Page 4: System Description
The fourth and fifth stage filter is our M DI ™ cartridge followed by SpectraPure’s SilicaBuster ™ cartridge. The M DI ™ system comes equipped with two Dual Inline TDS monitors. The first monitor shows TDS levels of pre-and post- RO membrane water. The second monitor helps detect the exhaustion points of the DI stages. -
Page 5: System Initialization
SpectraPure SYSTEM INITIALIZATION: IMPORTANT: During the initial rinse-up of the MAXCAP RO/DI ™, a large ionic load is pre- sented to the downstream DI cartridges. Be sure to rinse up all new MAXCAP DI ™ with the downstream cartridge removed as shown below. This rinsing step will ensure that the MAXCAP DI ™... - Page 6 ® SpectraPure Note: It is recommended that at least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified water be discarded before collecting purified water for use. If the unit is not used for several days, run the system for at least 15 minutes before collecting any water.

Page 7: Measuring Waste To Product Water Ratio
Failure to perform this procedure can permanently damage the membrane. 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. -
