System Hook-Up
1. Attach the garden hose adapter to your cold water source. Never run hot
water (greater than 100° F (38° C)) through the system.
2. Place the yellow concentrate tubing and the blue purified water tubing into
a drain. Do not restrict flow from these lines.
3. Slowly open the cold water supply valve and allow the housings to fill. You
may use pressure up to 80 psi (5.5 bar).
Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free before
leaving the system unattended.
Note: It is recommended that at least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified water be
discarded before collecting purified water for use. If the unit is not used for sev-
eral days, run the system for at least 15 minutes before collecting any water.
Initally, air trapped in the DI cartridges is a normal condition and will not affect
the operation of the DI cartridges.
4. Finish the installation by connecting the yellow line to a drain. The blue line
can be placed into a RubberMaid™ trash can or you can set it up for
automatic shut-off using a Liquid Level Controller (LLC-S-115 or LLC-M-115)
or the Auto Shut-Off Kit (ASOFK).
SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
If you are setting up your system for the first time or replacing the RO
membrane, please see the “Checking the Concentrate to Purified Water
Ratio” section on page 11-12 .

RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT
1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system
where the membrane housing is easily accessible.
2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push-fitting
by depressing the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling
the tubing from the push-fitting (Page 13).
3. Lift the membrane housing from the retention clips.
4. Unscrew the membrane housing lid. This may require two people.
5. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the membrane stem and pull the
membrane from the housing (Fig. H).
6. Remove the black housing O-ring (Fig. H). Wash the empty housing
with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with hot, clean water.
7. Insert new membrane into the housing, with the double
O-ring end first (Fig. I). The tube must fit into the recess at the
bottom of the membrane housing. When the membrane is aligned
with the hole, firmly push the membrane into the hole until it
bottoms
out.
8. Place the black housing O-ring on the housing rim and carefully
screw the lid back on to the base.
9. Reconnect the black tubing to the membrane feed push-fitting.
Note: If you have a dual-membrane system, perform steps 2 thru 9 on
the second membrane now.
10. Disconnect the yellow concentrate tubing (Fig. B) from the
membrane housing and remove the flow restrictor (Fig. C) from the
yellow tubing (Refer to the procedure on page 13-14).
