SpectraPure ® SINGLE MEMBRANE SYSTEM - 100 GPD & 200 GPD: Feed Water TFC RO Membrane (ELIM-MEM-100 or Attaches ELIM-MEM- 200) & Housing Here 5 micron Carbon Block Blue Product Yellow Waste Filter Water Tubing Water Tubing (ELIM-IL-CB-12) SpectraPure Inc.
SpectraPure ® WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS: Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors. To remove the tubing from its push fitting: 1. 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.
8. 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 is recommended that at least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified water be discarded now before collecting purified water for use.
SpectraPure ® CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Carbon Filter will usually last 4-6 months, depending on the chlorine (or chloramine) content of your tap water. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Prefilter needs replacement is to use a chlorine test kit.
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.
TESTING THE QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE: The performance of a RO membrane is measured by its ability to reject salts or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). This procedure will require a TDS Meter. SpectraPure offers several models: ELIM-MTR-TDS-EZ HM Digital Hand-held TDS Meter...
SpectraPure ® Rejection of the RO Membrane Calculation Example 1. Tap water TDS = 150 ppm (X) 2. RO water TDS = 15 ppm (Y) 3. X - Y = 135 ppm 4. (X - Y) ÷ X = 135 ÷ 150 = 0.90 5.
SpectraPure ® TIPS FOR LONG MEMBRANE LIFE: 1. Replacement of 5 micron carbon block filter at least once every 6 months or when chlorine breakthrough occurs or when water production is severly reduced. This will ensure good membrane life and protect the membrane from chlorine damage.
