SpectraPure ® OPERATION DESCRIPTION (how the system functions) 1. The incoming feed water (3/8” Black line) is passed through a 0.2 micron ZetaZorb™ Sediment Filter. This filter is required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may cause the carbon block filter to plug.
SpectraPure ® PREPARATION 1. CHOOSING THE BEST MOUNTING LOCATION: LIGHT SOURCE: Algae is more likely to thrive inside clear housings when exposed to ultraviolet light and other sources like metal halide lighting. Avoid installing the unit in bright light or direct sunlight.
SpectraPure ® GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SYSTEM: If you are setting up this system for the first time, or replacing either DI cartridges, it is very important that you rinse the MaxCap ® DI cartridge with the downstream DI removed. There is a large ionic load present in a new MaxCap ®...
SpectraPure ® SETUP PROCEDURES STEP 1: Unscrew the third position housing (MaxCap DI) and the fourth position housing ® (SilicaBuster DI) from the system and remove the DI Cartridges. Then, reinstall the empty housings back onto the system. STEP 2: Connect the 1/4" Black Line to the cold water line by using either the garden hose adapter, which is provided with the system, or a Feed Water Adapter.
SpectraPure ® SETUP PROCEDURES (continued) STEP 4: For now, direct both the 1/4" blue (product or permeate) line and the yellow 3/8" (waste or concentrate) line to drain. STEP 5: Open the cold water (tap water) feed, connected to the black line. Plug in the 24 V trans- former to the UHE Module and connect to 120VAC power.

SpectraPure ® SETUP PROCEDURES (continued) STEP 10: FINAL CONNECTION: A. Direct the waste line (yellow ) to a drain or connect it permanently to a drain pipe via a Drain Saddle. (Drain Saddle is not included with system.) B. Inspect for leaks and do not leave the system alone until you are sure there are no leaks.
SpectraPure ® MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Maintenance and troubleshooting procedures have been made easy and effective with a combination of the (2) Dual TDS meters and a built-in pressure gauge. It is recommended that you keep replacement cartridges on hand, ready to install as soon as the monitor indicates that the cartridge in use is exhausted.
SpectraPure ® CARBON BLOCK PREFILTER REPLACEMENT: For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the Carbon prefilter must be changed when the Chlorine Test Kit shows more than 0.1ppm of chlorine in the waste water stream. Materials Required: 0.5 micron Carbon Block Filter (CF- 0.5 -10), Filter Wrench, Chlorine Test Kit (TK- CL-10 -KIT) Procedure: (SECOND FILTER ON LEFT WHEN FACING SYSTEM) 1.
SpectraPure ® REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE PRODUCTION RATE TESTING: Actual production rate of a membrane is dependent on two factors: Tap Water Pressure and Tap Water Temperature.* ° ° The testing standards for RO membranes are 60 psi (4.1 bar) tap water pressure and 77 F (25 C ) tap water temperature.
SpectraPure ® REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT: 1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system and unplug the transformer. Place the system where the membrane housing is easily accessible. 2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push fitting by depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the tubing from the push fitting.
SpectraPure ® DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGE MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT Materials Required: Filter wrench and DI cartridges NOTE: In order to receive an accurate reading, the system must be producing water for at least 10 minutes before reading the TDS meters. Maintenance for MaxCap DI Cartridge: ®...
