Thank you for choosing Watergeneral Reverse Osmosis Water Systems. You now own a superb Reverse Osmosis (RO) system that effectively reducing most contaminants, organic and inorganic compound, unwanted taste and odor from tap water. It is designed to transform your tap water into distill water. Read carefully and follow the instruction in this manual before proceeding with actual installation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the equipment or other properties.
About the system Reverse Osmosis process is a separation process. Tap water enters the system, and it is separated at the 4th stage membrane filter. One side would go to the storage tank (purified water); the other side carrying all the minerals is purged to the drain. The ratio of purified water to drain water is 1:3. That means for every gallon of water you use, it will drain 3 to 4 gallons. The drain is required for the RO process to work.
INSTALLATION (for under-the-sink installation) STEP 1: TAPPING INTO COLD WATER SUPPLY CAUTION: • The water supply to your RO unit MUST come from COLD water line . Hot water will damage your RO system. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Locate cold water shut off valve under the sink and turn it off. Open cold-water faucet to release the pressure, and make sure there is no water. Put 3 turns of Teflon tape on threaded ends of the angle needle valve, or the ball valve.
NOTE: The system uses compression fitting connections: When connecting tubing to the system, first, you must unscrew the compression nut off the fitting, then pass the tubing through the compression nut about 1”, then screw on to the fitting, then use a 5/8” wrench to tighten the nut until the thread is not visible. Don’t over-tighten it. STEP 2: INSTALLING THE DISPENSING FAUCET 1. faucet base 2. small washer+ chrome plate 3. large washer 4. kitchen sink 5. bottom plate 6. lock washer 7. lock nut 8.
STEP 3: MOUNTING THE TANK BALL VALVE Do not release air from the air valve on the lower side of the storage tank. It is pre-charged at 7 psi at the factory. put Teflon tape, 6-8 turns screw on ball valve hand tight, push tubing through the nut, put tube insert, screw on the nut the tank can be positioned laying down or standing upright STEP 4: MOUNTING THE DRAIN SADDLE VALVE (don’t put in blue area) The drain saddle valve should fit most standard drain pipe.
STEP 5: SYSTEM START-UP 1. Make sure all tubing are not kin ked. 2. Turn Tank Valve to OFF position. 3. Turn RO faucet lever to continuous flow position. Lever points up. 4. Turn cold water supply main valve on slowly. Also turn input ball valve ON. When the system is pressurized, check for leaks. If a leak is found, tighten the connection. 5.
Changing Filters Procedures • • • • • • • • • • Shut off the system by turning off the water supply, and turn off the tank valve, open the spigot to depressurize Prepare a towel under the unit for water spills Use a filter wrench (part no. 566) or use hands to open the filter housing, unscrew it from right to left. To open is clockwise looking from the top. Throw away the used filter, and clean the inside of the housing by rinsing or scrubbing it with dish soap. Check condition of the O-ring.
TROUBLE SHOOTING * For more detailed tech support notes & troubleshooting go to NOTE: Turn off the system before servicing. Installation Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE No or low water production 1. Feed water valve in not turn on 2. Tank valve is not turn on 3. Tubing is kinked 1. Housing is not tighten Leak at filter housing 2. Damaged or misaligned O-ring 3. Housing has cracks Leak at fitting thread 1. Not properly tighten 2. Fitting has cracks Bad-tasting water 1. Not yet flush the system 2.
