Concentrate Flow Rate (3:1) 236 ml/min 708 ml/min Reverse Osmosis Membrane Feed Water Requirements: For the 1 year SpectraPure TFC membrane prorated warranty to be honored, the following conditions must be met: Operating Pressure* 40 – 80 psi (2.75 – 5.5 bar) pH Range 3 –...
SpectraPure ® SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The SpectraPure High Chloramine Removal system is a five -stage reverse osmosis ® deionization system. First, the incoming feed water is passed through a 0.5 micron MicroTec™ sediment prefilter. This filter is required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may cause the membrane to become fouled.

SpectraPure ® WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS: Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors. To remove the tubing from its push fitting: Firmly depress and hold the push fitting collar down with your thumbnail. 2. While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out of the push fitting.
Cut the black tubing in two and reconnect the two cut ends with the ball valve, if desired. (continued on next page) SpectraPure Inc . ® Fax 480.894.6109 Fax us toll-free 1.877.527.7873 E-mail: sales@spectrapure.com Visit us on the web www.spectrapure.com...
20. Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before leaving the system unattended. (If anything is leaking, contact SpectraPure for assistance.) NOTE: It may take several days of normal operation for the membrane to reach its full production rate.
SpectraPure ® METERING AND DIAGNOSTICS: This SpectraPure purification system has been fully equipped with sufficient instrumentation to make monitoring and troubleshooting an easy process. The provided pressure gauge is used to determine the tap water pressure and to evaluate the condition of the sediment and carbon prefilters.
SpectraPure ® TESTING THE QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE: MEMBRANE OUTPUT CALCULATION Membranes produce the rated gallons per day (GPD) at 60 psi (4.1 bars) operating pressure, 77°F (25°C) operating temperature and 250 ppm total dissolved solids. Membrane output gallons per day (GPD) depends on operating pressure, water temperature and the ppm TDS in the feed water.
Rejection = [ ( X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100 = 0.953 ×100 = 95.3 Membrane TDS Rejection = 95.3 %: Rejection rates less than 95% may indicate that the membrane should be replaced.

SpectraPure ® SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT: For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment and carbon prefilters must be changed when a 15-20% drop in pressure is observed OR at least 6 month intervals. If your water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the prefilters may require more frequent changes to maintain adequate production rate and extended membrane life.
NOTE: Do not use filter wrench to tighten housings. Over-tightening will damage housings and void your warranty. Warning: SpectraPure does not recommend drinking deionized water.

SpectraPure ® RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT: 1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. 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.
14. If the rejection rate is below 96%, run the system for another hour and repeat step 12. 15. The system is now ready for use. SpectraPure Inc . ® Fax 480.894.6109 Fax us toll-free 1.877.527.7873 E-mail: sales@spectrapure.com Visit us on the web www.spectrapure.com...
SpectraPure ® Membrane Troubleshooting Guide The following chart illustrates the procedure for determination of RO membrane performance. However, the chart represents only rough guidelines for determining performance of RO membrane. Depending on your tap water chemistry, the rejection characteristics of the membrane may vary significantly.
3. Your RO System must be protected from freezing or t e m p e r a t u r e s above 113° F (45°C). 4. MEMBRANE WARNING: All SpectraPure RO membranes must remain moist at all times. Do not open or remove the membrane from its bag until ready for use.
SpectraPure ® TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR RO/DI SYSTEMS: Low production rate: a. plugged prefilters. i. Replace prefilters. b. low water temperature ii. Warm feed water OR use higher GPD membrane. c. low line pressure. iii. Use booster pump OR use higher GPD membrane.
