Pentek RO-3000 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Advanced Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System
Installation and Operating Instructions
Models RO-3000 and RO-3500 (with electronic TDS monitor)
Operating Specifications
IMPORTANT!
Before installing this reverse osmosis system, make certain your
water supply complies with the following operating specifications. Failure to do
so may reduce the effectiveness of the system and will void the warranty.
Consult your local water treatment utility or a certified water testing lab to
determine the quality of your water and use the table below to record your
results for future reference.

DATE OF PURCHASE:
* IMPORTANT!
If the hardness of your water is above 10 gpg (171mg/L), lime
scale will build up rapidly on the membrane. Scale buildup will plug the
membrane and make the system ineffective. We do not recommend these
reverse osmosis systems be used with water in excess of 10 gpg (171 mg/L)
hardness, unless the water is softened prior to the reverse osmosis system.
† See your local dealer or water treatment specialist to reduce these
substances in your water.
NOTE:
If your water pressure and temperature are at the low end of the listed
range (40 psi [2.8 bar] and 40°F [4.4°C]), and the TDS level is near the maximum
(1500 ppm), the system will not function properly. Under these extreme
conditions, pre-warming the supply water using a 25-ft. (7.62 m) coil of tubing
between the saddle valve and the system, and/or installing a booster pump to
increase the water pressure will allow the system to perform effectively.
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
NOTE:
Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. System must be
maintained according to manufacturer's instructions, including replacement of
filter cartridges.
