NOTE: The following Instructions refer to Page IV, Figure 1.B., Item 1.
1. Hand-tighten the ball valve onto the RO storage tank.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten ball valve as this may strip threads
or compromise the “O” ring seal.
2. Slidecompressionnutover3/8”whitetubing.

NOTE: The following instructions refer to Page IV,
Figure 1.B, Items 2 & 3.
NOTE: Refer to Page 2, Inter-Component Connections for
instructions on how to install tubing.
1. Install ball valve (located inside of master pack box) onto the
1/4”storagetanknipple.Usethreadsealingtapetosealthreads
between ball valve and nipple.
2. Connect3/8”whitetubingbetweenmodule

3. The basic installation is complete and system is ready for
activation (see Page 10).
NOTE: With the storage tank empty, ensure the air-cell pre-charge
is set to manufacturers instructions marked on tank. Use a hand
power air pump to top up if necessary.

NOTE: Optional stem elbows have been supplied to allow
installations with limited space to be simpler. Connect the
stem elbow into the inlet, faucet, tank and drain parts as
requiredbeforeconnectingtubing.
