Placement or Locating the Reverse Osmosis System
Simply place the water system on a level floor, cabinet bottom or horizontal surface.
Always assume for enough space for the system and the storage tank, and tubing to remove, move and/or adjust
for filter and membrane replacement and maintenance.
If mounting the system to a wall, cabinet side or other vertical surface, a minimum clearance of 4” will be required to al-
low for filter replacement. Please see the following procedures:
Step 1
All filter cartridges and membrane for the system are included. For Model #s RO3-UV & RO4-UV only, UV Lamp and
Housing are pre-installed.
Locate filter cartridges and single membrane (Blue label with drain connection at bottom):
Starting from the left or “FEED” side, Stage 1 insert the Orange pre-filter, next (the middle) Stage 2 insert the Blue RO
membrane (note drain connection at bottom) and lastly Stage 3 insert Green post-filter.
NOTE: Water flows from Left (Labeled: FEED) to Right (Labeled FAUCET).
In order by color: from Left to Right: Orange, Blue, Green
Applicable for Model #’s RO4 & RO4-UV, 4-Stage units only:
Inline 5 micron pre-sediment filter is clipped onto the Orange pre-filter cartridge inserted into Stage 1.
WARNING:
PLACING FILTERS AND MEMBRANE IN THE WRONG ORDER WILL ADVERSELY EFFECT THE
OPERATION OF THE RO SYSTEM
NOTE: Inserting the all cartridges:
At the blue top of each cartridge find the side with two (2) notches. Line the notches up and insert cartridge into the filter
head assembly. Once cartridge is fully inserted into the head turn clockwise and completely lock into position.
Step 2 Once filter system has been fully assembled, mark pilot holes using the bracket as a template.
Step 3 Using a drill bit or punch, drill a hole or punch as a starter hole to catch the mounting screws.
WARNING: ALTERNATIVE FASTENING METHOD MAY BE REQUIRED FOR PLASTER BOARD, PARTICLE BOARD
OR SIMILAR MATERIAL INSTALLATION. USE SAFETY GLASSES OR OTHER EYE PROTECTION TO PREVENT
POSSIBLE EYE INJURY DUE TO FLYING PARTICLES.
Step 4 Set mounting screws (provided) with screw driver. Leave a 1/4” gap between the screw head and mounting
surface to allow the bracket to slide on easily.
Step 5 Slide the bracket over the screws and hang the unit. Make sure unit is level.
