of your system configuration.

b.To remove the tubing from the filter – push down the seal ring to the filter body with the thumb and forefinger while simultaneously pulling on the tubing as shown above. Some mild resistance to pulling out the tubing is normal. Removing the tubing will be impossible without first fully depressurized the Tap Master as described in step 4. Immediately trim off a ¼” from the end of the tubing with the scissors. Make sure tubing end is smooth and round before inserting it into the replacement filter. NOTE: A rough or oblong tube end will leak.

c.Insert the tube end about a ¼” into the replacement filter fitting then pull back gently to ensure a sung fit. Repeat step 5 for the other end of the filter. Immediately discard used filter. Repeat step 5 for each of the next replacement filters.

6.Yearly sanitation is recommended on all of our RO systems. The best time to do this is when you are changing your filters. Drain the system, including the tank, and then disconnect the blue tubing from the shut-off valve to the tank. Put approximately ¼ to ½ teaspoon of Hydrogen Peroxide or common household bleach into this tube. If you use an eyedropper, this will be easier. Reconnect the blue tube to the shut-off valve and follow normal start-up procedures, including draining the tank. If you have an icemaker hookup installed, be sure to close the ball valve in the line to the refrigerator or turn off the icemaker until the peroxide or bleach is flushed from the unit.

7.Remount the Tap Master, and SLOWLY open the main water line to the Tap Master. For Tap Master UV & ULTRA reconnect power adapter. Then open the tank valve slowly. Failure to repressurize slowly may result in system damage. Water should now be flowing from the RO sink spigot. Allow the water to run until the stream falls to a thin gentle flow. Initial discharge may be accompanied by a harmless discoloration due to loose carbon. Close the RO sink spigot, and allow 3 hours for the reserve tank to refill. A second tank flushing may be necessary depending on initial tank fill level.

disconnecting the unit, and enough room for performing general service on the unit. Typical locations are on either right or left side, near the back wall. Use supplied mounting clips as a template to mark mounting screw locations. Tap Master should be mounted vertically where the drain line out is on the bottom of the Tap Master. See Fig 8 & 12.

2a. Mounting Permeate Pump (optional equipment) - Mount permeate pump side by

side with the tap master using supplied mounting clip and screws. IMPORTANT: permeate

pump must be mounted with indicator arrow pointing up.

3.Install refrigerator kit (optional) – Installation may vary according to make, model, age, and equipment level of your refrigerator. Make sure refrigerator icemaker and water center are turned OFF. Clean area below and around refrigerator thoroughly. Use care when rolling out refrigerator. Flooring may become scratched, gouged or damaged from moving refrigerator. Consult your local licensed contractor or plumber for trimmed-in refrigerators, or refrigerators without rollers. Roll out refrigerator. Unplug refrigerator electric plug. Locate water line in for refrigerator. (Yours may already be connected to a water line from wall. If so use local angle-stop to shut off water. Disconnect female fitting. See Fig. 13.) Plan the route for the water line from the Tap Master™. Drill ¼” holes through the lower cabinetry, high along the back wall just below the drawers. See Fig. 9. Make sure cabinet contents are removed, prior to drilling, and ¼” tubing does not come into contact with drawers, doors, or sharp objects. Smooth the holes free from splinters and sharp edges. [Alternate route for

refrigerator line -- run ¼” refrigerator tubing along the baseboard, and enter the kitchen sink cabinet by drilling a ¼” opening in the bottom board of your kitchen sink cabinet, towards the front baseboard.]

Connect the female metal fitting from the refrigerator kit to the male metal fitting on the refrigerator. See Fig. 14. Make sure all male metal fittings are thoroughly Teflon taped to prevent leaks. Push tubing through the cabinetry holes from the refrigerator to the Tap Master™ RO. Allow 2-4’ of extra tubing at the refrigerator, and tie it up so that it cannot be crushed or otherwise damaged. Make sure the cut is straight, the edge is completely smooth, and the tube is rounded. A scratched, gouged, damaged, or oblong end will leak. Insert the line marked “to refrigerator” into the blue and white shut-off valve connected to the Tap Master™ RO. Push tubing all the way in, then pull back gently, to check fit. Most push-pull fittings take about a ½” of tubing inserted into them. Do not roll back refrigerator until the Tap Master™ is fully installed and operational. Make sure shut off valve is in the OFF position, where the blue handle will be perpendicular to the body.

4.Install drain saddle clamp and drain line – Identify a vertical section of drainpipe with enough space to mount the drain saddle clamp. See Fig. 8 & Fig. 10. Drainpipe material can be either metal or plastic. Remove hole from the template supplied with drain saddle clamp, and peel off its backing. Place the template on the previously identified location of drainpipe
