- CARE OF YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM -
To keep your
reverse
osmosis
system
operating
and
producing
high
quality
water,
you must
make
sure
supply
water
is always
within
the limits
shown
in the
specifications.
Good supply
water
(soft water
is rec-
ommended)
helps
to assure
longer
life from
the RO
membrane
cartridge,
prefilter
and
postfilter
car-
tridges.
However,
each of these
will wear
out in time
and need replacement.
This reverse
osmosis
system
contains
a replace-
able
treatment
component
critical
for effective
removal
of total
dissolved
solids.
The monitor
faucet feature
provides
continuous
analysis
of the
systems
performance.
If the RO assembly
is wall mounted,
you may be able
to replace
parts
with the assembly
left on the wall. If
not, simply
lift the RO assembly
from the mounting
washers
and lay on the cabinet
floor when
replacing
the prefilter
and post filter cartridges
and RO mem-
brane.
Note: To prevent
spillage,
place a container
under
the
RO assembly,
or put the RO assembly
in a container
to catch the water.
CAUTION:
Before
disconnecting
parts,
be sure to
close
the water
supply
valve
to the RO.
