Page 4: Prepare The Appliance For Installation
C. PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION Open the shipping carton and remove the components. Check to see that all of the installation parts are present. They should include the purification assembly, storage tank, faucet, installation hardware, RO membrane cartridge and tubing. Check to see that the air supply in the empty tank is approxi- mately 7 psi (48 kPa). -

E. MOUNT THE FAUCET Undercounter installations generally require that the faucet's built-in air gap be used. In basement installations, the built-in air gap does not have to be used if one is provided elsewhere on the drain line. For Basement Installations Without An Air Gap Module See Installation Instructions O. -

IMPORTANT WATER QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS Reverse Osmosis drinking water appliances contain treat- ment components that are critical for the effective reduction of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) as well as inorganic chemical contaminants. Water Factory Systems that the user test the water periodically (every six months mini- mum) to verify that the appliance is performing satisfactorily. -
Page 13: Replacing The Ro Membrane Cartridge
The life of the RO membrane cartridge depends on the local water conditions and proper maintenance, e.g., regular fil- ter changes. Under typical conditions, the RO membrane life ranges from 18-36 months. Unlike the filter cartridges, the RO membrane cartridge life is not determined by the amount of water used because of its self-cleaning feature. -
