SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

The SpectraPure® High Chloramine Removal system is a five -stage reverse osmosis

deionization system.

1. First, the incoming feed water is passed through a 0.5 micron MicroTec™ sediment

prefilter. This filter is required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may

cause the membrane to become fouled.

2. The second stage of filtration is a 1 micron Pentek ChlorPlus carbon block prefilter.

This filter removes organics and chlorine from the feed water that can damage the

membrane and any particulates that are not removed by the sediment filter. The Pentek

ChlorPlus filter provides greater chloramine performance capacities than granular

carbon filters.

3. The third stage of filtration is a second Pentek ChlorPlus filter. This ensures that the

maximum amount of chlorine and chloramines are removed before they can negatively

affect the performance of the RO Membrane.

4. The fourth filtration stage of the system is a high rejection, thin film composite (TFC)

reverse osmosis membrane. It removes, on average, 98% of most inorganic salts, all

microorganisms and almost all high molecular weight organics in the water.

5. The fifth stage moves water through a SilicaBuster®Mixed-Bed Multi-Layer Deionization

Cartridge. SilicaBuster®Deionization Cartridges are fabricated with semiconductor grade

resins for the highest possible purity water. They are capable of producing 18 megohm-cm

resistivity water. They are the first DI cartridges designed to reduce silica, nitrates and

phosphate levels in the low ppb range. These newly formulated cartridges far exceed the

performance of previous cartridges, offering enhanced contaminant removal, longer life and

higher purity.

Caution: The deionization cartridge life is greatly reduced when operated

on low pH waters or water with high CO2(carbon dioxide) levels.

The exact cartridge life will vary greatly with pH, carbon dioxide levels, TDS,

etc., in your RO water or the feed water supplying the RO system. Aeration

or degasification of RO product water is recommended for such waters for

removal of carbon dioxide.

WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS:

Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors.

To remove the tubing from its push fitting:

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

2. While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out

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

To reinsert the tubing into its push fitting:

1. Moisten the O-ring seal inside the push fitting by dripping a few drops

of clean water into the fitting.

2. Grasp the tubing near the end, and insert the tubing into the push

fitting.

3. Push the tubing into the fitting until resistance is felt, approximately

1/2 inch (12.7 mm). The tubing is now resting on the O-ring seal

inside the fitting.

4. Firmly push the tubing approximately an additional 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)

further into the fitting to completely seat the line into the fitting and

past the O-ring seal.

5. Turn on the system water supply and check for leaks prior to further

use or testing. If a leak is observed, you may not have pushed the

tubing into the push fitting far enough to seal the tubing against the

O-ring. Turn off the system water supply and reseat the tubing as

described above.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION:

1. Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to damage by

ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as metal halide lighting.

2. Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to bright light

or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings

when exposed to bright light. The unit must be kept out of areas that are

subject to freezing temperatures.

3. High temperatures greater than 113° F (45° C) must be avoided. If the unit is

used outside, avoid putting the system in direct sunlight or connecting it to a

garden hose that may be exposed to sunlight.

4. Attach the black tap water tubing to the left side of the Sediment Filter Housing

(See “IN Port” on page 4).

5. Attach the yellow drain line to the union connector at the rear of the system. This

connector already has a red tube attached to it.

6. Attach the blue product line to the front port (after the “tee”) of the right-hand

DI housing. (See image below)

7. Attach the black tubing and elbow to the membrane housing cap.

8. Attach the garden hose adapter (connected to the black tubing) to your

cold water source. Never run hot water (greater than 113° F/45° C) through

the system.

9. Remove the DI filter cartridge from the right-hand filter housing. Reconnect

the housing to its threaded cap. Hand tighten.

10. An optional ball valve can be located at a convenient place on the black tap

water line. Cut the black tubing in two and reconnect the two cut ends with

the ball valve, if desired.

11. Place the yellow concentrate (waste) tubing and the blue purified (product)

water tubing temporarily into a drain. Do not restrict flow from these lines.

12. Let both tubings run water down the drain for one hour.

13. Reinstall the DI cartridge into the DI housing. Hand tighten.

14. There is a group of red, white, and green sensor wires. At the end of the wires,

you will find a white connector. Just insert the connector into the receptacle

on the top of the TDS monitor. You can then use the Velcro on the back to

mount the meter wherever it’s convenient. For example, even on a wall for

easier viewing.

15. Open the cold water supply valve. The pressure should not exceed 80 psi.

16. Upon startup, air may be trapped in the DI cartridge (housing may not appear

full), this is a normal condition and it will not affect the operation of the DI

system. However, if you later install an ASO Valve/Check Valve/Float Valve for

automatic operation, all air must be kept purged from the housings by slightly

unscrewing the housing and letting the running water displace the air until the

housing is full of water. When full, hand tighten the housing.

17. Set the meter to “Line 3” and run the system until the meter reads zero. The

water is now ready to use. You can set the meter to monitor either of the

3 probes at any time. “Line 1” displays the Tap Water TDS. “Line 2” displays

the TDS of the RO Water. “Line 3” displays the TDS of the DI (product) Water.

18. Close the cold water supply valve.

19. Finish the installation by directing or connecting the yellow line to a

permanent drain.

20. Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before leaving

the system unattended. (If anything is leaking, contact SpectraPure for assistance.)

NOTE: It may take several days of normal operation for the membrane to

reach its full production rate.

CHECK:

»Ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before leaving the

system unattended.

»The red concentrate (waste) line 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 (product )water without the flow restrictor.

SpectraPure

METERING AND DIAGNOSTICS:

This SpectraPure purification system has been fully equipped with sufficient

instrumentation to make monitoring and troubleshooting an easy process. The

provided pressure gauge is used to determine the tap water pressure and to

evaluate the condition of the sediment and carbon prefilters.

USING THE PRESSURE GAUGE

The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the Sediment and Carbon

Prefilters (not the RO Membrane). When the filters are new, the gauge will

indicate the actual available house water pressure. As the filters collect particulates,

the pressure will begin to drop. A 15-20% (or more) drop in pressure would

indicate that the prefilters are in need of replacement.

USING THE THREE-PROBE TDS METER (TRM-1 METER)

The digital TDS meter (three probe) will provide a reliable means of evaluating the

performance of the RO membrane and the Deionization Cartridge. The numbers

from the three probe readings can be used to calculate the percentage of rejection

of the RO membrane and the exhaustion point of the DI Cartridge.

Procedure for testing the RO Membrane:

1. Follow the instructions on page 11.

Procedure for testing the Deionization Cartridge:

1. When the reading on the probe (set to “Line 3”) displays “001”, it is time to replace

the DI cartridge. The system must be running when taking this reading.

Warning!!

The TRM -1 TDS Meter does not detect the presence of CO2, silica, organic

contaminants or microorganisms, nor should it be used as a medical or scientific

instrument. It should be used as an indicator or guide only, and does not imply

water safe for human consumption. No application other than monitoring the

electrical conductivity of water is expressed or implied.

TESTING THE QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE:

MEMBRANE OUTPUT CALCULATION

Membranes produce the rated gallons per day (GPD) at 60 psi (4.1 bars) operating

pressure, 77°F (25°C) operating temperature and 250 ppm total dissolved solids.

Membrane output gallons per day (GPD) depends on operating pressure, water

temperature and the ppm TDS in the feed water.

Expected GPD = Rated GPD × PCF × TCF

PCF is the pressure correction factor

TCF is the temperature correction factor

Calculation of Pressure Correction Factor (PCF): The output (GPD) from

the membrane is directly proportional to the applied pressure.

NOTE: The membrane is rated to produce the rated GPD at 60 psi. For any

pressure other than 60 psi the output GPD is multiplied by the PCF.

PCF = Line Pressure (in psi) ÷ 60

Calculation of Temperature Correction Factor (TCF): The output (GPD)

also decreases with decrease in temperature. This is because water viscosity

increases with decrease in water temperature.
