Page 4: System Description
® The fourth and fifth stage filters are our M DI cartridge followed by SpectraPure’s SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge. ® The MAXCAP RODI 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
This completes the system initialization. If the unit is not used for several days, run the system for at least 10 min- utes before collecting any water. SpectraPure®Inc .

However, if you later install an ASO Valve/Check Valve for automatic operation, all air must be kept purged from the housings.

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. -

® SpectraPure FLOW RESTRICTOR REMOVAL, ADJUSTMENT & REPLACEMENT Locate the yellow concentrate tubing (Fig. B ). Remove tubing from its push-fitting: Firmly depress and hold the push-fitting collar down with your thumbnail. While the push-fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out of the push-fitting. - Page 9 It also forces waste water to flow through the capillary tubing to restrict waste water as it leaves the housing.)

Page 11: Metering & Diagnostics
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 prefilters. -
Page 12: Sediment Filter Diagnostic
® SpectraPure SEDIMENT PRE-FILTER REPLACEMENT: A Sediment Filter will usually last approx. 4-6 months, depending on its micron rating and quality of water. (The life span of the filter is determined by the turbidity, iron content, organics, and total particulate volume in your water source). -

Page 14: Ro Membrane Diagnostic
® SpectraPure RO MEMBRANE DIAGNOSTIC: Although RO membranes are capable of maintaining high water quality over extended periods of time they eventually will begin to deteriorate. Normally, the conductivity of the permeate water will increase as the membranes age, and/or the production slows down as they plug-up with hardness. - Page 15 RO membrane.
