IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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 or after the
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may
be used on disinfected water that may contain
filterable cysts. This Reverse Osmosis unit contains
a replaceable membrane cartridge treatment
component critical for effective reduction of
Total Dissolved Solids. The water should be
tested periodically to verify that the system is
performing satisfactorily. 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 acceptable for
nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies
with a pressure of 280kPa (40 psig) or greater.
■ This system shall only be used for arsenic
reduction on chlorinated water supplies
containing detectable residual free chlorine
at the system inlet. Water systems using an in-line
chlorinator should provide a one-minute chlorine
contact time before the RO System.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Do Not open the water supply valve until the
pipes have been flushed.
■ Extended non-use of the Reverse Osmosis system.
If the system is not used for one week or more,
open the RO water faucet, allow the system to
drain. Close the RO water faucet and allow the
system to regenerate the water supply.
WARNING:
Discard all unused parts and
packaging material after installation. Small parts
remaining after the installation could be a choke
hazard.
■ 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 Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System section.
■ This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable
treatment component critical for effective
reduction of total dissolved solids. This product
water shall be tested periodically to verify that the
system is performing satisfactorily. See the About
the Water Test Kit section.
WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
property damage or personal injury.
