Page 12: System Installation & Initialization
SpectraPure ® SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION: 1. Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to damage by ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as metal halide lighting. 2. Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to bright light or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings when exposed to bright light. -
Page 13: Install The Float Valve
22. 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.) 23. It may take several days of normal operation for the membrane to reach its full production rate. -
Page 14: Float Valve Illustration
SpectraPure ® FLOAT VALVE ILLUSTRATION: HOW IT WORKS: The increasing water level raises the Float Valve in the reservoir and stops the flow of water. Pressure builds up in the product line and ASO Valve until the ASO Valve shuts off the flow of waste water to drain. This “OFF”... -

In hard water conditions, you may use the GREEN FR to save water, but the RO membrane will not last as long, as it will plug up with hardness much more quickly.

Page 16: The Manual Flush Valve (-Mf Versions)
SpectraPure ® THE MANUAL FLUSH VALVE (-MF Versions): The Manual Flush Valve is located in parallel with the flow restrictor (see page 11) and, when opened, provides a high-flow bypass of waste water used to purge concentrated brine from the membrane housing and rapidly flush any particulates from the membrane surface. -
Page 17: Metering And Diagnostics
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. The pressure will drop as the prefilters become clogged by dirt [turbidity] from the tap water. -
Page 18: Using The Pressure Gauge
SpectraPure ® USING THE PRESSURE GAUGE: The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the Sediment and Carbon Prefilters. With the Sediment and Carbon filters removed, the gauge will indicate the “actual” tap water input pressure. When the prefilters are “new”, the pressure shown on the gauge will be slightly less than the... -

NOTE: Do not use filter wrench to tighten housings. Over-tight- ening will damage housings and void your warranty. 6. Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.

Page 20: Carbon Block Filter Replacement
SpectraPure ® CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Carbon Filter will usually lasts 4-6 months ,depending on the chlorine (or chloramine) content of your tap water and quantity of water being produced. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Prefilter needs replacement is to use a chlorine test kit. -

Page 22: Ro Membrane Replacement
SpectraPure ® RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT: 1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system where the membrane housing(s) can be easily accessed. 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. -

3. Membrane should not be operated at lower than the minimum 2:1 concentrate to purified water ratio. 4. Operating reverse osmosis systems on softened feed water greatly reduces the chances of membrane fouling.
