Run one of the high-pressure hoses from the output of the HP pump (O ring sealed fitting) to the O ring 
sealed fitting at the end of the membrane that is marked IN. 

 
A minimum hose length of 3 feet/1M is required for pulsation dampening.  The hose can be coiled 
where needed. 
 

Run the second high-pressure hose from the outlet of the RO membrane housing to the pressure control 
valve in the control panel. Do not over tighten the high pressure fittings.  They are O-ring sealed and 
need little torque to lock only. 

  

PRODUCT WATER TUBING

  

  
Connect the product water tubing from the center fitting(s) of the membrane housing(s) to the bottom 
inlet  of  the  flow  meter,  in  the  control  panel.    Connect the  tubing  from  each  output  port  of  the  3-way 
valve to your water tank and to the taste/test station of your choice. 
  

CAUTION:  UNDER  NO  CIRCUMSTANCES  SHOULD  THE  PRODUCT  WATER  LINE  BE 
ALLOWED TO BECOME BLOCKED WHILE THE SYSTEM IS RUNNING. 
DO NOT INSTALL SHUT-OFF VALVES ANYWHERE IN THIS LINE.  
  
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW CHLORINATED WATER FROM YOUR STORAGE TANK TO 
FLOW BACK INTO THE R.O. MEMBRANE. 

  
You  may  directly  “T”  your  product  water  line  into  the  tank  vent  (Refer  to  the  Flow  Diagram).    This 
avoids  chlorinated

 

water  to  back  flow  from  your  water  tanks  into  the  R.O.  membrane  and  does  not 

require a new fitting in your tank.   

  

When using a spigot as the taste/test station, be sure you have no shut-off valves in the product water 
line.  A hand pump style spigot, with a check valve 

only

, is acceptable.  If using this type of spigot for 

two  sources,  install  a  low-pressure  check-valve  in  the  product  line  and  “T”  it  into  the  existing  hand 
pump spigot line.  
 

  

REJECT WATER TUBING/HOSE 

  

Connect  the  outlet  of  the  pressure  control  valve  on  the  control  panel  with  a  reject  thru-hull  of  your 
choice (preferably above the water line).  
 

HARDENER / pH NEUTRALIZER KIT

 

 

Install  the  hardener  /  pH  neutralizer  housing  at  a  serviceable  location  in  line  with  the  product  water 
tubing  from  the  diverter  valve  on  the  control  panel  to  the  freshwater  storage  tank.  Observe  the  flow 
direction indicated on the housing.  

 

 

THRU-HULL (not supplied) 

 

The boat’s designated intake thru hull should be located in an area that will always be in the water with 
the boat is used under normal running conditions. 
A speed boat scoop could be helpful.  Installed with the opening facing the bow, it typically generates a 
small amount of pressure while moving through the water.  It is important not to place the scoop thru-
hull directly forward of a speedometer pickup.  It is also wise not to place the intake thru-hull slightly 
aft or outboard of a holding tank, head or galley sink overboard discharge.
