BEFORE INSTALLATION BEFORE INSTALLATION Overview Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Premier ZeroWaste® Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System. Water quality concerns are becoming more of a focus for the public. You may have heard about contaminants in the drinking water such as Arsenic, Chromium, Cryptosporidium or Giardia. There may also be some local water issues such as high levels of Lead and Copper.
BEFORE INSTALLATION Using Quick-Connect Fittings Cutting Connecting Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting. Make certain to push the tubing completely into the connector until it comes into contact with the internal tubing stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.
BEFORE INSTALLATION Operational Parameters NOTICE Installation must comply with state and local plumbing regulations. NOTICE Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality, without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

INSTALLATION Drill a Hole for the Faucet in a Porcelain Sink For Marble Counter-tops, we recommend contacting a qualified contractor for drilling a hole in a marble counter-top. Note: Most sinks are predrilled with 1½” or 1¼” diameter hole that you can use for your Drinking Water faucet. (If you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see Step 1). NOTICE NOTICE Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily. Use extreme caution when drilling.
INSTALLATION Top Mount Twist Faucet Installation NOTICE The faucet being used is an air-gap faucet, but is being used for this non air-gap installation. The red and black color coded ports on the faucet will remain unused. ONLY the blue port will be used. This RO Faucet is equipped with quick-connect fittings for easy tube installation. Refer to the guide on Page 2 for more information on how to use these type of fittings.
INSTALLATION Adapt-a-Valve Installation NOTICE Do not use Teflon tape with the Adapt-A-Valve™.
INSTALLATION Green Tube Connection (Cold Supply) Step 15: Location the 1/4” Green tube in the parts bag. Insert one end of the green tube into the plastic adapt-avalve that is attached to the cold water supply.
INSTALLATION Tank Ball Valve Installation Step 22: Teflon tape must be applied in a clockwise direction. Wrap (7 to 12 turns) around the male pipe threads (MPT) on the stainless steel fitting on top of the tank. Step 23: Thread the quick connect ball valve (supplied in the parts bag) onto the stainless steel connector on the tank. Note: Do not over-tighten plastic connections. Reverse Osmosis Module & Pump Assembly Mounting Step 24 : The parts bag has 4 self-tapping screws.
OPERATION OPERATION Startup Instructions ! WARNING To prevent the possibility of electrical shock, clean up any water on cabinet floor and dry all water from outside of RO unit. Congratulations! You have completed the installation of your new Reverse Osmosis system. Please Follow the Startup Instructions. Step 2: Turn both of the adapt-a-valves on and check the system for leaks and tighten fittings as necessary.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Changing the Filter Cartridges Your RO module is equipped with valve heads which will automatically turn off the water supply to each filter when the filter is released, thus you do not need to turn off the incoming water supply at the Adapt-a-Valve. The RO faucet must be off when filters are replaced. To make the removal of the filter cartridges easier, the heads & cartridges may be swiveled up to 90 degrees as shown in the pictures below.
RO Membrane Replacement (2 - 5 Years) Replace: MAINTENANCE RO Membrane - 50 GPD (Green Label PN# 105331) Membranes have a life expectancy between 2 and 5 years, depending on the incoming water conditions and the amount the RO system is used. This reverse osmosis membrane is critical for effective reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS). The product water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily.
MAINTENANCE Step 8: Drain the system completely and then follow the startup procedure - filling then draining two full tanks of water. Step 9: Replace the post-carbon filter once complete. Check Air Pressure in the Tank NOTICE 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.
MAINTENANCE Replacing the Faucet Battery Step 1: Turn the handle on the storage tank ball valve to the “off” position and lower faucet handle to “on” position. ALIGNMENT NOTCH Step 2. Remove the faucet handle cover at the slot - (A). Note: Water will dribble out of the spout, use caution when handling the electronic components. Step 3. Slide the old battery out and replace with new battery. Once the battery is pushed into the clip a red and blue light will flash indicating proper installation.
