SECTION I. INTRODUCTION Your new Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) Drinking Water System uses a combination of filtration technologies to reduce unwanted contaminants in a water supply. The following steps combine to give you the best in clear sparkling drinking water: MECHANICAL FILTRATION–The Sediment Prefilter has been designed to reduce the larger particles such as silt, rust and scale. Its 5 micron (equal to 0.0002 inch) nominal rating helps to give maximum life to the R.O. Membrane.
SECTION II. SPECIFICATIONS TABLE A – RECOMMENDED OPERATING LIMITS FOR FEED WATER Specifications T.F.C. Membrane Water Pressure 40–100 psig (280–690 kPa) 2000 ppm (also mg/l) max. Temperature 40–100°F (4–38°C) 4–11 (optimum rejection at pH 7.0 - 7.5) Hardness Less than 10 gpg (170 mg/l) or soften Iron Less than 0.1 ppm (also mg/l) Manganese...

B. Tools Recommended for Installation open area beneath the faucet under the sink for attaching product and drain tubing are The following tools will cover most of the considerations. installation sites encountered: 2. Drinking Water Holding Tank–The Holding " variable speed electric drill. Tank may be placed where it is convenient 2.
SECTION IV. INSTALLATION STEPS •Turn the Handle of the Feed Water Saddle Valve counter clockwise (outward) until the lance does not protrude from the gasket. It All plumbing should be done in accordance with may have to be pushed in. state and local plumbing codes.
3/8" DRAIN CLAMP ASSEMBLY D. R.O. Manifold Assembly Installation Locate the site per Sec. III, C.3. Various installation sites will require different types Drain Pipe 1/4" Nut of mounting fasteners; be sure the fastener selected will provide a firm, solid mounting. A support panel may be necessary on thin cabinet walls or to span between wall studs on Drain Clamp particleboard or drywall.
4. Locate the ¼" yellow tubing with the tee 1. Sanitizing the system. Use a drip pan to aid attached to one end. Remove the yellow plug clean–up. from the fitting labeled "Out" on the manifold NOTE: The system should be sanitized and insert the tubing. BEFORE installing the Sediment Prefilter, E. ...
2. Installing the R.O. Membrane: Holding Tank is full and no water is being used, the ASO Valve will automatically shut •Remove the R.O. Membrane Housing, (the off the feed water to conserve water. The closest of the three to the In-Out ports), and more water that is used (up to the capacity empty.
4. To sanitize the system and replace the filters: •Do not open the Faucet for at least 8 hours. NOTE: The system should be sanitized •Discard the first three full tanks of water before installing the Sediment Prefilter and produced, they will contain chlorine. Activated Carbon Prefilter. •Use a good quality unscented 5¼% liquid IN–LINE ACTIVATED CARBON chlorine household bleach. POST FILTER ASSEMBLY •Add one capful of bleach (this is 2 tsp.
SECTION VI. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Problem Possible Cause Solution Low quantity of Product Water Feed Water Saddle Valve is plugged or Open Valve or unclog. from Holding Tank closed. Clogged Sediment Prefilter or Replace Filters. Activated Carbon Prefilter. Low water pressure. Feed Water pressure must be above 40 psig. R.O. Membrane is fouled. See Feed Water operating limits.
