& needs to be protected. This is done by pre-filtration. Depending on the size of your system RO-MAN systems have two or three pre filters. For this purpose we are looking at a 3 stage 50 gallon per day system.
Page TARTING NSTALLATION Preparation Determine the location for the installation of the system. Avoid locations where the system might come in contact with hot water pipes, other hazards or is exposed to extreme cold, an RO membrane will be damaged by frost. Determine the location for the discharge of the waste water.
Page NOT NOW but when you are ready to feed water to the RO system you turn the wing nut fully clockwise which will cause a spike to be driven into the copper pipe and then anti clockwise to start the flow of water. Please note do not use this valve on a regular basis to turn the system on and off, a ball valve should be used for this.

The membrane has a plastic core in the centre of the membrane material. You will see there are two small black o-rings.
Page Disconnect the existing pipe from the right hand side of the membrane housing that goes to the DI Unit and connect one end of the supplied blue pipe to replace it. The other end of this pipe goes to a collection vessel. Disconnect the green pipe from the back of the CCB filter housing and connect it to the Tee piece with the green cap found on the top right of the RO system.

Page a) Check to see if the water is flowing out the Green discharge line... if so, then the membrane is getting water. b) Disconnect the blue line from the RO membrane housing..is there any water? c) If the Green line is flowing and the blue is not, it may be blocked, check the valve at the RO Housing.
