DRAIN FLOW CONTROL

The flow control is required for proper operation of the

Reverse Osmosis system. See illustration below. The

flow control, located inside the push-in elbow fitting on

he drain port of the Reverse Osmosis assembly,

keeps water flowing through the membrane at the

required rate. This ensures that the system produces

the best quality product water.

Periodically check the flow control to be sure the small

hole through it is clean and unrestricted.

If the flow control requires service, review the

exploded view above. Assemble and disassemble as

shown. If the flow control remains in the manifold

when the push-in elbow fitting is removed, it will be

necessary to remove the drain port’s collet and o-ring,

as shown in the next section, to retrieve it.

ASSEMBLING COLLET AND O-RING

1. Remove the collet and o-ring from the fitting with a

small screwdriver. Do not scratch the internal walls

of the fitting port.

2. Clean collet port, lubricate with silicone-based

lubricant, and insert the o-ring seal into the bottom

of the port.

3. Push the collet inward until it locks in place.
