5. STEPS AFTER INSTALLATION

VERIFICATION OF THE UNIT'S OPERATING PARAMETERS
1. Measure time needed to fill the tank. Tank is filled when the dumping of the concentrate into
the drain has stopped. The value obtained is dependent on the supply water pressure (pressure
in water mains).
2. Measure recovery (proportion of supply water that becomes purified). You will need 1 L
measuring cup and a stopwatch.
Shut off tank valve 6, open faucet 3 and measure time that the unit takes to produce 1 L of
permeate (purified water), then close faucet 3. Write down the result (t
below).
Disconnect the black tube connected to sink drain from drain saddle. Open faucet 3 and measure time
that the unit takes to produce 1 L of concentrate (waste water), then close faucet 3 and open tank valve
6. Write down the result (t
Where t is the number of seconds to obtain 1 L of water, R is recovery.
3. Measure TDS of supply water and TDS of purified water using a calibrated TDS meter.
4. Check if the auto shut-off valve functions properly. Close tank valve 6 and faucet 3. The unit must
stop operating (water should stop being discharged to drain) within 10 minutes.
5. Check the unit for leaks.
6. Advise unit owner on filter maintenance and encourage to read this manual.
7. Make record of commissioning in the maintenance log in paragraph 9 of this book.

6. USAGE

Domestic reverse osmosis system is designed for purification of cold water only.
If the filling time of the tank increased, this means that the pre-filter cartridges are worn out and
should be urgently replaced. Delay in the replacement of cartridges can lead to deterioration or
destruction of the membrane.
To aviod such critical situations, it is strongly recommended that you change pre-filter cartridges at
least once every 3 months.
If the rate of filtration drops significantly and is not helped by replacing pre-filters, you need to
replace reverse osmosis membrane.
To enjoy purified water of consistent quality, it is recommended to replace the membrane at least
once in 1-1.5 years.
In case of prolonged downtime (2 weeks or more), it is necessary to sanitize the system as described
in paragraph 7.
If you plan on leaving for an extended while, it is recommended to shut off the water supply.
