This manual covers systems with 36 gallon per day membranes (PT-4.0, PT-4.0/P, PT-4.0/5, PT-4.0/5/P) and systems with 50 gallon per day membranes (PT-504, PT-504P, PT-505, PT-505P). -
Page 5: Introduction
1.0 INTRODUCTION The VERTEX PureWaterMachine is a 4-stage water cleansing system. The principal cleansing of the water of dissolved solids is by the Reverse Osmosis membrane filter (stage 3). Stage One is a sediment filter which removes particles of rust, sand and other trash in the water line down to 5-microns in size. -
Page 6: Installation
2.0 INSTALLATION Before starting the installation, you should measure the water pressure that is available under the sink to power the Pure Water machine RO. If the pressure is less than 40-psig, it is too low; and if it is 90-psig, it may be too high. The solution if the pressure is too low is to use a model with a booster pump. - Page 7 Figure 1 UPC Approved Drain Connction (Not Included) 4-Stage system shown – 3 –...

Page 13: Air Gap Faucet Installation
Figure 8 2.10 Air-Gap Faucet Installation (Figure 8) Air-Gap Faucets are sometimes required by municipal code. The faucet is designed to take the waste water from the membrane to the top of the sink and then let it flow by gravity to the drain saddle. The objective is to prevent possible backup of drain water from the sink to the membrane in the event of a sink clog. -
Page 14: System Start Up
3.0 System Start-Up 3.1 Start-Up Start the system by opening the feed water ball valve. Make sure the ball valve on the storage tank is in the closed position. Check for leaks for at least 10 minutes. If water leaks from a fitting, retighten the fitting nut. Open the product water faucet and let the water flow until all the air has been expelled from the system. -

8.2 Arsenic Facts Arsenic (abbreviated As) is found naturally in some well water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste, or odor. It must be measured by a laboratory test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from your water utility. - Page 21 The standard model PT-4.0/P, 4-stage system with pump, has these additional features: 1. A 24 volt DC diaphragm pump powered by a step down transformer (115 VAC/24 VDC 60 Hz). An electrical outlet is recommended to be close by the RO installation point. 2.
