Pre-installation Check List
1.
Read through and familiarize yourself with these instructions and the installation process. This will
ensure you have the proper tools, parts, and abilities to install the system before beginning, rather
than having to stop halfway through because you are missing something or are unable to do
something.
2.
Check local plumbing codes and follow any that apply to your installation. Going against plumbing
codes is illegal, and can cause problems. AFW is not responsible for any problems resulting from
improper installation or installation that is a violation of local plumbing codes.
3.
Determine installation locations, including feed water supply, drain, faucet, filter system, and storage
tank. Ensure you have room for everything, and plan room for future filter changes.
4.
Familiarize yourself with the quick connect fittings. Your system uses quick connect fittings. There is
a collet ring at the end of the fitting that grips the tubing and holds it in place. To remove, simply hold
the collet ring against the fitting and pull the tubing out. To replace tubing, just push it into the fitting, it
will slide in easily about 1/4” then stop, apply a little more pressure and it will slip in another 1/8” or so
and seal in place.
5.
Familiarize yourself with any purchased upgrade kits. If you ordered any kits to upgrade your system,
read through the instructions on how to install it, as it is usually easier to install any upgrades before
installing the system.
6.
Check to ensure there are no missing parts. Use the parts checklist on the following page to make
sure all the parts listed are present. If anything is missing, call us and we will get replacements out as
soon as possible.
7.
Assemble the tools you will need. Depending on where the system is being installed and the
plumbing, the tools needed may vary. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, drill, wrenches,
pliers & Teflon tape. You will also need a sharp knife or scissors to cut the tubing (when cutting
tubing, ensure the end is smooth and straight, this will ensure a good seal and prevent leaks). This
list is just a start, reading through the instructions and determining where you are installing the
system will give you a better idea of everything needed.
8.
Ensure the following conditions are met:
Feed Water
Condition
Minimum
Maximum
Inlet Pressure
40 psi
80 psi
Temperature
40° F
100° F
pH Level
3
11
TDS Level
0 ppm
2000 ppm
For pressure less than 40psi a booster pump will be required. If pressure is less than 50psi a booster
pump or permeate pump is recommended. If other conditions are not met contact us for a solution.
NOTE: Failure to meet the above conditions will void the warranty on the system.
