4-Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System
Installation and Operating Instructions
Model WRO-2550
IMPORTANT: Before installing this reverse osmosis system, make
certain your water supply complies with the following operating
specifications. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the
system and will void the warranty.

If the hardness of your water is above 10 gpg (171 mg/L), lime scale
will build up rapidly on the membrane. Scale buildup will plug the
membrane and make the system ineffective. We do not recommend
these reverse osmosis systems to be used with water in excess of
10 gpg (171 mg/L) hardness.
A maximum total level of approximately 0.01 ppm sulfide, iron or
manganese is permissible. See your local dealer to reduce these
substances in your water.
Tested by NSF International according to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 has
given 15.04 gallons per day. Source water test parameters are 50 psig,
77°F, pH of 7.5 ± 0.5 and 750 ppm total dissolved solids.
Parts Included:
