CONGRATULATIONS Your Spot Zero™ reverse osmosis system is a durable piece of equipment, which, with proper care, will last for many years. This User’s Manual outlines installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting details vital to the sustained performance of your system. Your system is designed to operate at a pressure of 80-150 psi, unless otherwise stated.

NOTE: THE SZ10KDF2 CARTRIDGE MUST BE FLUSHED OUTSIDE OF SYSTEM BEFORE OPERATING TO REMOVE CARBON DUST. You can head to www.spotzero.com/support to see demo videos. Do not attempt to clean used filter cartridges. The SZ10KDF2 is rated to absorb chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, etc. up to 18,000 gallons of feed water, which is the equivalent to approximately 100 hours of run time.

3. From the pre-filter outlet fitting, run the white nylon 1/2” Spot Zero water tubing to the feed from pre-filtration fitting. ½” QC Tube 4. From the “Overboard” discharge fitting, run the white nylon 1/2” Spot Zero water tubing to a dedicated overboard fitting. Water must be allowed to run freely, without any restrictions or blockage in the brine discharge line.

FEED FROM WATERMAKER 1. Connect the 3/8” product line from the water maker to the “WATER MAKER IN” fitting. Always install a three-way valve in line with this, so the water can be diverted to the spot zero system, or to the vessels fresh water tank. From Water Maker 3/8”...
STORAGE OR WINTERIZATION OF UNIT STORAGE If the vessel will not be able to allow for fresh water flushing over the duration of the storage period, the membrane vessels must have static water replaced with membrane storage chemical solution. Membrane storage chemical part # is 252404263. WINTERIZATION Option 1: Winterization with membrane rack removal - The best practice for winterization is to remove membrane rack and store with membrane storage chemical in heated storage climate.

5. Slowly remove the membrane element from the pressure vessel being careful not to grasp it by the permeate tube. Needle nose pliers may be necessary to pull the old membrane element out of the pressure vessel. 6. Remove new membrane element from container and inspect. Make sure that all parts are clean and free from dirt.
Page 34
10. With a smooth and constant motion, push the membrane element into the housing so that the brine seal enters the housing without coming out of the brine seal groove. A slow twisting motion should be used to insert the membrane element, to ensure that the brine seal stays in place.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE ABNORMAL PRODUCT FLOW As time progresses, the efficiency of the membrane will be reduced. In general, the salt rejection does not change significantly until two or three years after installation when operated on properly pretreated feed water. The permeate flow rate will begin to decline slightly after one year of operation but can be extended with diligent flushing and cleaning of the system.
TEMPERATURE CORRECTION FACTORS FOR MEMBRANE Find the temperature correction factor (TCF) from the table below. Divide the rated permeate flow at 77°F by the temperature correction factor. The result is the permeate flow at the desired temperature. (See example on the next page) °F = (°C x 9/5)+ 32 Corrected Flow Rate = (Measured Flow Rate)*(TCF @ Feed Water Temp.) If a system is rated to produce 5 gpm of permeate water @ 77°...
IS MY SYSTEM WORKING PROPERLY? TDS REJECTION The Spot Zero ZTCII reverse osmosis system is designed to reject 94% or more total dissolved solids (TDS). The rejection percentage is calculated by the following formula: % Rejection = ((Feed TDS - Product TDS) / Feed TDS) * 100 Example 1 :( (117ppm—4ppm) / 117ppm) * 100 = 96.58% Example 2 : ((900ppm-45ppm) / 900ppm) * 100 = 95% Both examples represents membranes in perfectly operating condition.
