Y Read all steps and guides carefully before installing
and using your reverse osmosis system. Follow all
steps exactly to correctly install. Reading this manual
will also help you to get all the benefits from the
reverse osmosis system.
V This system is acceptable
for treatment of influent
concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3
mg/L nitrite in combination measured as N and is cer-
tified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water sup-
plies with a pressure of 280 kPa (40 psig) or greater.
V Do not attempt to use this product to make safe Y
drinking water from non-potable water sources. Do
not use the system on microbiologically unsafe water,
or water of unknown quality without adequate disin-
fection before or after the system. This system is certi-
fied for cyst reduction and may be used on disinfec-
ted water that may contain filterable cysts. Y
Y Check with your local public works department for
plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow their
guides as you install the system. Follow your local
codes if they differ with guides in this manual.
Y This system shall only be used for arsenic reduction
on chlorinated water supplies containing detectable
residual free chlorine at the system inlet. Water sys-
tems using an inline chlorinator should provide a one
minute chlorine contact time before the RO system.
The reverse osmosis system works on water pressures
of 40 psi (minimum) to 100 psi (maximum). if your
house water pressure is over the maximum, install a
pressure reducing valve in the water supply pipe to
the reverse osmosis system.
Do not install the reverse osmosis system outside, or
in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of
the water supply to the reverse osmosis system must
be between 40°F and 100°F. Do not install on hot
water.

Read the other limits (pH, hardness, etc.) in the speci-
fications and be sure your water supply conforms.
The reverse osmosis membrane contains a preserva-
tive for storage and shipment. Be sure to purge as
instructed on page 17 before using product water.
