INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of Angle Stop Valve Adapter

• Turn off the cold water shut off valve and disconnect the supply line from the shut off valve.

• Connect the supplied angle stop adapter valve to the shut off valve and connect the supply line to the top of the angle stop adapter valve.

Connection of Ports

NOTE: The supplied 1/4” tubing is used for both the feed water supply and the drain water port. Please plan accordingly and carefully cut appropriate lengths for each from the supplied tubing, making a clean square cut.

Inlet Feed Water Port – Connect one side of the 1/4” tubing to the inlet water valve and the other end into the inlet water port on the RO System.

Inlet Water Port – Cut a short segment from the supplied 1/4” tubing (~12”) to install between the shutoff valve and the pressure reducer. The remaining tubing is installed between the pressure reducer and the RO System’s ‘FEED’ port. Also, the pressure reducer needs to be installed with the arrow on the reducer pointing in the direction of flow from the water supply to the RO unit.

Drain Water Port

NOTE: The supplied 1/4” tubing is used for both the feed water supply and the drain water port. Please plan accordingly and carefully cut appropriate lengths for each from the supplied tubing, making a clean square cut.

Drain Water Port – Drill a 1/4” hole in the existing drain well above the trap. Remove the center punch-out from the included saddle clamp gasket and adhere the gasket over the 1/4” hole in the drain pipe. Install the drain saddle clamp with the port centered over the hole in the drain pipe. Use a sharp knife to cut a length of the supplied 1/4” tubing that will reach from the port in the drain pipe to the port on the RO system marked ‘DRAIN’. Connect one end to the ‘DRAIN’ port on the RO system, and the other end to the port in the saddle clamp.

• For replacements filters visit www.dropconnect.com/accessories/ or call 1-888-BUY-DROP.
• Only replace with genuine DROP by Chandler Systems filters.
• The app will alert you when there is 15% filter life remaining and when it is time to change your filter.

NOTE: Follow local plumbing codes – use of an air gap may be necessary when connecting directly to the drain.

Installation of Faucet and Drinking Water Port

Faucet Installation – Drill a 3/4” hole for the stainless steel faucet and install, being sure that the faucet cable exits through the gap in the supplied spacer without being pinched.. Connect faucet cable to the FAUCET port on the RO System.

Drinking Water Port – Install the 3/8” push-connect faucet adapter onto the faucet stem. Connect one end of the 3/8” tubing to the faucet adapter and the other end to the RO System port marked ‘DRINK’.

When installing your Reverse Osmosis filter, first set up your RO unit and allowit to make filtered water for 20 minutes before turning on your RO for the first time.

Cartridge Installation

Reverse Osmosis System MUST be placed on a flat, stable surface. Cartridges are installed from front.

• Cartridges load in front of unit.
• Turn cartridge counter clockwise a 1/4 turn to remove old cartridge.
