    3) Pierce the copper tubing by turning the needle valve handle clockwise until it is firmly seated. 4) The valve is closed in this position. Turn on the MAIN supply valve to pressurize cold water line. Immediately check for any signs of leaks. 5) Set aside compression fittings for later use connecting yellow feed tubing to system.
  • Page 9: Preparing To Mount The Main Assembly

    preparing to Mount the Main Assembly When possible we recommend mounting the main assembly on the left sidewall of the cabinet, but this is not a requirement. It is not required the system be mounted at all—many owners choose to let the main assembly stand unsupported on the floor of the cabinet.
  • Page 10: Mounting The Deionization Module

    Mounting the Deionization Module The deionization (DI) module can be placed anywhere convenient inside the cabinet. Keep the distance between the main assembly, storage tank, and DI module as short as possible. The DI module can be mounted horizontally (preferred) or vertically. If mounted vertically, the outlet should be at the bottom.

    Connecting tubing to John Guest Speedfit® Fittings BEV Series systems make extensive use of John Guest Speedfit fittings. These high quality ™ ® components provide secure, leak free seals and make it easy to connect and disconnect tubing with- out the use of tools. Refer to diagrams on page 30, Appendix C.

    Connect Di Module to Main Assembly blue Measure and cut a length of tubing to connect the reverse osmosis (RO) water outlet on the main assembly to the INLET of deionization module. Typically, this tubing is routed behind the main assembly. Insert tub- ing into fittings and secure with red lock clips provided.

    Connect Di Module to Storage tank With the tank in position, measure and cut a blue length of tubing to connect the OUTLET of the DI module and the “T” connector on the tank ball valve. (See Figure 17, right) Figure 17, DI Module to Storage Tank Connection Connect GAC post Filter between Storage tank and Faucet Refer again to the diagram on page 31 in Appendix C.

    Flow is lengthwise, not radial, for maximum contact time and organic adsorption. Pure Water Systems has chosen to use twin carbon filters in this stage where every other manufacturer uses only a single cartridge. By using twin cartridges we insure complete removal of organic contaminates including pesticides, herbicides, and other hydrocarbon based compounds.

    The osmotic force is directly proportional to the concentration of dissolved solids in the water. When the water pressure is equal to the osmotic force, there will be no movement of pure water molecules across the semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane. A minimum of 45 PSI is required.

    water reaches your tap. Typically, the residual concentrations of chlorine in household water range from 0.5 to 1.0 parts-per-million (ppm). Besides being toxic, chlorine will degrade the TFC reverse osmosis membrane. Therefore, it is es- sential to remove chlorine from your tap water before it reaches the RO membrane. Your BEV system includes a pre-filter containing a carefully chosen grade of granular activated carbon (GAC) which will very effectively remove chlorine from your tap water.
  • Page 19: Maintenance And Servicing

    After 12 months of use, it is time to replace the sediment pre-filter, the twin GAC carbon filters, and the Deionization Module to insure your system continues to produce water within BEV param- eters. Replacement modules can be ordered directly from Pure Water Systems via our web site at http://www.purewatersystems.com.

    1) Remove the contents from beneath the kitchen sink where the filter assembly is located. 2) Turn off the cold water supply line. 3) Drain ALL the water from the storage tank by opening the sink mounted faucet. 4) Close the faucet and the ball valve on the top of the storage tank. 5) Open the Flush Valve (relieves pressure) 6) Place a towel beneath the pre-filter/RO assembly—it will absorb the small amount of water that will spill from the modules as they are changed out.

    The next step will disinfect and sterilize the storage tank: 6) Carefully place a few drops of regular household bleach into the tubing that connects the outlet of the DI module with the storage tank before connecting the tubing to the DI module. (As the tank fills with water for the first time, it will be subjected to a strong but continually diluting solution of chlorine.) Alternate disinfection procedure:...

    The best method is to measure the resistivity (conductivity) of the RO water and compare it to the tap water. You can invest in a resistivity meter (available from Pure Water Systems) or you can send samples to us for analysis. (Poor rejection rates may also be an indication of a clogged pre-filter, so check that filter first.) A large increase in the production rate is also an indication of membrane failure,...
  • Page 24 This question reflects one of the common myths that are found in the water industry. It has no basis in fact or physiologic science.
