SpectraPure SYSTEM DESCRIPTION: The SpectraPure PROPLUS system is a four stage reverse osmosis de-ionization system. First, the incoming feed water is passed through a 1.0 micron Micro-Tec™ sediment pre-filter. This filter is required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may cause the membrane to plug.

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.

® SpectraPure METERING AND DIAGNOSTICS: This SpectraPure purification system has been fully equipped with sufficient instrumentation to make monitoring and troubleshooting an easy process. The provided pressure gauge is used to determine the tap water pressure and to evaluate the condition of the sediment and carbon pre-filters.
Materials Required: 1.0 micron Carbon Block Filter (CF-1-10), Filter Wrench, Chlorine Test Kit (TK-CL-25) Procedure: Perform steps 1-5 listed above Turn on system water supply and check for leaks.

® SpectraPure DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT: ( right-most housing) The DI stage is the SilicaBuster™ Mixed-Bed Multi-Layer Deionization Cartridge, DI-SB-10. The condition of this cartridge should be judged by observing the “OUT” probe on the monitor. Turn the on the system and allow water to flow past the monitor probe for at least 20 minutes before attempting to use the monitor.
For this reason we recommend the use of a conductivity tester in order to receive the most accurate measurement for determining the condition of the RO membrane. SpectraPure®Inc .
