Specifications

Perform the following steps in the order shown.
Preliminary Steps
1. Check for any leaks that may exist from tubing connections or the faucet.
2. Check for flow to the drain. If flowing, close tank shut-off so you can check auto shut-off operation
3. Test and record product TDS from faucet. Also observe if faucet stem is stiff to move.
4. Test and record feed TDS, then calculate rejection percentage - ____% acceptable.
5. If rejection is acceptable - Shut off storage tank, remove tank supply tubing to collect and record product flow, and water
temperature.
6. Record feed pressure if needed by attaching a pressure gauge to feed line. Use the recorded feed pressure and water
temperature to check product flow rate against the supplied chart. Membrane okay? Low production could be the result of
partially plugged prefilters. If so retest after filters are changed.
7. With feed line off begin draining tank. Make-up sanitizing solution at this time using 1 liter (34 oz) RO water and 1 ml (full
dropper) of Clorox Ultra bleach
Disassembly Steps
1. When storage tank is empty, shut-off faucet and check air pre-charge on tank. Air pressure should be 6-8 PSI unless the feed
pressure is above 60 PSI or if you are using a booster pump then increase the pressure to 10 PSI. Increase air as needed at
this time.
2. Place 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of bleach into an empty filter bowl then disconnect the raw or influent tubing at the RO and
reattach the tubing to the filter bowl containing the bleach.. Connect the other side of the filter bowl to the RO storage tank
and fill with at least 1 gallon of water (best if soft water, no iron or manganese). Close the raw or influent water supply and
tank valves. Solution should remain in tank for 5 minutes.
3. Remove RO filter housings and discard old elements and membrane if needed.
4. Using a clean paper towel, wipe and rinse the interior of the RO housings.
5. Install the new filters and/or membrane using the plastic wrappers to prevent contact with your bare hands. Please make sure
your hands have been washed with soap and hot water. Fill the prefilter and membrane housings with the Clorox bleach
solution including inside the membrane tube. (GAC pre-carbons should be pre-rinsed before use). Solution should remain in
place 5 minutes.
6. Re-assemble the housings to the manifold or heads and re-connect all tubing appropriately. (H series - be sure to inspect all
connections and replace o-rings and any metal gripper rings.)
Flush and Finish
1. Remove and inspect the capillary tube assembly. Replace if discolored. Reinstall, leaving the screws loose allowing the
system to fast flush to the drain. Open the water supply valve and flush for several minutes. Be sure flow to the drain is fast
and not restricted by capillary. Check air gap drain tubing for restriction or leaks.
2. Remove the post carbon filter and install a coupler in its place. Clean inside the faucet spout as needed using a cotton swab
soaked with the Clorox bleach solution. Open the tank valve and drain bleach solution through the faucet. Close faucet when
flow stops. Some solution should remain in the faucet.
3. Install a new post carbon filter using caution not to allow tubing to drain out while disconnected.
4. Tighten screws on the capillary assembly tube, check for leaks and clean up work area. If a new membrane was installed you
should take new product flow measurements and allow more time for rinsing.
5. Replace the battery in the TDS monitor and water alarm if applicable.
6. Instruct the customer (or leave instructions) to discard the first large glass of water removed from the faucet (or drain the tank
once if membrane is new) before using the water. A time limitation isn’t necessary.
Thoroughly check for leaks - again.
