Thank you for choosing the PureDrop Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System. Before Installation Inspect the package Please open the box, and take all the components and tool kit out. Inspect them to ensure that nothing was damaged during shipping. If any part is cracked or broken, please immediately contact PureDrop Customer Support for a replacement. Identify and get familiar with the components.

Installation Tips How to use Quick-Connect fitting To connect: 1. Check and cut the tubing end squarely and cleanly with utility knife or scissors. 2. Make a mark ½ inch from the end of the tubing, this mark will help guide the tubing installation. 3. Fully insert the tubing until the mark is no longer visible. This ensures that it is sealed by the Oring inside the fitting. Pop the blue lock clip back on the fitting. This will lock the tube in place and prevent it from moving. Page 4 www.123filter.
To disconnect: 1. Remove the blue Lock Clip. 2. With the blue lock clip removed, use your thumb and index finger to hold down the lock sleeve. This will release the metal teeth holding the tube in place. While holding the lock sleeve down with that hand, use your other hand to remove the tube from the fitting. How to drill a hole on sink or counter-top 1. It’s highly recommended that you watch the YouTube video “How To Drill Faucet Holes”. 2.
Sample Installation A. Source water from Feed Water Adapter → B. Source water to water inlet next to 1st stage C. Waste water from Flow Restrictor →D. Waste water to Drain Saddle E. RO water from Automatic Shut-off Valve → F. RO water to Storage Tank G. RO water from 5th stage→ H. RO water to Drinking Faucet An Ice Maker Kit can be purchased separately to feed RO water to refrigerator and get crystal clear ice cubes and great tasting water at ease. It could make the Drinking Water Faucet optional.
Installation Steps Note: Steps 1 – 7 are independent, and can be performed in any order. Step 1: Installing the Feed Water Adapter (AFW) 1.1 Turn off the Cold Water Line via the Cold Water Shutoff Valve (CWSV) under the sink. Open the kitchen faucet to release pressure and make sure water has stopped before proceeding to the next step. Get a towel or bucket to catch water spill. Disconnect Kitchen Faucet Connector (KFC) pipe from CWSV. 1.2 Check O-ring inside AFW female end, and twist it onto CWSV.
Step 3: Installing the Drain Saddle 3.1 Choose a spot on the drain pipe that is convenient for installing the drain saddle and tubing. It is recommended that you install in a horizontal pipe to minimize dripping sounds. 3.2 Drill a 1 /4” hole on the drain pipe; paste the black sticky pad around the hole. 3.3 Cut the WHITE tubing end to make a 45 degree angle. Slip the plastic nut and front plate on the tubing.
Step 6: Installing the Reverse Osmosis Membrane 6.1 Open the membrane housing screw cap. First, you will need to disconnect the white 1 / 4” tubing from the Inlet quickfitting on the membrane housing cap (refer to How to Use Quick-Fitting section), and then unscrew (counterclockwise) the cap. A thick rubber band can be slipped on the housing body for a better grip. 6.2 The RO membrane is preserved in a sealed bag.
7.3 Connect the Flow Restrictor (point C), which is a 3-inch long cylinder with a FLOW sign laying besides the membrane housing, to the Drain Saddle (point D) with the White tubing. 7.4 On the right side of the Post Carbon Filter (FT15 5th stage), connect the Tee-fitting (point E) and the Tank Valve (point F) with the YELLOW tubing. The tank is pre-pressurized at 7-10 psi and has an air valve on the side for refilling with a bike air pump if needed. 7.
8.8 Check for leaks daily for the first two weeks after installation. Furthermore, a pan or tray can be put under the system in case of any leaks, and a Flood Alarm can be used together for better protection. Congratulations! You have successfully installed your PureDrop RO system. PUREDROP RO SYSTEM MAINTENANCE This RO system is designed with ease of use and low maintenance in mind.
system out, lay it down, and remove the housings at that point. Be careful with the tubing connections when removing the system. 3. Twist off the filter housing in a counter-clockwise direction when looking from the bottom. Use a housing wrench (the bigger one) if necessary. 4. Refer to Installation Step 1.1 to install the new vertical filter cartridges and twist the housings back on. Remember not to over tighten or it will be hard to unscrew next time.

OWNER’S MANUAL Please read this manual for useful reverse osmosis system and maintenance information. Section 1: Knowledge Base What Is Reverse Osmosis? Reverse osmosis, also known as hyper filtration, is a membrane filtration process that separates undesirable materials from water by using pressure to force the water molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Note: You may or may not have these contaminants in your water. The percentage rejection rate is for reference only. Percentages may vary since water chemistry varies in each water supply. Does Reverse Osmosis remove pharmaceuticals from water? Yes, the 5-stage RO with carbon pre-filters can remove most of pharmaceuticals from water. An activated carbon filter gives these contaminants a charge so they are absorbed and removed. Will a reverse osmosis water system taste as good as the water I pay $5.
● Get a bucket under the tank and remove tank by disconnecting the ball valve. ● Dump the water from the tank by turning it upside down (through the top stem). You may add air from the front valve to help emptying the water. ● Use a gauge at the front air valve to check tank pressure. It should be within 7-10 PSI. If pressure is too low, you can use a bicycle pump to add more pressure to the tank. ● Re-connect tank to the system and turn on the water supply.
Faucet Leaks or Drips Possible Causes and Solution for water leaks from faucet spout: Adjust faucet by turning the tee bar located under the handle to provide a small amount of free play in the handle when it’s shut off. Should this not work, repair or replace the faucet. Leaks from beneath the handle: Repair or replace the faucet. What is an ASOV and what does it do? ASOV is automatic shut-off valve.
