INTRODUCTION Your Reverse Osmosis (R.O) System provides clear, fresh water in your home. This compact unit is designed to force pressurized water through a semi-permeable membrane which rejects contaminants suspended in the water. This membrane permits passage of the improved water to a holding tank. It is then available for use for drinking, cooking, or making ice cubes. GENERAL HINTS USE LOTS OF R.O. WATER: Your R.O. system will perform better and last longer with heavier usage. Use your R.O.
HOW YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WORKS Your Reverse Osmosis System is completely self contained and uses stages for primary filtration and separations. FIRST STAGE: Prefilter The prefilter protects the reverse osmosis membrane from clogging by removing suspended and particulate matter larger than approximately 5 microns. The life of the prefilter depends upon the quality of the incoming tap water. Generally, we recommend replacing every six to twelve months.
DIRECTIONS FOR CHANGING FILTERS HOW OFTEN YOU CHANGE YOUR FILTERS VARIES ON THE QUALITY OF WATER COMING TO THE RO AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER PRODUCED BY THE RO. THE RO FILTERS SHOULD BE CHANGED AT LEAST EVERY YEAR, BUT IF WATER QUALITY IS LOW OR HIGH AMOUNTS OF WATER ARE USED, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THEY BE CHANGED MORE OFTEN. FILTERS CANNOT BE CHANGED TOO OFTEN. PRE FILTERS: 1. Turn off cold water supply and valve on top of storage tank. Wait for pressure to bleed off. 2.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS See page 7 and 8 for illustration IMPORTANT: If water pressure exceeds 90 psi you must install a pressure regulator. IMPORTANT: Some RO’s use quick connect plastic fittings, to work properly the tubing must be smooth, cut straight and inserted completely into the fitting. If tubing is scarred, cut at an angle or not inserted all the way there is a higher possibility of leaks. STEP #1: Select a convenient location for faucet.
(must be cut to allow direct gravity feed to drain) 9
COMMON PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS “I have too much Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the product water” 1. Membrane expanded. Replace membrane module. (Contact your local dealer) 2. Membrane attacked by chlorine. (does not apply to CTA element) Carbon prefilter may be exhausted. Replace with new cartridge. 3. Check valve failure on low control assembly. Replace check valve tee. (Contact your local dealer) 4. Insufficient brine flow rate/screen on flow control assembly plugged.
“My R.O. is constantly running.” 1. Check tank pressure and check valve. Tank pressure should be 10 psi empty. “I’ve noticed poor taste/odors in the product water.” 1. Increase in product TDS. Flush tank completely. See “I have too much Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the product water.” 2. Postfilter expended. Replace postfilter cartridge. 3. Tank/system contaminated. Replace prefilter and postfilter and sterilize tank and system. 4. Tank diaphragm out of place.

Reverse Osmosis Systems Model Number:__________________________________________ General Installation/Operation/Maintenance Requirements Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for effective reduction of total dissolved solids. The product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily.
