- The RO Pure and RO Pure Plus Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems were designed with you in mind. With a space saving, compact design that allows this system to fit under your sink with minimal space requirements. The 3 gallon storage tank will stores enough water for your daily use. Changing the filters is as easy as pushing a button! With the build in shut of valve when removing the filters there is no mess like traditional models. The filters snap out and are easily inserted.
The RO Pure Plus Reverse Osmosis System uses a VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Filtration. It is estimated that VOC's are present in 1/5 th of the nation's water supplies. These water contaminants can enter ground water from a variety of sources including localized use of herbicides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel tanks, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning industry.

Thank you for very good video.Good presentation.
Is it normal that my water keeps draining ?
This is Pun Call's husband, Harold, and I'm not a happy camper. We went downstairs this morning and found water all over our basement on our new laminate flooring. I searched everywhere for the source and all I can determine is, when the water leaked out of the air gap faucet, it ran through the holes in the kitchen floor under the sink where the water lines come up. A "How To" video here says the drain line into the sink drain will plug up with debris from the garbage disposal, and has to be blown out. Nice, huh? What kind of ignoramus designs something like that? And, on my unit, the hole in the faucet is at the back so any water that comes out runs across the counter top. If the hole was in the front, it would run into the sink. So, now, I guess the solution is to turn off the water to the R.O. unit whenever we're not using it. That's a bunch of bullshit. When I had a plumbing and heating business many years ago, I used Watt's regulators and other things, and found them superior in quality. But today, they obviously have a new crop of engineers who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. I'm going to scratch Watts' name off my list. Might as well buy Chinese crap.
Good morning Harold. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. The air-gap faucet is a standard feature of all Reverse Osmosis systems and they are all built this way. Since you had an air gap leak, if you contact our technical support team at 800-752-5582, they can assist you. Regards, Premier
@@premierawattsbrand3030 I spoke with your tech on the phone and followed his suggestions. So far, it's working o.k. with no leakage. Thank you.
Auto shut off valve doesn't work for my ro system so water flows non stop. How can I fix it?
Great video, thank you! What unit can be added along with this to add essential nutrients and minerals back into the water post RO?
Very helpful, thanks!
We are glad it helped. Thanks for your feedback!
Hello I just bought the 3 stage RO system , I notice that every time after we get water from the filter , we here water going to the pipe for a good few minutes, why is that??
Us too and then the spout will lose pressure
I recently bought a house with a system installed by the previous owner and I'm trying to get the system running again. I have a few questions:
1. How does one remove the water lines from the fittings? I don't want to damage either the hose or the fitting it plugs into
2. The black air gap line is improperly installed and too long - it dips beneath the drain saddle. Am I correct in assuming that this will cause big problems?
3. There is a water pump and a 40 PSI pressure switch installed under the sink, which is pumping the green tube. Is this a normal or recommended installation? Can I safely remove it from the loop?
The previous owner was a DIY guy and did a lot of things without following directions precisely, so now I'm following up the work that he did and tweaking it to work just right. There's stuff like this all over the house. Thanks for whatever help you can provide for this one!
Hello, we do apologize for the delay in our reply. See answers to your questions below:
Q1. How does one remove the water lines from the fittings? I don't want to damage either the hose or the fitting it plugs into
A. To remove a tube from a Quick Connect fitting you should make sure the system is depressurized. Then, depress the collet ring on the fitting and pull the tubing out. Depending on the size of the tube you may use a 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch open ended wrench to depress the collet ring instead of your fingers. If you have difficulties pulling the tube out, you can try pressing both the tube and the collet ring in then pull out the tube while holding the ring down.
Q2. The black air gap line is improperly installed and too long - it dips beneath the drain saddle. Am I correct in assuming that this will cause big problems?
A. If the system and faucet are connected as designed, having the black tube dip under the drain saddle will eventually cause your air gap on the faucet to leak.
Q3. There is a water pump and a 40 PSI pressure switch installed under the sink, which is pumping the green tube. Is this a normal or recommended installation? Can I safely remove it from the loop?
A. It sounds like a booster pump was installed on the system to increase the incoming water pressure. This is normal for homes with low incoming water pressure as the system's storage tank may not fill properly and the system could run for longer periods of time. In that situation, the pump may increase the storage tank's fill rate and storage capacity. To know if you can remove the pump/electrical components, you first should make sure that they are not installed in a ZeroWaste configuration. This can be determined by looking that the hot and cold water angle stops under the sink. If you have 2 adapt-a-valves (one on each angle stops) with a Green tube coming from the Cold water and a Red/Black tube leading to your Hot water, then the system is connected in a Zerowaste configuration. However, based on your second question I do not believe it to be installed in a ZeroWaste manner as the ZeroWaste does not use a Drain Saddle but instead returns the Waste water to your hot water lines. If the system is not connected as a ZeroWaste then you may certainly remove the pump, if you wish, as it is not critical to the operation. To remove the other electrical components just make sure that your system has an Automatic Shut Off Valve (ASOV) installed so that the system shuts off like it should. The ASOV is a black block-like object with 4 Quick Connect fittings (2 on each side).
Please let us know if you have any further questions or need clarification regarding any the above information.

@@premierawattsbrand3030 Thank you so much for the response! I got the system up and running by unplugging the booster pump and allowing the system to just run on city water pressure. Everything is working now better than the previous owner was able to get it to work (he abandoned getting the ice maker in the freezer up and running, but I was able to get it to work).
Really appreciate the response and thorough tutorial. I will definitely be buying my next set of filters from you! :-)
I want a video with the new wats, which is without waste water!
After installation and turning the water on, there is a significant amount of water coming from a hole in the top mount faucet. What can I do about this?
There are just three things that could cause this:
1) Make sure the hole you drilled on the drain pipe aligns with the hole on the drain saddle.
2) Make sure the black tubing is as short and straight as possible.
3) Make sure the flow restrictor is in place on the red tubing. The flow restrictor would be in the "Bent" end of the red tubing,
If the red tubing is missing a flow restrictor you may call our technical support at 1-800-752-5582 option 4. They can also help to walk you through any troubleshooting on your system to get it functioning properly.
@@premierawattsbrand3030 I installed a Watts RO unit in my home about a year ago. This morning, just after we got home from church, water started spraying out of the hole in the back of the faucet. There was no problem until now. What's up with this?
We installed a Watts R.O. unit in August. My husband was a plumber and pipefitter. The installation was easy, and the unit has worked perfectly until now. This morning, water started spraying out of the hole in the back of the faucet. My husband said, "Why in the hell is there a hole in there anyway?. I'll bet the son of bitch was made in China." He called the number, but of course, being Sunday, your office is closed. Now, he's pissed off and I'll have to put up with him until your office opens and he can get an answer. Thanks a lot, Watts.
Helpful video thanks
Please how to change monitor battery
Khadija,
I want to apologize for not being able to respond to you sooner.
Step 1 - Turn the handle on the storage tank ball valve to the “off” position and lower faucet handle to “on” position.
Step 2 - Remove the faucet handle cover at the slot. Note - Water will dribble out of the spout, use caution when handling the electronic components.
Step 3 - Slide the old battery out and replace with new battery. Note - Once the battery is pushed into the clip a red and blue light will flash indicating proper installation.
Step 4 -Replace cover assembly onto the faucet handle while aligning the tab on the cover with the notch on the faucets handle.
Sincerely,
Premier
I really don't like the idea of having to drill a hole in the pipe to use this. I could see leaks happening. I guess it has to be this way or has to be custom done otherwise with a piece that is specially designed for this. Instead it would make more sense to me to simply fill up the sink or some container with water and then stick the tubes in and have them suck up the water and filter it.
i seem to be having a problem with my system, why would water be gushing out at a high rate from the blue tube that connects to my storage tank? the tank fills at a rapid rate?
There are a few possibilities for the water to be flowing at a high rate like this. First, verify that your filters are installed in the correct order, Red > Yellow > Green > Blue. If this is a new install, verify that your plumbing is correct. On the back of your system, trace the Blue tube between the black ASOV and the System manifold to make sure it is connected to the top port behind the Green Membrane filter and the Red tubing is connected to the port below it. (The top port is closest to the mounting holes on the mounting bracket.) If this is an older install, you may have a bad ASOV and the water is bypassing the filtration system flowing directly into your tank. It is also possible, however unlikely, to have a bad membrane. You can give our Technical Support a call so we can help to troubleshoot the system with you at 1-800-752-5582 option 4.
I recently bought the 3 stage RO system and purchased a separate drinking faucet. The new one I purchased only allows one line to plug into it. The one that came with the RO system has three, is it possible to use the one i bought with this Watts system? Thanks
Which 3 Stage RO system did you purchase and which RO are you replacing RO Pure or Pure Plus? Whether the faucet is interchangeable or not is dependent on the tubing size of the faucet connection on the system. The faucet of the Premier RO Pure System in this video may have either 3/8" connection or 1/4" connection where the Pure Plus only has a 1/4" connection for dispensing the drinking water. Please refer to the owners manual for tubing size of the purchased 3 stage system. If the system uses a 3/8" tubing and you had the RO Pure, then it may require you to remove an adapter that would have been installed on the Premier Faucet. The Pure Plus would not accommodate a 3/8" connection.
I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions! ~Premier
Can you put the silver VOC filter in place of the blue post carbon on the RO pure system?
Absolutely! They are interchangeable
If i inserted wrong head of the red tube in the faucet how do i get it out ??
Hello Kamran, We do apologize for the delay in our reply. To remove a tubing from a Quick Connect fitting, you will press in on the collet ring and pull the tube out. However, it can be difficult to remove the tubing from the faucet fitting as it is recessed in the base. To reach it, you can use a small, open end wrench to press down on the white collet and pull on the red tube. The other option would be to leave the tube as-is and install a 90 degree stem elbow on the system where the red tube should go. The Flow restrictor will function in either place on the tubing.
Need help! I stupidly pulled all of the tubing off the back of the unit to bleach my system and tank, now I don't know which tube goes where. Does anyone have a picture of which red/blue, black, yellow etc tubes goes where?
Ju Ge, Here is a link to our installation instructions on our website. It does have a color coded picture of the back of your unit showing what tubes go where. If you have you need any additional instructions, please let us know. Regards, Premier
Jue Ge, Here is the link itself. www.premierh2o.com/pages/531417-ro-pure-plus
Why not 5 stagestruck?
Currently we don't have a 5 stage RO Pure System. We are looking at possibly adding one but don't know how long it may be.
Add russian or Ukrainian subtitles, please
