Hey Guys,
Need a little advise or really help I was giving a Aqua-Pure AP-RO5500 from my grandfather a while ago I need to install it now It has a spic kit / tap for mounting on top of the sink there is three hoses on the tap and a few other lines I'm not to sure what they go to as there in no manual..
From what I see one hose is a line to the drain and one connects to the unit for water and the other is ? looks like air valve that connects to a red hose the unit :confused:
any help would be great

First issue was the multi lines coming for the spout and the biggest deal was finding the right pipe to work for the drain and after 4 trip to home d**** I ended up with just drilling a pipe and jb welding the return to it also I might add the other trips were for the right bits to drill for the spout and the right T fitting for the inlet water because my place used all kinds of differ size fittings to work
but yea 2.5 hours with 4 trips to the DEPOT and drilling here some pics

OH, the thing you want to do that is called "The Drain Saddle". We just got a new sink so I'm doing the same this weekend. I got a 10 Gallon pressure storage tank under there now too. I keep having to go find connectors. Right now I had to stop since I forgot to buy anothe Tee.

I believe you can get these at Fugisons on Pecos.

Lots of pressure and slow rpm, or pulse fast rpm with lots of pressure. Normal drilling into stainless will burn up any bit or hole saw blade.
