i. NOTICE
This instruction manual was written to guide a professional plumber to make an
easy installation of the Vertex EasyPur Water Machine™. The installation must
comply with state and local laws and plumbing codes.
This filter system can be installed by the homeowner who has suffi-
cient tools and skills. Be cautioned that an extra faucet for purified water will be
installed. This requires a 7/8-inch diameter hole in the sink top. If there is not an extra
hole existing, a new one must be drilled. For a porcelain sink, this requires a special
drill (7/8" Relton cutter) which costs about $150 and requires skill to use.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Vertex EasyPur Water Machine™ is a 5-stage water cleansing system. The
principal cleansing of the water of its dissolved solids is by the Reverse Osmosis
membrane filter (stage 4).
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.
Stage Two and Three are activated carbon block filters which remove odors, chlo-
rine and foreign tastes.
Stage Four is an advanced reverse osmosis membrane for removal of dissolved
solids. This is the heart of the system. The reverse osmosis technology removes 95%
of the dissolved solids on average. Dissolved solids are not removed by municipal
water treatment. That is why the Vertex EasyPur Water Machine™ is an impor-
tant safety factor for the water you drink and use in your cooking. Chemical conta-
minants such as mercury, lead, nitrates, pesticides and others not yet identified which
seep into municipal water systems are removed. Bacteria such as cryptosporidium,
giardia lamblia, and others yet unknown are removed.
The water pressure against the reverse osmosis membrane forces the water mol-
ecules through the membrane, but the larger contaminant molecules and bacteria are
kept behind and are flushed to the sewer. The clean water goes to the storage tank and
is held there ready to use.
Stage Five is a Carbon polishing filter to remove any foreign tastes or odors that
may occur from storing the water. When the faucet is opened, clean water from the
storage tank flows through the final polishing filter (Stage Five) of activated carbon
and into the faucet for your use. The tank is pre-pressurized with a bladder which
pushes the water out through Stage Five to the faucet.
A special faucet is installed on your sink which dispenses safe, good tasting
drinking water, which is especially good for coffee, tea and drinks. By extending a line
to your refrigerator, it can be used to make ice cubes.
LIFE. The filter life is specified by the number of gallons of water flowing
through the system. Normal household will use two to three gallons of purified water
daily. The filters are good for 1500 to 3000 gallons total usage. The Reverse Osmosis
membrane has a longer effective life-span (5-Year Maximum) and should be changed
once every 4 years.
