Thank you for making this video. I think all companies that sell products that need to be assembled or installed should make a video like this. This video made installing my system a breeze, and we absolutely love this system. Ourselves and the 22 rescue cats we have really appreciate it.
MARVELOUS! You are a wonderful educator and thank you cameraman too (it was smooth viewing and was not jerky!!) Nice pics, nice voice narration and explanations. Really well done Master Teacher. Thank you hope to install mine tonight after work!
SO EASY to setup! I installed this late at night in about 35-45 minutes without even waking up my family. SO MUCH BETTER than the Insight Biosciences unit. They didn't support me....and didn't even have an adequate installation manual. Thank you!!
This video was very helpful. It is WAY better than the one the manufacturer provides. I would have had a tougher time if I only used the installation book and the manufacturer's video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
My iSpring system has been great. But it's time to change filters. I ordered two of the six-stage filters I didn't have and received them promptly. One was exactly like the filter I had removed, but the other had fittings on both ends that didn't match. One of the customer service folks returned my call and I learned that they have upgraded the filter elements to a more efficient, and user-friendly connection. If you are changing your filters, I would recommend purchasing the complete filter kit. It will have the filters with the new design and all of the connectors you'll need. These guys were very responsive when I had questions about the initial setup a couple of years ago, and I'm pleased to report that the representative who returned my call took the time to explain everything to me. Also, I've read some reviews complaining about leaks. I've had some leaks as well. Every one of them was due to MY INSTALLATION MISTAKES. Wrapping the Teflon tape in the wrong direction is probably the most common mistake.

Awesome Instructions. Great job. It was had to find the "System Startup" part. Which I was most confused on. This video helped clear the air. thank you very much for the information.
Adam- The first few times it can take a while for the tank to fill- amount 2-4 hours for most customers. Let the tank fill then flush it. Do this twice. Then the system should be good to go. Connor- The system has a automatic shut off valve so the system will only run water when the tank is not full to replenish it to full capacity. The only time I suggest to close the feed water adapter is when you are gone for long periods of time to protect the system from possible water pressure changes that could happen while you are away.

when you say open faucet to let tank drain, should I turn off the cold water valve too so it completely drains? if I don't wouldn't it just pull more water from the cwv?
I will have to purchase a drill bit to drill through my sink. The manual recommends a 1/2 inch bit, but I see your hole is much bigger. Will the 1/2 inch drill bit suffice?
After you fill the pressure tank for 2 hours, you say to drain it completely. You presumably shut off the cold water supply to do that, or it would run indefinitely. You should mention this. On the other hand, if you shut off the cold water supply, it is not so clear that the pressure tank would empty completely (only partially). Please clarify.
Hi Sami. You don't need to shut off the cold water supply to empty the tank. The water won't run indefinitely. After the tank fills with water for the first time, you open the reverse osmosis faucet and let it run until it slows to a trickle. This means that the tank is empty and just close the faucet to let it fill back up. If you have more questions, please call us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We are happy to help.

Okay. Water pressure is low, adjusted lines, helped a little. Water looks a little bubbly? PPM went from 230+ to under 20. Tap water PH is 6.5 and the RO is now 5.5? Model - RCC7AK-UV
Vaseline is mentioned in this video for use on the 0 rings and food grade silicone jelly is mentioned in the owners manual. Does it make any Big difference which to use? Sure would be cheaper to use vaseline unless there could be some negative issues with vaseline ? Thankyou for your support.
@@iSpringWaterSystems I am about to install my iSpring RO system. But I've read that Vaseline can cause rubber and neoprene to deteriorate prematurely. Is Vaseline really OK to use on the O-rings? Wouldn't it be better to use silicone? Please advise, as I plan to install the system this weekend.

This unit RCC7 from iSpring waste a TON of water!!!. The manual states that it is a 2:1 ratio of waste water to clean water, however I and many others have tested this by feeding the waste water line through the kitchen wall and out to a 5 gallon bucket. The results came back in and it is was either 4:1 or 5:1 ratio. If you don't believe me, try it and you'll notice the waste water is clear and that is how much you are wasting by feeding the line to the sink drainage tube unknowingly. I'm currently using the waste water to feed plants and other house hold chores that requires water. My water bill has sky rocketed since this unit has been installed. The unit works and filters out all the bad stuff, however iSpring doesn't tell you how much water it waste. Why should anyone waste 5 gallons of usable water to make 1 gallon of lemonade.
Great idea watering your plants with waste water. Thanks. I plan to do the same. I'm wondering how you did that though, if it's all under the sink. Care to share?
Hi Vy Tran, We are sorry to hear the waste to pure water ratio is not at 2:1. This may be an issue with a component of the system. Could you please contact our customer service dept. at 678-261-7611 to trouble shoot the system? Thank you, iSpring Water Systems LLC
Look up reverse osmosis. That's standard for RO. Not sure where/why anyone/anything would say 2:1, but if it were 2:1 it would be a very low quality filter. You should only be using this water for drinking, not everything, in which case it should still be not much. Water is cheap...
Hi there. Please, kindly check this more recent video: czcams.com/video/yEvLqKiPa5k/video.html Filters now come with quick connect fittings and teflon tape is not needed.
Hi there, when the RO is ready to use and the tank is full, do i have to leave the cold stop tap on constantly- does leaving it on overnight (when not in use) waste alot of cold water because the tank is on maximum? Or can i switch it off now and again to save on water bills and be more efficient? Thank you
+Connor- The system has a automatic shut off valve so the system will only run water when the tank is not full to replenish it to full capacity. The only time I suggest to close the feed water adapter is when you are gone for long periods of time to protect the system from possible water pressure changes that could happen while you are away.
Ok thank you, so just to clarify. I have the iSpring RCC7AK 6 Stages 75GPD Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System model, and i am good to leave the water feed on all the time except when im away for a long time. Because when the tank it full, no more water will go down the drain and be wasted? Is it bad to keep turning the water feed on and off? Cheers
+Connor Haynes You are correct. The system will only turn on when the tank is replenishing itself to full capacity. Turning the feed water adapter open and close (on and off) can affect the pressure going into the system which intern might cause some damage so it would be best to leave it open unless you are leaving for long periods of time such as for vacation.
Hi Forrest Tate, There is a o-ring for every filter housing. The bigger o-rings you received are extras for the 3 vertical housings holding the sediment, granular carbon, and block carbon filters. The membrane housing which is the white horizontal housing has an o-ring also. Please make sure you have a o-ring on every filter housing except the post carbon as it does not have a housing. Thanks, Helen
I made a mistake during the system start up - I hooked up all the hoses and opened all the valves. I am now worried that the black carbon is in the tank and RO membrane as I missed the step of flushing the first three stages. How can I fix this?
Hi Savllam, "The ASO works when i turn off the tank valve" indicates the problem is likely with the tank with lower pressure. The Automatic Shut-Off Valve shuts off when tank is full, that is, the tank pressure reaches 7-10 PSI. You may use bike air pump to add air through the tank air valve on the side until air gauge reaches or stream from drink faucet is satisfied. For further assistance, please call (678)261-7611 or email us with your installation photos.
In the written instructions it mentions that if you want to mount this to the wall you should have some sort of a support underneath the filters. But I can find no reference anywhere about how high off the ground one must have the unit. Any kind of guideline on how high to mount it?
Hi Samantha. It doesn't really matter how high above the ground you mount the system on the wall. A block of wood or even styrofoam can offer support. If you have more questions, please call us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We are happy to help.
Hi there. We certainly understand your hesitation to drill another hole in your countertop. Some customers have been able to utilize existing countertop holes that were previously occupied by soap dispensers or sprayer nozzles by either eliminating them or replacing them with new faucets which utilize less holes. If utilizing an existing hole is not an option, we have also had customers choose to mount the faucet using the including mounting bracket either to a wall or under the cabinet with the system. Alternatively, you may be able to connect your system to your fridge/ice-maker and omit having a faucet all-together. If you have any other questions about installation options, please kindly contact us at support@123filter.com or at (678) 261-7611 M-F 8:30-5:30 EST to properly guide you. We are happy to help!
The paper instructions failed to mention that the RO membrane was not installed in it's compartment. I actually thought iSpring had been thoughtful enough to include a spare RO membrane so imagine my surprise when my finish product TDS was actually HIGHER than my raw water! At least this video cleared that up, but the video also makes it look like 1...2...3 the membrane is seated and tightened, but after several leaky attempts I took the elbow off the membrane end cap and I could see the end of the membrane unit was not lined up properly so I "adjusted" it by inserting a Phillips screwdriver in through the hole and manually lining the cartridge up. I then drained the pressure tank and started all over again. Also...one of the blue clips was missing on the back of the RO membrane compartment so I had to scavenge one from the extra elbows that were included. Other than that it went like clockwork. :-/
Took the unit apart today and found that the membrane and housing got messed up during installation and are ruined. On the bright side iSpring's customer service is sending me a new housing and membrane. They do want you to be happy with their products.
I purchased your 5 stage reverse osmosis system and I am having problems with flow. After roughly an hour of waiting with the system on, the water is dropping out in very slow increments. Your youtube video fails to mention that you are supposed to flush the first 3 filters before attaching the membrane. That is only mentioned in steps 6.3 and 8.2 of the instruction manual. Also, the membrane housing comes pre-assembled with the hoses all hooked up. Why would you ship this item like this when the 3 pre filters are supposed to be flushed first?
wait.. at 1:14 the person put something on the top of the filter before they installed it in but nothing was said about that, what is that? also the person shows the colored hose connections only to one end and not the other... dont take this the wrong way but creating instructions isn't for everyone

Hi Jesse, Please double check that all your tubings are pushed in at least 1/2". You can double check this by taking the tubing out and making a 1/2" mark with a sharpie and ruler on your tubing.

Soft talker here. Hardy worth listening to. Next time try speaking up or turning up the volume. And why is it I didn't have black caps on my membrane cartridge? Also, you threaded the Teflon tape in the wrong direction.
So it says after 5 minutes wait 10 more then turn on the tank valve. Turn off the faucet and then wait two hours and then drain the system. How long does it take to drain the system? Is it two hours more?
It says turn on faucet and wait 5 min for water to start to flow and then wait another 10 min then turn on the tank valve. We turned the faucet on and waited 30 min and it only dripped out of the faucet. What can make the water not start to run? We checked all the lines and reinstalled the membrane, don't know what else to check.

I too am having the same problem. I followed all instructions perfectly. Your video fails to mention that you are supposed to flush the first 3 filters before attaching the membrane. That is only mentioned in steps 6.3 and 8.2 of the instruction manual. Also, the membrane housing comes pre-assembled with the hoses all hooked up. Why would you ship this item like this when the 3 pre filters are supposed to be flushed first?
I watched the video and was helpful. Only thing is that it doesn't mention to flush the system first then to connect to the 4th stage. I wasn't able to flush first. Is this a major concern??
Hi Juan. You don't need to worry too much if you just skipped flushing once. The carbon residuals would be caught by the membrane when you run the system so they won't end up in your purified water. However, we don't recommend skipping it too many times as it will cause the membrane to clog too soon and thus reducing its lifespan.
Y can't u just get a Y fitting and have the dishwasher and RO drainage system share the same pipe fittings that the dishwasher drain goes into? That would make more sense
Francis Atienza Hi Francis, Thank you for your question. This system should only be connected to your cold water line and will filter the water. It will not change the temperature of the water. You can install a hot water heater after the system though. Thanks, iSpring Water Systems
FLUSH THE 3 STAGE CARBON FILTERS BEFORE CONNECTING THEM TO THE RO MEMBRANE! They kind of skip this in the video. The rcc7ak doesn't have a flush valve, so you have to remove the inlet tube from the ro membrane and drain in a bucket until clear of charcoal. Just a heads up. I followed the video and missed this step. I cringe at the thought of charcoal in my brand new pride and joy. 😳🤦♂️😆

Thanks for the question! Vaseline is fine to use without concern.
@@iSpringWaterSystems I am about to install my iSpring RO system. But I've read that Vaseline can cause rubber and neoprene to deteriorate prematurely. Is Vaseline really OK to use on the O-rings? Wouldn't it be better to use silicone? Please advise, as I plan to install the system this weekend.
@@OfficialSonOfRock Hi there. Vaseline should not be used on the o-rings. Our o-rings are pre-lubricated so you don't need any more lubricants on them. If you have more questions or concerns about our products, please feel free to contact us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST) or email us at support@123filter.com. We are happy to help!

blue / purple clean bottle is better and easily to see than white
This unit RCC7 from iSpring waste a TON of water!!!. The manual states that it is a 2:1 ratio of waste water to clean water, however I and many others have tested this by feeding the waste water line through the kitchen wall and out to a 5 gallon bucket. The results came back in and it is was either 4:1 or 5:1 ratio. If you don't believe me, try it and you'll notice the waste water is clear and that is how much you are wasting by feeding the line to the sink drainage tube unknowingly. I'm currently using the waste water to feed plants and other house hold chores that requires water. My water bill has sky rocketed since this unit has been installed. The unit works and filters out all the bad stuff, however iSpring doesn't tell you how much water it waste. Why should anyone waste 5 gallons of usable water to make 1 gallon of lemonade.
Great idea watering your plants with waste water. Thanks. I plan to do the same. I'm wondering how you did that though, if it's all under the sink. Care to share?
ALL reverse osmosis water filters waste water during the filtration process. Its the nature of the design. This one is no different.
Hi Vy Tran,
We are sorry to hear the waste to pure water ratio is not at 2:1. This may be an issue with a component of the system. Could you please contact our customer service dept. at 678-261-7611 to trouble shoot the system?
Thank you,
iSpring Water Systems LLC
Look up reverse osmosis. That's standard for RO. Not sure where/why anyone/anything would say 2:1, but if it were 2:1 it would be a very low quality filter. You should only be using this water for drinking, not everything, in which case it should still be not much. Water is cheap...
You right its running non stop .wasting water.it is good system if you supply water from well its free. but from city its expensive
If Teflon tape is so crucial, why do you cheap out and not include some?
Hi there. Please, kindly check this more recent video: czcams.com/video/yEvLqKiPa5k/video.html
Filters now come with quick connect fittings and teflon tape is not needed.
@@iSpringWaterSystems but you need Teflon tape for the tank it looks like
Does the water filter need electricity ? or it works on just pressure of water?
Just pressure
Hi there, when the RO is ready to use and the tank is full, do i have to leave the cold stop tap on constantly- does leaving it on overnight (when not in use) waste alot of cold water because the tank is on maximum? Or can i switch it off now and again to save on water bills and be more efficient? Thank you
+Connor- The system has a automatic shut off valve so the system will only run water when the tank is not full to replenish it to full capacity. The only time I suggest to close the feed water adapter is when you are gone for long periods of time to protect the system from possible water pressure changes that could happen while you are away.
Ok thank you, so just to clarify. I have the iSpring RCC7AK 6 Stages 75GPD Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System model, and i am good to leave the water feed on all the time except when im away for a long time. Because when the tank it full, no more water will go down the drain and be wasted? Is it bad to keep turning the water feed on and off? Cheers
+Connor Haynes You are correct. The system will only turn on when the tank is replenishing itself to full capacity. Turning the feed water adapter open and close (on and off) can affect the pressure going into the system which intern might cause some damage so it would be best to leave it open unless you are leaving for long periods of time such as for vacation.
There wasn't any mention of the o-rings. There were extras in the bag. I hope I don't need to install them anywhere before I turn on the water supply.
Definetly need an o-ring in the middle filter.
Hi Forrest Tate,
There is a o-ring for every filter housing. The bigger o-rings you received are extras for the 3 vertical housings holding the sediment, granular carbon, and block carbon filters. The membrane housing which is the white horizontal housing has an o-ring also. Please make sure you have a o-ring on every filter housing except the post carbon as it does not have a housing.
Thanks,
Helen
had to add external speakers to really make out, voice quality is horrible but it helps if you have some external speakers lying around
Do the yellow and blue cords have to be parallel to each other? What would happen if the yellow was perpendicular?
I made a mistake during the system start up - I hooked up all the hoses and opened all the valves. I am now worried that the black carbon is in the tank and RO membrane as I missed the step of flushing the first three stages.
How can I fix this?
My tank shut off valve is leaking a lot. Teflon tape was used and it is tightened securely. What else can I do to stop this from leaking all over?
Hi Savllam,
"The ASO works when i turn off the tank valve" indicates the problem is likely with the tank with lower pressure. The Automatic Shut-Off Valve shuts off when tank is full, that is, the tank pressure reaches 7-10 PSI. You may use bike air pump to add air through the tank air valve on the side until air gauge reaches or stream from drink faucet is satisfied.
For further assistance, please call (678)261-7611 or email us with your installation photos.
You might want to mention to use acid free vaseline to avoid the o rings to disintegrate.
plumbers silicone is better
In the written instructions it mentions that if you want to mount this to the wall you should have some sort of a support underneath the filters. But I can find no reference anywhere about how high off the ground one must have the unit. Any kind of guideline on how high to mount it?
Hi Samantha. It doesn't really matter how high above the ground you mount the system on the wall. A block of wood or even styrofoam can offer support. If you have more questions, please call us at 678-261-7611 (M-F, 8:30 - 5:30 EST). We are happy to help.

My sink sits below my quartz countertop. What is the best way to drill through it?
Hi there. We certainly understand your hesitation to drill another hole in your countertop. Some customers have been able to utilize existing countertop holes that were previously occupied by soap dispensers or sprayer nozzles by either eliminating them or replacing them with new faucets which utilize less holes. If utilizing an existing hole is not an option, we have also had customers choose to mount the faucet using the including mounting bracket either to a wall or under the cabinet with the system. Alternatively, you may be able to connect your system to your fridge/ice-maker and omit having a faucet all-together. If you have any other questions about installation options, please kindly contact us at support@123filter.com or at (678) 261-7611 M-F 8:30-5:30 EST to properly guide you. We are happy to help!
Volume is 'Waaaaaaaaay too low! Can't hear you at all.
5 Hour installation and 2 trips to Lowes.
Why did you have to go to Lowes?
The paper instructions failed to mention that the RO membrane was not installed in it's compartment. I actually thought iSpring had been thoughtful enough to include a spare RO membrane so imagine my surprise when my finish product TDS was actually HIGHER than my raw water! At least this video cleared that up, but the video also makes it look like 1...2...3 the membrane is seated and tightened, but after several leaky attempts I took the elbow off the membrane end cap and I could see the end of the membrane unit was not lined up properly so I "adjusted" it by inserting a Phillips screwdriver in through the hole and manually lining the cartridge up. I then drained the pressure tank and started all over again. Also...one of the blue clips was missing on the back of the RO membrane compartment so I had to scavenge one from the extra elbows that were included. Other than that it went like clockwork. :-/
Took the unit apart today and found that the membrane and housing got messed up during installation and are ruined. On the bright side iSpring's customer service is sending me a new housing and membrane. They do want you to be happy with their products.
good
I purchased your 5 stage reverse osmosis system and I am having problems with flow. After roughly an hour of waiting with the system on, the water is dropping out in very slow increments. Your youtube video fails to mention that you are supposed to flush the first 3 filters before attaching the membrane. That is only mentioned in steps 6.3 and 8.2 of the instruction manual. Also, the membrane housing comes pre-assembled with the hoses all hooked up. Why would you ship this item like this when the 3 pre filters are supposed to be flushed first?
They mention flushing the first three in their other video for the five stage. Crazy they forgot that crucial step in this video.
can anyone get that guy some food,sounds like he hasn't eat for a month
wait.. at 1:14 the person put something on the top of the filter before they installed it in but nothing was said about that, what is that?
also the person shows the colored hose connections only to one end and not the other...
dont take this the wrong way but creating instructions isn't for everyone

What line fills up the reservoir????
can I use my existing faucet ?
where is the link for the granite countertops
These videos would be so much more helpful if they actually matched the instructions in the Box
I turned it on an it stated leaking from everywhere. Do you think it might have to do with the tubes being hooked up wrong?
Hi Jesse,
Please double check that all your tubings are pushed in at least 1/2". You can double check this by taking the tubing out and making a 1/2" mark with a sharpie and ruler on your tubing. Then resinsert the tubing till you do not see the 1/2" mark you made. Really shove the tubing in the fitting and then insert the c-clip. If this does not work, please contact us at 6782617611 or sales@ispringfilter.com.
Thanks!

So it says after 5 minutes wait 10 more then turn on the tank valve. Turn off the faucet and then wait two hours and then drain the system. How long does it take to drain the system? Is it two hours more?
Hi thank you ,I the spit for ice maker where can I order thnks
It says turn on faucet and wait 5 min for water to start to flow and then wait another 10 min then turn on the tank valve. We turned the faucet on and waited 30 min and it only dripped out of the faucet. What can make the water not start to run? We checked all the lines and reinstalled the membrane, don't know what else to check.

I too am having the same problem. I followed all instructions perfectly. Your video fails to mention that you are supposed to flush the first 3 filters before attaching the membrane. That is only mentioned in steps 6.3 and 8.2 of the instruction manual. Also, the membrane housing comes pre-assembled with the hoses all hooked up. Why would you ship this item like this when the 3 pre filters are supposed to be flushed first?
i can't hear what is being said, my computer volume and youtube volume are both at 100%
I watched the video and was helpful. Only thing is that it doesn't mention to flush the system first then to connect to the 4th stage. I wasn't able to flush first. Is this a major concern??
Hi Juan. You don't need to worry too much if you just skipped flushing once. The carbon residuals would be caught by the membrane when you run the system so they won't end up in your purified water. However, we don't recommend skipping it too many times as it will cause the membrane to clog too soon and thus reducing its lifespan.
that carries air pressure tank that comes with the kit?
Hi Aaron, I believe I have answered your question below.
Thanks,
Helen
how often do you have to change these filters?
Hi. Our RO filters need to be replaced every 6-12 months, depending on your water quality and water usage. RO membrane can last for 2-3 years.
A cuanta presión está el tanque de agua?
When empty it is 7-10 psi, when the bladder is full it is 35-45 psi.
Y can't u just get a Y fitting and have the dishwasher and RO drainage system share the same pipe fittings that the dishwasher drain goes into? That would make more sense
hello i would like to know if this system generate hot water from non-hot water home ?
Francis Atienza Hi Francis,
Thank you for your question. This system should only be connected to your cold water line and will filter the water. It will not change the temperature of the water. You can install a hot water heater after the system though.
Thanks,

FLUSH THE 3 STAGE CARBON FILTERS BEFORE CONNECTING THEM TO THE RO MEMBRANE! They kind of skip this in the video. The rcc7ak doesn't have a flush valve, so you have to remove the inlet tube from the ro membrane and drain in a bucket until clear of charcoal. Just a heads up. I followed the video and missed this step. I cringe at the thought of charcoal in my brand new pride and joy. 😳🤦♂️😆

Installed the membrane, which now I can't even get the tube out, and I am no longer able to go on installing.
+Wakey Wake Thank you for your question. To remove the tubing they are held down by quick fitting. To release them you remove the blue clip, then push down on the quick fitting (white ring) and at the same time while holding down the quick fitting pull the tubing out (use your other hand. Thanks!

This is useful but the audio is terrible.
What's the solution for drilling a hole? I can't seem to drill the half inch hole.the water facuet doesn't appear to be standard size as my dish washer opening is 1.5 in while the width of the included faucet is 1.25in. hd recommended I buy a new faucet that would fit I. The dish washer hole. Anyone? Thanks
Thanks for the question! The 2" top washer with rubber gasket and the 2" bottom locker washer and wing nut together are able to hold the faucet in place, so it is totally okay for your situation.
