Installation Guide

Installation Instructions (continued):
1. Take off the blue horseshoe clip from collet.
2. Pull out and discard the protect plug by pushing the collet inward and holding with
fingers.
3. Insert Tubing into the collet. Full engagement is 11/16” length of the tubing into the
fitting for 1/4” tubing, and 3/4” length for 3/8” tubing.
NOTE: Ensure tubing is pushed all the way to backstop.
4. Put blue horseshoe clip back on collet.
Install 1/4” polypropylene plastic tubing if your refrigerator is within 25 ft. of your RO unit.
Do not use copper tubing since an objectionable taste can result in the ice cubes. If the
refrigerator is over 25 ft from the RO Unit it is recommended to use 3/8” tubing. Install a tee
in the blue tubing between the outlet of the system and the faucet. It is recommended to
install a ball valve in the line to your ice maker to allow pressure to increase sufficiently in the
storage tank for the ice maker solenoid valve to operate properly. Leave the ball valve in the
closed position until the tank is full after the start up procedure is completed.

Start-up Instructions:
NOTE: If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator/ice maker, make sure the ice
maker is off (do not allow water to flow to the ice maker until flush is complete and the
tank has been allowed to fill completely. Connection from the RO to the icemaker
system should have an inline valve installed before the icemaker so it can easily be
closed to prevent water flowing to the ice maker during start up and periodic
maintenance. Your RO tank must be allowed to fill up fully for the ice maker system to
work properly.
1. Turn Inlet Valve and Storage Tank Ball Valve both in open position.
2. Ensure RO faucet is closed.
3. Slowly open the cold water supply valve that you closed at the beginning of this installation.
