PRO-Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System Installation and Operating Instructions • 3
TOOLS REQUIRED
Tools Required
• Hand or electric drill
• Screwdriver - Phillips
• (2) Adjustable wrenches
• Drill bits: 1/8-inch, 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch
• Metal file
• Safety glasses
• Utility knife or tube cutter
• Needle-nose pliers
• Measuring tape
If sink does not have hole for separate faucet:
• Center punch
• 1-1/4 inch bi-metal or carbide-tipped hole saw
• Respirator
NOTE: All tools listed will not be necessary for installation.
Read installation procedures before starting to
determine required tools.
PRECAUTIONS
The PRO system contains a replaceable
membrane critical to the efficiency of the
system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis
membrane should be with one of identical
specifications, as defined by the manufacturer,
to assure the same efficiency and contaminant
reduction performance.
The PRO system contains a replaceable
membrane, critical for the effective reduction
of total dissolved solids. Product water should
be tested periodically to verify that the system
is working properly.
The PRO is acceptable for treatment of
influent concentrations of no more than 27
mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination
measured as N and is certified for nitrate/
nitrite reduction only for water supplies with
a pressure of 40 psig (280 kPa) or greater.
The PRO shall only be used for arsenic
reduction on chlorinated water supplies
containing detectable residual free chlorine at
the system inlet. Water systems using an in-
line chlorinator should provide a one-minute
chlorine contact time before the RO system.
The Reverse Osmosis (RO) system will not
protect against disease-causing bacteria or
remove naturally-occurring harmless bacteria.
The PRO system must be protected against
freezing which can cause the filter housing to
crack and leak water.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage,
we strongly recommend that the filter housings be
replaced every ten years. If your housing has been in
use for longer than this period, it should be replaced
immediately. Date the bottom of any new filter
housing to recommend the next replacement date.
Do not use Plumber’s Putty in the installation of
this product as it may cause cracking of the filter
housing threads.
NOTE:
• Your water must be within required limits for
satisfactory operation. If not, your membrane life may
be shortened and your warranty will be voided (see
Operating Specifications, page 1).
• Install on cold water line only.
• Make certain that installation complies with all state
and local laws and regulations.
• The reverse osmosis membrane and replacement
cartridges included with this system have limited
service lives. Changes in taste, odor, and color of the
filtered water indicate that the cartridge(s) and/or
membrane should be replaced (see Maintenance, page
10). On the monitored model (PRO) the green light
indicates optimum performance while the amber light
indicates that the membrane is in need of changing.
• During extended periods of non-use (such as during a
vacation), remove the membrane from the membrane
housing and place it in a sealed plastic bag. Store
membrane in refrigerator for future use. DO
NOT FREEZE.
• If system stands for more than 2–3 days without being
used, the storage tank should be emptied.
Membrane Precautions
Chlorine will destroy the Reverse Osmosis
membrane. If you use these RO systems with a
chlorinated or periodically-chlorinated water
supply, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to use a
carbon prefilter (included with the system). This
carbon prefilter should be changed at least every
3 months to avoid chlorine breakthrough. See
warranty for disclaimers and limitations that apply
to the RO membrane.
NOTE: To make sure no chlorine is present in the water that
reaches the membrane, use a test kit that tests
free-chlorine to check the reject water that flows
from the membrane to the drain. No chlorine should
be detected.
