Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Premier Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system. Water quality
concerns are becoming more of a focus for the public. You may have heard about contaminants in the drinking water, such
as Arsenic, Chromium, Cryptosporidium or Giardia. There may also be some local water issues such as high levels of Lead
and Copper. This Premier water treatment system has been designed and tested to provide you with high quality drinking
water for years to come. The following is a brief overview of the system.
Your Reverse Osmosis System:
Osmosis is the process of water passing through a semi permeable membrane in order to balance the concentration of
contaminants on each side of the membrane. A semi permeable membrane is a barrier that will pass some particles like clean
drinking water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.
Reverse osmosis uses a semi permeable membrane; however, by applying pressure across the membrane, it concentrates
contaminants (like a strainer) on one side of the membrane, producing crystal clear water on the other. This is why RO

Stage four is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the RO membrane. This semi permeable membrane will
effectively take out TDS & Sodium and a wide range of contaminants such as Percholate, Chromium, Arsenic,
Copper, Lead as well as Cysts, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Because the process of extracting this high
quality drinking water takes time, your RO water treatment system is equipped with a storage tank.

Addition of a water softener may lengthen the membrane life.
Copper Tube: Reverse Osmosis water should not be run through copper tube as the purity of the
water will leach copper causing an objectional taste in water and pin holes may form in the tube.
Water Pressure: The operating water pressure in your home should be tested over a 24 hour

drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap
to keep the hole saw cool during cutting.
Step 2
Counter Top / Porcelain & Stainless Steel Sink
Note:
Most sinks are pre drilled with 1 ¼” diameter hole that you can use for your RO faucet.
(If you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see step 1)
Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily.
Use extreme caution when drilling. Premier accepts no responsibility for
damage resulting from the installation of faucet. Diamond tip bit recommended.

Helpful Installation Tips for the Premier Top Mount Faucet
During shipping/handling the tog
gle bolt on your new faucet may
push up out of position. Prior to the
install, hold the faucet as shown in
the picture and pull down on the
wing nut. This will ensure that the

and that your faucet will have a
good seal.
Disassembling your faucet is never
recommended as this could void
your warranty. If it is necessary to
remove the fitting at the end of the
toggle bolt you must follow the fol

Drain Saddle Installation
Step 11
Step 12
Step 13
The drain saddle must be installed at least 1 ½” above the nut
of the P-Trap elbow or cross bar from the garbage disposal to

installation. Take extreme caution to only drill through one side
of the drain pipe.
The small square black foam gasket with a circle cut out of the middle
must be applied to the inside of the drain saddle. Remove sticky tape
backing and stick to the drain saddle as shown.

Gather the pieces of the drain saddle:
Caution:
Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.
If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain saddle near it.
Installation of the drain saddle must be either above the garbage disposal, or
if a second sink drain is available, install it above the cross bar on the second
drain. Installation of the drain saddle near a garbage disposal may cause
the drain line to plug. If no other installation of drain line is available, Premier
offers drain line installation kit (part number 164020) that can be used with
garbage disposals.
Caution:
The black 3/8” drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as possible to the drain
saddle, making a downward slope from faucet to drain saddle to allow for proper
drainage. This is a gravity fed line and if there is any bend or dip in the tube, the rinse

IMPORTANT:
Measure the 3/8” black tube from faucet to the drain saddle on the
drain pipe and make a straight cut to the correct length.

at any time you notice a reduction in water production or an unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis
water, it could be time to replace the membrane. Premier recommends replacing the membrane
when TDS reduction falls below 75%.
NOTE: A water sample may be sent to Premier for a free diagnosis of your membrane
performance. To send a water sample, use two (2) clean containers and fill ½ cup of tap
water in one container and ½ cup of reverse osmosis water in 2nd container. Clearly label
each sample. Send the samples to the address listed on the cover of this manual attention
“Water Samples”. Premier will test the water and mail or call you with the results.

Check Air Pressure in the Tank
Important:
Step 3
Check air pressure only when tank is empty of water!
Step 1
Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO.

it is completely empty.
Step 2
Check air pressure in the storage tank when you notice a decrease in available water from
the RO system. Air can be added with a bicycle pump using the schrader valve that is located
on the lower side of the tank behind the blue plastic cap.
Tip:
When water from the RO faucet slows to a trickle, with the faucet still in the open posi-
tion, you may add air to the tank to purge any left over water, this will ensure that the
tank is completely empty.

combination of both. Although both forms of arsenic are potentially hazardous to your health,
trivalent arsenic is considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic.
RO systems are very effective at removing pentavalent arsenic. A free chlorine residual will
rapidly convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Other water treatment chemicals
such as ozone and potassium permanganate will also change trivalent arsenic to pentavalent
