There is an associated risk with all water sources and the potential for bio growth, including bacterium that causes Legionnaires disease. DriSteem high-pressure systems, products, and components are designed, with consideration, to reduce the risk of Legionnaires disease and other similar situations. The water treatment and high-pressure system design take into account lower operating temperatures, minimization of stagnant water through mechanical design and flush cycles, and provides an option for UV disinfection of the RO storage water.

Warnings and cautions CAUTION Operate system at above-freezing temperatures. Operating the system at temperatures below freezing can damage the system or cause other property damage. Maintain pumping and water treatment equipment. Inadequately maintained pumping and water treatment equipment can cause the system to fail. Refer to the maintenance section of this IOM for recommended maintenance.

Supply water must be softened and dechlorinated before being supplied to the reverse-osmosis system. If water is not properly dechlorinated or softened, it can damage reverse osmosis membranes. If you are not installing DriSteem water pretreatment components, verify that your water has had chlorine removed and is softened.

WHEN TO CHANGE SEDIMENT FILTERS Sediment filters should be changed regularly to maintain proper pressure and flow. DriSteem replacement part Change the filters when the difference between filter pressure gauge increases • 2½" x 20" - Model 401-404 (part number: 550026-002) by 10 psi over the initial pressure difference.
Maintenance continued SEDIMENT PRE-FILTER CARTRIDGE WHEN TO CHANGE SEDIMENT PREFILTER CARTRIDGE Sediment filters should be changed regularly to maintain proper pump pressure and flow. If the pressure drop across the cartridge filter (as indicated by the differential between the filter inlet and filter outlet pressure gauges) increases by 10 psi, the sediment filters should be changed.

Failure to hands thoroughly after replacing membranes. do so may damage the system or result Note: Keep all plumbing routed the same as shipped from DriSteem. Any in injury. different orientation will destroy the RO membranes.
WATER SOFTENER 1. Check brine tank salt level at least weekly. Maintain salt level above the half-full mark at all times. Note: DriSteem recommends using pulverized salt because it dissolves easily. 2. Visually inspect all components for leaks or breakage.
Troubleshooting The following troubleshooting instructions are specific to the DriSteem Reverse-Osmosis System.

System operating log SYSTEM MONITORING AND RECORD KEEPING The system should be monitored and all pertinent data recorded on a daily basis. This includes cartridge filter pressure in/out, system pressure in/out, flow and water quality (TDS) in/out. Data is needed to determine operating efficiency and for performing system maintenance.
For best results, test water chlorine every two weeks. To order more Water Quality Test Strips, contact your local DriSteem rep, or call 1-800-328-4447. DIRECTIONS: Total Chlorine ppm - end pad 1.
