*THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES ON THE REVERSE OSMOSIS DRINKING WATER SYSTEM BEYOND THOSE SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT THEY MIGHT EXTEND BEYOND THE ABOVE PERIODS. THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF WARRANTOR UNDER THESE WARRANTIES IS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE COMPONENT OR PART WHICH PROVES TO BE DEFECTIVE WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD, AND WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. NO WARRANTOR DEALER, AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE, OR OTHER PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO EXTEND OR EXPAND THE ARRANTIES EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED ABOVE.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential
damage, so the limitations and exclusions in this warranty may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty applies to consumer-owned installations only.
Non-potable Water Sources: Do not attempt to use this product to make safe drinking water from non-potable water sources. Do not
use the system on microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality without an adequate disinfection before or after the
system. This system is certified for cyst reduction and may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
Arsenic Reduction: This system shall only be used for arsenic reduction on chlorinated water supplies containing detectable residual free chlorine at the system inlet. Water systems using an inline chlorinator should provide a one minute chlorine contact time before the reverse osmosis system.
Nitrate/Nitrite Test Kit: This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27mg/L nitrate and 3mg/L
nitrite in combination measured as N. It is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40
psig) or greater. This system is supplied with a nitrate/nitrite test kit. Product water should be monitored periodically according to the
instructions provided with the test kit.
TDS Test Kits: TDS test kits are available by calling 1-800-949-8220 or check the water testing section of your local phone directory.
Installations In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires installation be performed
by a licensed plumber and do not permit the use of saddle valves. Plumbing code 248-CMR of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
must be followed in these cases.
Product Water Testing: The Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for the effective reduction
of total dissolved solids. Product water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis component: This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the
efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant performance.

Plan Your Installation
Read through the entire manual before beginning your installation. Follow all steps exactly. Reading this manual will also help you get all the benefits from your system.
Your Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System can be installed under a sink or in a remote location. Typical remote sites are a laundry room or utility room. Review the location options below and determine where you are going to install your system.
UNDER THE SINK LOCATION
The Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly and storage tank may be installed in a kitchen or bathroom sink cabinet. See Fig. 4. 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 nearby water source and drain point. See Fig. 5.
CHECK SPACE REQUIREMENTS
Check size and position of items for proper installation into location chosen.
NOTE: For best system performance, the feed water to the system should be softened or have hardness less than 10 grains per gallon, with no iron.
