A suitable drain point is needed for drain water from the

Reverse Osmosis system.

REMOTE INTERIOR LOCATION

The Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly and storage tank

may also be installed in a remote interior location away

from the Reverse Osmosis Faucet. You will need a near-

by water source and drain point.

See Fig. 5.
