The Craft Brew 850 GPD has been designed and tested to provide high quality water and are built with quality components that provide you not just high-grade water, but also gives you full confidence in its operation and durability.
SAFETY The Safety section of this User’s Manual outlines the various safety headings used throughout this manual’s text and are enhanced and defined below: NOTE: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND CLARIFICATION. CAUTION: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Craft Brew 850 GPD reverse osmosis systems are designed to produce permeate water at the capacities indicated by the suffix in the system’s name under the conditions listed above. For example, the Craft Brew 850 GPD produces 850 gallons per day of permeate water at the listed operating test conditions.

TYPICALLY PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) OR MILLIGRAMS PER LITER (MG/L). Craft Brew 850 GPD reverse osmosis systems are designed to reject up to 98.5% NaCl unless computer projections have been provided or stated otherwise. The amount of permeate water recovered for use is expressed as a percentage. To...
INSTALLING THE UV FILTER Locate the box labeled “Polaris.” Locate the Pre-Drilled holes on Inside the box you will find Clips, the top of the unit and install the UV Bulb, Stainless Steel UV UV Clips using the Nuts and Bolts Housing, and Connection Tubing.

1. PREFILTER PRESSURE GAUGE: Glycerin filled pressure gauge (0-100 psi). Standard on all units and is located on the front of the panel. This gauge measures the water pressure in PSI at the outlet of the pre-filter, a minimum pressure of 30 PSI is recommended. 2.
Page 12
10. SEDIMENT PRE-FILTER: This is a 5-micron sediment pre-filter. It is used to remove any particles that may have passed through pre-treatment or released by pretreatment materials. 11. CAT CARBON PRE-FILTER: This is a 5-micron cat carbon pre-filter. It is used to remove free chlorine and organic compounds from the source water before the Reverse Osmosis membrane.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION ALWAYS FOLLOW SAFETY PROCEDURES WHEN INSTALLING THE UNIT. IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW ALL REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO LOCAL, BUILDING, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING PARAMETERS OF THE SITE WHERE YOU ARE INSTALLING THE SYSTEM. 1. Choose a place that is covered and has enough space for the system. The location should also have feed water, electricity and a specified area for drainage.
MEMBRANE INSTALLATION 1. To insert the membranes into the membrane housing, it is recommended to only remove a cap where the water inlet is fed, there is an arrow indicating the feed flow, instead of disconnecting the quick connectors and high-pressure tubing. 2.
TIMER - The time the system has been in continuous operation. CRAFT BREW 850 GPD SYSTEMS DO NOT KEEP CONTINUOUS TIME IF POWER IS LOST OR IF A LOW PRESSURE OR WATER LEVEL ALERT IS INDICATED AND THE SYSTEM IS SHUT-OFF.

LOW - When this appears on the screen, it indicates low pressure in the system. FLUSH - When membrane flush is activated, droplets above the word FLUSH are displayed. Does not apply to Craft Brew 850 GPD. MAIN PUMP - This display represents the high-pressure pump of the System is activated.
P1 - Time Setting adjustment for the duration of the membrane fast flush; 15 sec, 30 sec, 45 sec, 60 sec. (Craft Brew 850 GPD does not have this option). P2 - Setting for adjusting the start-up delay time to start if the system receives any signal by the low pressure or high-level switch.

The last screen in the parameter setting records the last 5 events of "non-operation" presented by the system and how long it was off. Up and Down Arrow reads T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 are records in the memory of the “non-operation” and indicates which switch was deactivated.

SYSTEM STARTUP 1. Make sure that everything related to the pre-treatment process is operating properly and has been backwashed several times to avoid fines from entering the system. 2. Install main valve near the system. 3. All pressure gauges will read 0 before opening the supply valve to the system. 4.
INITIAL SYSTEM TESTS After 15-30 minutes both the feedwater and the product water must be monitored with the TDS meter. You must obtain at least 95% rejection in the final product water quality. If the rejection is less than 95% recheck the installation of the membrane and that they are positioned in the right direction by making sure the seals of the membrane are in the same direction of the flow of water.
OPERATING DO’s AND DON’Ts • Change the cartridge filters regularly. • Monitor the system and keep a daily/weekly log. • Run the system as much as possible on a continuous basis. • Adjust the system recovery to the recommended value. •...
CRAFT BREW 850 GPD TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause Solution Power switch is off. Place in AUTO position. Check power outlet and make sure system is plugged in. No power. Check 2AMP fuse on back of controller. Verify that the feed valve is fully open.
Page 24
Symptom Possible Cause Solution Check the TDS on the product line, if the TDS is the same as the feed water line, the membrane is fouled open or there is a leak of reject water Membrane Fouled / Open. through an O-ring. Check and if necessary, change O-rings on membrane housing caps or NO WATER OR replace the membrane.

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) Temperature Temperature Temperature...
Page 27
If a system is rated to produce 5gpm of permeate water @ 77˚ F, the same system will produce more water at a higher temperature. It will also produce less water at a lower temperature. Use the temperature correction table to obtain the correct flow. Example: 5gpm @ 59˚...
