INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Reo-Pure RO Systems will operate most efficiently on filtered
water with a pH of less than 6.5, an SDI of 5 or less, and
hardness of less than 10 GPG. If the system is operated with
levels higher than these, other forms of pretreatment may be
necessary.
Feed water must not contain free chlorine, formalin,
quaternary
germicides,
cationic
surfactant,
detergents
containing non-ionic surfactant, such as ALL or Triton, or
membrane element cleaners other than those approved for use.
UNPACK YOUR REO-PURE SYSTEM
Reo-Pure Systems are carefully inspected, tested, and
packaged. They are shipped in proper working order and in
excellent condition. Remove the system from the shipping
carton/container and inspect it for signs of concealed damage,
which may have occurred during shipping. If damage has
occurred, immediately contact the delivering carrier and file a
claim for damages.
LOCATE DESIRABLE INSTALLATION SITE
Determine a desirable location for your Reo-Pure system. It
should be positioned on a hard level surface capable of
supporting the entire weight of the system. See SYSTEM
SPECIFICATIONS for approximate weight and dimensions.
FEED WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
A cold water supply source must be located within close
proximity to the system. This will be the inlet feed water
supply. Feed water pressure must be a minimum of 35 PSI.
The manual feed water shut-off valve was shipped loose with
the system. Wrap the male end of the valve with Teflon tape
and screw it into the sediment pre-filter marked
INLET.
Connect the feed water supply source to the 3/8" NPTF shut-
off valve. We recommend using 3/8" pipe, 1/2" OD tubing, or
3/8" hose.
PRODUCT WATER CONNECTION
During the initial start-up procedure, after a membrane
element replacement, or after sanitization of the system, you
will want to divert the product water line to your wastewater
drain. This can be done by either installing a 3-way valve in
the line or by disconnecting the tubing to your storage tank. It
is always important to divert the product water to drain for 30
to 60 minutes of operation, because membrane elements are
treated with preservative solution that should be rinsed free.

CAUTION
– Do not connect a hot water line
to the Reo-Pure system. Feed water must be a
cold water supply.
IMPORTANT
–
Installation must comply with state and
local plumbing, electrical, and sanitation codes.
IMPORTANT
–
Do not use this system to make 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.
