Page 7: Functional Description
Functional Description Feed water enters the 5-micron pre-filter, which filters out suspended particles such as dirt or sediment. The filtered water then enters the pre-carbon filter (3 sump models only), which contains granular activated carbon, which removes any chlorine from the water. The water then enters the reverse osmosis membrane. -
Page 8: Installation Requirements
These RO systems contain a replaceable treatment component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specification, as defined by WaterGroup to assure the same efficiency. Product water shall be tested periodically to verify the system is performing properly. - Page 9 To Prepare Tubing Cut tube ends square and straight. Do not deform tube (i.e., cause tube to compress its diameter so it is no longer round). Make sure outer surface of tube is clear of marks or scratches for a length equal to twice tube diameter. This allows "O"...

Page 14: Start-Up Procedure
Start-Up Procedure WARNING: To prevent microbiological growth and freezing, this reverse osmosis system contains a preservative solution which, if ingested, may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea or other similar symptoms. Therefore, 5 gallons (approximately two full tanks) must be drawn from the spigot to flush out the preservative. This may represent two or three days of running, depending on conditions of the feed water. -
Page 15: Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance Schedule This schedule is designed for the average potable water supply and should be followed to ensure the proper functioning of your drinking water system. Pre-Filter - The pre-filter contains a 5 micron mechanical filter element. Its function is to remove suspended particles from the feed water, thus reducing the possibility of clogging the reverse osmosis membrane. -
Page 16: Sanitization Procedure For Your Reverse Osmosis System
Sanitization Procedures for your Reverse Osmosis System Sanitization is a simple but important part of a regular maintenance routine required to keep your Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System operating properly. Recording the dates of all maintenance and sanitization done on the unit is a good idea as well as marking on your calendar future service interval dates. - Page 17 Sanitization Steps STEP 1: TURN OFF WATER SUPPLY - CLOSE INLET SUPPLY ALL THE STEP 2: DEPRESSURIZE SYSTEM - OPEN FAUCET SUPPLY UNTIL ALL WATER IS EMPTIED Use a clean drip pan or basin to continue to catch any spilled water remaining in the housings as you remove the membrane and cartridges.
- Page 18 STEP 8: POUR THE MIXED DISINFECTANT SOLUTION INTO THE 1ST PRE-FILTER SUMP AND RE-INSTALL. STEP 9: OPEN THE INLET VALVE AND OPEN THE FAUCET. WHEN WATER BEGINS RUNNING FROM THE FAUCET AGAIN, CLOSE THE FAUCET AND ALLOW THE PRESSURE TANK TO FILL FOR 5 - 10 MINUTES.
