Using the Reverse Osmosis System

• How the Reverse Osmosis System Works
• Reverse Osmosis reduces Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and organic matter from water by diffusing it through a special membrane (see Pertormance Data sheet). Ine membrane separates minerals and impuritues irom the water and they are flushed to the drain. For the reduction of the claims specified, see Performance Data Sheet. High quality product water goes directly to the drinking water faucet. The system makes a good supply of drinking water each day. How much t makes depends on the feed water supply pressure, temperature and quality.
• The prefilter and postfiter are replaceable cartridges. The carbon prefilter reduces chlorine while also filtering sediments. Ine postiter reduces any otner undesirabie tastes and 0dors Derore you use tne water.
• The system includes an electronic display with a prefilter, postfilter and membrane change reminder. When six months have passed for the pre and post filter, a flashing light will remind you to change the fiters. Similarly, when 12 months have passed, a flashing light will remind you to change the membrane.
• Postfilter After leaving the membrane, but before going to the systom faucet, product water goes to the post filter cartridge. The postfilter is an enhanced replaceable sediment cartridge containing activated carbon designed to reduce select pharmaceuticals, select herbicides/ pesticides, vOCs, BPA and PFOA/ PFOS” as well as remaining tastes, odors, and sediments. Clean, high-quality drinking water flows through the tubing and to the system faucet.
• RO Product Water Faucet The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened. It has a variable flow handle. To comply with plumbing codes, an air gap is built into the faucet drain water connection. “claims of pharmaceuticals, VOC, BPA and PFos reduction not certified by IAPMO R&T.

THINGS TO CHANGE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION

FEED WATER
The water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system must have the qualities listed in the specifications. Municipal water supplies most often will have these qualities. Well water may need conditioning: have the water tested by a water analysis laboratory and get their recommendations for treatment.
IMPORTANT: For water with a hardness greater than 10 grains (at 6.9 pH) the use of a softener is recommended. Failure to install a softener will reduce the life of the Reverse Osmosis cartridge.
RO DRAIN CONNECTION
A suitable drain point and air gap (check your state andlor local codes) are needed for reject water from the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge.
REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) FAUCET
The RO product water faucet installs on the sink or on the countertop next to the sink. It may be installed in an existing sink spray attachment hole, or a hole may be drilled. Space is required underneath for tubing to and from the faucet, and for securing the faucet in place. All three faucet tubes are supplied already connected at one end to the faucet.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION
The Reverse Osmosis System should be installed under a sink.
PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION

1. Before starting, close the hot and cold water shutoff valves.
2. Temporarily place the filter assembly into planned location. Check position of items and space required for installation. Ensure tubes may be routed without kinking.
3. Remove the filter from planned location and set aside.

FEED WATER SUPPLY
Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan, then install a cold water supply fitting.

A. PREFERRED INSTALLATION

A typical connection using the included water supply fitting is shown in the illustration below.

1. Close the cold water shutoff valve and open the faucets to relieve pressure and drain water from the sink cold water pipe.
2. Disconnect the existing cold water line from the water shutoff valve.
3. Make sure that the water supply fitting’s gasket is inside the female threaded portion of the fitting.
4. Install the water supply fitting onto the cold water shutoff valve, where the existing cold water line was removed, and hand tighten. Be careful not to cross thread or overtighten.
5. Connect the existing cold water line to the male threaded portion of the water supply fitting and hand tighten. Be careful not to cross-thread or overtighten.

B. OPTIONAL INSTALLATION

• A typical connection using a compression-type fitting (not included).
• NOTE: Be sure to turn off the water supply and open a faucet to drain the pipe. Complying with plumbing codes, install a fitting on the cold water pipe to adapt 1/4″ OD tubing. A typical connection is shown in the illustration below.
• NOTE: If threaded fittings are used, be sure to use pipe joint compound (metal fittings only) or thread sealing tape on outside threads.

REVERSE OSMOSIS DRAIN ADAPTER (for under sink installation)

INTRODUCTION

• A suitable drain point is needed for the drain water from the Reverse Osmosis system. Options are.
• Install the included Drain Adapter As shown below, install the included drain adapter onto the sink’s drain pipe above the P-trap. This is normally used for under-sink installations.
• NOTE: Do not install drain adapter on a line coming from a garbage disposal.
• Use another existing drain in the home Run the drain tube from the RO system directly to an open drain. This is often used for remote location installations.
• NOTE: An incorrectly connected drain point can cause water to leak from the faucet’s air gap.
• NOTE: Local code may restrict the type of drain installation to use. Either drain installation type, if permitted by code, may be used in under sink or remote location installations. Consult a plumber if you are not familiar with plumbing procedures.
• INSTALL DRAIN ADAPTER
• The drain adapter indluded with the RO system is designed to fit around a standard 1-1/2″ O.D. drain pipe. In the following procedure, install the drain adapter above (upstream of) the P-trap. Be sure to comply with local plumbing codes.
• NOTE: Before starting this procedure, inspect the drain pipe under the sink for corrosion, and replace if necessary, before continuing with installation.

1. Test fit the two halves of the drain adapter onto the sink drain pipe, about 6 inches above the Ptrap. Make sure that the quick connect (Q.C.) fitting is toward the direction of the RO faucet

NOTE: Locate so that the drain tubing from the Reverse Osmosis faucet will run straight to the adapter, with no dips, loops, or kinks.

1. Using the hole through the drain fitting as a guide, mark the pipe where a 3/8″ hole will be drilled, and remove the drain adapter from the pipe.
   NOTE: Do not dril through the drain adapter’s Q.Cc. fitting, as this could damage the o-ring.

2. Drill a 3/8″ dia. hole in the pipe and remove flash.

3. Clean the sink tailpiece to assure a leak-tight fit.

4. Place the halves of the drain fitting back onto the sink drain pipe. Use a pencil or similar pointed object to align the Q.c. fitting so that it is centered on the hole you drilled.

5. Assemble the nuts and screws, as shown in the illustration above, and tighten both sides equally to secure the drain adapter halves onto the pipe. Do not overtighten.

6. Do not connect gray tubing to the Q.c. fitting at this time. It is done after the RO faucet is installed.
