Page 5: System Description
The product from the RO membrane is then fed into the Enduro DI™ cartridge, producing water at ultrapure levels (18.2 megohm) before dropping off when resins become depleted. The ELIM-RODI-300-MF will then feed into two additional DI stages- the SpectraPure® MaxCap® DI Cartridge and the SpectraPure® SilicaBuster DI Cartridge. INCLUDED ITEMS...

Page 9: Working With Push Fittings
SpectraPure ® WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS: Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors. To remove the tubing from its push fitting: 1. Firmly depress and hold the push fitting collar down with your thumbnail. 2. While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out of the push fitting.
Page 10: Cautions
2. Attach the yellow drain line to the “Y”- connector at the rear of the system and run it to a permanent drain. (See Pages 6-7) NOTE: If installing under a sink use a drain saddle (SpectraPure Part No. DS-4T) to tie the drain line into sink drain.
Page 11: Float Valve Installation
9. Finish the installation by directing the yellow line to a drain. NOTE: If installing under a sink use a drain saddle (SpectraPure Part No. DS-4T) to tie the drain line into sink drain. 10. Install the included Float Valve onto a collection reservoir.
Page 12: Float Valve Illustration
SpectraPure ® FLOAT VALVE ILLUSTRATION: HOW THE FLOAT SYSTEM WORKS: The increasing water level raises the Float Valve in the reservoir and stops the flow of water. Pressure builds up in the product line and ASO Valve until the ASO Valve shuts off the flow of waste water to drain. Now that BOTH the waste and product lines are blocked off, this “OFF”...
Page 13: Sediment Prefilter Replacement
SpectraPure ® SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT: A Sediment Filter will usually last approx. 4-6 months, depending on the quality of the tap water and quantity of water being produced. (The life span of the filter is determined by the turbidity, iron content, organics, and total particulate volume in your water source).
Page 14: Carbon Block Filter Replacement
SpectraPure ® CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Carbon Filter will usually last 4-6 months, depending on the chlorine (or chloramine) content of your tap water and quantity of water being produced. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Prefilter needs replacement is to use a chlorine test kit.
Page 15: Ro Membrane Replacement
SpectraPure ® RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT: Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system where the membrane housing(s) can be easily accessed. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push fitting by depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the tubing from the push fitting.
Page 16: Deionization Cartridge Replacement
SpectraPure ® DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT: (located in rightmost housing) The condition of the DI cartridge should be judged by observing the “OUT” probe on the TDS monitor. Turn on the system and allow water to flow past the monitor probe for at least 20 minutes before attempting to use the monitor.
Page 17: Sanitizing The System
SpectraPure ® SANITIZING THE SYSTEM: (It is recommended that you sanitize the system once a year.) 1. Turn tap water source off and remove all filters from the system, including the RO membrane. 2. Mix together hot water, soap and a little bleach.
Page 18: Normal Use
SpectraPure ® THE MANUAL FLUSH VALVE : The Manual Flush Valve is located in parallel with the flow restrictor and, when opened, provides a high flow bypass of waste water used to purge concentrated brine from the membrane housing and rapidly flush any particulates from the membrane surface.
Page 19: Using The Pressure Gauge
SpectraPure ® USING THE PRESSURE GAUGE: The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the Sediment and Carbon Prefilters. With the Sediment and Carbon filters removed, the gauge will indicate the “actual” tap water input pressure. When the prefilters are “new”, the pressure shown on the gauge will be slightly less than the...
Page 20: Testing The Quality Of The Membrane
SpectraPure ® TESTING THE QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE: The performance of a RO membrane is measured by its ability to reject salts or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). Use the TDS Meter located on your system for this procedure. General Procedure: 1.
Page 21: Membrane Production Calculation
SpectraPure ® MEMBRANE PRODUCTION CALCULATION: Membranes produce the rated gallons per day (GPD) at 60 psi (4.1 bars) operating pressure, 77°F (25°C) operating temperature and with no more than 500 ppm total dissolved solids. Membrane output gallons per day (GPD) depends on operating pressure, water temperature and the TDS in the feed water.
Page 22: Membrane Output Calculation Example
SpectraPure ® MEMBRANE OUTPUT CALCULATION EXAMPLE What is the expected GPD from a 100 GPD System at 40 psi pressure and 60°F water temperature? PCF = 40 ÷ 60 = 0.666 TCF = 0.754 (from Table above) Expected GPD = 100 × 0.666 × 0.754 = 50.2 GPD ± 15% 50.2 GPD would be the Actual Production Rate...

Delicate plant cloning requires some of the purest water on the planet, even beyond that produced by traditional RO systems. By adding the SpectraPure CloneMaster DI™ stage to your existing Eliminator™ RO system you can produce the ultra-purified water necessary for these delicate growth challenges.
