REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE INTRODUCTION Your new Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System uses a combination of filtration technologies to reduce unwanted contaminants in your water supply. Your Reverse Osmosis System uses the 5 filtration stages which combines to give you the best in clear sparkling Reverse Osmosis water. FILTRATION STAGES Mechanical Filtration The Reverse Osmosis Turbidity Pre-filter will remove suspended matter that are larger than 5-micron as...
REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE REVERSE OSMOSIS COMPONENTS Automatic Reverse Osmosis Shut Off The Reverse Osmosis pressure switch senses when the product water tank is full and closes the feed water supply to prevent excess Reverse Osmosis reject water going to drain when the Reverse Osmosis System is not producing water.
REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Drinking Faucet Reverse Osmosis faucet should be placed near the sink where drinking water is normally obtained. Convenience of use (filling of water pitchers and glasses), and an open area beneath the Reverse Osmosis faucet under the sink for attaching product and Reverse Osmosis drain tubing are considerations.

REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Feed Water Installation Self-Piercing feed water saddle valve Decide on location. Do NOT connect Reverse Osmosis to a hot water feed line. Water over 100 F may cause permanent damage to the Reverse Osmosis Membrane. Shut the water supply off and drain the line by opening the faucet installed downstream of this •...

REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Drain Clamp Assembly Choose the Reverse Osmosis drain outlet location. The following are instructions for discharging in the sink drain pipe. • Position the Drain Clamp on the sink drain pipe above the drain trap. Allow room for drilling. Tighten securely.
REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE CAUTION: The Reverse Osmosis Membrane is shipped with a preservative in it (0.5% sodium metabisulfite). This will be rinsed out with the first water produced. Allow the Holding Tank to fill (overnight) and discard the first two full tanks of production. When the Faucet is first opened, expect air and carbon fines (very fine black powder) from the In-Line Activated Carbon Post Filter to be rinsed out.

REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE • Close the Reverse Osmosis Feed Water Ball Valve by turning fully clockwise and open the Reverse Osmosis Dispensing Faucet by lifting the handle. Allow the Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank to empty. Loosen and remove the Reverse Osmosis Sediment Pre-filter and the Activated Carbon Pre-filter •...
REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Changing In-Line Activated Carbon Post Filter • Close the Reverse Osmosis Feed Water Ball Saddle by turning fully clockwise. Close the Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank Valve and then open the Reverse Osmosis Dispensing • Faucet to release the pressure.
REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System NOTE: The Reverse Osmosis system should be sanitized BEFORE installing the Reverse Osmosis Activated Carbon Pre-filter and the Reverse Osmosis Membrane. Use a drip pan to aid clean-up. Use a good quality unscented liquid chlorine household bleach. Fully close the feed water valve.
REVERSE OSMOSIS INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE Rinsing the Reverse Osmosis System • Slowly open the Reverse Osmosis Feed Water Saddle Valve fully counter clockwise. The Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank Valve should be open. The Reverse Osmosis System is now • making water.
