AVOID COMMON MISTAKES !
Review the most common missed steps made BEFORE starng. This will ensure an easy and
successful installaon.
1. Prepare and install all service components such as RO faucet, drain saddle, and pri-
mary shut-o valve before installing the WOW RO System (Pages 28-30).
2. Fully pre-ll lter cartridges according to (Step 3, Page 13) to remove all air before
aaching to system.
3. When installing pre-lled lters to system, you MUST make sure they are properly
aached and engaged to the stop tabs per Step 3 (Figure 3b, Page 13) instrucons.
Filters are labeled PRE, POST and RO. Ensure each lter matches posion on RO sys-
tem manifold. (Figure 3b, and 3c, Page 13).
4. Refrigerator/Icemakers and any other appliances beyond the primary faucet: You
must install a ball valve (isolaon valve) isolang any added appliance beyond the
primary faucet. (See Figure 5, Page 17). Valve must be in the closed or o posion
during the Start-Up Procedure. (See Step 5, Page 15).
5. Before beginning Start-up Procedures (Step 5, Page 15) make sure all tube connecons
match the Figure 1 diagram on Page 3.
6. Make sure system is ONLY connected to a cold water supply (Step 1, Page 9).
7. If your connecons to and from the WOW RO System have a leak (even one drop), the
system will not work. Repair leak (see Troubleshoong if necessary, Page 37) and re-
peat Start-up Procedures (Step 5, Page 15).
8. To avoid air-gap overowing onto counter, air-gap return line must never have loops or
sags in tubing.
9. If you are not using the WOW RO installaon kit, it is crical that installers use correct
color coded tubing (See installaon kit contents, Page 10).
10. If replacing an exisng RO system, make sure you replace all old tubing with new color
coded tubing.
