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.
SpectraPure ® SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION: Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to damage by ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as metal halide lighting. Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to bright light or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings when exposed to bright light.
Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before leaving the system unattended. (If anything is leaking, contact SpectraPure for assistance.) Set the TDS meter to “OUT” and run the system until the meter reading stops dropping. The water is now ready to use. You can set the meter to read either probe at any time.
SpectraPure ® FLOAT VALVE ILLUSTRATION: HOW IT 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. This “OFF”...
SpectraPure ® FLOW RESTRICTORS AND TEST STRIPS: These systems are supplied with TWO Flow Restrictors (FR) - RED and GREEN. See Page 8. The RED FR (pre-installed) produces a preset waste- to-product ratio of 3:1 and the optional GREEN FR has a 2:1 ratio.
SpectraPure ® THE MANUAL FLUSH VALVE: The Manual Flush Valve is located in parallel with the flow restrictor (see pages 7-8) 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.
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).
SpectraPure ® CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Carbon Filter will usually lasts 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.
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.
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). This procedure will require a TDS Meter. SpectraPure offers several models: MTR-TDS-EZ HM Digital Hand-held TDS Meter...
SpectraPure ® Rejection of the RO Membrane Calculation Example 1. Tap water TDS = 150 ppm (X) 2. RO water TDS = 15 ppm (Y) 3. X - Y = 135 ppm 4. (X - Y) ÷ X = 135 ÷ 150 = 0.90 5.
SpectraPure ® TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE: Low production rate: a. plugged prefilters. i. Replace prefilters. b. low water temperature ii. Warm feed water OR use higher GPD membrane. c. low line pressure. iii. Use booster pump OR use higher GPD membrane. d. high TDS content.
