FEED WATER
The water supply to the undercounter Reverse Osmosis system must have the qualities listed in the specifications (see the Specifications Guidelines section). 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.
CAUTION: 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 membrane. See the Specifications Guidelines section for additional information on the possible need for a softener.
DRAIN POINT
A suitable drain point and air gap (check your local codes) are needed for reject water from the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge.
RO FAUCET
The RO product water faucet installs on the sink or on the countertop next to the sink. Often, it is 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 faucet connections and installation procedures are done on or above the sink or countertop. Refer to illustration above.
BASEMENT INSTALLATION
If installing in a basement, leave enough tubing in place during installation to be able to move unit to floor for ease at servicing and making filter/membrane changes. Additional tubing and fittings required.
