R.O. DRINKING WATER SYSTEM

MODEL T.F.C. - 435

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & SERVICE MANUAL

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components critical for effective performance. It is the user's

responsibility to, and the manufacturer strongly recommends that the user, periodically test the product water to verify the system is

performing satisfactorily. See the test kit(s) for sampling instructions.

This system is acceptable for treatment of inuent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in

combination measured as N and is certied for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40 psig)

or greater.

This system conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for pentavalent arsenic reduction. See the Performance Data Sheet and Arsenic

Facts section for an explanation of reduction performance.

DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY,

WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.

Systems certied for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain lterable cysts.

Drink With Condence!

Tested and Certified by NSF International against

NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for the reduction of the claims

specied on the Performance Data Sheet.

The membrane is a specially constructed, fully aromatic polyamide film and is classified as a Thin Film Composite (T.F.C.). SECTION I. INTRODUCTION Your new Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) Drinking Water System uses a combination of filtration technologies to reduce unwanted contaminants in a water supply. The following steps combine to give you the best in clear sparkling drinking water: The spiral wound construction of the R.O.

WATER QUALITY MONITOR–The optional Water Quality Monitor has been integrated into the system cover for instant monitoring at the touch of a button. The monitor compares the level of the total dissolved solids in the incoming (feed) water versus the product water and calculates the percent rejection. The monitor is preset to indicate a level of 75% rejection. NSF/ANSI Standard 58 requires a 75% total dissolved solids rejection to pass the requirement of the standard.

The following components comprise the R.O. Drinking Water System. (Refer to Fig. 1, for general system layout.) 11. ½", 9/16" and 5/8" open end wrenches. 12. Teflon tape. • An R.O. Manifold assembly. 13. Wide masking tape or duct tape. • Housings and Housing O–rings. 14. Plastic tubing cutter. • A Drinking Water Holding Tank.

3. R.O. Manifold Assembly–The manifold can be installed on either the right or left side of the under–sink area or a cabinet. The right side is recommended because all the tubing will be to the back of the cabinet and out of the way. Installation in the basement is also an option, one location is near the laundry/ utility sink where cold potable water and drain access is handy. The mounting location should allow adequate clearance and accessibility for cartridge changes. 2a.

When the Faucet is first opened, expect air and carbon fines (very fine black powder) from the In–Line and Activated Carbon Post Filters to be rinsed out. This is normal for the first tank of water or after the Activated Carbon Post Filters are changed. All individuals should take adequate precautions when changing the filters, including wearing protective gloves, to avoid direct contact with the exhausted filters. The recommended interval for changing the filters (not the R.O.

SECTION VI. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Problem Low quantity of Product Water from Holding Tank Possible Cause Solution Clogged Sediment Prefilter or Activated Carbon Post Filter. Replace filters. Low water pressure Feed Water pressure must be above 40 psig. R.O. Membrane is fouled. See Feed Water operating limits. Correct cause of fouling, replace Membrane. Plugged In–Line Activated Carbon Post Filter. Replace Post Filter. Air precharge pressure in Holding Tank is too high.

Problem High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the Product Water (continued) Possible Cause Solution No drain flow, Drain Restrictor is clogged. Clear or replace Drain Restrictor. No drain flow, the drain orifice in the Dispensing Faucet is plugged. Clear or replace Dispensing Faucet. The ASO Valve is not closing. Repair or replace the ASO Valve Components. New In-Line or Activated Carbon Post Filter not rinsed completely. Flush with several full tanks of Product Water.
