NOTE: Use included TDS tester to test water quality quarterly (every 3 months). Verify a minimum 80% TDS reduction between inlet (raw) water and outlet (product) water. IMPORTANT: Do not use where the water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Page 7: Installation Notes
INSTALLATION NOTES Be sure fittings are properly tightened. Most fittings come pre-taped from the factory. Whenever connecting threaded fittings, make certain there is sufficient Teflon tape around the threads to maintain a water-tight seal. All plastic-to-plastic fitting connections should be hand tightened, then turned an additional 1 –...
Page 8: Start-Up Steps
Figure 3 details the coding system for the fitting connections. Each fitting has a unique “keyed” socket on the manifold. Each fitting also has a graphic symbol molded into the elbow with a corresponding symbol on the manifold. The locking clip also has the same markings (Figure 4). 10.
Page 9: Pump Details
50 PSI (3.4 bar) and temperatures will be higher than 50°F (10°C). The WHRO-700 system works like a commercial RO system. It uses two membrane elements in series to produce the high flow of permeate (filtered water). The concentrate (drain water) from element one is channeled into the inlet at the second element for...
Page 10: System Recovery
90 gallons runs to drain (i.e., 10% recovery). The WHRO-700 system is designed to operate between 33% and 50% recovery. The two primary factors affecting system recovery are temperature and pressure. In high-pressure, high-water temperature areas such as Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ the system should operate close to 50% recovery.
Page 11: Contaminant Rejection
CONTAMINANT REJECTION The WHRO-700 is designed to reject (remove) an average of 90% of dissolved contaminants. So long as the inlet water TDS levels are above the minimum requirements (see Table 1.0), this leaves just enough dissolved solids in the permeate (filtered water) to prevent system corrosion, which can be caused by prolonged exposure to pure water.

Table 3.0 - Booster Pump Flow and Pressure Capabilities For further pump details, including maintenance procedures, please refer to separate manual included with pump. MAINTENANCE TASK FREQUENCY PART NUMBER Test Water Quality: Compare inlet (raw) water to outlet (product) water to confirm a minimum 80% reduction in Use handheld TDS tester 3 months TDS level.
Page 13: Filter/Membrane Replacement
Turn counterclockwise FILTER/MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT to loosen Turn off water supply to RO system by changing switching the valve control from “run to “off”. The system will be depressurized when the feed pressure gauge reads zero. Disconnect the locking bar and place the fittings (with tubing still connected) into a tub or bucket to collect any water than may drain from the tubing.

BULK CARBON FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT (MAX SYSTEMS ONLY!) INITIAL INSTALLATION Remove cap from cartridge tank and then push top cap down equally with both hands to unseat the retaining ring. Remove the ring from the groove by carefully grasping the handle and pulling inward then upward. Ring will slide completely out of the groove.
Page 15: Performance Log
PERFORMANCE LOG WCC recommends that a performance log be kept to assist with system troubleshooting. WCC recommends that the performance log be updated weekly. The performance log can be helpful to help determine when pre-filters or RO membranes require service or will require service in the near future. DATE FEED PRESSURE (PSI) PERMEATE FLOW RATE (GPM)
Page 16: Warranty
Limited Warranty Water Control Corporation warrants the RO system and pump to be free from manufacturer’s defects for a period of 1 (one) year from the date of installation, and the storage tank, to be free from leaking due to manufacturers defects for a period of 5 (five) years.
Page 17: Appendix A - Taking Water Quality Measurements
APPENDIX A – TAKING WATER QUALITY MEASUREMENTS 1) Remove the protective cap 2) Turn the TDS meter on. The ON/OFF switch is located on the panel 3) Immerse the meter into the water/solution up to the max immersion level (2”). If necessary, use a clean plastic cup to capture sample.

APPENDIX C – FIELD WIRING (FLOAT SWITCH CONNECTION) APPENDIX D – OZONE SANITIZING SYSTEM OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS The ozone generator is included to keep stored water clean and sanitary. WARNING: Do not inhale ozone. Ozone can damage lungs if inhaled. Go immediately to fresh air if exposed. Keep out of reach of children.
Page 19 7) Press the Plus (+) or Minus (-) buttons to select another function if desired 8) After the run cycle is complete, the air compressor will run for 10 seconds and will automatically shut off NOTE: This ozone generator is not rated for continuous operation. Do not intentionally run the unit without a minimum pause of 15 minutes between each run cycle FUNCTION DESCRIPTION...
