Reverse Osmosis User Guide
The Basic Reverse Osmosis System
Your Reverse Osmosis System is a water treatment unit. It uses water pressure to reverse
a natural physical process called osmosis. Water, under pressure, is forced through a semi-
permeable membrane to filter out minerals and impurities. Treated drinking water goes to the
faucet. Minerals and impurities are sent to the drain with RO waste water.
The system includes replaceable filters and membrane elements. The prefilter reduces sand, silt,
dirt, rust particles, other sediments, and chlorine from the water supply before they enter the RO
membrane elements. The post filter reduces any tastes and/or odours that may remain in the
water after passing through the RO membrane elements.
Before Installing the RO System
• Best performance of the system will be achieved when the incoming water has been
treated (softened).
• The water coming into the system must be within certain limit for sediments, pressure,
etc. Refer to the specifications to determine if your installation is within the limits.
• A water quality analysis can be performed to determine if incoming water requires
any treatment. Contact your dealer/installer.
•
The filters and membrane elements in the RO system need to be replaced on a
regular basis. Follow the instructions for replacement that are in this manual.
Note
: For optimal system performance, use the system for at least 2 minutes continuously
each day.
Warning
: The RO system is designed to work without the aid of a pressurized storage tank.
Installation of a pressurized storage tank will negatively affect system performance.
Installation Note:
A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life and may
eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen circumstances.
To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage
and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate
drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any
leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be turned off if no
one is home/present.
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE.
FAULTY OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED
WARRANTY COVERAGE.
