Adjustable wrench, tube cutters (or knife), cross-head screwdriver (Phillips).
Plan your Installation
Your SimPure® T1.400 Water Purifier can be installed under a sink or in a
remote location. Typical remote sites include a laundry room or utility room.
Review the location options below and determine where you are going to inst
your system.
- Option 1: Under-sink. The unit can be installed in a kitchen or bathroon sink cabinet A suitable drain point is required for drain water from the Reverse Osmosis system.
- Option 2: Remote Interior. The unit may also be installed in a remote interior location away from the RO Faucet You will need a nearby feed water source and drain point connection.
Check Location and Space Requirements
Determine and check the size and position of the T1-400 for proper
installation
into the chosen space and remember to leave enough room around the System
for changing filters and maintenance.
Installation Steps
Step 1 – Install the T1-400 Assembly
Take out the filter cartridges.
Remove the protective film and pull out the protective cover.
Install the filter cartridges,
According to the mark on the main body, insert the corresponding filter
cartridge into the main body first, and then screw it tightly.
Install the PP, CTO, RO and T33 filter cartridges in sequence.
Warning: Refer to the markings to ensure that each filter cartridge is
installed in the correct location.
Step 2 – Install the feed water adaptor valve
If the cold water valve outlet is 3/8”, it can be directly connected by
following steps.
Locate Shut off valve. Turn off the COLD water shut off valve located
under the sink,
Warning: Make sure you have turned the water supply off before starting
any plumbing work. Remove the original connection from between the faucet and
the cold water shut off valve under the sink.
Connect the cold-water supply and feed water adapter valve. Note: Please
check if the sealing ring is installed, or it may leakage.
If the cold water valve outlet is 1/2”, it can be connected via the following
two fittings.
Step 3 – Install the faucet
Fixing to the Sink, Try to install the faucet on the sink surround if
possible, using one of the mounting holes already available, remove the cover,
make sure you have clear access above and below.
If there are no additional holes available, you will need to drill a suitable
hole. A secondary option would be to mount the faucet directly into the
countertop next to the sink, Max.thickness 1.2 inches, If you need to drill
the countertop, especially for granite, tile, or concrete,you may need
professional assistance.
Using a hammer and center punch, mark the hole. Drill a pilot hole first, working up to “2″ (12.5mm) drill bit. Insert the faucet through the hole with the top gasket in place and secure it with the locknut.
Step 4 – Install the Drain Saddle
If installing the product under a sink, make sure you connect the drain to
a straight piece of pipe and make sure it is BEFORE the water trap (‘P’ trap
or ‘U’ bend) see diagram below.
Drill a 4″ (6.5mm) hole on the drainpipe with an electric drill.
Remove the backing and stick the saddle valve seal on the pipe, line up the holes,
Assemble the drain saddle valve according to the diagram below and tighten the bolts evenly with the cross-head screwdriver to allow the clap to fit snuggly around the pipe (Do Not Overtighten). Once secure, insert the 4″ PE tube into the saddle valve QC fitting and push the tube a further 3/5″ (15mm) into the saddle valve, so the end of the tube roughly reaches the middle of the drain pipe.
Step 5 – Connect Tubing (refer to page 17 for instructions on use of Quick
Connect Fittings)
Follow the instruction below to connect the SimPure® T1-400 Filtration System.
-
Inlet Water (A)
Use 1/4″ white tube to connect the Inlet water port and the Feedwater Valve. (refer to white tube connect) -
Waster Water (B)
Use 1/4″ red tube to connect the waster water port and the Drain Saddle. (refer to red tube connect) -
Outlet Water (C)
Use 1/4″ blue tube to connect the outlet
water port and the Gooseneck Faucet. (refer to blue tube connect)
Step 6 – System Flushing(start up the system)
-
System flushing—Turn on the Feedwater valve and gooseneck faucet, then plug in and let the system run for 20 minutes to rinse all fittings and the new filter. Check for any signs of leaks.
Warning: Make sure the socket under the sink is powered on, and ensure the system has been plugged correctly into the power outlet,
Note: You may notice Black Carbon particles for the first minute, this is normal -
Enjoy your drinking water—After flushing, the system is ready for use.
Turn on the faucet and enjoy it.
Note1: Every time you turn on the faucet, the system will need some time to dispense water. There may be a S=second delay before water dispense, which is normal.
Note2: There will be some noise when the system is running, this is normal.
The noise will disappear when the faucet is turned off,
