How to Install a Reverse Osmosis Permeate Pump

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Mounting Clip Install Install permeate pump mounting clip onto the RO system manifold If the RO manifold is not pre-drilled for the permeate pump mounting clip

   Hold the mounting clip in the desired location (the tubing lengths provided in these instructions apply when the pump is mounted on the front/left of the RO manifold) and use a permanent marker to mark the hole locations.
   
   The mounting clip should have included mounting screws.
   
   Use the appropriate sized drill bit to drill the holes in the manifold.
   
   NOTE:
   To avoid damaging the filter sump located behind the new hole locations, remove the filter sumps before drilling.
2. 2

   Step 2: it will be necessary to drill the manifold to hold the mounting clip in place.

   Ensure that you have the “Brine Out” and the “Permeate Out” ports toward the top of the pump. ,, In order to remove the tubing from the Push-In connector, you need to press and hold in the collet ring and simultaneously pull out the tubing.
   
   NOTE:
   Forcibly removing the tubing without holding in the collet ring is likely to damage the connector or the tubing, or both.
   
   This could cause leaks.
