We are confident you will find this system to have quick and simple installation, hassle-free maintenance, and years of reliable, trouble- free operation. As with all products, the customer has the responsibility to ensure that the Reo-Pure™ System is operated under proper conditions and within design limitations. All installation, startup and maintenance instructions must be followed carefully.
Section 2: Getting to Know Your Reo-Pure™ RO System It is important to familiarize yourself with your new Reo-Pure Reverse Osmosis System. Pictured below is a front and rear view of the system, with the main components identified. These components will be referenced throughout the manual.
Factors Affecting System Performance Feed Water: The incoming water to be processed by the Reo-Pure System. Product Water The portion of the feed water that has passed through the membrane element. It is the desired result of (Permeate): a Reo-Pure System.
3 to 10 Hydrogen Sulfide: Must be removed Iron: Maximum 0.01 PPM (Dissolved Only) Feed Water TDS: Consult Reo-Pure Manufacturer if TDS exceeds 2,000 PPM Max Operating Pressure: 180 PSI Design Test Conditions Operating Pressure: 165 PSI Feed Water TDS:...
Step 2: Select an Installation Site Determine a desirable location for your Reo-Pure system. It should be positioned on a hard level surface capable of supporting the entire weight of the system. See SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS for approximate weight and dimensions.
THIS SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED WITH DISCONNECTING MEANS REQUIRED AS PER ELECTRICAL CODE. A WATER SOFTENER SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REGENERATE WHILE THE REO-PURE™ SYSTEM IS OPERATING, UNLESS PRE-TREATMENT INTERLOCK SAFEGUARDS ARE USED TO BE SURE THE SYSTEM IS SHUTDOWN.
CHANGES THAT WERE MADE. Controller Introduction Your Reo-Pure™ System is controlled by a Series 150 (S-150) RO Microprocessor Controller. It is a state-of-the-art control system for commercial and industrial RO systems. The S-150 is a microprocessor controlled system that can monitor pressure and level switches. A TDS/Conductivity monitor/controller with programmable set points also plays an integral part of the S-150.
Front Panel Controls and Indicators DISPLAY: Shows status of system. ALARM LAMP: Flashes when fault causes an RO system shut down. On steady when a Setpoint is exceeded that does not cause an RO system shut down. POWER KEY: Places controller in operating or standby mode. LEFT ARROW KEY: Scrolls through Setpoints starting with first Setpoint.
TDS/Conductivity Cell Wiring For accurate TDS / Conductivity readings, the cell should be installed in a tee fitting where a continuous flow of water passes over the cell and no air can be trapped around the cell. Refer to figure 5 for example installation. The cell is connected with 5 wires to terminal strip P10.

I/O Expander Board (Optional) If the optional I/O expander board is installed, 2 additional relay outputs and 1 additional switch input are provided. Refer to figure 4 for the location of terminal strips, jumpers and wiring for this board. AC power for the relays is connected to the L1 and L2 power terminals of P1.
Change or Display Setpoints SETPOINTS CANNOT BE CHANGED IF THE WRITE PROTECT JUMPER IS IN THE ON POSITION. 1. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the keys used to display or change the Setpoints and Electrical Schematic for the location of the write protect jumper, J3.

Warning Messages Warning messages are also shown on the second line. If any warnings are active, the active warnings will alternate with the normal displays for the bottom line. The following lists the warning messages. HI TDS / Cond - The TDS / Conductivity reading has exceeded the programmed limit. TANK LOW - The tank low input is active.

Membrane Flush (For Reo-Pure™ Optimum Models Only) If the Reo-Pure™ RO System is an “Optimum” or “OPTI” model, a flush solenoid valve has been equipped and the Flush Type set points can be used to enable a membrane flush at different times.
and the alarm will sound. The alarm can be cleared by pressing the Alarm Silence/Reset key twice. NOTE: the auto reset function is not active for this shut down. Operating Hours Exceeded If the current hours exceed the limit programmed in the Maximum Hours Setpoint, the alarm lamp will light and the OP HOURS EXCEEDED warning message will be shown.
Page 17
TDS/Conductivity Expander (Optional) The TDS / Conductivity expander board allows a 2 TDS / Conductivity to be monitored and displayed by the Series 150 controller. The expander board is mounted on the main board to the left of the connector for the 1 cell.
CONNECTING ANY BOARD OR ACCESSORY, BE SURE POWER IS TURNED OFF AT THE DISCONNECT. BEFORE CONTACTING YOUR REO-PURE™ DEALER FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT, PLEASE VERIFY THE PROGRAMMING OF ALL SET POINTS, CHECK THE DISPLAY AND CHECK THE STATUS OF ALL LIGHTS AND INDICATORS.
Section 7: Reo-Pure™ RO Controller S-150 Setpoints DEFAULT PRESET SETPOINT DESCRIPTION RANGE VALUE VALUE When this value is met or exceeded, the alarm lamp will light and 0-999 TDS / Cond Limit high TDS / Cond will show on the display. To disable, set to 0.
Water Parameters for this system before operating this system. Step 3: Read Section on the RO System Controller It is important to read the RO MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLER section carefully before attempting to operate this Reo-Pure System, and before changing any controller settings.

The membrane flush type, frequency, and duration is pre-programmed to the Manufacturer’s default settings. Please see the Reo-Pure™ RO Controller S-150 Setpoints section of this manual for more information on the default settings. Note that a manual flush can be initiated by holding down on the “ALARM SILENCE/RESET” key of the RO controller.

Step 11: Check Pressure Switches An inlet feed water low pressure switch is installed on this Reo-Pure™ RO system. It is preset at the factory to cut-out at feed water pressure below 15 PSI and cut-on at pressure above 20 PSI. Its purpose is to prevent damage to the RO system’s pump and/or motor if there is inadequate feed water flow or pressure.

Step 12: Final Inspection Congratulations on the successful installation of your new Reo-Pure™ RO system! We hope it supplies you with many years of reliable operation and trouble-free maintenance. Once all start-up and installation procedures have been completed, please visually inspect all water connections and system readings for proper operation.
Section 9: Maintenance – Filter Cartridge Installation/Replacement UPON THE PURCHASE OF A NEW REO-PURE™ RO SYSTEM, THE SEDIMENT FILTER CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN PACKAGED LOOSE INSIDE THE SYSTEM’S CARTON. IT MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO START-UP. NOTE THAT THE MEMBRANE ELEMENT(S) HAVE BEEN PRE-INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER DURING THE FINAL TESTING PROCEDURES, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE.
Section 10: Maintenance – Membrane Flush The Manual Flush Valve is only equipped on the Economy and Standard BLS models. It is recommended to open this valve at least once weekly for 5-10 minutes to flush sediment from the membrane elements. The duration and cycle of this flush can be adjusted based on varying feed water conditions and applications.
System preset to cut ON at inlet pressure above 20 PSI. A Product Water Pressure Switch is available as an Optional An Inlet Low Pressure Switch is installed on every Reo-Pure BLS feature on the BLS and WMS Reo-Pure™ RO systems. Its and WMS RO system.
