It is very important to make sure you are aware of all plumbing and electrical codes in your area before you start the
As always, please follow proper plumbing and electrical safety procedures while installing and operating this unit.
Set- Up
q
1. Install the pre-filter (s) into the housing.
q 2. Install the membrane (s) into the housing. The housings will have an arrow showing direction of flow. The
brine seal should always be installed on the same side as the incoming water. See page 18.
q 3. Open the Waste and Recycle Valves until they are fully open.
q
4. Connect all the plumbing. Supply / Permeate / Concentrate. Do not open incoming water supply yet.
q
5. Connect all the electrical connections including the Liquid Level Switch.
Start- Up
q
1. Be sure All pre-treatment is in operation.
q
2. Turn the Power Switch to On. The Power On Indicator and the Low Pressure Indicator will light.
q
3. All the pressure gauges should still read 0.
q
4. Turn on the Incoming Feed Water.
q
5. The Incoming Pressure Gauge should rise above 20 PSI. When the incoming pressure reaches approximately
20 PSI the Low Pressure Indicator will turn off.
q
6. After a delay of 15-30 seconds the pump will turn on. After the pump turns on the System Pressure Gauge will
start to rise.
q
7. Adjust the Waste Valve by closing it slowly, until the Product and Waste Flow Meters show the same values in
GPM. If the unit is not supplied with flow meters, product and waste flow rates must be checked manually.
q 8. Adjust the Recycle Valve by closing it slowly, until the System Pressure Gauge shows approximately 190-200
PSI.
q
9. The reverse osmosis unit is now in operation. Check for leaks. Product water PPM will take about 20 minutes
to reach optimum quality. Provided that pre-treatment is in operation
Initial Testing
After about 30 minutes the incoming and product water should be tested with a TDS Meter. There should be
no less than a 90% rejection. If the rejection is lower than 90% double check the membrane installation and
