WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The following instructions are for installation on copper tubing. If you have iron,
steel, brass, PVC or other pipe providing the cold water supply in your home,
consult a qualified professional for installation.
All state, provincial and local laws and regulations must be followed in the
installation and use of your distiller.
It is advisable to first connect the prefilter to the distiller, then finish the
connection to the saddle valve (see page 14).
Your distiller should be installed on a level surface in a well ventilated area near
a water supply line and a standard household grounded electrical outlet.
Do not connect to a water supply that is under 20 lb (138kPa) or over
120 lb. (828kPa) pressure and under 36˚F (2˚C) or over 100˚F (38˚C).
You will need an adjustable wrench and a flathead screwdriver to hook up the
distiller to the water supply.
Do not install distiller closer than four (4) inches (10cm) to nearest vertical
surface. Maintain a minimum clearance of fourteen (14) inches (36cm) to the
top of the distiller.
INSTALLING THE PREFILTER
A length of food-grade tubing and the required fittings have been packed with
your distiller.
1) Cut a short piece approximately 12 inches (30.5cm) long from the supplied
roll of tubing. Insert one end of the piece into the smaller hole in the nylon
elbow and tighten.
2) Take the other end of the elbow and turning clockwise, attach to the inlet
valve at the rear of the distiller.
3) Insert the other end of tubing as far as possible into the quick disconnect
at the outlet end of the prefilter. Make sure that the arrow on the prefilter
is pointing in the direction of the water flow. It should not be possible to
remove the tubing unless the grey release collar is pushed into the quick
disconnect.
4) Attach the remaining
piece of plastic tubing
to the quick disconnect
at the inlet end of the
prefilter.
5) Screw the velcro strap
onto the distiller and
attach the prefilter using
the velcro.
