Thank you for choosing APEC reverse osmosis systems.

You now own the finest water filter in America.

Please read and become familiar with instructions and parts needed before proceeding with the

installation.

(This manual is constructed for standard APEC Essence ROES-PHUV75 System.)

BEFORE INSTALLATION:

Inspect the system:

Please take the system and all the components out of the box. Inspect the system and all the connection

fittings carefully, make sure nothing is damaged during shipping. If any part is cracked or broken, please

do not proceed with the installation and contact APEC or your distributor for an exchange or diagnosis.

Recommended tools list:

x Variable speed drill

x Drill bit:1/4”

(for the drain line), 1/8” (as pilot, not mandatory), and 1/2” (for standard faucet

hole, air-gap faucet requires 1”d hole)

x 5/8”, 9/16” open-end wrench, or adjustable wrench, pliers

x Phillips screwdriver

x Utility knife, or scissors

x Teflon tape

Operating Parameter

x Operating pressure: 40 – 85psi maximum

x Feed water temperature: 40 – 100 ºF (4-37 ºC)

x Feed water TDS level: 2000ppm maximum

x Do not connect this unit to hot water source

x Install the RO in a sheltered environment, avoid exposure to hot and cold weather or under direct

sun light.

General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements

x Installation needs to comply with state and local laws and regulations.

x System must be installed indoor away from possible environmental damage

x Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected

water that may contain filterable cysts.

x This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for effective re-

duction of total dissolved solids. The product water shall be tested periodically to verify that system

is performing satisfactorily.

THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO INSTALLING THE RO SYSTEM:

Assemble the filters and housings onto the main system

Installing the system

The RO Membrane Element has already been pre-installed.

PART I. ASSEMBLE THE FILTERS AND HOUSINGS ONTO THE MAIN SYSTEM

Remove plastic/paper wrappings on the 3 filters and housings, put filters into the 3 housings, and assemble

the housings onto the main system as follows:

Stand the 3 housings upright. Make sure each housing has a rubber O-ring in its groove.

Put the Essence sediment filter (FI-ES-SED10) into the “1st stage” housing on the right.

Put the Essence carbon filters (FI-ES-CAB10) into the “2nd

and 3rd stage” housing in the

middle and left.

Starting from the 3

rd

stage housing on the left, hand twist the housing onto the main system

turning counterclockwise, one by one, for all 3 housings.

Use the wrench provided to completely tighten the housing starting from 1st-stage. Repeat this

step for the 2

nd

stage housing in the middle, and for the 3

rd

stage housing on the left.

Note: For some people it is easier to use the wrench with the system laid down (face up).

Step 1: Feed Water Connection

The RO system must be connected to the COLD water supply only!

1. Locate the Cold water supply valve under the kitchen sink (the round or oblong handle on

the right side). Turn off the incoming cold water completely by turning the shut off handle

clockwise.

Note: If the cold water shut off valve can not turn off the water, the main water supply

to the house must be shut off for the installation. Another option is to use a “self

piercing saddle valve” from APEC or from a local hardware store.

2. Feed Water Adaptor (1/2” to 3/8”): See Fig. 4. The Feed Water Adaptor comes with a

separate Needle Valve. The Adaptor goes inline onto your 1/2” or 3/8” cold water pipe. The

Needle Valve portion screws onto the Adaptor as shown in Fig. 4A.

A. 1/2” x 3/8” Female-Male Water Supply Adapter

with O-ring.

B. 1/2” x 3/8” Male-Female Converter with O-ring.

C. 1/4” x 1/8” Male Needle Valve.

PART II. INSTALLING THE SYSTEM

Space: Make sure there is sufficient space under the counter for installation (an area of about 17”L x

6”W x 18”H for the system, 11”D x 18”H for tank).

The RO system is best installed under the kitchen sink. But if that is not feasible you can install the system

anywhere where there is a cold water supply with sufficient water pressure for the chosen RO model, and

an outlet to drain off the drain water from the system.

Mounting: No need to mount the RO system on the wall. The RO system can stand in the sink cabinet

without mounting, this makes future filter change easy and convenient. If you prefer to mount the system

to the wall, please make sure it can be taken down easily for filter replacement.

Feed Water: RO systems are designed to treat both hard and soft water and can handle incoming TDS

levels up to 2,000 ppm.

3. Recommend Connection For Flex Line Riser: See Fig. 5A. & Fig. 5E Loosen nut and separate cold

water riser tube from shut off valve. Gently bend riser tube so that the Feed Water Adapter (Fig. 4) fits

onto the shut off valve. Connect the riser tube, feed water adapter, and shut off valve together and

tighten.

For Solid Copper Riser: See Fig. 5B. Follow the same procedure as for flex line. If the copper riser

cannot bend, this it’s best to replace it with a flex line riser. Fit the feed water adaptor to the shut off valve

the same way as described above.

Option Connection Point: See Fig. 5F. The feed water adapter can also be installed between the riser

tube and faucet shank. Loosen nut and separate cold water riser tube from faucet shank. Gently bend

riser tube so that the Feed Water Adapter fits onto the faucet shank. If your riser tube has no built-in

washer, then fit the cone-shaped washer provided onto the riser tube. Connect the riser tube, feed water

adapter, and faucet shank together and tighten.

Step 2: Drain Saddle Installation

Important: DO NOT REMOVE the black drain tubing from the RO system system! If you

need to extend the drain tubing please use a union connector to connect

additional length of tubing.

Note: To avoid possible drainage noise, mount drain line as low as possible on the

vertical tailpiece, or on horizontal tailpiece.

There is constant water pressure “packed” inside the RO system which blocks the drain water from back-

ing-up into the system. So the drain water is “forced-drained”, not “gravity-drained”.

1. See Fig. 6. The drain saddle assembly should be installed above the trap and on the vertical or horizon-

tal tailpiece. To reduce the drainage noise, mount the drain line as low as possible above the trap, or on

the horizontal tailpiece.

MOUNT DRAIN

SADDLE AT

EITHER

LOCATION

2. Select the location of the hole and drill a 1/4’’ hole through one side of the drain pipe then put the

self-adhesive black sponge around the hole location (See Fig. 7A and 7B).

Next, align and install the drain saddle clip with the tubing connection port onto the black sponge.

This will cushion any gap between the saddle and the pipe. Make sure the hole on the sponge is

thoroughly punched out, and is aligned to the hole on the saddle to complete the installation (See

Fig. 8)

Fig. 6

Fig. 7A Fig. 8

Test for leaks after the system is completely installed: Close the Needle Valve (turn needle handle clock-

wise all the way in to close). Turn ON the cold water supply to the sink faucet. If the Needle Valve or the

Adaptor leaks, check the connection and try applying more Teflon tape or tighten the brass nut some

more to stop the leak.

3. See Fig. 8, 8A. Make sure to align the drain saddle hole to the drilled hole perfectly.

Mis-aligning these two holes will block the drain water and cause membrane damage.

Attach the drain saddle to the drain pipe and tighten the two screws evenly.

4. Once the drain saddle is secured, push 1/4” black drain tubing into the Quick Connect fitting on the

saddle. DO NOT use a “Insert” on the drain tubing.

Fig. 8A

Step 3: Drill A Hole For The RO Faucet

Drill 1/2” diameter hole for standard RO faucet. (Air-Gap faucet: drill 1”D hole.)

For best results use a 1/2” carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.

Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes while drilling the faucet hole.

Note: No need to drill a hole if an existing hole is available:

a) Spare hole: If there is a spare hole in the sink covered by a chrome cover, simply remove the chrome

cover and install the RO faucet there.

b) Spray hose: If the spray hose is not in use, remove the hose, and mount the RO faucet there. Remember

to plug up the outlet under the main faucet. If the spray hose uses a diverter at the base of the spout, be sure

to remove it to avoid trouble later on.

c) Hanging faucet: If drilling a hole is not feasible (i.e. rental home, drill tool not available etc.), the faucet

can just hang on the cabinet door or wherever that is convenient. Be creative!

When drilling a hole for the RO faucet, choose a location that looks good, works well, and is most con-

venient for dispensing pure water. An ample flat area is required for the faucet base so that the faucet

can be drawn down tightly.

1. Faucet location: Make sure the faucet stem will be accessible from below when the hole is drilled.

If space is not available on the upper sink area, the faucet can be located on the counter top by the

edge of the sink. If the counter top is ceramic tile, the method for drilling the hole will be the same as

for porcelain sinks.

2. For Stainless Steel Sink: Before using a 1/2” carbide drill bit, an indent should be made with a

center punch to keep the drill bit from walking. A small pilot hole will also aid the drill bit.

3. For Porcelain Sink: Porcelain enameled sinks can readily be chipped if care is not exercised when

drilling the hole. Before starting the drill motor, apply firm downward pressure on the bit until a

crunching occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from walking when starting the hole. A small pilot

hole will also aid the drill bit.

Note: Immediately after the hole drilling is done, clean up all metal chips, for metal chips will

stain the porcelain!!

Step 4: Mounting The Faucet

Step 5: Positioning The System

1. Main System: The main system can stand in the sink cabinet. No need to mount the system to the

wall. If you prefer to mount the system to the wall, please make sure it can be taken down easily for

filter replacement.

2. Tank: The storage tank can lay on its side if needed. The tank works fine in this position. If the tank

cannot fit under the kitchen sink, it can be placed elsewhere up to 20 feet away from the RO system

without much pressure loss.

1. Mount the faucet as shown in Fig. 9A

or Fig. 9B.

2. Attach threaded end of faucet adapter to the

faucet metal stem. No teflon tape needed here.

3. Connect the Clear line to the faucet.

4. The faucet handle controls the flow of purified

water exiting the faucet. Turn the handle to

horizontal position to release the water and

vertically to shut off.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the UV bulb installation. Please continue to Step 7

(Page 18) to system start-up.

Option: Ice-maker Connection

If you want to connect product water from the RO to your ice-maker, you will need:

xOne T-fitting, preferably the quick-connect type fitting

xExtra 1/4” tubing long enough to go from the RO system to your ice-maker

xOne shut-off valve, preferably the quick-connect type.

See Fig.13. Before connecting the product water line from Point Z to P , add a T-fitting between point Z

to P to divert product water to both the ice-maker and the faucet.

Using RO for Ice-maker only:

If you want the RO to feed your ice-maker (fridge) only, you should still connect the RO faucet as a

2nd outlet. This allows you to drain the tank, flush new filters through the faucet rather than through

your icemaker line. You can hang the faucet by the system and not mount it.

Option: Multiple Outputs - Add Shut Off Valve:

If your RO is feeding several output points (icemaker, fridge, bathroom), you should add a Shut-Off

valve to each output line (except the RO spigot line). This way, if you ever need to diagnose a problem

in the system, you can easily shut off these lines to isolate the water flow for accurate troubleshooting.
