SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

1. First, the incoming feed water (1/4" Black line) is passed through a 0.5 micron

MicroTec sediment prefilter. 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. (90 gpd

Systems have 1 membrane, 180 Systems have 2 membranes.)

4. The fourth and fifth stage filters are our MaxCap®DI cartridge followed by

SpectraPure’s SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge.

The MaxCap®RODI system comes equipped with two Dual Inline TDS monitors.

The first monitor shows TDS levels of pre and post RO membrane water. The

second monitor helps detect the exhaustion points of the DI stages.

The MaxCap®DI is used as a “roughing” cartridge followed by our original

SilicaBuster™ DI . For example, if the RO water has 25 ppm TDS (Total Dissolved

Solids) entering a SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge alone, it may only process about

200 gallons of pure DI water. By placing a MaxCap®DI cartridge in front of the

SilicaBuster™ cartridge, 600 gallons of water will pass through both cartridges

before the MaxCap®DI is exhausted. The SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge will be only

one-third exhausted. A second MaxCap®DI will process another 600 gallons

and the SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge will now be two-thirds exhausted. Only

after a third MaxCap®DI cartridge processes another 600 gallons will the

SilicaBuster™ DI cartridge finally become fully exhausted.

This example illustrates that three MaxCap®DI cartridges plus the original

mixed-bed cartridge will process 1800 gallons of pure DI water. It would have

taken nine standard mixed-bed cartridges to produce the same amount of pure

DI water.

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 sub-

ject 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 page 6)

5. Attach the yellow drain line to the Union Connector attached to the red tubing

with the flow restrictor inside. (See page 6)

SpectraPure

SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION: (continued)

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

DI housing.

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

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

cold water source. Never run hot water (greater than 100° F/38° C) through

the system.

9. Remove the two DI filter cartridges from the two right-hand filter housings.

Reconnect the two housings to their threaded caps. 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 two DI cartridges into the DI housings. Hand tighten.

14. There are two groups of red, white, and blue 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 each TDS monitor. You can then use the Velcro on

the back to mount the meters where ever 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 cartridges (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(s) and letting the running water displace the air until

the housings are full of water. When full, hand tighten the housings.

17. Set the right-side meter to “OUT” and run the system until that meter reads

zero. The water is now ready to use. You can set either meter to read either

probe at any time.

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.

CAUTION:

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

• The 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.

MEASURING WASTE TO PRODUCT WATER RATIO:

This procedure will assure you of maximum life and reliability of your SpectraPure

System. Failure to perform this procedure can permanently damage the membrane

and will void Warranty.

In order to maximize the life of your SpectraPure RO Membrane, you may need

to adjust the ratio of the concentrate to purified water. If not enough concentrate

is allowed to flow past the membrane during operation, the impurities will

precipitate out on the membrane surface, clogging the RO Membrane. To keep

this from happening, the Concentrate to Purified Water Ratio must be checked

and adjusted in order to compensate for pressure and temperature variations that

exist in all water supplies. The flow rate of the concentrate must be a minimum of

3X the product flow rate. 3X to 5X is an acceptable concentrate flow rate.

PROCEDURE: (You will need a Stop Watch and Measuring Cup)

1. Open the cold water supply valve and let the system run for 5 minutes. Direct

both tubes down the drain.

2. Collect product water from the blue tubing into a measuring cup for one

minute Measure the collected amount in milliliters (236 ml = 1 cup). Do the

same with the waste water from the yellow tubing.

WASTE (YELLOW) IN MILLILITERS______________

DIVIDED BY

PRODUCT (BLUE) IN MILLILITERS______________

The resultant is the Concentrate to Product Ratio

(Although not needed in this procedure, the daily product flow rate in Gallons

per Day (GPD) can be calculated to be equal to the product flow rate times 0.38 ).

3. If ratio is less than 3:1

Disconnect yellow drain line from the membrane housing and remove flow

restrictor as shown on pages 10-11. Use the appropriate Waste to Product ratio

chart (Fig D on page 12) to determine how long to cut the flow restrictor in

order to obtain a 3:1 to 4:1 ratio.

4. If ratio is greater than 6:1

An additional flow rectriction is required. (Please contact SpectraPure Inc.)

5. Turn on feed supply and check for leaks.

6. This completes the procedure.

NOTE: WHEN TESTING AND ADJUSTING THE RATIO, THE WATER PRESSURE

SHOULD BE BETWEEN 40-80 PSI. IF YOUR PSI IS BELOW 40, YOU

MIGHT BENEFIT FROM A BOOSTER PUMP.

FLOW RESTRICTOR REMOVAL, ADJUSTMENT

AND REPLACEMENT

1. Locate the yellow concentrate tubing (Fig. B). Remove the tubing from its

push fitting at the membrane as follows:

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

b.) While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out of

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

2. Carefully remove the flow restrictor assembly, now visible as a plastic insert

In the end of the yellow tubing (Fig. C). You may use an object such as a dull

knife to help pry the flow restrictor insert from the end of the tubing. The

entire flow restrictor (consisting of the insert collar and thin capillary tubing)

may then be gently extracted.

NOTE: Sometimes, the Flow Restrictor might get stuck in the membrane

fitting. To remove, use needle nose pliers and rock the plastic

collar back and forth, while pulling. Take care not to crush or

otherwise damage the delicate capillary tubing.

3. Refer to the Flow Restrictor Tables (Fig. D on page 10). Find the table that

represents the Flow Restrictor Assembly for the system that you have. Find the

product flow rate in the leftmost column and the length of the flow restrictor

in the rightmost column. To be safe, add two inches to that specified length.

Example: If your Flow Restrictor Assembly is for a 90 GPD Membrane and the

product flow rate is 175 ml/min, then the flow restrictor length

should be a total of 6 (+2) inches, or 8 inches (20.3 cm.).

4. Using a new single-edge razor blade, carefully measure and then cut the flow

restrictor to the total length calculated. (Do not cut with scissors.)

5. Reinsert the flow restrictor assembly into the yellow tubing and firmly reseat

the insert into the end of the yellow tubing by carefully pressing on the insert

with your thumbnail. Care should be taken not to crush or otherwise damage

the end of the capillary tubing protruding from the end of the insert.

6. Reinsert the yellow tubing into its push fitting in the RO membrane as follows:

a.) Moisten the O-ring seal inside the concentrate outlet fitting by dripping a

few drops of clean water into the fitting.

b.) Grasp the yellow tubing near the flow restrictor end, and insert the

tubing into the push fitting. Push the tubing into the fitting until resis-

tance is felt, approximately 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). The tubing is now resting

on the O-ring seal inside the fitting.

c.) 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

O-ring seal.

7. 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 yellow tubing into

the push fitting far enough to seal the tubing against the O-ring. Turn off the

system water supply and re-seat the tubing as described above. If the retested

ratio is between 3:1 and 4:1, this procedure is complete.

YELLOW TUBING:

(Disconnected

from membrane

housing’s fitting.)

CAPILLARY TUBE:

(Specific diameters

are matched for

each size membrane

to restrict the flow of

waste water leaving

the RO membrane’s

housing.)

PLASTIC INSERT: (Insert keeps

capillary tube in the yellow line and

prevents it from washing down the

drain. It also forces waste water to

flow through the capillary tubing to

restrict waste water as it leaves the

housing.)
