Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
11. Install the RO Assembly and Storage Tank
Under counter Installation:
The RO assembly is usually mounted to the right or left sink cabinet sidewall, taking into consideration the
space available and the tank location. Generally, the tank is placed in the rear of the sink cabinet while the
RO assembly is positioned toward the front for better accessibility.

An effort should be made to minimize the distance between the tank and RO assembly to help assure an

12. Make Final Tubing Connections (see Figure 1)
With all of the components in place, the final tubing connections can be made. When routing tubing be-
tween components, several guidelines should be observed.
Tubing runs should generally follow the contour of the cabinets rather than interfere with the cabinet stor-
agearea.Striveforneatnessandanorderlytubing“ow”usingfasteners(e.g.insulatedstaples)tosecure

To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an installer drilling through existing electric
wiring or water pipes in the area of installation:
•Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of a drilling tool when selecting the position
to mount the filter bracket.
