Starting Your Installation
Preparation
Determine the location for the installation of the system. Avoid locations where the system might come in contact with hot
water pipes or other hazards.
Determine the location for the outlet pipe.
Determine the location for the inlet pipe.
Source & Drain Water Saddle Valve
Shut Off the Water
Locate the water shut-off valve for the cold water feed line of your mains supply. Accidentally hooking up the system to the hot
supply line will permanently damage the membrane (see condition for operation). To assure you are using the cold water line,
turn on both the hot and cold tap. After the water is arm to the touch, feel the pipes under the sink. It will be easy to identify
the hot and cold pipes.
Close the cold water valve. Turn on the cold water tap only to assure that the line is completely shut off and the line is drained.
If no shut off valve is located under the sink, turn off the main supply at the entry to the house.
Installing the Drain Clamp
Select a location for the drain hole based on the design of the plumbing. Position the drain outlet saddle on the drainpipe.
Allow adequate space for drilling. Tighten the bolts evenly on both sides. Avoid over tightening.
Using the opening in the drain outlet saddle as a guide, drill a ¼” hole in the drain pipe. Clean any debris from the saddle and
threads.
Installing the Supply Feed
Connecting the red pipe to the saddle valve is not difficult,
remove the nut for the valve and put it over the pipe, then
push the small copper ring over the end of the pipe and
push the insert into the end of the pipe. Then push the
end of the pipe into the valve assembly and tighten the
nut (DO NOT over tighten).
When fitting the valve make sure the saddle valve is in
open position. With a spanner fit the saddle valve to a 15-
9 mm pipe. Once the saddle assembly is fitted put the
other end of the red pipe in water container and close the
tap on the saddle valve to pierce the pipe, you may need
to open and close this several times to clean the bore off.
