INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
The Economy Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Treatment Systems have been designed for ease of installation and
serviceability and are constructed with the finest materials available. Using these instructions will ensure a successful
installation.
All systems must be installed in accordance with applicable city, state, provincial and local plumbing codes. For installation
in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for
installation of this system. The use of saddle (piercing) valves is not permitted. To ensure a system continues to operate
at its optimum level, it is necessary to have a routine maintenance and replacement schedule (below - Maintenance
Requirements). Frequency at which filters must be changed will depend on quality of feed water supply and level of system
usage.
These RO systems contain a replaceable treatment component critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specification, as defined by WaterGroup
to assure the same efficiency. Product water shall be tested periodically to verify the system is performing properly.
All state, provincial and local government codes regarding installation of these devices must be observed.
PREPARATION
1. Check that all appropriate components are packed with your system (Figure 1).
2. Determine locations for RO component installation. Two requirements for consideration are: access to cold water supply
line and household sink drainpipe. Specific requirements are detailed below (Component Location Requirements).
COMPONENT LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
PRODUCT WATER FAUCET - Faucet may be installed in any convenient location. Make sure underside of location is
free of obstructions.
REVERSE OSMOSIS MODULE - Module may be installed under sink or in any convenient location within 15 feet of source
water supply and faucet. The 100V power outlet should be nearby to plug in the booster pump.
STORAGE TANK - Tank may be placed in any space within 15 feet of faucet, generally under kitchen sink or in an adjacent
unused cabinet. Tubing length between components should be kept to a minimum, avoiding sharp bends or kinks.
DO NOT PLACE REVERSE OSMOSIS UNIT WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO FREEZING AND/OR DIRECT
SUNLIGHT.
MODULE MUST BE EASILY REMOVABLE FOR PERFORMANCE OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.
Mount the unit using bracket (attached) and two screws provided in the Installation Kit.
HOLD THE MODULE BY THE FILTER HOUSINGS WHEN PICKING UP OR CARRYING UNIT.
NOTE
THIS DRINKING WATER SYSTEM IS FOR USE ON POTABLE WATER SUPPLIES ONLY. SOURCE WATER
EXCEEDING CHEMICAL PARAMETERS REQUIRES PRE-TREATMENT.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY WITHOUT
ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Service Requirements - To insure the system operates at its optimum level, certain routine maintenance must be
performed. Frequency of maintenance performance will depend on feed water quality and level of system usage.
CLEAN: Each time filters are replaced
SANITIZE: At least once a year and each time membrane is replaced
Recommended Service Intervals - Replace filters as required or every 6 to 12 months depending on feed water quality.
Replace membrane as required based on periodic TDS rejection tests.
Maximum recommended service life for membrane is 60 months.
