Gasket Air Gap Module Horseshoe Clip Washer Trim Ring Standoff Nut Water In Connection Figure 3 THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM 9 Rev B B. Assemble Faucet The tubing and fasteners are assembled to the faucet before the faucet is placed in position. If the air gap feature is used, place the gasket in position on the faucet. Slide the decorative ring over the tubing connections and up to the bottom of the faucet. Slide the standoff onto the threaded tube, followed by the standard washer and nut. Connect the blue 3/8-inch product tubing by firmly pushing it into the connector. If using the air gap module, push the black 3/8-inch tubing onto the small hose barb from the collar. The horseshoe clip is positioned around the threaded pipe under the sink and above the standoff. If putting above ground/cabinet level, a sturdy, permanent shelf is recommended. 12 Rev B THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM Recommended Placement Positions Locking Bar The Merlin assembly should be positioned in one of two ways. The first position is with the unit standing upright using the support leg with the sumps horizontal. The second position, sets the unit on end so the manifold is horizontal and the sumps are pointing up. The tubing is directed upward and the locking bar is down to lock the tubing connections. Each fitting also has a graphic symbol molded into the elbow with a corresponding symbol on the manifold. First Position Connector Symbol Second Position Connection Flushing (optional) Feed-Inlet Concentrate Product Tubing Color Blue Natural Black Blue O WARNING: Be sure to lubricate the O-rings on the fitting elbows prior to inserting into manifold. WARNING: Do not turn the incoming water valve on until the locking bar is in place. NOTE: If the installation is not using the optional flush tank, the top connection will not have tubing. Do not remove plug unless you are attaching the tubing and the flush tank. THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM 13 Rev B When all of the connections have been made, use the locking bar to hold the fittings in position. Match the symbols on the locking bar to the corresponding symbols on the manifold. Symbols Figure 6 Locking Bar STEP 6 SYSTEM STARTUP 1. If the flush tank is not installed, the 1/4-inch port on the manifold must be plugged. Remove new membrane elements from packaging. CAUTION: Elements contain a foodgrade preservative. Lubricate element O-rings, brine seals, and sump O-rings with silicone lubricant. Pressure Test System To check for leaks, the system must be filled with water and brought up to operating pressure. Open faucet until water runs. 14 Rev B THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM 3. NOTE: When the faucet is initially turned on, water may temporarily sputter from the air gap until the air is purged. Allow 1 to 3 hours for any trapped air noise in the system to subside. [. . . ] NOTE: If the two RO membrane elements were replaced the system should be flushed for one hour. The preservative is not harmful but may affect the taste of the water. The RO system is now ready for use.
