CARE AND SAFEGUARDS

Care

To clean the system manifold and tank, wipe exterior with a damp cloth. Do not

use any strong or abrasive cleaning agent or solvent cleaner.

NOTICE

Safeguards

• If you experience a tubing connection leak, shut off cold water, disconnect

and re-set the tube.

• Do not install this system where the line pressure may exceed 100 psi. The

operating pressure range for this system is between 40-100 psi.

• Install on COLD water lines only (40°F-90°F).

• It is recommended that your system be installed inside and out of direct

sunlight. The system must be protected from both direct sunlight and

freezing temperatures.

• System and installation shall comply with applicable state and local laws.

• Do not operate without the filters installed.

• Do not use with water this is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown water

quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

• Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that

may contain filterable cysts.

• This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component

that is critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids. It is

recommended to periodically test this reverse osmosis system to verify it is

performing properly.

• 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 ensure the same efficiency and contaminant

reduction performance.

Do not use the system on microbiologically

unsafe water, or water of unknown quality

without adequate disinfection before or after

the system. This system is certified for cyst

reduction and may be used on disinfected

water that may contain filterable cysts.

Installations in The Commonwealth of

Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of

Massachusetts requires installation be

performed by a licensed plumber and

does not permit the use of saddle

valves. Plumbing code 248—CMR of the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts must

be followed in these cases.

Specifications

Efficiency rating is the percentage of the

influent water to the system that is available

to the user as reverse osmosis treated water.

This measurement is taken under operation

conditions that approximate typical daily

usage. The system's efficiency rating was

verified by testing in accordance with Section

6.8 found in NSF/ANSI 58.

Recovery rating is the percentage of the

influent water to the membrane portion of

the system that is available to the user as

reverse osmosis treated water when the

system is operated without a water tank or

when the water tank is bypassed.The system's

recovery rating was verified by testing in

accordance with Section 6.8 found in NSF/

ANSI 58.

Because the performance of a reverse

osmosis membrane is highly dependent upon

pressure, temperature, and Total Dissolved

Solids (TDS), the following should be used for

comparison only.

Lower temperatures are directly proportional

to slower flow rate. The reverse osmosis

system should also not be installed in a

location susceptible to freezing. Incoming

water temperature should not exceed 90°F

(32°C). The more TDS in the supply water,

the more filter time required. Incoming TDS

should not exceed 1000 ppm. Higher water

pressure enables a higher flow rate. Pressure

must be above 40 psi for proper system

operation. You may consider installing a

booster pump if your pressure is below 40 psi.

Flow rate and output are determined

by the following factors:

1. Incoming water temperature

2. Total dissolved solids (TDS) present

in supply water

3. Incoming water pressure

4. Tank size and amount of water in the tank
