Reverse Osmosis System
1. During initial operation, be sure Product Water Storage tubing is
temporarily routed to drain for proper rinsing of RO membrane.
2. Connect water supply to unit by inserting the quick disconnect into
the feed water inlet on the lower left side of the RO system. Turn on
main water supply. Turn the system power on by depressing the Main
Power Switch to the "I" position. The 9 LEDs will sequentially flash,
testing the LEDs to make sure they are not burned out.
3. The Operating/Standby, replace membrane and replace carbon filter
LEDs will turn solid on. The first 30 seconds the inlet and flush
solenoid valves open and water moves through the system. After the 30
seconds, the flush valve will close and the unit will operate normally
and produce product water.
4. Reset the membrane and carbon timers. See Section 7.
5. Membrane Rinse - Allow the unit to operate and send water to drain
for a minimum of two hours. This will rinse the membrane of its
preservatives. It is possible that during this time the "Low Product
Purity" LED may illuminate.
6. It is recommended that prior to connecting product water tubing to
storage reservoir, the flowrate be measured and recorded in the
operating log, toward the end of this manual, along with the other
operation data.
7. After the membrane rinse, the unit can be shut down and the product
water tubing can be connected to the storage reservoir. Two elbow
adapters are provided to allow the RO system to be connected to
various reservoirs. Refer to the storage reservoir manual.
8. Connect float cable, check for leaks, etc.
Warning This device is to be used with potable water feeds only.
Warning Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and
current handling capacity.
Warning Discard the RO membrane product water for at least two hours
during the initial operation. The membrane contains a preservative
solution to prevent microbiological growth.
