Page 5: General System Description
GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: This SpectraPure RODI System gives you a continuous supply of sparkling ® clear water. The reliability with the SpectraPure Water Treatment System is ® greatly improved over other systems. Costly maintenance can be avoided, providing high quality water at your fingertips. -
Page 6: Flow Restrictors And Test Strips
SpectraPure ® (continued from previous page) The MaxCap RODI system comes equipped with two Dual Inline TDS ® monitors. The two TDS meters monitor every step in the purification process. The IN probe of the left side meter shows the tap water TDS. The OUT probe of the left-side meter shows the RO water TDS. -
Page 7: Working With Push Fittings
SpectraPure ® WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS: Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors. To remove the tubing from its push fitting: 1. Firmly depress and hold the push fitting collar down with your thumbnail. 2. While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out of the push fitting. -

Page 10: System Installation & Initialization
SpectraPure ® SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION: 1. Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to damage by ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as metal halide lighting. 2. Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to bright light or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings when exposed to bright light. -
Page 11: Install The Float Valve
21. Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before leaving the system unattended. (If anything is leaking, contact SpectraPure for assistance.) 22. It may take several days of normal operation for the membrane to reach its full production rate. -
Page 12: Float Valve Illustration
SpectraPure ® FLOAT VALVE ILLUSTRATION: HOW IT WORKS: The increasing water level raises the Float Valve in the reservoir and stops the flow of water. Pressure builds up in the product line and ASO Valve until the ASO Valve shuts off the flow of waste water to drain. This “OFF”... -
Page 13: The Manual Flush Valve
SpectraPure ® THE MANUAL FLUSH VALVE: The Manual Flush Valve is located in parallel with the flow restrictor (see page 9) and, when opened, provides a high -flow bypass of waste water used to purge concentrated brine from the membrane housing and rapidly flush any particulates from the membrane surface. -
Page 14: Metering And Diagnostics
SpectraPure ® METERING AND DIAGNOSTICS: This SpectraPure purification system has been fully equipped with sufficient instrumentation to make monitoring and troubleshooting an easy process. The provided pressure gauge is used to determine the tap water pressure and to evaluate the condition of the sediment and carbon prefilters. The pressure will drop as the prefilters become clogged by sediment (turbidity) from the tap water. -
Page 15: Using The Pressure Gauge
SpectraPure ® USING THE PRESSURE GAUGE: The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the Sediment and Carbon Prefilters. With the Sediment and Carbon filters removed, the gauge will indicate the “actual” tap water input pressure. When the prefilters are “new”, the pressure shown on the gauge will be slightly less than the... -
Page 16: Sediment Prefilter Replacement
SpectraPure ® SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT: A Sediment Filter will usually last approx. 4-6 months, depending on the quality of the tap water and quantity of water being produced. (The life span of the filter is determined by the turbidity, iron content, organics, and total particulate volume in your water source). -
Page 17: Carbon Block Filter Replacement
SpectraPure ® CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Carbon Filter will usually last 4-6 months, depending on the chlorine (or chloramine) content of your tap water and quantity of water being produced. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Prefilter needs to be replaced is to use a chlorine test kit. -
Page 18: Maxcap Super Di Replacement
SpectraPure ® MAXCAP SUPER DI MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT: When the reading on the right-hand TDS meter (set to “IN”) displays 50% of the reading on the left-hand TDS meter (set to “OUT”), it is time to replace the MaxCap Extended Life Super DI cartridge (DI-MC-10HC). -
Page 19: Ro Membrane Replacement
SpectraPure ® RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT: 1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system where the membrane housing(s) can be easily accessed. 2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push fitting by depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the tubing from the push fitting. -
Page 20: Testing The Quality Of The Membrane
SpectraPure ® TESTING THE QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE: The performance of a reverse osmosis membrane is measured by its ability to reject salts or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). It is expressed as the percentage of the feedwater TDS that has been removed in the permeate (product) water. -
Page 21: Membrane Production Calculation
SpectraPure ® MEMBRANE PRODUCTION CALCULATION: Membrane output gallons per day (GPD) depends on operating pressure, water temperature and the TDS in the feed water. Membranes produce the rated gallons per day (GPD) at 60 psi (4.1 bars) operating pressure; 77°F (25°C) operating temperature; and with no more than 250 ppm total dissolved solids. -

Page 23: Storage
SpectraPure ® STORAGE: 1. We recommend that you store your RO System in a cool and dark place when not being used. 2. Your RO System must always be protected from freezing or temperatures above 113° F (45° C). OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES: PIGGYBACK UPGRADE KITS (PBK-90) —... -
