OPERATION DESCRIPTION (how the system functions)

1. First, the incoming feed water (1/2” 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 become plugged.

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 dalton molecular weight.

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

two cartridges remove the remaining impurities such as silicates, phosphates, and nitrates not removed by the RO

membrane, further polishing the water to 18.2 Mohms/cm2resistivity.

High and Low Float Operation:

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

NOTE: Pressure switches may also be used with pressure tanks. Please call for more details.)

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

on.

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.

PREPARATION

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).

DI WATER RESERVOIR: Mount system in an area that will have enough room for a reservoir of sufficient size. This DI

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:

USE DELIVERY PUMP TO DELIVER WATER WHERE NEEDED

FOR SALT MIXING OR TO SUMP

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:

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.

C. Once the tubing is removed, release the collar.

SETUP PROCEDURES

STEP 1: Connect the 1/2" Black Line to a cold water line that will provide unrestricted water flow

to the RO/DI system.

STEP 2: PURE WATER FLUSH CYCLE INSTALLATION USING THE HIGH AND LOW FLOAT SWITCHES.

A. Install both the High and Low Floats onto an open container.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 a DI 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 3: For now, direct both the 3/8" blue (product) line and the 3/8" yellow (waste) line to drain.

STEP 4: Open the cold water (tap water) feed that is connected to the black line. Plug in the 115/230

VAC power cord to the AC power source.

STEP 5: At this stage, the system will start producing water from the 3/8" blue and 3/8" yellow lines.

Discard that water for approx. 15 -20 min.

STEP 6: PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT USING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR:

A. When pushed down, the Pressure Regulator is in the lock position. Pull up on the knob

to release the 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 100 PSI, then

relock the pressure knob.

STEP 7: ADJUSTING THE CONCENTRATE TO PURIFIED WATER RATIO:

If not enough concentrate is allowed to leave the system during operation, impurities will

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

NOTE: This adjustment must be made at the highest feed water temperature the

system will use. The flow rate of the concentrate should be at least equal to

the product flow rate (1:1)

A. Hold both 3/8" blue and 3/8" yellow lines side-by-side and observe the flow rates.

B. Use a measuring cup and a stop watch to measure the waste and product water. Be

sure you have equal measurements and adjust accordingly.

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 prorated Membrane Warranty.

STEP 8. After you adjust the flow rate, follow STEP 7 again, if needed, to assure that the system is

operating at 100 PSI.

STEP 9. At least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified water will be discarded during this procedure

before you can collect purified water for use. Upon startup, air may be trappped 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.

STEP 10. CONNECT BULKHEAD FITTINGS:

Bulkhead Fittings MUST be installed on the same container that the floats are on, SEE

DIAGRAM ON PAGE 7.

3/8" BULKHEAD FITTING: Use a paddle bit and carefully drill a 13/16" hole for installation

at the top of the reservoir (above the high level float).

1/2" BULKHEAD FITTING: Use a paddle bit and carefully drill a hole for installlation at a

point below the high float.

STEP 11. FINAL CONNECTION:

Direct the waste line (yellow) to a drain.

NOTE: Look for leaks and do not leave the system unattended until you are sure

there are no leaks. Monitor the system for 72 hours.

CHECKLIST 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” 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 will flow throught the system:

The system must be powered up, the water source must be turned “ON” and the

water level in the reservoir tank must be below the low level float.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

We recommend that you keep replacement cartridges on hand, ready to install as soon as the

monitor indicates that the cartridge in use is exhausted.

SHELF LIFE FOR FILTERS:

PREFILTERS (Sediment and Carbon Block Filters): Prefilters have an infinite shelf life.

REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE (RO): Purchase an RO membrane when needed. If you would

like to keep one on hand, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 year. (Keep in its sealed,

original packaging). You should always see moisture inside the bag. If the membrane dries out,

it will not produce water and any warranty will be voided).

DEIONIZING CARTRIDGES (DI): Replacement DI cartridges are shipped in a Mylar®Bag. Keep

them in their sealed, original packaging until use. You can store them for up to 1 year.

SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT:

For maximum contaminant removal and long membrane life, the sediment prefilter must be changed

when the system fails to maintain a minimum inlet pressure of 30 PSI when the system is running.

If your water contains a great deal of sediment, the prefilter may require more frequent changes to

maintain adequate production rate and extended membrane life.

Materials Required: 0.2 micron ZetaZorb®Sediment Filter (SF-ZZ-0.2-20), Filter Wrench.

NOTE: Failure to use a ZetaZorb®sediment filter as the replacement will void the system’s warranty.

Procedure: (FIRST FILTER ON LEFT)

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

2. Using the provided filter wrench, remove the first housing on the left. Unscrew it

counterclockwise as viewed from the bottom.

3. Remove the old filter 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 prefilter into the housing, Screw the housing back onto the assembly,

and hand tighten only.

NOTE: Do not use filter wrench to tighten housings. Over-tightening will damage

housings and void your warranty.

6. Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.
