| INSTALLATION

| PREPARATION
FOR INSTALLATION |
| |
- This system may
be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position, but must be
positioned to allow access for service and filter cartridge changing.
At the same time, the assembly should be relatively near the spigot
to maximize flow rate.
- The storage tank
can be located where it cane be removed if necessary, but does not take
away needed storage space. The storage tank can be placed on its side
without affecting the performance of the system. If there is insufficient
room under the sink, the tank may be located in an adjacent cupboard.
- Should you need
it additional 1/4" poly tubing can be purchased at most hardware
and plumbing stores.
- The sink-top faucet
should be positioned to assure a free flow pattern into the sink. It
must also be in a location that allows ready access to the mounting
hardware from under the sink.

| INSTALLATION
OF SINK-TOP FAUCET |
| |
| Most sinks
have an extra hole for the mounting of additional faucets, sprayers or soap
dispensers. If your sink does not have an additional hole, use the following
procedure. |
| |
|
|
- Using a VSR drill
with a carbide grinding burr, gently grind away enough porcelain or
enamel to more than accommodate the drill bit (about the size of a dime).
Enough surface material must be removed to expose the base metal.
- Using the 1/4"
drill bit, drill a 1/4" hole through the base metal. Operate the drill
slowly and carefully, especially when the drill is about to penetrate
the metal. If necessary use a drop of two of oil in the hole.
- Repeat step 2.
Using the 1/2" drill bit.
- Mount the sink
top factcet in the hole and using an adjustable wrench (or hand) to
hold the faucet, tighten the 9/16" nut.
*** If it is not availabe to drill a hole, you may use a faucet-bracket instead. ***

Self Piercing Valve |
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using
the "SELF PIERCING VALVE" on copper lines instead of the "easy connector"
described below. Mount and tighten the "self piercing valve" on the copper
line in a easy to reach place. Turn the saddle valve clockwise all the way
in. This drives the sharp end of a sharp metal pierce into the copper tubing
and will pierce a tiny hole. This is the "OFF" position for your new R.O.
system. Leave it like this until later in the installation process. |

supply connector by inserting the deliver-valve.
Screw the deliver-valve into the side of the water supply connector
using 3 to 4 wraps of Teflon tape.
