REMOTE LOCATION FOR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

FIGURE 22

Possible remote locations for the RO nearby the kitchen

or bathroom sink include;
(1) a basement area underneath the sink, and
(2) an adjacent room or closet.

Longer lengths of tubing (see parts list) and telephone

cable extension (purchase locally*) may be needed.

You can run the drain tubing directly to one of several

suitable open drain points, as shown below, bypassing

the faucet airgap and  p-trap drain. This type of drain is

the preferred over the p-trap drain adapter. Check your

local codes. Always be sure to provide an air gap

between the end of the hose and the drain point of 

2 pipe diameters or 1 inch, whichever is larger.
*Telephone cable extension must consist of a male con-

nector on one end and a female connector on the other to

keep proper polarity. Polarity may be reversed if a cou-

pler is used and monitor will not work.
