Installation Checklist
It's recommended that you create a checklist to ensure you don’t miss any important steps. We've created one for you below but you should also use the Owner's Manual during this process to ensure proper installation:
- The system can be installed directly under the sink, or remotely if you need more space.
- Keep in mind where you'll be installing the faucet. You may use an existing hole in the sink or need to drill a new one.
- Go ahead and gather the tools according to the Owner’s Manual.
- You'll want to gather and inventory the installation parts and accessories that came with the unit.
- Now, you can turn the cold water supply off and open/turn on the sink faucet to release pressure.
- Install the Cold Water Supply Fitting to the water supply line.
- You can now install the Drain Adaptor to the sink’s drainpipe (not applicable if installing remotely). Pro Tip: Make sure to install the adaptor above the P-trap. It should be in a position where the black drain hose can run from the Osmosis faucet to the drain without kinks, loops, dips, or bends.
- You're ready to place the Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly into the preferred location. If mounting the unit, make sure to leave enough room to easily change filters.
- Go ahead and install the storage tank but don't connect the tubing yet.
- Now, determine the sink top location for the faucet if you haven't already.
- Install the faucet onto the hole and connect the loose end of red tubing to the proper port on the faucet base.
- Last part here is to cut the tubes to your desired length and connect appropriately to the unit, supply, drain, and tank. Then follow the instructions in the next section to get the RO unit ready for use.
Sanitize, Test, and Purge Checklist
Continue to follow the Owner's Manual carefully when performing the next steps.
- Sanitize the system with household bleach as described in Step G of the Owner’s Manual.
- Open the water supply to Pressure test the system for about 2 hours and examine for leaks.
- Purge the new unit. This rinses out any carbon fines or loose material from the filter cartridges.
