PART III. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM

Space: Make sure there is sufficient space under the counter for installation (an area of about

12”Lx6”Wx18”H for the system, 11”diam x18”H for tank).

The RO system is best installed under the kitchen sink. But if that is not feasible you can install the

system anywhere where there is a cold water supply with sufficient water pressure for the chosen

RO model, and an outlet to drain off the waste water from the system.

Mounting: No need to mount the RO system on the wall. The RO system can stand in the sink

cabinet without mounting, this makes future filter change easy and convenient. If you prefer to

mount the system to the wall, please make sure it can be taken down easily for filter replacement.

Step 1: Feed Water Connection

See Fig. 5D: The RO system must be connected to the COLD water supply only!

1. Locate the Cold water supply valve under the kitchen sink (the round or oblong handle on the

right side). Turn off the incoming cold water completely by turning the shut off handle clock-

wise.

Note: If the cold water shut off valve can not turn off the water, the main water supply to the

house must be shut off for the installation. Another option is to use a “self piercing

saddle valve” from APEC or from a local hardware store.

2. Feed Water Adaptor (1/2”): See Fig. 5. The Feed Water Adaptor comes with a separate

Needle Valve. The Adaptor goes inline onto your 1/2” cold water pipe. The Needle Valve por-

tion screws onto the Adaptor as shown in Fig. 5.

The “cone-shaped” washer provided is optional. If your pipe already has a built-in cone washer,

then no need to use this one.

3. For Flex Line Riser: See Fig. 5A. Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from faucet

shank. Gently bend riser tube so that the Feed Water Adapter (Fig 5) fits onto the faucet shank.

If your riser tube has no built-in washer, then fit the cone-shaped washer provided onto the riser

tube. Connect the riser tube, the feed water adapter, and faucet shank together and tighten.

For Solid Copper Riser: See Fig. 5B. Follow the same procedure as for flex line. If the cop-

per riser cannot bend, then it’s best to replace it with a flex line riser. Then fit the feed water

adaptor the same way as described above.
