Nimbus Water Systems Sierra User Manual page 3

Introduction To The Sierra
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nimbus Sierra reverse osmosis system. When properly maintained, this
system will provide you with years of trouble-free service. The next sections contain important information on
proper care and maintenance. Please take a few minutes to read through this information.
The Nimbus Sierra reverse osmosis system must be serviced on a regular basis to maintain efficiency and to
safeguard water quality. Each system is equipped with a pre-filter, a membrane filter, and a post-filter. These
cartridges work together to remove potential contaminants from your tap water and must be replaced at regular
intervals. The chart below gives a general replacement timetable. For more accurate membrane filter replace-
ment intervals, the system should be tested for TDS by an authorized Nimbus dealer. Instructions for cartridge
replacement can be found on page 11.
Any significant change in performance of the system should be investigated promptly to avoid secondary damage
or deterioration to other parts of the system.
