Classic Hydroponics 200 GPD 5-Stage RO Unit
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Guide
Thank you for purchasing an Aquatic Life Reverse Osmosis Unit.
When maintained properly, this unit will provide you with years of service.
OVERVIEW
Reverse osmosis is the process of removing
contaminants from tap water using special
semi-permeable membranes. By applying
water pressure across the membranes,
contaminants are concentrated on one side
of the membranes and filtered water on the
other side of the membranes. This is why
reverse osmosis units have a waste water
line as well as a filtered line.
In addition to the membranes, water
is filtered prior to the membrane with
a sediment cartridge to remove larger
particulates, and two carbon blocks to
remove chlorine and other materials.
The cartridges and membrane on your
unit are designed for placement inside the
canisters. It is important the cartridges be
installed in the correct order to effectively
filter the water.

warranty issues, contact Aquatic Life at

Model# 540474
WARNING:
chlorine, but NOT chloramines.
Test your water and/or check
with your local water company to
find out if you have chloramines
in your water.
WARNING:
carefully before proceeding with
installation. Your failure to follow
any attached instructions and
operating parameters may lead
to the product's failure.
OPERATING GUIDELINES
DO NOT use with water that is micro-
biologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or
after the unit.
The maximum incoming water pressure
for the unit is 80 PSI.
If the pressure is more than 80 PSI, a pressure
regulator is required. If the water pressure is
less than 40 PSI, a booster pump is needed.
Water hardness should not exceed 10
grains per gallon or 170 parts per million.
Operating above this may shorten the
membrane life.
Reverse osmosis filtered water should
not be run through a copper tube.
RO water can leach copper from the pipe,
eventually leading to holes in the pipe.
DO NOT operate the unit unattended.
