Installation Tips How to use the QuickConnect fittings Figure 1 To connect: 1. See Figure 1. Check and cut the tubing end squarely and cleanly with utility knife or scissors. 2. Make a ½” mark at the end of the tube so you will be able to confirm when the tube is inserted fully into the fitting. 3. Remove the blue lock clip from the fitting with your nail. If the lock sleeve pops out of the fitting when doing this, simply pop it back in. 4. Insert the tube into the fitting until you reach the ½” mark on the tube. You will feel resistance when the tube reaches the small rubber O ring inside the fitting. You will need to wiggle the tube and apply additional pressure to get it past this O ring and create the seal. If the tube is not ½” into the fitting and past the O ring, no seal will be created and leaking will occur. 5. Once the tube is fully inserted into the fitting, pop the blue lock clip back on the fitting. This will lock the tube in place and prevent it from moving.

1. It’s highly recommended to watch the Y ouTube video “ H ow To Drill Faucet Holes ” to get a better understanding of the process. Depending on what kind of countertop you have, you may want to hire an experienced professional to ensure the hole is drilled correctly. 2. Choose a half inch Diamond Core Bit for granite, and a titanium drill bit for steel. Do NOT use a hammer drill on nature stone, glass, and ceramic. 3. An indent should be made with a punch on steel before drilling to help guide the bit. 4. Use caution when drilling on a Porcelain sink, as it could be easily chipped. Set drill speed on slow. Press the bit downward firmly until breaking through the slippery surface. 5. Use coolant to disperse heat. Choose water for granite, and oil for steel. Use the Water Suction Cup to hold coolant inside and prevent the drill bit from slipping. 6. Starting at slowest speed, hold the drill firmly and vertically and prevent the drill bit from slipping on the counter. 7. Once breaking through the smooth surface, swirl the drill a little to apply pressure in a circle evenly. 8. Be patient and deliberate. It can take 20 – 40 minutes to drill through one inch.

80, the higher the faster). 8.8 After the tank is full, open the RO Drinking Faucet to drain the tank completely. Do not use the first tank of water. Let it drain into the sink until the stream turns back to a trickle this means the tank has emptied and you can close the RO faucet to let it begin filling again. 8.9 * If your system has a UV filter, plug in the UV power and check to make sure the UV light is turning on when water flows through it. The UV filter has a Flow Sensor Switch that detects water flow and only turns the light on when needed. 8.10 The TDS (total dissolved solids) of the water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly. iSpring RO systems have earned W QA GOLD SEAL by exceeding NSF/ANSI standard 58 and should be giving a 90%+ TDS rejection rate, so if your tap water is 100ppm you should be getting 10ppm or less from the RO water (200/20>, 400/40> etc.). TDS is measured with a TDS meter it is an inexpensive, easy to use device that can be found on Amazon.com or 123filter.com by searching “TDS3”. 8.11 Check for leaks daily for the first two weeks after installation to ensure the system is functioning properly. Install the included Flood Alarm to provide additional peace of mind and protection. Page 15 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...

ISPRING RO SYSTEM MAINTENANCE All iSpring RO systems are designed with ease of use and low maintenance in mind. If the filter cartridges are changed on schedule as suggested below, the system will work properly for years to come. Note: Stages 6 and/or 7 only exist on certain models. To order replacement filters for your system, visit 123Filter.com and search your system’s model number. Stage 1 – 3 PreFilters Replace every 6 months, or sooner if you notice a decrease in water flow or quality. The replacement frequency depends on your water usage and source water quality. To protect the RO membrane from chlorine and other damaging contaminants, it is important to change the prefilters according to schedule. How to change the stage 1 – 3 prefilters: 1. Shut off the cold water supply valve and tank valve, and open the RO faucet to depressurize the system. Place a bucket or towel under the system to catch any water spills. 2. If there is enough room under the sink and the filter system is hung on the wall, you can twist the filter housing off without removing the system from the wall. Otherwise, you will need to pull the system out, lay it down, and remove the housings at that point. Be careful with the tubing connections when removing the system. 3. Twist off the filter housings in a counterclockwise direction using the filter housing wrench. Refer to Installation Step 1.1 to install the new vertical filter cartridges, and tighten the filter housings back on. Remember not to over tighten them or they will be hard to unscrew next time. Stage 4 RO Membrane: Replace every 2 – 3 years or sooner if the TDS level starts increasing. Page 17 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...

3. Remove the tubing from the quickconnect fitting on the membrane housing cap. Use the membrane housing wrench to twist off the housing cap in a counterclockwise direction. 4. Pull out the old membrane. Use scissors or pliers to apply leverage if necessary. 5. Clean the membrane housing using hot water and scentfree dish soap (optional). Rinse thoroughly. 6. Cut open the small end of the vacuum sealed packaging containing the new RO membrane. Hold the new membrane through the packaging, and insert it into the housing without touching the membane with your bare hands to avoid contamination of the membrane. Make sure the Oring is properly seated on the end of the membrane housing as shown in the previous images. We recommend replacing the Oring every 3 years to prevent leaking due to an expired or dried out Oring. Place the membrane housing cap back on and hand tighten it, then use the housing wrench to tighten it another ¼½ of a turn. Do not over tighten. Stage 5 FT15 Inline Post Carbon Filter and Stage 6 Inline Alkaline Filter (if your system has one): Replace the FT15 every 12 months and the Alkaline filter every 6 months 1. Remove all quickconnect tubing connections from the FT15 Post Carbon Filter. 2. Unscrew the fittings from both ends of the old Post Carbon Filter. Wrap the thread of each fitting 23 times with Teflon tape, and screw them into their respective sides on the new Post Carbon Filter. 3. Reconnect the quick connect tubing connections to the new Post Carbon Filter. PreFilter and Membrane Housing ORings: Replace every 3 years To prevent possible leaking due to an expired Oring. The package comes with 3 spare Orings for the prefilter housings, and 1 spare Oring for the membrane housing. Save them with this manual for future use.

Figure 13: Flow Sensor Switch for UV Filter The models with a UV stage have a “U” in their model number, such as R CC7U , R CC7AKUV , RCC1UPAK, RCC1UP, etc. The UV module comes preinstalled on models with a UV filter. Refer to the photos above for a better understanding on how the UV components are assembled and work together. Ice Maker Kit (ICEK) The Ice Maker Kit (model#: iSpring ICEK ) can be purchased separately to feed RO water to your refrigerator for crystal clear ice cubes and great tasting water. If you choose to hook up the system to your refrigeratior output, it can take the place of primary output over the RO faucet. Page 19 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...
Yes! Sometimes better, depending how well the bottled water company is maintaining their purification equipment. Reverse Osmosis is the same process used by most major bottled water companies. Even some companies that use "spring water" still use Reverse Osmosis to ensure purity. I have heard that reverse osmosis wastes a lot of water! It wastes a little but not a lot. On average, these systems will use less than 2% of your home's total water consumption. In addition, all of our Reverse Osmosis Systems use automatic shut off valves, immediately stopping the drain when the tank is full. The ratio of drain water to RO water is 2:13:1 for all of our RO systems. For a regular residential household, the waste water per day averages to about two to three flushes of the toilet. What is an Alkaline Filter? The Alkaline filter changes the acidic RO water into a perfect Natural Alkali Calcium Ionized Water. The Alkaline filter simply gives back minerals such as ionized calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium ion, which were taken away while purifying the water. Produces pHbalanced alkaline water, helps minimize the fluctuations of your body's pH. ● Turns acidic drinking water into alkali calcium ion water. ● The natural calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium ions can be absorbed 100% by the ● body. These minerals are easily absorbed by the body because they have structurally smaller ● molecules which help the body take in more water and replenish lost water quicker. Makes the water cleaner and healthier. ● Improves the qualities of RO water by adding necessary minerals for proper human ● development, such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and others readily found in many natural mineral waters. Mainly installed with RO systems to complement their absolute filtration qualities. ● Page 21 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...
What is a DI filter? DI stands for deionization. The DI filter takes reverse osmosis to a higher level of filtration. It is an excellent inline filter, especially for those who live in areas with exceptionally high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) in their tap water. The DI filter takes the small percentage of contaminants that the membrane could not remove and filters the water to 99.99% purity, and give you close to 0 ppm TDS. Conductivity attainable less than 0.1uS/cm or resistivety of close to 18 meg.ohm. What is a UV filter? Our UV filter comes with an 11W UV sterilization lamp in a stainless still housing. The UV kills 99% of viruses and bacteria in the water. The UV light has wavelengths between 250 and 270 nanometers (UVC or UVC band) and is extremely effective in killing many species of bacteria, mold spores, viruses and other microorganisms. It is recommended for customers who use well water, rain water, or have bacteria concerns in their water. What is a TDS meter? A TDS meter is a handheld Total Dissolved Solids tester. TDS is the total weight of all solids dissolved in a given volume of water. It is expressed in parts per million (PPM). With a TDS meter, you can compare the quality of the RO water with your original source water, and also periodically check the RO water to know when it’s time to change the filters. Maximum distance from tank to faucet We recommend staying under a total distance of 15 feet of tubing between the tank and the RO faucet or output location. The system will produce a faster flow at the faucet with the shortest tubing run from tank to faucet. What is an ASOV and what does it do? The ASOV is the automatic shutoff valve. This valve allows the system to turn off the water supply using pressure from the pure water side of the system. The ASOV is a critical piece to the system as it saves water, extends filter life, and improves the performance of the unit. As the storage tank fills, the tank pressure increases. When the tank fills completely, a pressure signal is sent to the ASOV, and the water supply to the system is shut off. Page 22 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...
Page 24
Does the UV filter run 24/7? Will the water out of UV filter be hot? The iSpring UV filter features a Smart Flow Sensor Switch that automatically turns the UV filter on and off by water flow. The UV stays off until the RO faucet is opened, which will then switch the UV filter on via water flow. So the UV filter only runs when needed, and does not heat the water either. How does your RCS5T tankless RO system compare to the GE Merlin 700GPD system? Our tankless RCS5T RO system is a complete 5stage filtration system, with 3 pre filters (Sediment, GAC, and CTO), SideFlow® membrane, and post carbon filter, while the GE Merlin 700GPD has only one prefilter (either sediment or carbon), two membranes, and 1 post filter. Therefore, the GE Merlin is used in light commercial applications where a separate prefilter system or backwashing carbon filter system will be required. Furthermore, our tankless RCS5T RO system utilizes patented SideFlow membrane technology, delivering a waste ratio equal to or less than 1:1, compared to 3:1 in other systems. Page 23 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...
MAKE SURE ORINGS are staying in place during this process. Then use a wrench to tighten (no need to over tighten it). If the membrane housing is leaking, please make sure the Oring is seated correctly as shown in the manual. It should be seated on the end of the membrane housing before the threads begin. When in the correct place, there will not be any pressure or tension on the Oring. Low water pressure at the RO faucet or output location ● Have you given the system enough time to fill up the tank? If you just installed the system, give it 1.52 hours to fill the tank. ● What is the total distance between the tank and the output location? If it is over 15 feet or going vertically, the pressurized tank is struggling to push out the water at an adequate pace. Shorten the distance beetween the tank and output location, or add a delivery/demand pump to assist with the output. Do not confuse this with a Booster Pump which is only for raising the INPUT pressure. ● The stage 5 Post Carbon Filter is clogged and needs to be replaced. ● If you are dispensing the RO water through your refrigerator, remove the filter that is currently installed in your fridge. ● What is the incoming water PSI to your home? If it is below 45 PSI, we recommend getting a system with a booster pump so the reverse osmosis process can be performed correctly. If you water pressure is below 45 PSI, there will not be enough water pressure to push the water through the RO membrane on a continous basis. ● Incorrect air pressure in the tank. Shut off the main water supply to the system, and open the faucet to drain the tank. After the faucet stops dripping, close the tank valve, remove the connected yellow tube, and take the tank outside or somewhere that can get wet. Remove the tank valve from the top of the tank, and turn it upside down to drain out any remaining water. Then, use a standard tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure at the nozzle on the bottom half of the tank. The air nozzle is under a screw off blue cap. If the pressure is not between 710 Page 24 w ww.123filter.com | (678) 2617611 | upport@123Filter.com ...
4. Use a gauge at the front air valve to check tank pressure. It should be within 710 PSI. If too low, you can use a bicycle pump to add more pressure to the tank. 5. Reconnect tank to the system and turn on the water supply. Continuous Drain All RO systems require drain water. The drain water should run only when the system is producing water. The ratio of drain water to RO water is about 2:13:1 for our residential RO systems (SideFlow systems have a lower 1:1 ratio). The drain should stop after the tank is full. Allow 3 hours to ensure the tank has been filled completely. If the drain is still running, try the following to determine the cause: What is your incoming water pressure? If it is below 45 PSI, this is likely the cause of the ● continous drain. When there is not enough water pressure to force the water through the RO membrane, most or all of the water will go to the drain. Because the water is unable to get through the RO membrane, the tank never fills up, and never triggers the system to cut off the water supply. Close the tank valve and wait 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the black drain line from ● the drain pipe to see if it has stopped draining continously. If it has stopped, we will know the continous drain has something to do with the tank, and you will want to follow the directions below to check the air pressure in the tank. If it has not stopped, we will know it has something to do with the system, likely the automatic shutoff valve (ASOV) or check valve (the check valve is the elbow fitting at the pure water outlet of the membrane housing). If the continous drain stopped after you closed the tank valve, you will want to measure the air ● pressure in the tank. Shut off the main water supply to the system, and open the faucet to drain the tank. After the faucet stops dripping, close the tank valve, remove the connected yellow tube, and take the tank outside or somewhere that can get wet. Remove the tank valve from the top of the tank, and turn it upside down to drain out any remaining water. Then, use a standard tire pressure gauge to check the air pressure at the nozzle on the bottom half of the tank. The air nozzle is under a screw off blue cap. If the pressure is not between 710 PSI, use a bicycle pump to get the air pressure within that range and reconnect the tank to the system.

Tastes and Odors in Product Water Possible Cause Solution Carbon Post Filter is exhausted. Replace Filter. There is foreign matter in Holding Tank. Clean, flush and sanitize the Holding Tank.. Replace filters. Product water and Drain water lines are reversed. Correct plumbing. Dissolved gases in feed water. Pretreat feed water to remove gasses. Increase in Product Water TDS. See High TDS in Product Water Section Faucet Leaks or Drips Adjust the faucet by turning the tee bar located under the handle to provide a small amount of free play in the handle when shut off. Should this not work, repair or replace the faucet. Cloudy Water and Ice Cubes If you just installed the system, you are very likely seeing many tiny air bubbles in the water. During the first week or two after installing the system or changing filters, the system will be clearing itself of every nook and cranny of trapped air. After installation, the water out of the RO faucet is only a trickle Reverse osmosis is a very slow process. The pressurized tank is included so the RO water can be produced over a couple hours, and then be readily available when you open the RO faucet. After installation, you will need to let the tank fill for 1.52 hours before seeing a steady stream from the faucet.
