Aboutthe reverseosmosissystem.

How the Reverse Osmosis System Works

Reverse Osmosis reduces Total DissoNed Solids (TDS) and organic matter fiom wamr by diffi_sing it through a special
membrane. The membrane sepmates minerals and impmities fiom the water and they are flushed to the drain. For the

reduction of the claims specified, see Perfbmmnce Dam Sheet. High qualitT product water goes directly to the drinking
water faucet or to the storage rank. The sysmm makes a good supply of drinking wamr each day. How much it makes

depends on the feed wamr supply pressure, temperature and quality.

The prefilter and posffilter are replaceable cartridges. The carbon prefilter reduces chlorine while also filtering sediments.
The posffilter reduces any other undesirable tastes and odors before you use the _ater

These systems include an elecnonic fimcet assembly with a prefilter and poslfilter change remindel; Rexerse Osmosis
membrane change reminder and a stares okay reminder

The prefilter and poslfilter change reminder will flash amber aRer six months haxe passed or 900 gallons haxe been used.

When this occurs, it is time to replace these cartridges and sanitize the system.

The membrane change reminder flashes amber xd-len the TDS monitor in the system has measured the amount of impurities
remoxed is lessthan 75%. When this occm_, it is time to replace this Rexerse Osmosis membrane cartridge and sanitize the system.

Finally, a green flashing ligt_t _ill indicate the system is flmctioning properly.

Description of theReverse Osmosis System

_Prefi/ter_Water from the cold supply pipe is directed to

the prefilter cartridge. The prefilter is a replaceahle sediment
cartridge containing activated carbon. The prefilter reduces

chlorine in the feed water because CHLORINEDESTROYSTHE

REVERSEOSMOSISMEMBRANE.Filtered, cleau,chlorine-reduced

water flowsfi'om the prefilter to the ReverseOsmosiscartridge.

_'_Reverse OsmosisCartridge--_he middle cartridge includes a

tightb,' wound, special membrane. Water is forced through the

cartridge _d_ere the membrane reduces the dissolved solids m_d
orgmfic matten For the reduction of the claims specified, see

Performance Dam Sheet. High quality product water exits the
Reverse Osmosis cartridge and goes m the storage tank. Reject

wam_;,dth the dissoked solids and organic matte_; leaves the
cartridge and is discharged to the drain through 1/4" robing.

_]Postfilter--Atker leaving the storage area, but before going

to the system faucet, product water goes to the postfilter
cartridge. The postfilmr is also a replaceable sediment carnidge

that contains activated carbon. Any remaining tasms, odors or
sediments are reduced fiom product wamr by the postfilmL

Clean, high qualitT drinking wamr flows through the robing
and m the sysmm faucet.

ErJStorage Tank--The storage area holds up to 2-1l/2 gallons

of product wateL A diaphragm1 inside file tank keeps water
pressurized, when the rank is fifll,for fast flow m file fimcet

when drinking water is needed.

_e.com

_'_ghock Va/vO--The check valve ptevents a backward flow of product water fiom the storage tank. A backward flow could

cause the Reverse Osmosis meInblane to rupture.

_]Automatic ShutoffAssembly--To conserve water, the drinking water s_stem has an automatic shutoff When the storage rank

has filled to capaci_ and the drinking water f:,mcetis closed, presstHe closes the shutoff Water flow to the ReveFseOsmosis
housing is shut offuntil drinking water is used again, and p_essme drops in the Reverse Osmosis s_stem.

F_F/ow Control--The flow cont_ol regulates the flow of water th_ough the Revezse Osmosis cartti(tge at the requiled rate to

p,oduce high quality water The control is located in the 1/4" drain line exiting off the manifold.

FaucetandE/ectronics--Whecountertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened. It h_ksa hand-operated

leve_;with variable flow adjustment. You can keep the faucet open b}_removing },,ourhand flom the level once water is
flowing. To comply with plumbing codes, an air gap is built into the faucet drain water connection.

The electronic faucet provides a six monfll timer and flow monitor m remind you when it is time to replace your
prefilmr and postlqlm_. Replace these when the amber filter light flashes. The faucet also provides an amber RO light

indicating when the Reverse Osmosis caruidge is no longer filmring out at least 75% of the TDS. Replace this cartridge

when this amber light flashes. The green flashing light will indicam the system is flmcfioning properly.

FLOW RESTRICTOR
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (cont.)

.

Remove drain line tubing by pushing up
on the drain line collet with one hand (1)

and removing the drain line with the
other hand (2).

. Once the drain line has been removed

from the system base, grasp the end of
the flow restrictor and pull it straight out

from the tube*. If the restrictor is difficult
to remove by hand, a pair of pliers may

be used to grip the end of the restrictor
to aid in removal from the tubing.

*In some instances, the restrictor may slide out of the

drain tubing as it is removed from the drain line port.
If, after removing the drain line as described in step 1,
the restrictor is no longer in the end of the tubing,
check the drain line port. Remove the restrictor from
the port and proceed to step 3.

3. Take new restrictor and slide it back into the
drain tubing. Insert the restrictor by hand

only. Do not use pliers to insert. Make sure
to insert restrictor all the way into the
tubing. Failure to do so could result in
improper operation of the RO system.

FLOW RESTRICTOR
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

Each time the Reverse Osmosis cartridge is

changed, you will need to replace the flow

restrictor in the drain line as well.
Be sure to wash your hands before handling

inner parts of the system.

12

.

Reinsert drain line tubing in system base.
Tug lightly on the tubing to ensure that
the collet is engaged and has a proper

FAUCET ASSEMBLY

FAUCET MOUNTING INSTALLATION

Be sure there is room underneath the sink to
make the needed connections. Select one of

the following locations to install the faucet:

• In an existing sink spray attachment or soap
dispenser hole.

• In a hole to be drilled in the sink top.

• In a hole to be drilled in the countertop,
next to the sink.

NOTE: Be sure the faucet base will fit flat
against the surface at the selected location

so the gasket will seal.

1. If drilling is needed, make a 1-1/4" dia.
hole. Be sure to use the proper procedure

for drilling porcelain or stainless steel.

Special drill bits may be needed. Consult
a qualified plumber for proper procedure.

2. Remove the faucet, thin o-ring (D), faucet
base (E), bottom base gasket (F), lock

washer (G), hex nut (H) and mounting

bracket (I) from the packaging.

3. Feed the 3/8" blue banded, 1/4" black tube
(attached to the Reverse Osmosis System)

and the 3/8" black tube (included in
separate packaging) up through the

mounting hole in the sink or countertop.

This step may require two people to
assemble. See page 14 for Optional

One Person Faucet Tubing Installation.

4. Feed the two black tubes up through the

gasket (F), faucet base (E) and O-ring (D).

5. Push the 1/4" black and 3/8" black tubing
onto their respective fittings on the body (B).

NOTE: To ease insertion, submerge tubing ends
into hot water for a few minutes to soften.

6. Seat the base (E) and body (B) together.

Make sure the O-ring and gasket are

in place when the base meets the body.
The faucet handle will be at the 3 o'clock

position with respect to the base.

7. Slide the lock washer onto the threaded
stem of the body (B), then thread the hex

nut (H) onto the stem. Screw about halfway up.

NOTE: If installing faucet on a stainless steel
sink, slide on installation spacer (M) before the

lock washer.

8. Screw the blue tipped tubing adapter (K)
onto the threaded stem of the body (B).

9. Push the blue banded tubing into the
adapter. It should go in about 3/4". Pull on
it to make sure it is installed correctly.

10. Feed the tubing, stem and power cord
back down through the 1-1/4" hole.

11. Lower the faucet assembly into place
in the mounting hole and orient to final
position. Place the mounting bracket (I)

above the lock washer (G) around the
faucet stem. While holding the mounting

bracket in place, securely tighten the
hex nut. This step may require two people.

FAUCET TUBING INSTALLATION

,

From under the sink, gather the 1/4" drain
line (black), 3/8" drain line (black) and 3/8"

outlet tube (blue banded) in one hand with
the drain tubes the same length and the

outlet tube offset approximately 6 inches.

2. Wrap a rubber band around all 3 tubes.

,

Insert a typical No. 2 pencil through the
rubber band location.

,

Rotate the pencil down until it is in line

with the tubing and push up through the

mounting hole. Release the grip on the
pencil and the tubes will remain in
position for easier faucet connection.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

, Use a small flat blade screwdriver or coin

to remove the battery tray (A) at the side
of the faucet base.

2. Install one CR2032, 3 volt battery (B)
positive "+" side down into the battery
tray (A).

3. Slide tray into faucet base (C) until the
battery tray (A) edge is flush with the side

of the base.

4. Each light will illuminate in sequence
twice. At the end, the OK (green) light or
filter (yellow) light may stay on for a few
extra seconds. If you want to reinitiate the
start-up sequence, remove the battery for
90 seconds; the electronics need to fully
discharge. Then put the battery back in.

5. The OK (green) light will normally flash
one time per second when dispensing
water. The filter or RO (amber) lights will
flash one time per second when
dispensing water if the system needs
service. If the system needs service, they
will also flash randomly when the system

is not in use.
For lights to change between OK and RO,

the system must detect a change in the
filtering process for 25 consecutive seconds.
For example, if the system was not filtering
correctly, the RO light would be flashing.

When the problem is corrected and the

system is filtering correctly, the electronics
will wait for 25 seconds to confirm the

changes before changing to an OK light.

clog in the Reverse Osmosis drain line. Route the
drain line from the air gap to the drain line
adapter, ensuring that there are no dips, loops or
low spots in the line. The drain line adapter
should be aligned vertically so that the hose
connection points upward (the hose connection
should never be allowed to drop below 45° from
this vertical position). This installation MAY result
in a slight drain noise in the sink drain when the
Reverse Osmosis system is regenerating. If this
happens, simply place the sink drain stoppers
in the strainer to suppress it.
