INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION The 12403 Series Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Treatment Systems have been designed for ease of installation and serviceability and are constructed with the finest materials available. Using these instructions and paying close attention to the parameters outlined within “CONDITIONS FOR USE” detailed on Page II will ensure a successful installation.
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OPTIONAL SMARTAP® WATER QUALITY MONITOR WaterGroup’s 12403 Series Reverse Osmosis Systems incorporate a proven performance indicator. Our patented Smartap® Water Quality Monitor uses dual probe LOGIC PULSE MEMORY technology to accurately indicate membrane performance. A split-second power pulse compares feed water Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level with that of the product water.
SADDLE-TAPPING VALVE INSTALLATION ON COPPER TUBE CAUTION: This saddle-tapping valve is not designed for installation on flex line tubing. NOTE: For installation in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system. The use of saddle (piercing) valves is not permitted. 1. CAUTION: If no shut off valve is installed under sink, close main water valve during this Installation. 4.
DRAIN OUTLET ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION NOTE: State, provincial and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle-tapping drain connections and may require use of an air gap. NOTE: Location and orientation of drain outlet assembly is vital to system performance.
PRODUCT WATER FAUCET SITE PREPARATION Refer to Faucet Installation Instructions (Page 6) for site location and mounting hole specifications. Primary considerations for site selection are convenience of use and an open area under sink. An existing 7/8” Sink Hole will also accommodate metal faucets with air-gap connections. Always check underside of selected location for obstructions. NOTE: Location and orientation of drain outlet assembly is vital to system performance.
METAL PRODUCT WATER FAUCET INSTALLATION AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Install faucet on flat surface at least 2” in diameter. Unused 1 1/4” hole is ideal. Steps unique to a specific configuration are so noted. All other steps are common to either configuration. New Faucet Installation Refer to Faucet Site Preparation, Page 5. Connect loose ends of tubing as follows: Air Gap Only: Connect 3/8” red tubing to 3/8” on drain saddle using compression nut.
