Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink Note: Most sinks are pre drilled 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. Watts Premier accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet.
WATTS Premier Monitored (Top Mount) Faucet Installation A) Connect tubes to the RO faucet (Figure A) A This RO faucet is equipped with quick connect fittings for easy tube installation. To connect tubes, simply push them firmly into their corresponding fitting on the RO faucet until fully seated. Approximately 3/4” of the tube should go into the fitting. 1. Connect 3/8” BLUE tube. (3/8” Fitting on Toggle Bolt) 2. Connect 3/8” BLACK tube . 3. Connect 1/4” RED tube.
Adapt-a-Valve Installation Caution: Water supply line to the system must be from the cold water supply line only. Hot water will severely damage your system.
Drain Saddle Installation Continued... Step 10 The drain saddle must be mounted at least 1 ½” above the nut of the P-trap or cross bar from the garbage disposal to insure proper drainage. Assemble the drain saddle around the drain pipe at the best available location. Using Phillips screw driver tighten screws evenly and securely on both sides of the drain saddle. Keep the plastic compression nut off at this time. Caution: Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.
Reverse Osmosis Module Mounting Step 17 Determine best location for the RO module to be mounted to allow for future system maintenance. The parts bag has 2 self tapping screws. Using an electric drill with a Phillips bit, screw them into the cabinet wall 6” apart and 16” from the bottom of the cabinet. Tank Elbow Installation Step 18 Wrap (7 to 12 turns) of teflon tape clockwise around the male pipe threads (MPT) on the Stainless Steel fitting on top of the tank.
How To Use the Quick Connect Fittings on the RO Module To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed into the fitting. The unique patented John Guest® locking system holds the tube firmly in place without deforming it or restricting flow. It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting. Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into the tube stop. Pull on the tube to check that it is secure.
Congratulations! You have completed the installation of new your Reverse Osmosis system. Please Follow the Startup Instructions. Start up Instructions Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve. Open the needle valve on the brass Step 1 Adapt-a-Valve by turning counter clockwise. Check the system for leaks and tighten any fitting as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).
6 Month System Maintenance *Order filters by calling 1-800-752-5582 or buy online at www.premierH2o.com. √ Stage 1 - Sediment Filter (part #: 104017) √ Stage 2 - Carbon Block Filter (part #: 101009-White End Caps) Step 1 Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO by turning the needle valve on the adapt-a-valve clockwise until it stops. (Follow the green tube away from the RO system to find the adapt-a-valve.) Note: Water Can be saved in a container for drinking or to rinse system parts.
Annual Maintenance *Order filters by calling 1-800-752-5582 or buy online at www.premierH2o.com. √ Stage 1 - Sediment Filter (part #: 104017) √ Stage 2 - Carbon Block Filter (part #: 101009-White end caps) √ Stage 4 - VOC Carbon Block (part #: 101013-Blue end caps) √ 1/2 Cup of hydrogen peroxide or 2 tablespoons of common household bleach. Note: Sanitizing of unit is recommended. Perform steps 1 through 3 in the Six Month System Maintenance (Page 12).
This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component (the RO membrane) which is critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of this reverse osmosis membrane should be with one of identical specifications as defined by Watts Premier to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance. Membrane Replacement Membranes have a life expectancy between 2 and 5 years, depending on the incoming water conditions and the amount the RO system is used.
Check Air Pressure in the Tank Important: Check air pressure only when tank is empty of water! Check air pressure in the storage tank when you notice a decrease in available water from the RO system. Air can be added with a bicycle pump using the schrader valve that is located on the lower side of the tank behind a blue plastic cap. Step 1 Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO by turning the needle valve on the adapt-a-valve clockwise until it stops.
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. If you have your own well, you will need to have the water evaluated.
