• Read all steps and guides carefully before installing
and using your reverse osmosis system. Follow all steps
exactly to correctly install. Reading this manual will
also help you to get all the benefits from the reverse
osmosis system.
• Do not attempt to use this product to make safe drink- •
ing water from non-potable water sources. Do not use
the system on microbiologically unsafe water, or water
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. This system is certified for
cyst reduction and may be used on disinfected water
that may contain filterable cysts.
• Check with your local public works department for
plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow their
guides as you install the system. Follow your local
codes if they differ with guides in this manual.
• This system shall only be used for arsenic reduction on
chlorinated water supplies containing detectable resid-
ual free chlorine at the system inlet. Water systems
using an inline chlorinator should provide a one minute
chlorine contact time before the RO system.
This system is acceptable for treatment of influent con-
centrations of no more than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3
mg/L nitrite in combination measured as N and is cer-
tified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water sup-
plies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40 psig) or greater.
The reverse osmosis system works on water pressures of
40 psi (minimum) to 100 psi (maximum). If your house
water pressure is over the maximum, install a pressure
reducing valve in the water supply pipe to the reverse
osmosis system.
Do not install the reverse osmosis system outside, or in
extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of the
water supply to the reverse osmosis system must be
between 40°F and IO0°F. Do not install on hot water.
• Read the other limits (pH, hardness, etc.) in the specifi-
cations and be sure your water supply conforms.
• The reverse osmosis membrane contains a preservative
for storage and shipment. Be sure to purge as instruct-
ed on page 17 before using product water.
