® SpectraPure SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The incoming feed water from a cold supply pipe valve is directed through 1/4” tubing and is first passed through a 1 micron Micro-Tec™ sediment pre-filter. This filter is used to remove excessive turbidity, sand, dust, silt etc.that may cause the carbon filter to plug up.
Total Dissolved Solid Meter (MTR-TDS-4TM-0-9990) - Measure the TDS levels or temperature of the water. Perfect for both consumer or commercial use in fresh water or salt water. SpectraPure®Inc .

System. Failure to perform this procedure can permanently damage the membrane and will void Warranty. In order to maximize the life of your SpectraPure RO Membrane, you may need to adjust the ratio of the concentrate to purified water. If not enough concentrate is allowed to flow past the membrane during operation, the impurities will precipitate out on the membrane surface, clogging the RO Membrane.
Care should be taken not to crush or otherwise damage the end of the capillary tubing protruding from the end of the insert. SpectraPure®Inc . Fax 480.894.6109 Fax us toll-free 1.877.527.7873 E-mail: spectra@spectrapure.com Visit us on the web www.spectrapure.com...

® SpectraPure METERING AND DIAGNOSTICS: Maintenance and trouble-shooting procedures have been made easy and effective with a built-in pressure gauge. The provided pressure gauge is used to determine the tap water pressure and to evaluate the condition of the sediment and carbon pre-filters.
** If your water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the pre-filters may require more frequent changes to maintain adequate production rate and extended membrane life. SpectraPure®Inc .

® SpectraPure CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Carbon Filter will usually lasts approx. 4-6 months ,depending on micron rating for the filters, usage and the quality of your tap water. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Pre-Filter needs replacement is to use a chlorine test kit.
Note: All water sources are different and are subject to changes in conductivity from season to season which could affect the monitor reading depending on the time of the year. SpectraPure®Inc .

® SpectraPure TIPS FOR LONG MEMBRANE LIFE: Replacement of 1 micron sediment filter once every 6 months. This will pre vent the mem brane from fouling due to silt or sediment depositing on the membrane. Replacement of 1 micron carbon block filter at least once every 6 months or before chlorine breakthrough occurs .
