HOT WATER.

The temperature of the water

supply to the Reverse Osmosis

system must be between the

minimum of 40°F. to the

maximum of 100°F. See the

Specification Guidelines.

■

Do Not

open the water

supply/saddle valve until the

pipes have been flushed.

WARNING:

Discard all

unused parts and packaging

material after installation.

Small parts remaining after

the installation could be a

choke hazard.

■Sanitizing is recommended

upon installation of the

Reverse Osmosis system, and

after servicing inner parts. It

is important for the service

person to have clean hands

while handling inner parts of

the system. See the

Sanitizing

the Reverse Osmosis System

section.

Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

The system makes a good supply of drinking water each day.

How much it will make depends primarily on these things…

Feed water pressure—pounds per square inch (psi)

40–125

Feed water temperature limits—minimum/maximum degrees F.

40–100

Water quality

Maximum total dissolved solids (TDS)—parts per million (ppm)

2000

Maximum water hardness @ 6.9 pH—grains per gallon (gpg)

Maximum iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide

Chlorine in water supply

Allowable*

Feed water pH limits (pH)

4–10

Percent rejection of TDS, minimum (new membrane)**

*Chlorine removed (maximum of 2.0 ppm) by the Reverse Osmosis

Prefilter…regular replacement of the prefilter is required. Chlorine will

destroy the Reverse Osmosis membrane.

**Feed water at 50 psig and 77°F. with 750 ppm sodium chloride. Quality

water production, amount of waste water and percent rejection all vary

with changes in pressure, temperature and total dissolved solids.

On average you should expect your Reverse Osmosis system to be

able to deliver 18 gallons of product per day, as tested by Water Quality

Association Standard S-300. Output according to ANSI/NSF Standard 58

is 10.9 gallons per day.

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

About the reverse osmosis system.

The system is a

REVERSE OSMOSIS

filtration unit. Reverse osmosis is

a way of removing dissolved solids and organic matter from water by

passing it through a special membrane. The membrane separates

minerals and impurities from the water and they are flushed to the

drain. High quality product water goes directly to the drinking

water faucet, or to the storage tank.

The system includes an electronic faucet assembly with an

integrated water testing feature. When water is taken from the

faucet, a green indicator light means removal is within the specified

limits.

Prefilters and postfilters are replaceable cartridges. The prefilter

removes up to 2 ppm (parts per million) of chlorine while also

filtering sediments. The postfilter removes any other undesirable

tastes and odors before you use the water.

High quality product water may have a different taste than what

you’re used to.

What the Reverse Osmosis system will do

Safety InformationOperating InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

About the reverse osmosis system.

Prefilter

—Water from the cold supply pipe

enters the Reverse Osmosis assembly and is

directed to the prefilter cartridge.

NOTE:

Before

going to the prefilter, supply water first passes

through the electronic box to measure TDS.

The prefilter is a replaceable sediment cartridge

with activated carbon in its composition. The

cartridge removes sand, silt, dirt, other sediments

and up to 2.0 ppm of chlorine from the feed

water.

CHLORINE DESTROYS THE REVERSE OSMOSIS

MEMBRANE.

Filtered, clean, chlorine-free water

flows from the prefilter to the Reverse Osmosis

membrane cartridge.

IMPORTANT:

See prefilter in

the

Care and Cleaning

section.

Product Water Storage—

The storage area

holds up to 1.9 gallons of product water. The

flexible bladder keeps water pressurized for fast

flow to the faucet when drinking water is

needed.

Check Valve—

A check valve is built into the

bottom end of the Reverse Osmosis housing.

The check valve prevents a backward flow of

product water from the storage area. A backward

flow could cause rupture of the Reverse Osmosis

membrane.

Shutoff Assembly—

To conserve water, the

drinking water system has an automatic shutoff.

When the storage tank has filled to capacity and

the drinking water faucet is closed, pressure

closes the shutoff. Water flow to the Reverse

Osmosis housing is shut off until drinking water

is used again, and pressure drops in the Reverse

Osmosis system.

How the Reverse Osmosis system works

Customer ServiceTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Information

Reverse Osmosis Cartridge—

The cartridge, inside the Reverse

Osmosis housing, includes a tightly

wound, special membrane. Water is

forced through the cartridge where the

membrane removes the dissolved solids

and organic matter. High quality

product water exits the Reverse Osmosis

housing and goes to the storage area.

Reject water, with the dissolved solids

and organic matter, leaves the housing

and is discharged to the drain through

1⁄4″tubing.

Postfilter—

After leaving the storage

area, but before going to the faucet,

product water goes to the postfilter.

The postfilter is also the activated

carbon type sediment filter. Any

remaining tastes, odors, or sediments

are removed from product water.

Clean, high quality drinking water flows

through the tubing and to the faucet.

See the

Care and Cleaning

section for

location.

Flow Control—

The flow control

regulates flow through the Reverse

Osmosis cartridge to the required rate

to get the desired quality of product

water. The control is located in the

drain tubing, at the Reverse Osmosis

cap fitting. A small, cone-shaped screen

fits over the front end of the flow control

to help prevent plugging with drain

water sediments.

About the reverse osmosis system.

The Faucet and Indicator Lights

Faucet and Electronics—

The countertop faucet

dispenses the filtered drinking water when opened. It

has a hand operated, spring loaded closed lever to

prevent waste. You can keep the faucet open by pushing

upward on the lever to lock it against the faucet spout.

To comply with plumbing codes, an air-gap is built into

the faucet drain water connection.

The electronic faucet provides an integrated water

quality tester. As water is taken from the faucet, the

indicator lights show how the Reverse Osmosis system is

operating to provide high quality drinking water.

Flashing Green Light—

The Reverse Osmosis system

is providing you with higher quality drinking water.

NOTE:

The green light may stop flashing when the

supply of Reverse Osmosis water is nearly gone and flow

from the Reverse Osmosis faucet decreases. This is a

normal condition.

Flashing Amber “FILTER” Light—

The prefilter and

postfilter cartridges need replacing. See the

Care and

Cleaning

section.

Flashing Amber “RO” Light—

The Reverse Osmosis

cartridge is no longer removing at least 75% of the TDS

from the supply water and needs replacement.

NOTE:

Disregard initial or short periods of the flashing “RO”

light.

WHEN THE AMBER “RO” LIGHT FLASHES…

Replace the

Reverse Osmosis cartridge, flow control and screen.

Countertop sink and base.

If the Reverse Osmosis Filtration System Is Connected to Your Icemaker

“Before you service the filter, change the filters, or purge the

Filtration system, YOU MUST turn off the icemaker by raising

the feeler arm. Three hours after servicing your unit, lower

the feeler arm to resume icemaking.”
