INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
The 12403 Series Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Treatment Systems have been designed for ease of installation and serviceability
andareconstructedwiththenestmaterialsavailable.Usingtheseinstructionsandpayingcloseattentiontotheparametersoutlined
within “CONDITIONS FOR USE” detailed on Page II will ensure a successful installation.
All systems must be installed in accordance with applicable city, state, provincial and local plumbing codes. For installation in Massa-
chusetts, the Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248 CMR shall be adhered to. Consult your licensed plumber for installation of this system.
The use of saddle (piercing) valves is not permitted. To ensure a system continues to operate at its optimum level, it is necessary to
havearoutinemaintenanceandreplacementschedule(Table4).Frequencyatwhichltersmustbechangedwilldependonquality
of feed water supply and level of system usage.
These RO systems contain a replaceable treatment component critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specification, as defined by WaterGroup to assure the
same efficiency. Product water shall be tested periodically to verify the system is performing properly. Operator performs test using
the optional Smartap
®
Water Quality Monitor.
All state, provincial and local government codes regarding installation of these devices must be observed.
PREPARATION
1. Check that all appropriate components are packed with your
system (Figures 1.A. and 1.B.).

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Table 4
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS RECOMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS
To insure the system operates at its optimum level, certain routine maintenance must be
performed. Frequency of maintenance performance will depend on feed water quality and
level of system usage.
CLEAN: Each time filters are replaced
SANITIZE: At least once a year and each time membrane is replaced
Replace filters as required or every 6 to 12 months depending on feed water quality.
Replace membrane as required based on Smartap®
Water Quality Monitor indication or periodic TDS rejection tests.
Maximum recommended service life for membrane is 60 months.
