Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink Note: Most sinks are predrilled with 1 ½” or 1 ¼” diameter hole that you can use for your RO faucet. (if you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see step 1). Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily. Use extreme caution when drilling. Premier accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet.

Tighten the compression nut securely with a wrench.
3/8” Black Tube Connection from faucet Note: The tubing must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as possible to the drain saddle, making a downward slope from module to drain saddle to allow for proper drainage.

6 Month System Maintenance Part Number Step 5 Clean all filter housings (bowls) with a mild soap solution and rinse with water. Check O-rings and lubricate with water soluble lubricant. KY Jelly® , Canola oil and other water based lubricants can be used, petroleum based lubricants (such as Step 6 The sediment filter has a cloth like appearance. It should be in the 1st Stage on the side with tubing connections. Caution: Check O-rings to make sure they are still in place.
Annual Maintenance Step 1 Annual sanitizing of unit is recommended. Turn off incoming water supply. Remove sediment & carbon filters from filter housings. Step 2 Open Membrane vessel and remove the membrane from the membrane vessel. Replace empty membrane vessel onto the unit. Step 3 Leave filters out, replace the last two (of three) empty filter housings (hand tight) onto unit.
Step 3 Pull firmly on the membrane to remove from the housing and discard. Unwrap new membrane and lubricate the o-rings with water soluble lubrication such as KY Jelly ® before inserting into housing. Insert end with the two black O-rings into the cap. Twist the membrane as you push firmly into the cap. (25 GPD membrane part #: 110009) (50 GPD membrane part #: 110019) Step 4 Step 5 Replace the vessel onto the cap by turning clockwise. Tighten securely.
Check Air Pressure in the Tank Note: Check air pressure when tank is empty of water! Check air pressure in the tank when you notice a decrease in available water from the RO system. Step 1 It is recommended that you drain the tank of water, and then pump up the RO tank in order to ensure all water is out of the tank. Air can be added with a bicycle pump. Step 2 Once all water in the tank is purged out, check air pressure of the tank. If you added air to the tank, it will be higher than 5 - 7 psi.
TROUBLE SHOOTING Problem Cause Solution 1. Low/Slow Production Low Water Pressure Crimps in tubing Clogged pre-filters Fouled membrane Assure a minimum of 40 psi incoming water pressure. Premier sells a booster pump if home water pressure is low. Maker sure water supply is turned on and Adapta Valve is all the way open Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary. Replace pre-filters. Replace membrane and clean flow restrictor. 2.
Arsenic Fact Sheet Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It must be measured by an arsenic test kit or lab test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can obtain the results from your water utility contained with in your consumer confidence report.
