WARNING

Refer to Reject to Drain, Maximum under RO

Production in the Performance Table (page 5) to determine the

maximum gallon per minute waste flow rate. Verify drain has ample

capacity for this waste flow, plus all other souces of waste flow

sharing this drain.

electrical connections

The system is pre-wired at the factory. Verify that a 115 VAC ground

fault protected circuit rated at 15 Amps minimum is located nearby.

Plug-in power cord when instructed to do so in the following section.

cartrIdge InStallatIon and actIvatIon

Remove the outer shrink-wrap and protective closure from the

pre-filter (optional), TO, RO cartridge and CC cartridge (optional).
If the optional Pre-filter has been supplied, go to step to 3. If not

supplied, go to step 4.
Locate the sump (clear bowl) for the pre-filter housing. Install

the pre-filter cartridge into the sump. Locate the O-ring in the

small parts pack. Lightly lubricate this O-ring with a food grade

lubricant and install it into the groove in the sump. Install the

sump with pre-filter and O-ring into the pre-filter head. Use the

sump wrench to tighten the sump securely.
Install the TO cartridge into the TO head, following the

instructions on the cartridge.
Slowly open the inlet supply valve. Position a bucket underneath

the RO cartridge head to collect water. Apply power to the

system by plugging the power cord into the receptacle. Within

moments, water should begin to spill out of the RO head and into

the bucket. Carbon fines and air will be flushed out of during

this time. Flush until water runs clear (3-5 minutes typically). If

the bucket requires emptying, un-plug the power cord from the

receptacle to stop the flow, then empty the bucket. Reposition

the bucket and repeat the flushing operation as required. Once

the TO cartridge has been flushed, un-plug the power cord from

the receptacle.
Install the RO cartridge into the RO head, following the

instructions on the cartridge.
If the optional CC cartridge has been supplied, go to step to 8. If

not supplied, go to step 9.
Remove the plug from the CC cartridge head. Install the CC

cartridge into the head, following the instructions on the

cartridge.
Disconnect the tubing connecting the storage tank to the system

and route to a drain temporarily.

WARNING

do not use this product water! It may contain a

preservative solution from the ro cartridge and should not be

consumed!
Apply power to the system by plugging the power cord into the

10.

receptacle. Within moments, water should begin to exit the

storage tank tubing. Allow the system to flush for at least 1 hour

or until 5 gallons of product water has been produced. Un-plug

the power cord. Re-connect the tubing to the storage tank.

dISInfectIon

When flushing is complete, the storage tank and associated piping

must be disinfected, and then completely flushed. The steps for this

are outlined below.

Locate the 3/8" OD tubing that connects to the storage tank.

Disconnect the end which connects to the elbow fitting at the

processor. Measure 1 ounce of 5.25% bleach for every 7.5 gallons

of storage tank capacity. Pour this volume of bleach into the tube

that leads to the storage tank. Re-connect this tube to the elbow

fitting. Apply power to the system by plugging the power cord

into the receptacle. The booster pump should begin to run and fill

the storage tank.

Once sufficient water has entered the storage tank (more

than 1/4 full), demand treated water from at least one piece of

equipment the MRS is supplying water to. Once all of the air has

been purged, and a solid flow of water is observed, stop the flow

at the connected equipment. Purge the air from all remaining

pieces of connected equipment by demanding water from each

one individually.
Allow the storage tank to fill until the booster pump turns off.

Allow the chlorinated water to remain in the storage tank and

distribution piping for 10 minutes.
Un-plug the power cord. Drain the storage tank by demanding

water downstream and allow the storage tank to drain. Once the

storage tank is empty, stop demanding water downstream.
Apply power to the system by plugging the power cord into the

receptacle. Once sufficient water has entered the storage tank

(more than 1/4 full), demand treated water from at least one piece

of equipment the MRS is supplying water to. After 5 minutes,

stop the flow at the connected equipment. Flush the lines to each

remaining piece of connected equipment by demanding water

from them for 2 minutes each.
Allow the storage tank to fill until the booster pumps turns off.

Un-plug the power cord. Drain the storage tank by demanding

water downstream and allow the storage tank to drain. Once the

storage tank is empty, stop demanding water downstream
Repeat steps 5-7 until no residual chlorine odor is detected from

the water exiting the storage tank drain valve or connected

equipment.

PlacIng the MrS Into ServIce

Once the cartridges have been activated, the storage tank &

distribution piping sanitized, the MRS can be placed into service.
During normal operation, the valves on the MRS should be in the

following positions:

System inlet and outlet valves – open

System by-pass valve – closed.

Once the system been started-up initially, it is a good idea to

measure the outlet water flow rate and quality to verify the system’s

performance. The initial values should be recorded for future

comparison to detect any changes in performance. A Performance

Log has been provided on Page 6 to record this information.

oPeratIon

During normal operation, a continuous supply of water must be

available to the system.
The system inlet and outlet valves must be open, the sample

outlet and flushing valves must be closed and the drain line must

be unrestricted.
