PLEASE NOTE: The 3:1 ratio explained on

Figure 13

the previous page can easily be achieved

by visually judging the rate of the BRINE /

Timing flow rates

PERMEATE flows. However if you want to

to set up the

achieve exacting ratios between brine and

E-Z Flush Flow

permeate water you can simply time how

Restrictor

long it takes to fill a certain volume such as a

measuring cup or the like (Fig 13). When do-

ing this "timed measurement" the permeate

water should take three times as long to fill

the same volume over that of the brine water

(3:1 Ratio). We do not recommend anything

over a 1:1 ratio as it is extremely important for the R.O. Membrane to have adequate BRINE flow to be

able to flush away the harmful particulates it is removing while filtering the water. A setting near to

or at 1:1 ratio is only recommended if you are in a desert environment and need to conserve as much

water as possible or if you are charged large sums of money per gallon from your water utility. A RATIO

BEYOND 1:1 IS VERY LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE R.O. MEMBRANE. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE MORE

BRINE WATER FLOW THEN PERMEATE WATER FLOW.

The permeate water coming directly out of the R.O. Membrane housing (via the auto shut-off valve)

should achieve an 85% or greater reduction in ppm (parts per million) from that of your unfiltered

cold tap water in your home that has not been filtered by this system. If a TDS Meter was ordered

with your system gather a few ounces of water in a small glass and test the ppm's - comparing the

ppm count of the permeate water coming directly out of your R.O. Membrane against that of your

home's unfiltered cold water. It may take up to 15-20 minutes for the RO Membrane to become fully

activated and flushed of its food grade preservative to achieve this minimum 85% ppm reduction

TIP

Example: Home's unfiltered tap water is 300ppm / R.O. Permeate water should be 45ppm or less.

You can find this value for your results by multiplying them by 0.15 (the 15% of particulates that are

left when 85% have been removed). If you do not see the minimum of 85% reduction in ppm's after

20 minutes of permeate water flow, it means your R.O. Membrane is not seated properly in the R.O.

Membrane housing. You will need to take the R.O. Membrane out and re-insert as firmly as possible,

reassemble and then re-test the ppm's as depicted above. If you do need to re-seat your R.O. Mem-

brane it is a very quick and easy procedure. Testing the ppm reduction rate of the permeate water

coming directly out of the RO Membrane housing is the most important ppm reduction test

you can perform and is a sure way to know if your system is performing as it should.

NOTE: You can also test the ppm of the permeate water after the D.I. Resin Canisters. The ppm

of the water coming directly out of the D.I. Resin Canisters should be even lower than that com-

ing out of the R.O. Membrane. The ppm should be at or near 0 ppm after the third D.I. Canister.

8.0 Installing the first D.I. Resin Canister

Push two canister clips (found in the Large Parts Bag) onto the R.O. Membrane housing with the wid-

est end of the clips down (Fig. 14). Attach one D.I. Canister to the canister clips by pushing the canister

down onto the clips. Ensure the blue end caps of the D.I. Resin Canister are screwed on tightly before

doing this. The arrow on the D.I. Canister depicts the direction of flow of water through the canister.

Screw in an elbow adaptor to both ends of the D.I. Canister (step 1, Fig. 15). Remember to use teflon

tape (4 to 7 wraps) on the threads of the adaptors throughout the installation as a preventative

measure against potential leaks.

Next, take the short blue hose connected to the "OUT" side of the 4 way Auto Shut-Off Valve (ASV) and

push it into the elbow adaptor on the left side of the D.I. Canister (step 2, Fig 15).

9.0 Installing the second and third D.I. Resin Canisters

Push two of the remaining eight Canister Clips onto the R.O. housing. Then push another D.I Canister

into its place. Now screw an elbow into each end of this DI Resin canister and then connect the two D.I

Canisters with a 4 inch piece of blue hose from the small parts bag. The schematic on page 1 or Fig. 17

shows how these canisters all connect. Remember to apply 4-7 wraps of Teflon tape.
