-- WHERE TO INSTALL THE RO SYSTEM --

The RO assembly and storage tank is designed for

installation under the sink, usually in the kitchen or

bathroom. The RO assembly mounts on a wall sur-

face, or can lay on the cabinet floor next to the storage

tank. Hanger washers and wood screws are included

for cabinet wall mounting. The RO product water

faucet installs on the sink, or on the countertop next

to the sink (pages 6 and 7).

Note: Tubing lengths allow for the removal of the

assembly from the hanger washers for servicing. If

tubing lengths are shortened for neater appear-

ance, it may be necessary to keep the assembly on

the hanger washers for service.

You can also locate the RO assembly and storage tank

in any remote location from the faucet, observing

safety guides on page 2. You do need a nearby water

source and drain point (see page 18).
Water Supply: To provide supply water to the RO

system inlet, a saddle valve is included to install

(where codes permit) on a cold water pipe, page 5. Pro-

vide other pipe fittings for tubing connection, as typi-

cally shown on page 5, where saddle valves are not

allowed.
Drain Point: A suitable drain point is needed for re-

ject water from the RO membrane. A floor drain,

laundry tub, standpipe, sump, etc., is preferred, as

shown in the remote locations drawing, page 18. A

sink p-trap drain adaptor is included to install where

codes permit, as an optional drain point (page 6).
