TUBING AND FLOW RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE TUBING
TO TANK AND FAUCET
1. Measure 3/4" from the end of each remaining
piece of tubing (faucet end and inlet end) and
mark with a pencil. (Check for roundness,
smoothness, cuts, nicks, flat spots and sharp
edges).

2. Push the tubing firmly into each fitting on the
manifold until the line is flush with the fitting
collar. (If the tubing is removed, re-cut the end,
measure, mark and re-insert). Tubing must be
fully inserted to avoid leaks. To remove tubing:
depress and hold red or blue collet; pull tubing
out to remove.

3. Pull out slightly on tubing to ensure a good
seal.
FLOW RESTRICTOR
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Each time the Reverse Osmosis cartridge is
changed, you will need to replace the flow
restrictor in the drain line as well.
Be sure to wash your hands before handling inner
parts of the system.

FLOW RESTRICTOR
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Remove drain line tubing by pushing up on the
drain line collet with one hand (1) and removing
the drain line with the other hand (2).
2. Once the drain line has been removed from
the system base, grasp the end of the flow
restrictor and pull it straight out from the tube*.
If the restrictor is difficult to remove by hand, a
pair of pliers may be used to grip the end of the
restrictor to aid in removal from the tubing.
* In some instances, the restrictor may slide out of the drain
tubing as it is removed from the drain line port. If, after
removing the drain line as described in step 1, the restrictor
is no longer in the end of the tubing, check the drain line port.
Remove the restrictor from the port and proceed to step 3.
3. Take new restrictor and slide it back into the drain
tubing. Insert the restrictor by hand only. Do not
use pliers to insert. Make sure to insert restrictor
all the way into the tubing. Failure to do so could
result in improper operation of the RO system.
4. Reinsert drain line tubing in system base. Tug
lightly on the tubing to ensure that the collet is
engaged and has a proper grip on the tubing.
