2. Water leaves prefilter and proceeds to the Reverse Osmosis Cartridge. See Fig. 25.
3. Water enters the Reverse Osmosis membrane. Dissolved solids are reduced. See Fig. 25.
4. Processed water leaves the Reverse Osmosis Membrane and flows to the storage tank. See Fig. 25.
5. Waste water with dissolved solids leave the Reverse Osmosis membrane and flows to the drain. See Fig. 25.
6. Faucet is activated. See Fig. 25.
