i NOTICE This instruction manual was written to guide a professional plumber to make an easy installation of the VERTEX Pure Water Machine. The installation shall conform to state and local laws and regulations. This manual covers systems with 36 allon per day membranes (PT-4.0, PT-4.0/P, PT- 4.0/5, PT-4.0/5/P) and systems with 50 gallons per day membranes (PT-4.0/50, PT- 4.0/P/50), PT-4.0/5/50, PT-4.0/5/P/50). -

1.0 INTRODUCTION The VERTEX Pure Water Machine is a 4-stage water cleansing system. The princi- pal 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. -

2.0 INSTALLATION Before starting the installation, you should measure the water pressure that is avail- able 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 F i g . 1 .

2.6 Installation of clean water faucet (Fig. 6) The faucet should be positioned with aesthetics, function, and con- S t e p 1 . venience in mind. An ample flat Pilot Drill area is required for the faucet base so that it can be drawn down tight. The space under the sink below where the faucet will be mounted must be clear of any obstructions. -

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. -

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. If the leak persists, unscrew the housing and re-seat the “O” ring into the groove For the in-line post filter, loosen both compression fittings and remove tubing as well as complete fitting.

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 util- ities 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.

Page 22: Appendix A: Theory Of Operation
Appendix A: Theory of Operation Flow Schematic (See figure A-1) A.1 Pre-Filters: The pre-filters have two purposes, one is to clean the water for better consumption, and the second is to prevent the RO membrane from being fouled. The first stage filter removes sedi- ment materials such as sand, rust, pipe scale, and dirt. -
Page 23: Auto Control
The reverse osmosis technology will, on average, reject 93% of the total dissolved solids in the incoming water. Over time, the RO membrane will foul with a very thin layer of mate- rials and the efficiency will drop, so that the TDS content of the clean water will rise. When it rises to greater than 30% of the inlet TDS value, it is an indicator that the RO membrane should be replaced. - Page 24 VERTEX WATER PRODUCTS Montclair, CA M-1 REV.
