Nimbus Water Systems WaterMaker Five WM5-50 User Manual page 3

Congratulations on your purchase of the WaterMaker Five reverse osmosis system.
The WaterMaker Five features a four-stage prefilter, membrane and postfilter
housed in a single cartridge. The fifth stage, an in-line carbon filter, is placed
between tank and faucet.
When properly maintained, this system will provide you with years of trouble-
free service. The next sections contain important information on the proper care
and maintenance of your system, please take a few minutes to read through this
information.
The cartridges in this system must be replaced on a regular basis to maintain
efficiency and to ensure high water quality. These cartridges work together and
must be replaced every 6-12 months. Any significant change in performance of
the system should be investigated promptly to avoid secondary damage or
deterioration to other parts of the system.
Normally, the reverse osmosis membrane is replaced during an annual filter
change. However, if at any time you notice a reduction in water production or an
unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis water, it could be time to replace the
membrane. Nimbus recommends replacing the membrane when TDS reduction
falls below 75%.
In order to ensure the system is functioning properly, a water sample must be sent
in to Nimbus every 6 months for a free diagnosis of your membrane performance.
To send a water sample, use two clean containers and fill one with 1/2 cup of tap
water and the other with 1/2 cup of RO water. Clearly label each sample. Send the
samples to the address listed on the cover of this manual, attention "Water Sample
Testing". Nimbus will test the samples and mail or call you with the results.
CAUTION: Improperly installed systems could result in water damage due to
leaks or flooding. Proper installation of this system requires familiarity with
standard sink plumbing and proper use of common hand and power tools.
This system has been designed for installation by licensed professionals, such
as a contractor or plumber.

The WaterMaker Five uses
the latest in system design
and membrane technology to
reduce the amount of water
down the drain by 50%.
The WaterMaker Five is
smaller and uses significantly
fewer resources in the
manufacturing process than
the typical 5-stage RO system.
Smaller packaging and a
lighter shipping weight further
reduce impact on the
environment.
