Page 5: System Description
SpectraPure SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The SpectraPure MPDI system is a four stage reverse osmosis de-ionization system. First, the incoming feed water is passed through a 1 micron Micro-Tec™ sediment pre-filter. This filter is required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may cause the membrane to plug. - Page 6 ® SpectraPure Fig. B: Single-Membrane Assembly Top/Rear View RO membrane yellow concentrate (waste) tubing membrane feed blue purified push-fitting water tubing (Good Water) black tubing to membrane black feed feed tubing Fig. C: Dual-Membrane Assembly Top/Rear View blue purified product water tee...

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. - Page 9 12.7 12.7 15.2 15.2 17.8 17.8 20.3 20.3 22.9 22.9 25.4 25.4 27.9 27.9 30.5 30.5 33.0 33.0 35.6 35.6 38.1 38.1 40.6 40.6 SpectraPure®Inc .
