Regular Use
To get clean water just open the ltered water faucet. The pump will turn on automatically and will
produce the ltered water ow in real time until you shut o the faucet. At the end of each water
production cycle the membrane will be ushed, and then the system will shut o automatically.
Please note that R.O. membrane needs up to 50 hours of active operation before reaching
peak performance in terms of water ow, recovery and rejection rates.
For your safety and peace of mind please unplug the pump box unit from the electrical out-
let and shut o the inlet valve before servicing your R.O. system such as changing lters or
membrane, or during vacations.
Tips:
■
You may install the optional union tee tting to the tubing line prior to the ltered water
faucet to get another line of clean water going to the other point-of-use (such as a sink in
a bathroom or ice maker in your fridge).
■
Operating the system using soened feed water greatly reduces the chances of membrane
failure and prolongs lters and membrane service life.
Changing Filters and Membrane
This R.O. system contains the replaceable components critical to the eciency of the system.
Replacement of a component should be with one of identical specications, as dened by the
manufacturer, to assure the same eciency and contaminant reduction performance.
To reduce the risk of water leakage or ooding, and to ensure optimal R.O. system performance:
■
Change the disposable pre-lters every 6 months or sooner if you observe a noticeable
reduction in water ow rate.
■
Change the disposable post-lter every 12 months or sooner if you observe a noticeable
reduction in water ow rate.
■
Change the disposable R.O. membrane every 36 months or sooner if you observe a notice-
able reduction in water ow rate.
Failure to replace the disposable lters & membrane at recommended intervals may lead to re-
duced system performance and cracks in the lter housings, causing water leakage or ooding.
Please note the capacity of the lters and membrane is limited. Their service life depends on
the degree of contamination of the water supply and system usage. All terms apply to normal
household use. Actual performance may vary. You may need to change lters or the mem-
brane sooner than indicated if you notice chlorine or other tastes or smells, etc. Manufacturer
recommends a TDS test every six months.
Replacement Filters:
■
K871 (sediment pre-lter)
■
K870 (activated carbon pre-lter)
■
K858 or K856 (high-production R.O.
membrane)
■
K880 (activated carbon post-lter and
conditioner)
Optional post-lters which can also be used
instead of K880:
■
K875 (granular activated carbon post-lter)
■
K873 (granular activated carbon with
schungite natural mineral post-lter)
■
K870 carbon block pre-lter may also be
used as a post-lter.
To prevent leakage or cracks and ensure the safety of operation and top performance do not
disassemble the lters or try to regenerate them.
