II. System Operation Parameters and Installation checklist IMPORTANT! The following conditions for the feed water supply must be met or warranty will be void and manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage to system or property. 1. Water Temperature Parameters • • Maximum: 105º F (40.6º C) Minimum: 33º F (0.55º C) WARNING: Do not allow the system to freeze, the membrane always contains water and will be destroyed if frozen.
5. System Dimensions & Specifications IMPORTANT! Please make sure there is sufficient space for the system to be installed properly. It is best to first place the system in the space to see if there is room for the system to be mounted and installed properly. Do not install the system in an area where it is exposed to extreme hot and/or cold weather or under direct sunlight. WARNING: It is recommended to mount the system on the wall with the correct screws appropriate for the mounting location.
IV. Quick Connect / Compression Fitting Installation Instruction Note: This systems is equipped with quick connect fittings. These user-friendly fittings provide superior performance and leak-free seal if installed correctly. 1. Quick Connect Tubing Installation • • • Dia. C-1 CORRECT Inspect Tubing (See Diagram C-1) - The system comes with pre-cut tubing that is cut cleanly and squarely to ensure proper connection.
3. Optional Compression Nut Fitting (See Diagram B-5) • Slip the compression nut onto the tubing. • Slide the plastic sleeve onto the tubing • Place the insert inside the tubing • Slide the compression nut up and tighten it onto the flange using a wrench. Dia. C-5 Tube Nut Sleeve Insert V. Drinking Water Faucet Mounting Hole Preparation IMPORTANT! Extreme care must be taken in drilling the hole for the dispensing faucet.
4. Drilling Stainless Steel • • • • • • • Use a hole punch and hammer to mark the location of where you want to install the faucet. Keep your taps short and control until a dent is visible, this will help keep your drill bit seated when start drilling. Apply lubricant to the drill area as drilling at high speed will create a lot of heat which can cause the metal to warp or burn. Using the ¼” (6mm) drill bit, at half speed to drill the hole. This would help prevent it from overheating.

Locate and test the main water supply valve to the house before installing the system.
Test For Leaks: 1. Make sure the feed water adapter is in the shut-off position, perpendicular to the feed connection (See Diagram D-2) Dia. D-2 2. Turn on the cold water supply to the sink faucet. 3. Check for leaks Note: If there’s a water leak, check the connection and apply more Teflon or tighten the connection more to stop the leak. Optional connection for connecting on Solid Copper Riser with Self-Piercer (Sold Separately): (See Diagram D-3) 1.
STEP 2. Drain Saddle Installation 1. Locate the optimal placement on the drain pipe to install the drain saddle. (See Diagram E-1) Note: The drain saddle should be installed above the trap and on the vertical or horizontal tail piece. To reduce potential drainage noise, it is ideal to mount the drain saddle as low as possible on the vertical pipe above the trap or on the horizontal tail piece.
