 QUICK RO Installation

If you have a little space available near a washing machine hookup, this is a very simple and quick method of installing a Reverse Osmosis unit. This method requires no plumbing skill at all!

Faucet 'Y' adapter

All you need is a faucet ‘Y’ adapter and a hose adapter fitting for the RO unit.  If you want to hang the unit you will need two screws and maybe some drywall plugs.
Turn off the COLD water valve, which is usually the valve on the right. Unscrew the hose from the washing machine. Screw on the faucet adapter. Now screw the washing machine fill hose back on to one of the two adapter water supplies

 

Slip the hose adapter fitting onto the end of the RO fill line (usually red). It just pushes on. Now screw the hose adapter from the RO unit onto the water supply fitting on the faucet ‘Y’ .

Take the wastewater drain line from the RO unit (usually black) and insert it into the washing machine drain pipe. Make sure it cannot slip out.
   

Last, secure the clean water line (usually blue) into a collection container, bucket or tank. Turn on the main water valve that you shut off to start the installation. If your ‘Y’ adapter has on/off valve, make sure they are turned on. Open the stopcock on the clean water line and the unit should start to fill. Make sure there are no leaks anywhere. Water will begin to come out the wastewater drain line immediately and in a few minutes you should start to see some output from the clean water line.

I suggest that you also consider adding a float valve to your collection tank. This will automatically shut off the RO and the water supply when your tank is full. We have these in stock. If you have questions please check with us for help!
