INSTALLATION
STEP 1: Install cold water supply fitting. Use either the included
garden hose connector or any of the other optional feed fittings.
STEP 2: Install optional drain adapter
STEP 3: Make tubing connections
STEP 4: Install RO assembly
STEP 5: Put system into operation
NOTE: Consult a licensed plumber if you are not familiar with
plumbing procedures.
Step 1: Install Cold Water Supply Fitting
A female garden hose thread connector fitting is included to be able
to hook up to a garden hose or hose bib (spigot). Keep the length
of garden hose as short as possible to minimize pressure loss. A
variety of other feed fitting and feed valves are available to be able to
connect to other existing plumbing. Check with your dealer or contact
Hydro-Logic. Comply with local plumbing codes.
WATER SUPPLY VALVE
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the water supply before installation
Cold water pipes vary in size and style. The installer will determine
type of valve that will be used. Install a valve on the cold water
supply pipe to adapt 1/2-inch OD tubing. If threaded fittings are used,
be sure to use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on outside threads.
Turn the valve off.
Step 2: Direct black drain line to an appropriate drain
location or install optional drain adapter.
The optional 3/8” quick connect drain adapter must be installed on
the main sink drain above the P-trap. The drain adapter is designed
to fit 1-1/2-inch (3.8 cm) sink drain pipe. The black drain line may also
be directed directly into a drain point or outside. The drain water
can be re-used for a variety of applications including watering your
landscape plants, trees, shrubs and lawns. The drain (waste) water
contains the majority of the contaminants in your source (tap) water.
The PPM’s of the drain water are typically 33% higher than the
source water. A certain amount of drain water in necessary to flush
the contaminants away from the membranes and prevent them from
fouling or scaling prematurely. DO NOT restrict the black drain line.
Let it flow freely.
