Does this have to be installed under the sink? How does that filter the WHOLE HOUSE? Can it be installed by my pressure tank?

I don't think it could handle a whole house the lines are real small. I had it under my sink in the kitchen using the drinking faucet that comes with it. And it is a for drinking water not meant to filter the whole house it can't handle that volume of water.

This is not made to be a WHOLE HOUSE water filter, it is only for drinking water, and only comes with a 3 gallon tank.

The reason it is under the sink is the water hose will not reach to the basement. This unit does not filter the whole house and has one water spigot that leaks every 10 days or so. It usually cannot be installed by your pressure tank since the hose will not be long enough to reach the spigot. That hose is only 4 foot long. My plumber said the reason it leaks is there is a couple O rings that need replaced inside the water spigot.

We have ours mounted under the sink and while the filter unit mounts on the wall, the tank sits on the cabinet floor. The unit takes over half of our under the sink space. There is not enough tubing to mount in the basement.

I put under the sink. I have had it for several months now. Works great, no leaks.

Under the tank...and all "canister" filters are for under the tank ;). This is a great canister filter, comes will everything you need to get setup, and is great price for 350g/hr.

If your refrigerator is already plumbed under your kitchen sink, you'll just need a T fitting, and the appropriate corresponding line. I would suggest a miniature valve downstream of the T fitting, so you'll have the ability to turn off the supply to your refrigerator, without interrupting the supply to the RO tap.You did not say if your refrigerator is plumbed to the kitchen sink, or whether it has an inline filter already. Also, without knowing if you have copper, or plastic line to the refrigerator, it is hard to make plumbing suggestions.

It is easily installed under the sink and doesn't take too much room, you should be able to unplug it and take it with you.

Nope this would go on the pressure side of the pump. Order would be fresh water tank, then pump, then accumulator, then the rest of the plumbing system. This accumulator will act as a shock absorber for the water pressure in the system. If you need more detail let me know.

all faucets come with a base gasget to keep it all water tight,with out it when cleaned water will get under the unit and get under sink

I do not have one yet, but on other sites I have read that people have put it under their sinks and had it connected to the plumbing under there and it worked great. They all had plumbers do that for them. I'm planning to get a rolling cart to put mine on, so I can roll it up to the sink when using then put it in the closet when not.

If you have an under the sink RO system you need to have an air gap. If your RO is located elsewhere you do not. Good reference here. http://www.water-softeners-filters.com/air-gap-info

It comes with it's own faucet. You'll likely need to drill a hole in your sink to install. They also make a counter version if you don't want to do that

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..

I mounted the valve that was supplied with the pump. you must install this type of valve. Its made over cheap plastic/compost type material. I mounted mine under the farthest from the tank bathroom sink in the cabinet. I still don't understand how the valve works but, but it does

I'm guessing that the filter unit you're talking about is one that is hooked up in the basement and it filters out all the water in the house. If that's the kind you're talking about then it should be ok. It would actually be even better since water filters would remove the high amounts of minerals. It would prevent the shower head from clogging. I don't have a filter unit but the shower head is still working like new.

Installation is very easy. The filtration unit sits on your counter top and the end of the hose screws to your faucet. You only have to unscrew the mesh screen attachment at the end of your faucet and replace it with the metal piece that is fitted on the end of the hose.

my understanding is that this pump is only to boost the pressure of the filtered water. this allows you to mount the RO system in the garage (instead of under the sink)
