to do so may reduce the effectiveness

of the system and will void the warranty.

Consult your local water treatment utility

the quality for your water and use the table

below to record your results for future

reference.

Your Water

Pressure Range: 40–100 psi

(2.8–6.9 bar)

Temperature Range: 40–100°F

(4.4-37.8°C)

Total Dissolved Solids < 2000 ppm

Maximum Hardness*

†

: 10 gpg

(171 mg/L)

†

: < 0.1

Chlorine in Water Supply: < 2 ppm

Water Supply pH Limits: 3-11

Turbidity: 5 NTU Max.

Date of Purchase:

If the hardness of your water is above 10 gpg (171 mg/L), lime scale will build

up rapidly on the membrane inside of the RO membrane cartridge. Scale

buildup will plug the RO membrane cartridge and make the system ineffective.

We do not recommend the HP-RO-1000 to be used with water in excess of 10 gpg

(171 mg/L) hardness, unless the water is softened prior to the reverse osmosis

system.

INSTALLATION 2. Selecting the Faucet Location precautions before installing and using your HP-RO-1000 system. NOTE: The HP-RO-1000 may be installed under a sink or in the basement. NOTE: The HP-RO-1000 is installed vertically. NOTE: Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps. NOTE: For standard installation on 1/2" 14 NPS threads (most common thread on kitchen faucets) cold water line. 1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter to the cold water supply line.

INSTALLATION continued 3. Mounting the Faucet A. Pre-assemble the base. The rubber washer should be in place below the base. The two toggle bolts should be inserted through the base and the rubber washer. The bolts are screwed into the spring-loaded toggle. B. Place the base assembly over the hole in the sink. The two toggles should pass through the hole far enough to spring fully open. If they are not open, unscrew the bolt until the toggle moves down to clear the sink. C.

INSTALLATION continued 4. Mounting the System CAUTION support the weight of the cartridges and help prevent strain on the water lines. A. Select location under sink or in basement where unit is to be mounted. The head assembly is mounted in a vertical position. B. When mounting the HP-RO-1000 two screws are supplied cabinet 14-1/2". This will provide clearance to change the cartridges. The two screws will be 14" apart and level. Screw the two screws into the wall.

INSTALLATION continued 5. Connecting the Faucet CAUTION Water supply to the tee should have a separate shut-off valve. If it does not, a separate shut-off should be installed. A. Locate the 3/8" blue tubing from the faucet and place a mark 5/8" from the end of the tubing. Moisten the end of the tubing with water and insert into the quick-connect B. Gently pull back on the tubing to ensure it is connected section off of the tubing and reconnect.
