Auto cut-off system: Pull the floating mechanism from the wired connection. Remove the nut on the floating cylinder and attach the filter beneath the membrane compartment, now fix it there using the nut and attach the electrical connection back to the cut-off system.
Assembling the tank and the filter compartment
Now, assemble back the water tank and the filter compartment. Make sure all the screws are firmly tightened.
Attaching the pipes
Now, start attaching the pipes of the RO purifier. Inlet of the pre-filter is connected to the feed water valve attached to the tap. Connect the outlet of the pre-filter to water inlet for the RO unit. The outlet of the RO unit sends out the waste water. So, attach a pipe to the outlet and leave the other end open into a sink or any other appropriate area for drain water.
Hang the RO unit and the pre-filter on the wall and connect the system to an electric plug. Make sure of NOT using the first batch of water produced. Drain it and start using the water from the 2nd batch onwards.
