- SYSTEM DESCRIPTION -

The Producer™ RO System is a three stage reverse osmosis system.

1. First, the incoming feed water is passed through a Carbon Tank pre-filter.

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

damage the membrane.

2. The second stage of filtration is a 0.5 micron Sediment pre-filter. This filter is

required to remove excess turbidity (particulate matter) that may

cause the membrane to plug.

NOTE: At this point you can add an (optional) Water Softener to increase

the membrane life

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 micro-organisms and almost all high molecular weight organics in

the water.

SpectraPure

Tap Water Hook-Up:

1. Attach the garden hose adapter to your

cold

water source. Never run hot

water (greater than 100° F (38° C)) through the system.

Carbon Rinse:

2. Remove Sediment Filter from the 10” housing and screw the empty

housing back on. (Do not tighten housing with provided filter wrench.

The wrench is used to unscrew housings only).

Do not connect water to

the membrane at this time.

3. Run water through the Carbon tank until the water runs clear. Discard this

water down the drain.

4. Once the water runs clear, re-install Sediment Filter and connect to RO

membrane.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane Rinse:

5. You must rinse out the membrane preservative by running 2 gallons of

purified water. If you have DI resin cartridges after the membrane, rinse

the membrane with the down-stream DI’s removed. Discard this water

down the drain.

* When replacing the membrane, bypass the RO water to a drain for 2

gallons.

Waste to Product Flow Adjustment:

6. Place the yellow concentrate tubing and the blue purified water tubing into

a drain. Do not restrict flow from these lines.

7. Open the cold water supply valve. You may use pressure up to 80 psi (5.5

bar).

8. Adjust the flow restrictor needle valve, page 6, (#13) until you receive a 3/1

ratio of waste/product water by measuring product & waste water

production for 1 minute each.

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

leaving the system unattended.

If the unit is not used for several days, run the system for at least 15 minutes

before collecting any water.

- SYSTEM INITIALIZATION -

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

lease adjust the ratio of waste vs. product shown in steps 6-8.

- INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR OPTIONAL FLOATS -

NOTE: Floats are to be

mounted horizontal when

dry and float up when

wet. In most instances we

recommend locating the

low float approx. half way

down your reservoir. DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN when

installing the floats.

Float Installation:

1. Instal both the High and Low Floats onto a open container like a

Rubber Maid

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).

2. Connect the floats to the grey electrical extension cable and then to

the 3-socket connector on the S.V.C.

Solenoid Installation:

3. Un-screw current push-fitting from the carbon tank. (This fitting is

the input connection for the tap water).

4. Thread on the Brass Nipple to the Carbon Tank and then the

Solenoid. (Arrow on Solenoid points in the direction where the water

flows). PAGE 8.

5. Connect electrical cable to S.V.C. and thread last two fittings onto the

solenoid as shown on page 8.

TRANSFORMER

6. 3/8” BULK HEAD 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)

7. Provide over-flow plumbing suitable for your storage tank and installation.

-MAINTENANCE -

Sediment Pre-Filter and Carbon Tank:

1. A 10-15% (or more) drop in pressure would indicate that the

Sediment Pre-Filter or Carbon needs replacement. To determine

which needs to be changed, follow this procedure:

- Note the pressure reading on the gauge.

- Remove the Sediment Pre-Filter out of the 10” housing and

screw the empty housing back on.

- Run water through the system to see if you get an increase in

pressure on the gauge.

* If you do get an increase in pressure when running this test, then

the sediment filter needs to be replaced.

* If the pressure stays the same, then you need to back wash the

carbon tank. (An optional manual back wash valve is available for

the carbon tank).

* If the carbon tank plugs prematurely and you do not have a

manual backwash valve, please contact us for further instructions.

2. Monitor the Carbon tank for chlorine removal by using a chlorine

test kit (TK-CL-5-KIT). If there is any presence of chlorine after the

carbon tank, change the carbon.

Using the Pressure Gauge

The pressure gauge is used to monitor the condition of the pre-filters.

When the pre-filters are new, the gauge will indicate the actual available

water pressure. As the filter collects particulates, the pressure will begin

to drop.

MEMBRANE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

The following chart illustrates the procedure for determination of RO membrane

performance. However, the chart represents only rough guidelines for determin-

ing performance of RO membrane. Depending on your tap water chemistry, the

rejection characteristics of the membrane may vary significantly.
