Step C: Install RO Filter Assembly
INSTALL REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTER ASSEMBLY
The Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly is mounted on
hanger washers.
See Fig 10. The hanger washers allow you to lift the
filter assembly from the washers without any hardware
removal. When planning your installation, you need to
leave room for changing filters.
Complete the following steps to install your Reverse
Osmosis Filter Assembly:
1. Remove the cover.
2. Locate mounting slots on back inside of the assembly.
See Fig 10.
3. Hold the assembly up to the wall surface and mark
locations for the hanger washers. See Fig 10. Mount the
unit high enough to allow room to change filters without
taking the unit off of the wall.
4. Fasten the hanger washers to the wall using the wood
screws provided.
5. Hang assembly on washers.
6. Replace cover.
Step D - Install Storage Tank
The fitting on the supply tank may need to be tightened
7-8 full turns to get a good seal.
Do not overtighten.
INSTALL STORAGE TANK
1. Apply of thread sealing tape (2 wraps clockwise) to
the threads on the nipple at the top of the tank. See
Fig 11.
2. Locate the tubing connector. See Fig. 11. Tighten the
tubing connector onto the tank nipple 7-8 full turns,
being careful not to cross thread or overtighten.
3. Do not connect the tube at this time. This will occur
later in the assembly.
4. Place the storage tank next to the Reverse Osmosis
Assembly. The tank can be placed upright or on its
side.

SELECT LOCATION OF REVERSE OSMOSIS
FAUCET MOUNTING HOLE
You will need to select the location of the Reverse Osmosis
Faucet. You have three options to choose from:
• Use an existing sink top hole (Must be 1.27 cm in diameter)
• Drill a new hole in the sink
• Drill a new hole in the countertop next to the sink
1. Determine where you are going to install your Reverse
Osmosis Faucet.
2. Check to ensure the Reverse Osmosis faucet will mount flat
against the mounting surface.
3. Visually review the routing of the tubes from the Reverse
Osmosis filter assembly to the faucet. Check to ensure there
is adequate tube routing space between the faucet and filter
assembly.
4. If drilling is needed, drill a 1.27 cm diameter hole in the
mounting surface.
IMPORTANT: Drilling holes into countertops and sinks
should only be performed by an installer who is qualified
FIG. 10
for drilling such materials. Drilling of surfaces made of
stone or solid surface materials such as granite, marble,
Corian™ or other plastic resin products or sinks made
of porcelain or stainless steel may cause permanent,
irreparable damage to the sink or countertop surface.
INSTALL REVERSE OSMOSIS FAUCET
1. Locate and organize your RO faucet install parts. Refer to
Fig. 12.
NOTE: There may be extra parts in the faucet kit not used
for this installation.
2. Assemble the faucet body, base and stem, as shown in
Figure 12.
3. Feed the threaded stud down through the sink hole until the
faucet base is flat against the sink surface.
4. Install the plastic washer, lockwasher and hex nut onto the
threaded stud, in the order shown in Figures 12 & 13. Do
not overtighten hex nut.
5. Locate the faucet adapter fitting, and thread it onto the stud
base, as shown in Figure 13. Do not overtighten.
