OPERATION DESCRIPTION (how the system functions)

1. The incoming feed water (1/4" Black line) is passed through a 0.2 Micron ZetaZorb™Sediment Filter. This filter is

required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may cause the carbon block filter to plug.

2. The second stage of filtration is a 0.5 micron carbon block prefilter. This filter removes organics and chlorine from the

feed water that can damage the membrane.

3. The third filtration stage of the system is a high rejection thin film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis membrane. It

removes over 98% of most inorganic salts, all microorganisms and organics above 100 diatoms molecular weight. A

Flow Restrictor, located in the waste water line, is preadjusted for your location’s maximum tap water temperature.

This Flow Restrictor regulates the amount of water going to drain and determines the waste-to-product ratio. At the

maximum yearly tap water temperature, the ratio should be close to 1 to 1. As the water gets colder, the ratio will

increase by a small factor.

4. The fourth and fifth stage filter are our MAXCAP®DI cartridge followed by our SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge. These two

cartridges remove the remaining silicates, phosphates, and nitrates that make it past the RO membrane.

High and Low Float Operation:

1. Floats are to be mounted horizontal when dry and float up when wet.

2. When the bottom float goes dry, the input solenoid (INSOL) is opened and one second later, the Recirculation Pump

(PUMP) turns on.

3. When the top float becomes wet, a Flush Cycle commences and then the System shuts off until the bottom float goes

dry again.

Flush Cycle (flush cycle consumes only a couple of quarts of pure water):

1. As the system is running, a periodic sequence of flushes is performed.

2. When the top float gets wet, or every 8 hours of uninterrupted operation, the flush cycle is initiated.

3. After the flush cycle, the system shuts down if the tank is full or pauses for an hour to let the pure water soak the

membrane before continuing.

SpectraPure® Inc.assumes no responsibility for water damage due to leaks. It is

the user’s responsibility to determine that the system is leak-free.

1. CHOOSING THE BEST MOUNTING LOCATION:

LIGHT SOURCE: Algae is more likely to thrive inside clear housings when exposed to ultraviolet light and other sources

like metal halide lighting. Avoid installing the unit in bright light or direct sunlight.

EXTREME TEMPERATURES: The unit MUST be kept out of areas that are subject to extreme temperatures like freezing

or temperatures greater than 113° F (45° C)

FRESH WATER RESERVOIR: Mount system in an area that will have enough room for a small trash can or reservoir. This

Fresh Water Reservoir is to be used for the Flush Cycle. (Reservoir needs to hold at least 10 gallons)

ELEVATION FOR SYSTEM: When mounting your UHE, make sure it is elevated above your fresh water reservoir:

2. TOOLS RECOMMENDED FOR INSTALLATION:

3. INTRODUCTION TO PUSH FITTINGS:

Push fittings are similar to a Chinese finger trap toy. In order to release its grip from tubing,..

- Firmly depress and hold the push-fitting collar down with your thumbnail.

- While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out of

the push fitting. Once the tubing is removed, release the collar.

- Adjustable Wrench - Phillips Screw Driver

- Sharp X-acto®Knife - Trash Barrel or Reservoir

- Open End Wrench(s - Optional Ball Valve or Float Valve. (as shown above)

- Electric Drill - Optional Delivery Pump (as shown above)

-5/8” Drill bit

-13/16” Drill bit

4. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SYSTEM:

If you are setting up this system for the first time, or replacing either DI cartridge, it is very important that you rinse

the MaxCap®DI cartridge with the downstream DI removed. There is a large ionic load present in a new MaxCap®DI

cartridge. Failure to flush this cartridge, will shorten the life of the downstream DI.

SETUP PROCEDURES

STEP 1: Unscrew the third position housing (MaxCap®DI) and the fourth position housing (SilicaBuster DI) from the

system and remove the DI Cartridges. Then, reinstall the empty housings back onto the system.

STEP 2: Connect the 1/4" Black Line to the cold water line by using either the garden hose adapter, which is provided

with the system, or a Feed Water Adapter.

STEP 3: INSTALLATION USING THE HIGH & LOW FLOAT SWITCHES and BULKHEAD FITTINGS:

A. Install both the High and Low Floats onto a open container, such as a Rubbermaid

trash can. The floats can

be mounted by drilling a 5/8" hole.

(The High Float shuts down the system, while the Low Float turns the system on).

B. Connect the floats to the “Y” adapter.

C. Attach the 3-pin connector on the float switches to the UHE CONTROL MODULE.

NOTE: Floats are to be mounted horizontal when dry and float up when wet. In most instances we recommend

locating the low float approximately halfway down your reservoir. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN when

installing the floats.

NOTE: Floats must be installed in the FRESH WATER storage container.

This system MUST be connected to the floats to operate the Flush Cycle.

Failure to install the pure water flush connection for this unit will void any warranty.

STEP 4: For now, direct both the 1/4" blue (product or permeate) line and the yellow (waste or concentrate) line to drain.

STEP 5: Open the cold water (tap water) feed, connected to the black line. Plug in the 24 V transformer to the UHE

Module and connect to 120VAC power.

STEP 6: At this stage, the system will start producing water from the 1/4” blue and yellow lines. Discard that water for

approx. 15 -20 min.

STEP 7: PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT USING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR:

A. The Pressure Regulator, when pushed down, is in the lock position. Pull out on it to release lock.

B. While the system is producing water, turn the Pressure Regulator clockwise to increase pressure or

counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Set the pressure to 80 PSI. Then relock the pressure knob.

STEP 8: REINSTALLING AND FLUSHING DI CARTRIDGES:

A. Disconnect power to the system and turn off the water supply line.

B. Unscrew the third clear housing and reinstall the MaxCap®Cartridge.

NOTE: At this time, leave the fourth clear housing empty.

C. Turn on water supply line and reconnect power to system. Allow water to run through the MaxCap®Cartridge

and down the drain, until the right-hand meter (SET TO “IN”) reads “000”.

D. Then, follow step A and place the SilicaBuster™ DI in the fourth clear housing.

E. Finally, turn the water supply line back on, plug the power back in and allow the water to run through the

SilicaBuster™ DI Cartridge and down the drain, until the right-hand meter (SET TO “OUT”) reads “000”.

NOTE: At least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified water should be discarded during the flushing procedure

before you can collect purified water for use.

Upon startup, air may be trapped in the DI cartridges (housings may not appear full). This is a normal

condition and will not affect the operation of the RO/DI system.

SETUP PROCEDURES (continued)

STEP 9: CONNECT BULKHEAD FITTINGS:

(Bulkhead Fittings MUST be installed on the same container that the floats are on, SEE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 7)

STEP 10: FINAL CONNECTION:

A. Direct the waste line (yellow) to a drain or connect it permanently to a drain pipe via a Drain Saddle. (Drain

Saddle is not included with system.)

CAUTION: Inspect for leaks and do not leave the system alone until you are sure there are no leaks.

Monitor the system for 72 hrs.

1/4" BULK HEAD FITTING:

Use a paddle bit and carefully drill a 5/8"

hole for installation at the top of the

reservoir (above the high level float).

3/8" BULK HEAD FITTING:

Use a paddle bit and carefully drill a 13/16"

hole for installation at the bottom of the

reservoir (below the low level float).

CAUTION

An extremely long drain line may create a siphon which will pull the water past the 4# check valve

and cause water to drain from the tank after shutdown. The following solution assumes that you

have already installed the system above the tank.

Route the yellow 1/4” waste water line up above the system as high as possible. Run a 1/2" drain pipe

(or a garden hose) from the drain location up vertically to the elevated yellow 1/4" waste water line.

Insert the waste water line down into the 1/2" drain line a few inches to create a “siphon break”.

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION FOR WASTE WATER LINE

(USING A DRAIN SADDLE)

CHECK BEFORE LEAVING SYSTEM UNATTENDED:

-Ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before leaving the system unattended.

-The concentrate line (yellow) includes a smaller capillary tube (flow restrictor) that is located “inside” of

the tubing. Do not remove or discard this restrictor; the system will not produce permeate water without

the flow restrictor.

-The following conditions must be met before water can be produced: The water source must be turned

“ON” and the water level in the reservoir tank must be below the low level float.

SETUP PROCEDURES (continued)

ERRATIC OPERATION

Erratic operation can almost always be determined to be caused by the electric floats or the wires connecting them

to the control module.

Here’s a test to determine if the problem lies with the floats or the control module. Disconnect the 3 pin cable to the

floats at the control module. Looking back at the control module, there should be 3 socket holes in the connector. Get

two small paper clips and bend them so you can insert one into the red (#1) and white (#2) socket holes and the other

into the black (#3) hole and again into the white (#2) hole.

Electrically, this should look like two dry floats and the system should start up. Remove the white-black jumper and the

system should continue to run (this represents the bottom float getting wet). Remove the red-white jumper and the

system should start its final flush (this represents the top float getting wet) and then shut off. Reverse the sequence by

inserting the red-white jumper. Nothing should happen because this just looks like the top float going dry. Insert the

white-black jumper and the system should start up again (as the bottom float goes dry). If you can reliably repeat this

sequence multiple times, then the problem is with the floats or the wires. Look for loose connections and floats that

have rotated in the reservoir, no longer pointing straight out when dry and bending up when wet.
