INSTALLATION GUIDE LINE:
I. DRILLING THE HOLD FOR THE FAUCET
The faucet should be positioned with aesthetic function and convenience in mind. An ample flat is required for the faucet base so that it can be drawn tight. Condition may be present which could eliminate the need to drill a hole in the sink.

a) A hose previously installed in the sink. Covered by a chrome hole cover, remove the cover and mount the faucet.

b) Remove the spray hose and plug the outlet under the main faucet.  Be sure to check if the spray uses a diverter at the base of the support. If so, remove it to avoid trouble later. Spray diverter may pop up and shut off water to the main faucet.

If space is not available on the upper sink area, the faucet could be located on the counter top at the edge of the sink. Be careful to watch for obstructions below, i.e. drawers, cabinet walls, support braces, etc. If the counter top is ceramic tile, the method for drilling the hole would be the same as for porcelain sink.

Caution: The sink drilling process, although not complicated, requires a certain amount of caution and forethought.  Porcelain sinks can be chipped if care is not exercised when drilling the hole for the faucet assembly.


PROCELAIN ENAMEL SINKS

A 1/2” hole is required. To drill the hole, begin with a small drill bit as guide hole.  Use a 1/2” carbide tipped drill. When starting a drill, keep a firm and steady downward pressure. Slowly begin through the porcelain portion of the sink so that chipping is cut down to a minimum.  When the hole is completed, clean the area of metal chips (Metal chips on porcelain will stain very fast).

STAINLESS STEEL SINKS


Same as porcelain sink.  When the hole is completed, file away any severe roughness and clean the area of metal chips.

II TAPPING INTO COLD WATER LINE
Caution: The water supply to your unit MUST be from the COLD WATER LINE
Hot water will severely damage your RO System.
1. Locate cold water angle shut off valve underneath the sink and turn it off. Open cold water faucet to release the pressure. On single handled faucet, the hot water may have to be turned off to prevent any hot water cross over. If water continues to come out of faucet with angle valve turned off, the house main will have to be turned off.


2. Locate feed water adapter in the installation kit. The angle needle valve should be installed into slip joint adapter before assembly is connected to Feed water line.  (Teflon tape must be used on angle valve to prevent leaks)
3. Disconnect the cold water riser tube and install the slip joint adapter see <fig.2>
4. Please follow <fig. 3> for Flex line and Solid Copper Riser installation.

 

-3-


A. FLEXLINE: Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from faucet shank. Gently bend riser Tube so that slip joint fits onto faucet shank. Replace the existing Cone washer with new washer provided with the installation kit onto cold water riser tube. Reinstall riser tube onto slip joint adapter and tighten.

B. SOLID COPPER RISER TUBE: Same procedure as flex tubing except you must cut a piece of the riser tube about 3/4” to 1” so the slip joint adapter can fit between faucet and riser tube (Teflon tape must be used on slip joint adapter to prevent leaks).

5. Self-piercing saddle valve is available for copper tube installation without drilling on shutting off water valve available. Instruction is printed on valve package. Other feed water valves available. Please check dealer.

III. MOUNTING THE TANK BALL VALVE

Note: Do not tamper with the air valve on the storage tank. It has been preset and screwed on with blue cap by the manufacturers.


1. Wrap the threads on the top of the water storage tank 3 times with plumbers (Teflon) tape only. Make sure it is tight but not over tight.
2. Connect the tank ball valve assembly to the top of the water storage tank. <Fig. 4>

3. Connect the yellow tube from the RO module to the water storage tank.

IV.TUBING CONNECTONS

Caution: When cutting supplied tubes. Predetermine the length by measuring the distance between the components to be connected.

No tools are needed to connect 4 colored tubes

V. ICE MAKER HOOK-UP (OPTIONAL)

If your refrigerator is within 25 feet of your RO unit, install 1/4” polypropylene plastic tubing. (Do not use copper tubing as an objectionable taste can result in ice cubes).  If your refrigerator is over 25 feet away, it is recommended to use 3/8” tubing. Install a tee in the blue tubing between the final filter and faucet. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the line to your ice maker to allow pressure to increase sufficiently in the storage tank for the ice maker solenoid to operate properly. Leave the ball valve in the closed position until the tank is full after startup procedure is completed.

Replacement parts & preventive maintenance
Please contact your local dealer for service and parts of your RO Unit.

UNIT START-UP
1. Turn on cold water supple valve and the under sink water valve. But close the tank ball valve.
2. Open RO Faucet (black lever to the up position)
3. Check system for leaks, tighten as necessary.
4. About 5 minutes. The water starts dripping out of the RO Faucet, let it drip for about 10 minutes. Flip the handle to the closed position. It will now take several hours (3.5) for the storage tank to fill.  Depend on local water pressure.

DO NOT DRINK WATER FROM THE FIRST TANK PRODUCED BY YOUR NEWLY PURCHASED SYSTEM.

5. After the tank is full (you will hear the water stop), flush the system by placing the RO faucet in the open position until the water is completely discharged.
6. Upon complete discharge of storage tank, flip handle to closed position on RO faucet and let the refilling process begin. This process could take 2 to 2.5 hrs to complete.
7. After the second tank is filled, you can now enjoy the purified water.
8. Check for leaks daily for the first week and periodically thereafter.
9. You may notice milky colored for the first week. It is the air bubble in the water. It is normal and safe.

FILTER CHANGE PROCEDURES (Refer Fig-A on Page 2)
1. Shut off the water supply (B) by turning clockwise until complete close.
2. Turn off the tank ball valve (N) by turning 90 degree.
3. Use one hand to hold the system, and the other hand to turn the wrench clockwise to open the housing.
- 5 -
Note: If it is too tight
  To open the housing, you may try to open faucet (Q) or unplug the fitting.
  Tubing and the systems in order to reduce the air and water pressure inside the
housing.
4. Use filter housing wrench (not supply with systems) to open the filter housing (A).
5. After opening the housing, remove the used filter (5uM Sediment filter), and put the new filter into the housing.
Make sure the O-Ring is in place, and turn the housing counter-clockwise to close the housing. Make sure the sticker is in the center position.
6. Repeat step 4-5 on the filter B (Precarbon filter, GAC) change.
7. Turn on the water supply (B) and make sure no leaks.
8. Pull up the RO faucet (Q) and let the water drip for about 10 minutes. The water flow from RO faucet is about 1 gallon per hour, if the water flow is less than 1 gallon per hour or less than 0.1 gallon during 10 minutes, it may be a signal to change filter C (precarbon CTO). Then follow step 4-5 for filter C change. 
9. If the water flow is OK, then turn on the tank ball valve (N), after 1 minute, then off RO faucet and complete the filter change procedures.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR RO SYSTEMS


PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

Milky colored
water

Air in system

Air in the system is a normal occurrence with initial startup of the RO system. This milky look will disappear during normal use with 1 or 2 weeks

Noise from
faucet

Air gap faucet
Location of drain saddle
Restriction in drain line

Inherent sound with air gap faucet.
Relocate the drain to horizontal location
Clear blockage sometimes caused by debris from garbage disposal or dishwasher

Small amount
of water in
storage tank

System just starting up.
Air pressure in storage tank is low

Normally it takes 4-6 hrs to fill tank. Low water pressure and/or temperature can reduce production rate. Add pressure in storage tank, the pressure should be 5 to 6 psi when the tank is empty.

Slow production

Low water pressure

 

Crimps in tubing

Clogged pre-filters
Fouled membrane

This system requires min 40 psi incoming water pressure. An booster pump may be
needed in low water pressure area.
Check tubing strengthen or repair as
necessary.
Replace pre-filters
Replace membrane

Water taste or
smell offensive

Post carbon is depleted
Fouled membrane
Sanitizer not flushed out

Replace post carbon
Replace membrane
Drain storage tank and refill it overnight

No drain water

Clogged flow restrictor

Replace flow restrictor

leaks

Fitting not tightened
Missing o-ring
Misalignment of hole in drain saddle

Tighten fittings as necessary.
Contact local deal
Realign drain saddle.
