The iSpring RO600 Series 600 GPD Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System is an under-sink water filtration unit designed to provide high-quality drinking water for residential use. This system uses a two-stage filtration process, starting with a composite filter and followed by a reverse osmosis membrane, to remove a wide range of contaminants from municipal tap water.
The primary function of the iSpring RO600 system is to purify tap water through a multi-stage filtration process. The first stage, the composite filter, is responsible for removing unpleasant chlorine, taste, odor, cloudiness, and coloring from the water. It also targets dirt, sand, silt, rust, scale particles, THMs, and pesticides. Following this, the water passes through the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, which is the core of the purification process. This membrane is designed to remove up to 98% of lead, along with chlorine, fluoride, arsenic, hormones, asbestos, calcium, sodium, and other impurities, utilizing a very fine 0.0001 micron membrane. The system is designed to deliver purified water through a dedicated RO drinking faucet.
The system incorporates several automated functions to ensure optimal performance and user convenience. Upon initial power-on or after a power cycle, the system performs a self-inspection and auto-rinsing process. During the first use, it auto-rinses for 5 minutes, followed by a recommended 30-minute user-initiated rinse to flush out preservatives from the RO membrane. If the faucet is turned off during this initial 30-minute rinse, the system will resume rinsing when the faucet is turned on again until the full duration is met.
When the system is in normal operation, the "working" light illuminates, indicating that water is being filtered and dispensed. If the system is not used for 24 hours, it automatically performs a 20-second self-cleaning rinse to maintain filter integrity and prevent microbiological growth. This auto-rinsing process also occurs after filter replacement, with a 5-minute auto-rinse for the composite filter and a 30-minute user-initiated rinse for the RO membrane filter.
The iSpring RO600 is designed for straightforward installation and user-friendly operation. It is intended for under-sink placement on a flat surface and should only be installed indoors with a cold-water supply. The system comes with filters pre-installed, simplifying the initial setup.
Connecting the system involves installing a feed water adapter to the cold-water supply valve, installing the dedicated RO drinking faucet on the sink or countertop, and connecting the drain saddle to the drainpipe. The tubing connections are designed for quick-fitting, push-in installation, secured with C-clips to prevent leaks. Clear instructions are provided for drilling a 1-inch hole for the faucet, if necessary, with recommendations for tools and techniques to ensure a proper installation.
Once installed and connected to the power supply, the system is ready for its initial flush. Users are instructed to turn on the feed water adapter and the faucet, allowing water to run for at least 30 minutes to thoroughly flush the system. This flushing is crucial to remove any preservatives from the RO membrane and should be repeated after every filter change.
The system features a display and operating area with three indicator lights: "Working," "Filter Service Life," and "Power." The "Working" light indicates when the system is actively filtering and dispensing water. The "Power" light confirms that the system is powered on. The "Filter Service Life" light provides visual cues about the remaining life of the filters, changing from blue (normal) to purple (warning) and then to red (alarming) as the filter capacity diminishes or the recommended replacement cycle approaches. This indicator is controlled by both a timer and a flow monitor, ensuring accurate tracking of filter usage.
Maintenance of the iSpring RO600 system primarily revolves around timely filter replacement and occasional checks for leaks. The system's easy-change design allows users to replace filters without needing to shut off the main water supply, making the process convenient. Filters are installed by aligning handles with an "unlocked" sign, swirling clockwise to secure them, and counterclockwise to remove them.
The "Filter Service Life" indicator is a key maintenance feature, prompting users when it's time to replace filters. When the light turns red, it signifies that the filter has reached the end of its recommended service life. To reset the filter service life indicator after replacing a filter, users simply press and hold the corresponding "Filter Service Life" button for 5 seconds until the light turns blue and a buzzer sounds, confirming a successful reset. It's important to note that only one filter can be reset at a time.
Routine maintenance also includes checking external fittings and connections regularly to ensure they are secure and operating properly, helping to prevent leaks. In case of a leak, users are advised to immediately shut off the inline water supply, unplug the system, and contact customer service.
For periods of non-use, specific guidelines are provided to protect the system. If the system will not be used for one week or longer, it is recommended to remove the filter, seal it with plastic wrap, and store it in the fridge to prevent microbiological growth. When restarting the system after such a period, a 10-minute flush or filter change is advised. For extended discontinuation of use, disconnecting the water supply, draining the system, and disconnecting power are recommended.
The manual emphasizes the importance of using only authorized iSpring parts and filters, as using unauthorized components will void the product warranty. It also cautions against unauthorized modification or disassembly of the unit. Cleaning the product should only be done with water, avoiding corrosive cleaning products or materials that could damage the system.
