  • Page 7 Understanding the Booster Pump and RO Process 1) Source water enters the system and passes through the stage 1, 2, and 3 pre-filters. Located between the pre-filters is the Low Pressure Switch. This switch turns on when the incoming water pressure is 7 PSI or greater. 2) The High Pressure Switchturns on when the pressure from the pressurized tank is below 20 PSI, and turns off at 35 PSI (e.g.
  • Page 8 Installation Tips How to use the Quick-Connect fittings Figure 1 To connect: 1. See Figure 1. Check and cut the tubing end squarely and cleanly with utility knife or scissors. 2. Make a ⅝” mark at the end of the tube so you will be able to confirm when the tube is inserted fully into the fitting.
  • Page 9 To disconnect: 1. See Figures 2 and 3. Remove the blue lock clip from the fitting. 2. With the blue lock clip removed, use your thumb and index finger to hold down the lock sleeve.

  • Page 10 Installation Steps Before you begin the installation, it is highly recommended that you watch the video “iSpring Reverse Osmosis Installation” on YouTube. Note: If you plan on mounting/hanging the system, it is highly recommended to include supports under each of the bottom three housings. Supports under the housings will take the water weight off the housing threads, and ensure the thread strength does not decay over the years.

  • Page 17 Note: Stages 6 and/or 7 only exist on certain models. Stage 1 – 3 Pre-Filters Replace every 6 months or sooner if you notice a decrease in water flow or quality. The replacement frequency depends on your water usage and source water quality. To protect the RO membrane from chlorine and other damaging contaminants, it is important to change the pre-filters according to schedule.
  • Page 18 How to Change the Reverse Osmosis Membrane 1. The RO membrane typically lasts about 2 – 3 years. The membrane life span depends on the source water quality, your water usage, and how often the three pre-filters are replaced. To ensure the system’s performance and water purity, it is important to replace the pre-filter cartridges on schedule.
