FEED WATER

The water supply to the undercounter 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.

FILTRATION DRAIN CONNECTION

A suitable drain point and air gap (check your state and/or 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 are done on or above the sink or countertop.

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.

NOTE: See parts list on page 25 for optional parts that may be required for a basement installation.
