For anyone else watching, here's what's missing from the video:

1) At 3:50 when connecting the 'Compression Ball-o-fix' to the 'Mains valve', the video has the Ball-o-fix fitted in the wrong direction. There is an arrow on it indicating water flow. The system should be set up as follows:

Mains pipe -> Ball-o-fix -> Mains Valve (with vertical isolator tap) -> Black push-fit -> normal sink tap connector

2) I suggest using PTFE tape at:
* 3:50 when connecting the 'Compression Ball-o-fix' to the 'Mains valve'
* 4:11 between the black push-fit fitting and the mains valve
* 4:50 on the other end of the ball-o-fix thread

3) at 13:00 when installing the membrane, I suggest first turning off the isolator tap, then running the RO faucet to depressurise and get the water out of the system. Then you can take it apart without getting water everywhere. NB, there will still be some residual water in the membrane housing.

4) At 16:10 on the 2nd flush, you shouldn't get any water come out of the faucet, as the water should all be going straight out to the drain. Perhaps if you leave it long enough it does?

5) At 16:20 After the 2nd flush is complete, if you try and run the RO faucet, your flow will probably be down to a dribble at best. You have to wait for the tank to fill before you can expect good water flow.

6) Regular maintenance: Once a week you should close the tank valve, open the L1 valve, and let it run for 2 minutes to clear out debris from the membrane.

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO, SIMPLE TO FOLLOW. BRILLIANT

Does the pressure guage only show correct pressure when the tank is full? Mines showing 10 psi as the tank is filling ? water pressure in my house seems good, never had any issues with anything else 🤔

[pdevine]

What size is the hole cutter ? The one you showed is for wood at 1/2 inch which is too small and then you show a metal one which is not detailed

[sivermahdy]

Have you got a video of the whole assembly as I’ve come to a job and it’s all apart.

[UmmattiMuhammadan]

Hi. How long do we wait for the first flush & subsequently the second flush? IOW, how do we know the tank is full to flush it please? Thank you in advance.

Howz is the taste of water, any experience? Is it taste normal after the filter and if any difference when making tea/coffee etc

[colinanderson]

Presume it would be ok to just fit the ball o fix straight onto the flex of the cold tap and the isolator body onto the cold water supply (the way the cold tap flex is currently - directly) and not use the black fitting at all? It would just save cutting copper pipe to fit the isolator valve....?

[hebertmoreira]

does unit comes prssurized or it presurized while tank is getting filled? Thank you

[zurasaur]

the flow is great before i add the membrane, soon as i add it for the 2nd flush the water only drips extremely slow 😭 is this normal?

[grahamwhitehead]

thanks easy to follow, but where is the flow restrictor valve

[johanmiesen]

What is the drill you use for the hole in the stainless steel sink it is not in the list

Hi shaun, im thinking about purchasing 6 stage domestic RO system. I read that i’ll have to also buy an pump to increase my water pressure, could you please upload a video on how to install RO system with the pump ?

[wobblybob]

hello Shaun my storage tank doesn't seem to be filling up what have i done wrong ?

[theswitch]

Hi, I have just installed this system with a pump unit at a new house address, there seems to be adequate water pressure without actually powering the pump unit up. Will it be okay to use without plugging the pump in to the mains or will any features be missing due to not having it powered up or will it operate as normal? Thanks in advance

[themonaghan]

does the drian off run all the time ??? mine is running all the time ??

[evanburke]

Why is the pressure gauge showing 100+ psi when I close the flush valve(L1). No water is going into the tank and I have checked the pressure in the tank. It was working fine until I added the membrane and it’s like the membrane is just stopping it. I have the model with the pump.

[DaliborKasicky]

Question please. Are you flush the system every time you change filters? Thanks

[brianbrainszoo]

Found the video to be helpful, as you say further down the comments, it needs updating and correcting, and adding of important info thats not in the installation booklet like tank bladder pressure. and note it is not the same as system water mains supply pressure, as I bet some one will try to put 80 psi into that bottom valve!

well presented video, clear on the basic fitting and connections.

where can we get spare blue collet's? as they are bound to disapear down behind the kitchen cupboard units lol.

[doakhan]

Hi i installed my filter but schould i leave the tap on 4 the dirty water flow all the time or turn it off to get a full tank??
