Maintenance

FLOW CONTROL

The flow control is vital for proper operation of the
Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge. See Figure 26. The
flow control, located in the red tube at the system hous
ing, keeps water flowing through the membrane at the
required rate. This is to ensure the system produces the
best quality product water.

Periodically check the flow control assembly to be sure
the small hole through it is clean and unrestricted.

If the flow control assembly requires service, review the
exploded view in Figure 26. Assemble and disassemble
as shown.

BATTERY

To change battery, complete the following steps.

1. Loosen the screw on the right side of the faucet base.

See Figure 29.

2. Press the battery housing upwards from the front

faucet base until it releases from the faucet base. See
Figure 29.

3. Replace the battery (Maxell CR 2032 or equivalent).

Place battery into the holder with the positive (+) side
facing the back of the holder.

4. When the battery is first replaced it will flash six times

and turn off. This indicates the battery is fully
charged. After the six flashes the timer enters the 6
month time cycle. If it repeatedly flashes just two
times, it is not a fully charged battery.

5. Re-install the battery housing and firmly tighten the

mounting screw. See Figure 29.
