B. Changing Modules
THIS R.O. SYSTEM CONTAINS MODULES
WHICH MUST BE REPLACED AT REGULAR
INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN PROPER
PERFORMANCE. USE ONLY FACTORY
APPROVED MODULES.
All individuals should take adequate precautions
when changing the fi lters, including wearing
protective gloves, to avoid direct contact with the
exhausted fi lters.
The recommended interval for changing the
modules (not the R.O. Membrane) is every
six (6) months. Typical T.F.C. Membrane life
expectancy is three years. Local con di tions may
dictate more frequent changes.
NOTE:
If the R.O. Membrane is to be replaced,
see Sec. IV, F.1–2, page 13, for the proper
pro ce dure.
Use a drip pan to catch any water that may spill
when the Filter Modules are removed. Refer to
Fig. 1 page 3 for component location.
1. Close the Feed Water Saddle Valve by
turning fully clockwise and open the
Dispensing Faucet by lifting the handle. Allow
the Holding Tank to empty.
2. Loosen and remove the Sediment/Carbon
Module and the Activated Carbon Module.
Discard the modules.
3. To sanitize the system and replace the
modules:
•Unwrap the new Sediment/Carbon Module.
•Using an eyedropper put 5 ml (this is
approximately 1 tsp.) of a good quality
unscented 5¼% liquid household chlorine
bleach down the center tube of the Module.
•Check the Module O-ring for proper position
in its groove, engage and tighten the
Module hand tight only.
•Unwrap the new Activated Carbon Module.
•Check the Module O-ring for proper position
in its groove, engage and tighten the
Module hand tight only.
•Close the Holding Tank Valve.
•Disconnect the yellow product water tubing
that runs from the Holding Tank to the Tee
(see Fig. 1, page 5). Put 50 drops of bleach
(this is ½ tsp. or 3 ml) into the tubing and
reconnect it to the Tee.
NOTE:
Now is the convenient time to
change the In–Line Activated Carbon Post
Filter, see Sec. V, C.1–6.
•Slowly open the Feed Water Saddle Valve.
When water begins dripping out of the
Dispensing Faucet, in the following order,
close the Faucet and then open the Holding
Tank Valve.
•Do not open the Faucet for at least 8 hours.
•Discard the fi rst three full tanks of water
pro duced, they will contain chlorine.
C. Changing the In–Line Activated Carbon Post
Filter
1. Close the Feed Water Saddle Valve by
turning fully clockwise.
2. Close the Holding Tank Valve and then
open the Dispensing Faucet to release the
pressure.
3. Remove the In–Line Activated Carbon Post
Filter. Disconnect the used Post Filter by
pressing in the connector’s collar and at the
same time pulling the tube out of the fi tting.
Unscrew the fi ttings on the In–Line, re–Tefl on
tape them and install them on the new Post
Filter. Do not over tighten the fi ttings.
4. Firmly reconnect the polytubes to the new
Post Filter. (Refer to Fig. 5, page 15.)
5. Slowly open the Feed Water Saddle Valve.
6. When water begins dripping out of the
Faucet, in the following order, close the
Faucet and open the Holding Tank Valve.
When the Faucet is fi rst opened, expect air
and carbon fi nes (very fi ne black powder),
from the new Post Filter to be rinsed out. This
is normal for the fi rst tank of water.
SECTION VI. TECHNICAL DATA
A. Water Quality
Water quality is normally measured with a
special meter that measures the water’s ability
to conduct electricity. The more dissolved solids
in the water, the higher the conductivity. The
results are usu al ly reported in
Parts per Mil lion
(ppm) or
Milligrams per Liter
(mg/l) of
Total
Dissolved Solids
(TDS). (Al though technically
