STEP 3: MOUNTING THE TANK BALL VALVE 

Note: Do not tamper with the air valve on low side of storage tank. It has been preset at 8-10 psi by the 

          manufacturers. 

1) Unplug the plastic cap on the top of the tank.

2) Wrap the thread 3 times with plumbers (Teflon) tape only.

3) Thread the ball valve on to the tank threaded connection. Make sure it is snug but not over tighten.

See 

<Fig. 5>

.

4) In the parts bag, locate the 1/4” yellow tube. Connect the yellow tubing to the tank ball valve,

making sure the tube is pushed in all the way to the tube stop.

5) Turn the tank ball valve off.

REVERSE OSMOSIS MODULE MOUNTING

Determine best location for the RO module to be mounted to allow for future 

system maintenance. Using the mounting holes on the bracket, mark the location 

for the mounting screws on the cabinet wall under the sink. In the parts bag, locate 

the two self tapping screws. Using an electric drill with a Phillips bit, screw them 

into the cabinet at the marked location. Hang the module on the screws using the 

mounting holes in the bracket.

6) Connect the open end of the 1/4” yellow tube to the elbow fitting

on the back of the RO Module labeled “TANK” making sure the tube is

pushed in all the way to the tube stop.

INSTALL THE CARTRIDGES

Identify each cartridge and the proper location on the system by matching 

the label on the individual filter heads and filter cartridges.

Insert each cartridge into the corresponding head with a 1/4” turn in the 

clock-wise direction. The cartridge is installed properly when the label is 

facing toward the front of the unit.
