• Sanitize Filter Assembly
The Aqua-Cleer system may be sanitized with either 5-1/4% liquid chlorine unscented bleach or a fresh bottle of consumer
grade hydrogen peroxide.
NOTICE: Do not use hydrogen peroxide if iron is present in the raw water supply. This combination will damage the RO
membrane filter.
1. Pull the u-clip from the rear of the particle filter housing and remove
housing from manifold.
For Older Units: Insert the u-clip into the two square holes at the bottom
rear of the manifold. Push up to release the filter housing.
2. Pour: two tablespoons liquid chlorine bleach or 3 ounces hydrogen
peroxide into the particle filter-housing.
3. Assemble the housing to the manifold and replace the u-clip.
4. Using 1/4” OD plastic tubing, connect the inlet of the system (raw water)
(Figure 5) to a source of clean filtered water.
5. Install short lengths (2-3”) of 1/4” OD and 3/8” OD plastic tubing into the
concentrate and product water outlets.
6. Turn on the supply valve and allow the system to fill with water. Once
water begins to drip or flow from the filter assembly, turn off the supply
valve and allow the system to sit for ten minutes.
7. Turn on the supply valve and flush the sanitizing solution from the
system.
• Install Filter Cartridges
1. Pull the u-clip from the rear of the particle filter housing and remove housing from manifold.
For Older Units: Insert the u-clip into the two square holes at the bottom rear of the manifold. Push up to release the filter
housing.
2. Lubricate the cartridge o-ring with silicone lube and insert the particle filter cartridge into the manifold.
3. Assemble the housing to the manifold and replace the u-clip.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 and install the flushed activated carbon filter cartridge into housing and the RO membrane filter element
into the center housing. Be sure the drain adapter is in place.
• Adjust Capillary Length

system is designed
for maximum efficiency on most soft water installations. On
hard water installations and applications where TDS exceeds 500
mg/L (ppm), it is necessary to increase the flushing water flow
to maximize RO membrane life. This is done by shortening the
length of the capillary tube (Figure 6) in the concentrate
flow control.
Figure 6
If the system is to be installed on hard water or where TDS
exceeds 500 mg/L (ppm), proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the capillary retaining screws 1/4 - 1/2 turn.
2. Rotate the capillary assembly free of the retaining screws and pry it from the manifold.
3. Remove the white capillary retaining sleeve and unroll the capillary tube from the spool.
4. For systems on water with hardness higher than 10 gpg and TDS between 500 and 1000 mg/L cut the capillary tube
squarely in half with a new razor blade, being careful not to crimp the end.
5. For systems on water with TDS higher than 1000 mg/L cut the capillary tube squarely down to 2 inches with a new razor
blade, being careful not to crimp the end.
6. Replace the capillary sleeve and rewind the capillary tubing onto the spool.
7. Reinstall the capillary assembly into the manifold and retighten the retaining screws.
NOTE: Changing the capillary length voids the WQA listing. Remove the WQA data label from the system if you adjust
the capillary length.
