INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION The 1240 Series Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Treatment Systems have been designed for ease of installation and serviceability and are constructed with the finest materials available. Using these instructions and paying close attention to the parameters outlined within "CONDITIONS FOR USE" detailed on Page II will ensure a successful installation.
SMARTAP® WATER QUALITY MONITOR ® WaterGroup’s 12403 Series Reverse Osmosis Systems incorporate a proven performance indicator. Our patented Smartap Water Quality Monitor uses dual probe LOGIC PULSE MEMORY technology to accurately indicate membrane performance. A splitsecond power pulse compares feed water Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level with that of the product water. Then, by reversing the polarity of the electronic pulse, the probes are cleaned and kept free of chemical plating.
SADDLE-TAPPING VALVE INSTALLATION ON COPPER TUBE CAUTION: This saddle-tapping valve is not designed for installation on flex line tubing. NOTE: State, provincial and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle-tapping valves. 1. 4. Connect source water feed tubing to valve body using compression fitting. CAUTION: If no shut off valve is installed under sink, close main water valve during this Installation. a. Slide nut and sleeve onto tubing (in that order).
DRAIN OUTLET ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION NOTE: State, provincial and local plumbing codes may prohibit use of saddle-tapping drain connections and may require use of an air gap. NOTE: Location and orientation of drain outlet assembly is vital to system performance. Vertical Drain Line: Locate drain hole on a straight length of drainpipe next to "P"/"S" trap between trap and sink.
PRODUCT WATER FAUCET SITE PREPARATION Refer to Faucet Installation Instructions (Page 6) for site location and mounting hole specifications. Primary considerations for site selection are convenience of use and an open area under sink. An existing 7/8” Sink Hole will also accommodate metal faucets with air-gap connections. Always check underside of selected location for obstructions. STAINLESS STEEL SINK PORCELAIN/ENAMEL OVER STEEL OR CAST IRON SINKS 1. 1.
METAL PRODUCT WATER FAUCET INSTALLATION AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Install faucet on flat surface at least 2" in diameter. Unused 1 1/4" hole is ideal. Steps unique to a specific configuration are so noted. All other steps are common to either configuration. New Faucet Installation Refer to Faucet Site Preparation, Page 5. 8. Replacement Faucet Installation Verify size of existing hole is 1 1/4". Connect loose ends of tubing as follows: a.

ACTIVATING THE SYSTEM CAUTION: Make sure all water supply lines, drain lines, and fittings are secure and free from leakage. 1. Open source water supply valve. Close product water faucet. Check for leakage. 8. Open product water faucet and let water flow until all air has been expelled from system. 2. Turn tank valve one-quarter turn counter- clockwise to open valve (handle should be in line with tubing as it enters connection). 9. Close product water faucet.
CLEANING, SANITIZING, AND CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE 1. Mix mild cleaning solution of dish soap and clean potable water in plastic bowl. 9. Rinse manifold/housings with clean potable water. 2. Empty storage tank and relieve system pressure. Verify tank valve is open. Close feed water supply valve and open product water faucet. 10. Inspect manifold and filter housing "O" ring groove area for damage (i.e., nicks or scratches). Replace damaged components.
CLEANING, SANITIZING, AND CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE 19. CAUTION: Do not remove protective plastic bag from replacement filter/membrane cartridges until so instructed. 28. Test battery connection by activating monitor. Press push button. If an indicator light illuminates, connection is good. Install "O" rings into filter housings. Open top of filter bag enough to expose filter cap and "O" ring grooves. Place a small amount of "O" ring lubricant on surface of each "O" ring. 29.
TROUBLESHOOTING INDICATORS AND COMMON SOLUTIONS Table 5 WATER VOLUME AND QUALITY Symptom Condition Action No product water. Water supply is turned OFF. Turn water ON. Not enough product water. Low water pressure. Water supply is blocked. Storage tank valve is closed. Storage tank is depleted. Check source water line pressure. Clear restriction. Open storage tank valve. Increase product water storage capacity and/or install membrane and flow restrictor with higher output rating.
