LOCATION OF SYSTEM
The reverse osmosis system can be installed under or near a sink or
any other water supply. The RO assembly can be placed on the sink
cabinet floor in any other location that does not apply pressure on
the disconnect elbows or tubing. A nearby suitable drain point is also
required for the drain (waste) water.
NOTE: Keep the lengths of tubing short. Longer lengths of tubing will
decrease inlet pressure and ultimately system performance.
An optional booster pump can be used on the supply line to
increase inlet pressure.
NOTE: All plumbing should be done in accordance with state and
local plumbing codes.
Some codes may require installation by a licensed plumber.
Check with the local plumbing authority prior to installation.
All components and tubing should be located in an
area which is not exposed to freezing temperatures.
Do not expose unit or tubing to direct sunlight.
Water Supply: To provide supply water to the RO system inlet, a
garden hose connection fitting is included with the system. Other
types of feed supply fittings are available to allow hookup to a variety
of feed sources. The feed water valve should be located as close to
the manifold assembly as possible. USE A POTABLE COLD WATER
SUPPLY ONLY. Softened water is preferred as it will extend the life
of the RO membrane elements. Other forms of pre-filtration may be
necessary depending on quality of incoming water.
THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM cont.
Drain Point: A suitable drain point is needed for reject (waste) water
from the RO system. A floor drain, laundry tub, standpipe, sump, etc.
are all acceptable. If discharging into the utility sink or standpipe,
an air gap of greater than 1/2-inches above the flood rim must be
provided.
An optional 3/8” quick connect sink p-trap drain adapter is available
to install as an optional drain point where codes permit.
Do not connect the system drain line to the dishwasher drain or near
the garbage disposal. Back pressure from these units may cause the
air gap to overflow.
RO Manifold Assembly: The RO system can be installed in either a
horizontal or vertical orientation. Installation in the basement is also
an option. One possible location is near the laundry/ utility sink where
cold potable water and drain access are close. The location chosen
should allow adequate clearance and accessibility for membrane
element changes.
