Section 1: Introduction Thank you for choosing this Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System! Every Aqua Magic RO System incorporates years of experienced engineering, dedicated workmanship, and high-quality components. Each system is built with pride and ensures superior performance. We are confident you will find this system to have quick and simple installation, hassle-free maintenance, and years of reliable, trouble-free operation.
The Aqua Magic Warden Pro LP RO System combines its trusted RO design with the latest booster pump technology, providing a reliable increase to the inlet pressure. This increase in feed pressure...
Tank Pressure Shut-Off Switch Technology While the booster pump is fully capable of constant use, it’s inefficient to run the pump when it’s not needed. That’s why every Aqua Magic Low Pressure RO System also incorporates the technology of an inline tank pressure switch.
How to Make a Proper Quick Connect Tubing Connection Your RO System has been designed with the most reliable fittings available. It is important that the manufacturer’s instructions are followed carefully to ensure a leak-free connection. Be sure to cut tubing end straight and square. The cut end must be free of burrs and sharp edges. For soft thin walled plastic tubing, we recommend the use of a tube insert.
Section 3: System Specifications Design Specifications Production Rate: GRO-50EN – 50 GPD* Rejection Rate (NaCl): Recovery: Feed Pressure: 65 psi Feed Temperature: 77°F (24°C) *Actual system production may vary depending on incoming water temperature and chemistry. Nominal performances are based on the above Design Specifications, after 25 hours Individual element flux may vary +/- 15%.
Section 4: Getting to Know Your System It is important to familiarize yourself with your new Reverse Osmosis System. Shown below is a front and back view of the system, with the stages and main components identified. These components will be referenced throughout the manual. Noting their location will assist you with the installation and maintenance of the RO system.
Section 5: Under-the-Counter Flow Diagram Provided below is a detailed flow diagram for the Aqua Magic Warden Pro RO System. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the placement of major components and the correct flow of water through them. Understanding this will be very important for the installation and maintenance of your RO system.
Step 1: Select an Installation Site This RO system was designed compact enough to fit under most kitchen sinks. However, the RO system may easily be installed in a basement, closet, crawl space, or wherever it’s most convenient. If a basement installation is selected, note that additional tubing, hardware, and fittings may be needed, and that a hole will have to be made from inside the cabinet through the floor to the basement.
Step 2: Faucet Installation When selecting a location for your faucet, be sure the stem of the faucet will be accessible for making all connections. Always take special care and consideration if drilling a new hole for a faucet. We cannot accept any responsibility for damage to sinks or countertops when you are drilling a hole for your dispenser faucet.
Mount the Faucet Slide the 1-1/4” faceplate, rubber washer, and the 1-7/8” rubber gasket onto the faucet stem. Place the stud through the hole in the sink or counter top, and properly position the faucet. From under the counter, slide on the black plastic washer and the metal star washer, and screw on the faucet lock nut (these parts are included with faucet).

If Using C-Style Self-Piercing Saddle Valve (Optional – Not included with Aqua Magic Systems) The C-Style Self-Piercing Saddle Valve is a great option for copper piping, but can also be used with hard steel, iron, brass, or CPVC piping. The simple mechanism fits 3/8” and 5/8”...
Step 4: Install the Drain Saddle Clamp Drain saddle clamps are used to direct the reject water of an RO system to drain. The provided drain saddle clamp is designed for a standard 1-1/2” OD drainpipe. Always inspect the condition of drainpipes before install and ensure they are not thin and frail.
Step 6: Install the Filter Cartridges While some models may have filter cartridges pre-installed, it’s important to verify this in order to prevent permanent damage to RO membrane upon start-up. Using the filter-housing wrench provided with the RO system, unscrew the filter housing sumps.
Step 8: Make Tubing Connections This RO System makes the connection of your tubing lines very quick and easy! With side-port accessibility, color coded fitting plugs, and a color coded label, this step should be a breeze. Please be sure to complete all prior steps before making tubing connections, and reference “Getting to Know Your System”...
Using the coil of 3/8” RED tubing provided with the Parts Packet, connect one end to the 3/8” barb connection, found at the bottom of the air gap faucet. Ensure connection is secure. Locate the Drain Saddle Clamp (installed in a previous step) and unscrew the attached compression nut.
Step 9: Connect Booster Pump Transformer Every Aqua Magic Low Pressure RO System includes the appropriately sized transformer for the booster pump. The Storage Tank Pressure Switch comes pre-connected to the system’s booster pump. This leaves one unused female receptacle, found behind the RO system. Remove the transformer from its packaging, and connect the only unused receptacle to the transformer’s receptacle.
Step 10: Ice Maker Connection (Optional) This RO system has been designed to easily connect to any standard refrigerator ice maker or ice maker/water dispenser. If you choose to connect your RO system to an ice maker, you will need additional hardware.
APPENDIX: Basement Installations Installing an RO system in the basement will result in some alternative installation instructions. This appendix is provided to complement the Installation Instructions in the previous section. Please read this appendix carefully, in addition to the installation instructions provided previously. The following are variations generally required for basement installations: Faucet Installation In basement installations, it’s common to have your air gap located in the basement as well.
Install wall anchors and/or mounting screws as required. Leave screw heads protruding to allow the bracket’s mounting holes to hook over them. The storage tank may be oriented either vertically or horizontally and can be placed on a shelf, on the floor, or suspended from the ceiling supports using sturdy brackets.
Section 7: Start-Up Procedure With the sediment/carbon pre-filter cartridges installed, and all tubing and tank connections in place, your RO system is ready for start-up! During start-up, it’s crucial to thoroughly flush the system before the water is ready for consumption. Please follow these steps closely to ensure a proper start-up: Slowly open the feed water shut-off valve that you installed on the cold water supply line.
Section 8: Maintenance Procedures Filter Cartridge and RO Membrane Replacement This RO system contains filter cartridges that must be replaced regularly to maintain proper performance. The recommended schedule for changing the filter cartridges (not the RO membrane) is every 3 to 6 months, depending on the quantity of water used and the feed water conditions. The typical RO membrane life expectancy (assuming adequate filter changes are done) is two to four years.
14) Turn the sumps, with the cartridges inside, back onto the housing cap. Firmly tighten, but do not over tighten. 15) Flush the system as follows: Be sure the storage tank valve is still closed. Slowly open the feed water saddle valve on the inlet water line. Check the system carefully for any leaks.

IMPORTANT: Do not use more than the recommended amount of liquid chlorine household blench. Doing so may cause permanent damage to the encapsulated membrane. Temporarily replace the housing sumps onto the filter housing caps, without any filter cartridges inside. Firmly tighten. 10) Slowly open the feed water valve and allow water to enter the system.

Use a multi-meter to check the line voltage, and the transformer output. If the transformer is not functioning properly, its current capacity may have been exceeded.
Section 11: Product Warranty REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM LIMITED WARRANTY The manufacturer warrants that each RO system is free of defects in material and workmanship and has been factory tested to perform in accordance with published specifications at the time of shipment. The manufacturer further warrants that the RO system will continue to operate for a period of one (1) year from start-up, or 15 months from purchase, whichever is shorter, provided that the user supplies feed water meeting minimum standards stated in the Owner’s Manual and adopts and implements the...
