OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing the system, make certain
WARNING:
your water supply complies with the
following operating specifications. Failure
to do so may reduce the effectiveness
of the system and will void the warranty.
Consult your local water treatment utility or
a certified water testing lab to determine the
quality of your water and use the table below
to record your results for future reference.

If the hardness of your water is above 10 gpg (171 mg/L), lime scale will build
up rapidly on the membrane inside of the RO membrane cartridge. Scale
buildup will plug the RO membrane cartridge and make the system ineffective.
We do not recommend the PB5RO to be used with water in excess of 10 gpg
(171 mg/L) hardness, unless the water is softened prior to the reverse osmosis
system.
See your local dealer or water treatment specialist to reduce these substances
in your water.
