drain Pipe Apply Adhesive Pad to rear of drain clamp Affix an adhesive pad over the rear of the outlet on the drain clamp assembly. Position the drain clamp assembly over the newly drilled hole and line up the hole with the clamp's outlet. When lined up properly, firmly press the clamp to the drain pipe and attach the Velcro strap tightly. Drain Clamp Drill 1/4" Hole Velcro Strap 1 2 Insert Red Drain Line I NSERT RED DRAIN LINE 4 CONNECT DRAIN LINE Insert one end of the 1/4" red drain line to the quick connect drain outlet on the rear of the QuadPro SST RO Unit. Run the other end to the drain clamp installed in step 3. Using a tube cutter, cut the red drain line to length. Ensure that there is little to no sag in the drain line to prevent noise and thrashing while the unit is draining. Remove the nut from the drain clamp and run the second end of the red drain line through the hole in the nut, into the installed drain clamp assembly, and into the hole cut into the drain pipe. Hand tighten the nut with the drain line back into the drain clamp assembly. Install an air gap on the drain line. This must be installed between the system and the drain adapter. Air gap not included in this system. 5 INSTALLATION 5 INSTALL FAUCET If installing the e-faucet included with the QuadPro SST unit, proceed to page 8 and return to step 6 once complete. If installing a different faucet, if replacing an existing RO unit and will be using the existing faucet, or if using the reverse osmosis unit for a different application than a dispensing faucet (such as an ice maker), please reference page 9. 6 MAKE FEED WATER CONNECTION Connect one end of a 3/8" White Product Water Tubing into the quick-connect port on the previously installed John Guest Valve. Run the other end of the tubing to the QuadPro SST reverse osmosis unit, approximately close to where its final position will be. Using a tube cutter, cut the tubing to a desired length. Use included fitting installation elbows as needed. Insert White 3/8" Tubing Insert White 3/8" Tubing Insert White 3/8" Tubing 7 MAKE PRODUCT WATER CONNECTION Connect one end of a 3/8" White Product Water Tubing into the connection on the faucet. Run the other end of the tubing to the QuadPro SST reverse osmosis unit, approximately close to where its final position will be. Using a tube cutter, cut the tubing to a desired length. Use fitting installation elbows as needed. 6 INSTALLATION 8 INSERT FILTRATION CARTRIDGES Remove the front faceplate of the 1 2 unit by lifting up on the bottom of the magnetized faceplate connector and pulling upwards. Set aside the faceplate. Insert the replacement cartridges into the unit in the order shown by pressing the cartridge until an audible "click" sound is heard. Ensure that the handle is in the "locked" position. Repeat with the remaining cartridges. Top: Pre-Filter Cartridge Middle: Post-Filter Cartridge Bottom: RO Cartridge LIFT AND PULL UP NOTE: Filtration cartridges may come pre-installed in the unit. In this case, remove each cartridge and inspect for any packaging. Re-install each cartridge once it is confirmed that no packaging is present on the cartridge or in the cartridge port. 9 CONNECT TRANSFORMER AND TEST FOR LEAKS Connect the power transformer to the connection on the QuadPro SST. Turn the cold water supply on by hand rotating the shutoff valve handle in the counterclockwise direction and ensure the John Guest valve will allow flow to the unit. Check for leaks around the raw water connections, including the John Guest valve and the raw water input on the unit. John Guest Valve Handle should be in the "up" position 10 PLUG UNIT IN TO POWER SOURCE Plug unit into the designated power supply. The pump will begin to run and will initiate its startup cycle. During startup, water will run to the drain. The startup cycle will last for approximately sixteen minutes. Once the pump stops making noise and water stops running to the drain, the startup cycle is complete. Ensure that the indicator lights are white for each filter cartridge. For more information on the indicator lights, see page 11. NOTE: Prior to plugging unit in, ensure that all water connections have been made and are secure. Plugging the unit in activates the pump and may result in significant water leakage if all connections are not made. 11 CLEAR WATER LINE Turn the RO faucet on and let run for a full fifteen minutes. Ensure that no air pockets are observed following the fifteen minutes of run-time. Once complete, shut off the RO faucet and do a final check for leaks, inspecting each of the connections. If no leaks are present, position the unit in its final location. 7 15 mins INSTALLATION 1 INSTALL FAUCET BASE ASSEMBLY Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, remove and set aside 1 2 the hex bolt on the rear of the faucet base assembly. If the sink does not have an existing 0.8-1.2 inch hole pre-drilled, such as for an existing spray attachment hole, the sink top will need to be drilled. Note: If the sink has a pre-drilled hole of a larger diameter than instructed to drill herein (0.8-1.2 inch), it is necessary to purchase a suitable escutcheon or cover plate adequate for the pre-drilled hole. Such a part/kit is not included in the IAPMO certification of this system to CSA B483.1 3 Tighten 4 Insert the faucet base assembly into the designated hole on the sink top. Orient the faucet base assembly so its rear (where the hex bolt was removed) is facing away from the sink. Using a Phillip's screwdriver, tighten the two screws visible on the top of the faucet base assembly. Once the screws are tightened, the faucet base assembly should rest snugly, without any "give" or movement. 1 2 2 INSTALL FAUCET ONTO BASE ASSEMBLY Remove the rubber screw cap from the rear of the faucet and set aside. Insert the power cord connected to the faucet through the center of the faucet base assembly. Slide the faucet onto the base assembly in the orientation shown and push a. down until fully inserted. b. Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, insert and tighten the hex screw into the faucet base assembly.

This system reduces pentavalent arsenic but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the system inlet or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only 50 ppb (0.050 mg/L) pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section below for further information. ARSENIC FACTS: Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It is measured by a laboratory test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have the water tested. The local health department or the state environmental health agency can provide a list of certified labs. Information about arsenic in water can be found on the internet at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website (epa. gov/safewater/arsenic). There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic (As(V), As(+5), and arsenate) and trivalent arsenic (also called As(III), As(+3), and arsenite). Although both forms of arsenic are potentially harmful to human health, trivalent arsenic is considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic. In water, arsenic may be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Special sampling procedures are needed for a lab to determine what type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the water. Check with the labs in your area to see if they can provide this type of service. If you get your water from a public water utility, contact the utility to find out if free chlorine or combined chlorine is used in the water system. The system is designed to reduce pentavalent arsenic only. It will not convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. This system was tested in a lab. Under testing conditions, the system reduced 0.050 mg/L (ppm) pentavalent arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (ppm) (the USEPA standard for drinking water) or less. The removal performance of pentavalent arsenic of the system may be limited due to water quality conditions (i.e. iron-containing water or other water quality conditions). Have your treated water tested for arsenic to check whether the system is working properly. The QuadPro Membrane must be replaced every 48 months to ensure system will continue to remove pentavalent arsenic. The component identification is listed in the installation/operation manual. 17 LIMITED WARRANTY WHAT IS COVERED: This limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship in manufacturing of your InterFlo QuadPro SST drinking water filter system for the following time periods from date of purchase, except as provided below.
