9. Connecting the Faucet to the System
A) Locate the red (1/4") tubing (reject water line) from the drinking
water faucet . This tube is the smaller of the red tubes . Place
a mark on the tubing 5/8" from the end . Moisten the end of the
tubing with water and insert tubing into the quick-connect fitting
on the flow restrictor found on the right side of system behind the
membrane .
If tubing is not firmly connected, leaking will occur. It is important for
the tubing to be inserted all the way until the mark is flush with the
outer edge of the quick-connect insert .
NOTE: Tubing and sanitary inserts may be quickly and easily removed
from the fitting if necessary by pressing the collar around the fitting
then pulling the tubing with your other hand .
B) Insert the 1/4" blue tube from the faucet into the postfilter. The
fitting is at the top left of the RO System.

10. Connecting the Storage Tank to the System
CAUTION:
When tank is full, it weighs approximately 28 .5 pounds .
Provide ample support under the tank .
A) Remove sanitary cap from top of tank and apply 3 or more wraps
of plumber tape to threads on tank . Thread the tank valve onto
the top of the tank opening and then tighten 1-1/2 to 2 turns with a
wrench . Turn tank so handle is in line with tubing .
CAUTION:
The tank /valve connection will leak if not properly
sealed . Plumber tape will normally seal the threaded connection .
B) Locate the green 1/4" tubing . Place a mark on the tubing 5/8" from
each end . Moisten one end of the tubing with water and insert
with a twisting motion into the port of the tank valve until the 5/8"
mark is flush with the quick connect fitting. Then locate the tank
near the system's installation area .
C) Cut the tubing to correct length . Install free end of tubing into
white quick-connect fitting on the post filter tee on the right side.
B
Do not cut tubing .
D) Place entire system over mounting screws on wall and slide
down .
CAUTION:
Make certain system is firmly attached to wall to prevent
it from falling and possibly becoming damaged .
NOTE: Use caution not to bend or pinch the tubing behind the system
while attaching to mounting screws .
