Apec Water Ultimate RO-QUICK90 - Step 1: Feed Water Connection

4
INSTALLING THE SYSTEM
Space: Make sure there is sufficient space under the counter for installation (an area of about
14”L x 6”W x 6.5”H for the system, 11”D x 18”H for tank).
The RO system is best installed under the kitchen sink. But if that is not feasible you
can install the system anywhere where there is a cold water supply with sufficient
water pressure for the chosen RO model, and an outlet to drain off the drain water
from the system.
Feed Water: RO systems are designed to treat both hard and soft water and can handle incoming
TDS levels up to 2000ppm.
Note: Please remove the 2 white plastic zip ties on the RO-QUICK90 system. This is
for shipping protection only.
Step 1: Feed Water Connection
The RO system must be connected to the COLD water supply only!
1. Locate the Cold water supply valve under the kitchen sink (the round or oblong handle on
the right side). Turn off the incoming cold water completely by turning the shut off handle
clockwise.
Note: If the cold water shut off valve can not turn off the water, the main water supply
to the house must be shut off for the installation. Another option is to use a “self
piercing saddle valve” from APEC or from a local hardware store.
2. Feed Water Adaptor (1/2” or 3/8”): See Fig. 1. The Feed Water Adaptor comes with a
separate Needle Valve. The Adaptor goes inline onto your 1/2” or 3/8” cold water pipe. The
Needle Valve portion screws onto the Adaptor as shown in Fig. 2.
