The incoming feed water from a cold supply pipe valve is directed through 3/8” BLACK

tubing and is first passed through a 1 micron Micro-Tec™ sediment pre-filter. This filter is

used to remove excessive turbidity, sand, dust, silt etc.that may cause the carbon filter to

plug up. The next two stages of filtration is a 5 and 1 micron carbon block pre-filter. These

filters are used to remove organics and chlorine from the feed water that can damage the

membrane. The final stage of the system is the R.O. membrane. A high rejection Thin Film

Composite (TFC) membrane is used in this system. This removes as much as 98% of most

inorganic salts, all micro-organisms and almost all high molecular weight organics in the

water.

SYSTEM HOOK-UP:

1. Attach the garden hose adapter (black tubing) to your cold water

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

the system.

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

(product) water tubing into a drain. Do not restrict flow from these

lines.

3. Open the cold water supply valve. You may use pressure up to 80 psi

(5.5 bar).

Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and

leak- free before leaving the system unattended. Monitor for

at least 72 hrs.

Note: It is recommended that at least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified

water be discarded now before collecting purified water for use. If the

unit is not used for several days, run the system for at least 10 minutes

before collecting any water. This will flush out any stale water in the

system.

4. Finish the installation by connecting the yellow line to a drain. The

blue line can be placed into a Rubber Maid™ trash can or set up

automatically using a Liquid Level Controllers. (Liquid Level

Controllers and Automatic shut off accessories sold separately.)

If you are setting up your system for the first time or replacing a

membrane, p

lease see the “

Checking the Concentrate to Purified Water

Ratio” section on page 6-8 .

CHECKING THE CONCENTRATE TO PURIFIED 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

the pro-rated Membrane 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 Puri-

fied 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:

1. Locate the Yellow waste line. Direct the waste line into a sink drain.

2. Locate the Blue product line . Direct the product line into a sink drain.

3. Turn on the Feed Supply Valve and let the system run for 20 min.

4. Collect product water from the blue line into a measuring cup for one

minute. Measure the collected amount in milli-liters. (30 ml = 1 oz) Do

the same with the waste water.

WASTE IN MILLILITERS______________ML

DIVIDED BY

PRODUCT IN MILLILITERS______________ML

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 ).

5. If ratio is less than 3:1= Remove Flow Restrictor as shown on page 8-9 and

cut 1” off.

6. Re-measure your ratio and repeat proceedure untill you acheive a 3/1 ratio.

7. If ratio is greater than 5:1, flow restrictor requires replacement

FLOW RESTRICTOR REMOVAL, ADJUSTMENT, AND REPLACEMENT:

1. Locate the yellow concentrate tubing (Page 8) 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. B). 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

coller 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 plyers and rock the collar back and forth, while pulling. Take care not to crush,

stretch or otherwise damage the delicate capillary tubing.

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

4. Re-insert the flow restrictor assembly into the yellow tubing and firmly re-seat 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 other-wise damage the end of the capillary tubing

protruding from the end of the insert.

5. Re-insert 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 resistance 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.

6. 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

reseat the tubing as described above.

SEDIMENT PRE-FILTER REPLACEMENT

Maintenance Regime: For maximum contaminant removal and long

membrane life, the sediment pre-filter must be changed when a 15-20% drop in

pressure is observed OR at least 6-month intervals. If your water contains a great

deal of sediment the pre-filter may require more frequent changes to maintain

adequate production rate and extended membrane life.

Materials Required: 1 micron MicroTec™ Sediment Filter (SF-MT-1-10)

Procedure:

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

2. Using the provided filter wrench, remove the left clear sediment

pre-filter housing. Unscrew it counterclockwise as viewed from the

bottom

3. Remove the old filter from the housing and discard.

4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water

and a few teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean

hot water.

5. Install the new pre-filter onto the round port in the head of the housing,

screw the housing back onto the assembly, and

hand tighten only

6. Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.

CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT

Maintenance Regime: At least every 6 months or when chlorine breakthrough

greater than 0.1 ppm occurs in the concentrate from yellow line. To test for chlorine

breakthrough , collect a 10 ml sample of the concentrate from the yellow tubing and

test the chlorine concentration using test kit TK-CL-25. If the chlorine concentration is

above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon pre-filter.

Materials Required: 5 & 1 micron Carbon Block Filter (CF-5-10 & CF-1-10)

Procedure:

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

2. Using the provided filter wrench, remove the right clear carbon block filter

housing. Unscrew it counterclockwise as viewed from the bottom.

3. Remove the old filter from the housing and discard.

4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water and a few

teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean hot water.

5. Install the new carbon block filter, making sure that the black gaskets on

both ends of the filter are firmly seated in the gasket recesses.

1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system where the

membrane housing is easily accessible.

2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push-fitting by

depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the tubing

from the push-fitting (Page 7).

3. Lift the membrane housing from the retention clips.

4. Unscrew the membrane housing lid. This may require two people.

5. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the membrane stem and pull the membrane

from the housing (Fig. D).

Remove the black housing O-ring (Fig. D). Wash the empty housing

with

soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with hot, clean water.

7. Insert new membrane into the housing, with the double O-ring end first

(Fig. E). The tube must fit into the recess at the bottom of the membrane

housing. When the membrane is aligned with the hole, firmly push the

membrane into the hole until it bottoms out.

8. Place the black housing O-ring on the housing rim and carefully screw the lid

back on to the base.

9. Reconnect the black tubing to the membrane feed push-fitting.
