INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
STEP 1 POSITION SYSTEM
The R/O system needs both a water supply and
access to a drain. The R/O system is designed to
fit under most sinks. The kitchen sink is the most
common location for the R/O install. Remove all
system components from boxes and determine
the location for placement of the Filter Pac/R/O
module, tank, and faucet.
If you desire to hang the Filter Pac/R/O module,
use mounting screws, placing them to align with
holes in the bracket (make sure the cabinet wall
is thick enough to support the Filter Pac/R/O
module and that the mounting screws will not
pierce through the wall). Hang Filter Pac/R/O
module to assure sufficient space is allowed.
Remove Filter Pac/R/O module from the wall for
now and continue with install.
STEP 2 FAUCET INSTALLATION
1. Check for an extra hole in the sink. You must
drill a 1¼" hole for the faucet if the sink does
not have one.Determine Location of Faucet
Hole: Check underneath sink before drilling.
Make sure there are no obstructions. Drilling
a Stainless Steel Sink: Drill a 1¼" hole with a
hole saw or hole punch for an air-gap faucet.
Smooth out rough edges with a file if nec-
essary.Porcelain/Enamel-Coated
or Cast Iron Sink: The manufacturer recom-
mends having this type of sink professionally
drilled because of possibility of chipping or
cracking. If you are attempting to drill, use ex-
treme caution. Obtain the proper tools neces-
sary to drill through the sink material. Follow
the drill manufacturers instructions for your
type of sink. Place an old towel under the
sink to catch any metal filings and to make
clean up easy. After drilling, clean up metal
filings quickly to avoid staining the porcelain.
2. Install Air-gap Faucet: Pre-assemble faucet
prior to installing on the sink. Place the white
spacer onto faucet stem flat side toward tub-
ing and open end upward. Slide spacer up the
stem leaving enough room for the thickness of
the sink. Place the washer onto the stem and
thread on the 9/16" nut up to the spacer. At-
tach the plastic 3/8" faucet adapter fitting to
the base of the faucet stem (Do not over-tight-
en) (see A in Figure 1 page 6).
3. Guide the (2) tubes and the faucet stem through
the hole on the sink until the faucet rests on
top of the sink. Center the faucet over the hole.
Position the faucet so the air-gap hole and the
faucet lever point toward the sink basin (in case
drain tube plugs causing water to spill out of
the air-gap hole). Insert the slotted washer un-
der the sink between the white spacer and the
base of the sink. Tighten the 9/16" nut securing
the white spacer tight against the sink (see B in
Figure 1 page 6). Faucet may require reposition-
ing before final tightening. Remove short pack-
ing tubing from top of faucet and insert faucet
spout by pushing spout straight into the hole
Stainless
until it seats.
STEP 3 EASY TAP ADAPTER INSTALLATION
Turn off cold water supply to the sink faucet
and relieve pressure by opening the cold water
faucet. (Repair any existing plumbing sink leaks
before continuing). Follow water supply from the
cold water supply valve, toward the sink faucet,
until you reach a coupling nut (may be at the
