Safety Guides
Read and follow all steps and guides carefully before installing and using your reverse osmosis
system. Do not use this product to make safe drinking water from non-potable water sources.
Do not use the system on microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable components (membrane elements). These
components are critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids and specific
contaminants that are listed in the Product Data Sheet.
The Reverse Osmosis System does not have a monitoring device for contaminants. To verify
that the system is performing satisfactorily the product water should be tested periodically by
the system’s installing dealer or a certified laboratory, every six months. The laboratory should
be certified for testing the specific contaminants of concern. For a listing of certified laboratories,
contact local regulatory agencies.
Consult your local public works department for plumbing and sanitation codes. Follow your local
codes if they differ from this manual.
The reverse osmosis system works on water pressures of 275 kPa minimum to 520 kPa
maximum. Water pressure can be reduced by installing a pressure reducing valve in the water
supply pipe to the RO system. A booster pump should be used for low pressure applications.
Do not install the reverse osmosis system in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of
the water supply to the reverse osmosis system must be between 4°C (40°F) and 38°C (100°F).
Do not install on hot water lines. Protect from freezing.
The reverse osmosis membranes contain a food grade preservative for storage and shipment.
All new membranes require a minimum 2 hour rinse to properly rinse out the preservative.
The preservative is not harmful but makes the product water taste objectionable. Rinsing the
membrane also acts a performance conditioner. All new membranes will reach their stable
maximum performance after 8 hours of rinsing.
