IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
n Check with your state and local public works
department for plumbing and sanitation codes.
You must follow these guidelines as you install the
Reverse Osmosis system. Using a qualified installer
is recommended.
n If house water pressure is over the maximum
(125 pounds per square inch), install a pressure
reducing valve in the water supply line to the Reverse
Osmosis system.
n Be sure the water supply conforms with the
Specification Guidelines. If the water supply conditions
are unknown, contact your municipal water company
or your local health department for a list of
contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories
certified by your state to analyze drinking water.
WARNING:
Before using the Reverse
Osmosis system for the first time, the system must be
purged. The Reverse Osmosis cartridge contains
a food grade preservative that must be purged
from the system. The preservative will give product
water an unpleasant taste and odor.
n This product reduces fluoride in drinking water.
Please consult your dentist if you have questions.
WARNING:
Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before the system.
Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
This system has been tested for the treatment of
water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known
as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.050
mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent
arsenic, but may not reduce other forms of arsenic.
This system is to be used on water supplies
containing a detectable free chlorine residual or
on water supplies that have been demonstrated
to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment
with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient
to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic
to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts
section of the Performance Data Sheet for further
information.
This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable
treatment membrane cartridge critical for effective
reduction of Total Dissolved Solids. The water should
be tested periodically to verify that the system is
performing satisfactorily. See the About the Water Test
Kit section. This system is acceptable for treatment of
influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L
nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured as
N and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for
water supplies with a pressure of 280kPa (40 psig)
or greater.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
n Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type
of weather. Water freezing in the system will damage
it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
n Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature
of the water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system
must be between the minimum of 40°F and the
maximum of 100°F. See the Specification Guidelines.
n Extended non-use of the Reverse Osmosis system.
If the system has not been used for one week or
more, open the RO water faucet and allow the
system to drain. Close the RO water faucet and
allow the system to regenerate the water supply.
n Recommended installation is under the sink. However,
the unit can be installed in a remote location, up to
20 feet away from the sink. Additional installation
materials may be required. If Reverse Osmosis system
is connected to a refrigerator icemaker, a special
icemaker connection kit is required (RVKIT).
Do not use copper tubing for the connection between
the Reverse Osmosis system and the refrigerator.
WARNING:
Discard all unused parts and
packaging material after installation. Small parts
remaining after the installation could be a choke
hazard.
n Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis
system and after servicing inner parts, including
replacement of prefilter, postfilter and Reverse
Osmosis cartridge. It is important to have clean hands
while handling inner parts of the system. See the
Sanitization section.
n This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable
component critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the Reverse Osmosis component
should be with one of identical specifications, as
defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same
efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.
See Automatic Shutoff Valve section on page 13.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE STATE
AND LOCAL CODES.
WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk
of property damage or personal injury.
