Durability, Reliability, Eciency, Purity, and Conservation form the foundation on which we design
and build all of our products. Consistent and superior quality sets us apart from other manufacturers
and increases our value to you - our customer. Whether you are a hydroponics hobbyist, serious
enthusiast, or large-scale gardener, GrowoniX is committed to bringing you the best solution for
water purication systems.
WHAT IS REVERSE OSMOSIS?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a ltration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions
from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane.
This ltering process ensures that the solute (waste water) is contained within the pressurized
chamber while the pure solvent (RO water) is allowed to pass freely through the membrane.
TUNED FOR GROWING - IN TUNE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS
Traditional RO systems have waste ratios of approximately 4:1, which means there are 4 gallons
of waste water produced for every 1 gallon of puried water. GrowoniX line of water lters achieve
waste ratios of 2:1 with the EX100 through GX400 and an astounding 1:1 ratio with the GX600 and
GX1000.
GrowoniX has created a complete product line that will address the needs of hydroponic operations
of all sizes. Our lters will signicantly reduce your water use while dramatically increasing your yields.

PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use unit with inlet water pressure exceeding 80 psi. If inlet water pressure is too high,
install water pressure regulator before the unit. Regulators and pressure limiters are available at
www.Growonix.com or your local plumbing supply.
• Keep unit away from direct light.
Direct light can cause algae and other biologicals to grow inside of the lter housings.
• Do not install unit near electrical outlets or electrical devices.
• Do not install in places where a leak can cause damage.
• GrowoniX EX Series RO water lters are rated using supply water that is 77°F, 475ppm, at 70psi.
Slower performance may be noted in areas with colder temperatures, higher water salinity, or
lower inlet water pressure.
• A minimum of 40psi is recommended to operate GrowoniX water lters. If your inlet water
pressure is too low, booster pumps can be used to increase pressure.
Pumps are available at www.Growonix.com.
• Do not use a ow restrictor other than the one included with your unit.
• Flow restrictors help tune the unit for proper waste ratio.
• Using bigger ow restrictors, or using the unit in areas with exceptionally dirty water,

INFORMATION ON QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS
O-RING
COLLET
TUBING
GROWONIX WATER FILTERS USE QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS
THAT ALLOW FOR EASY MAINTENANCE.
MAKE A CLEAN TUBE CUT
Cut the tube squarely and if using plastic tubing, ensure that the cut has not made the tube out of round.
Also ensure that the tube has a smooth outside diameter without any burrs or score marks
prior to inserting it into the tting
INSERT TUBE INTO FITTING
Push the tubing through the collet and dual o-rings until it bottoms out against the tube stop.
The collet holds the tube in place and the dual o-rings provide a leak resistant seal.
.
TEST AND INSPECT
Push and pull the tubing toward and away from the tting to ensure that it has been installed properly.
Test and inspect the installation for any leaks.
TUBE REMOVAL
Relieve pressure from the tubing and tting. Push uniformly around the collet ange against the
tting body while pulling the tubing away from the tting to release it.
• The EX100, EX200, & EX400 water lters are designed to be used with
between 40-80 psi of incoming water pressure.
• High Flow Membranes can work with as low as 20 psi of incoming water pressure.
• Do not exceed 80 psi of incoming water pressure. If incoming water pressure is too high,
install pressure regulator before unit. Pressure regulators are available at www.GrowoniX.com
• Always turn incoming water pressure on slowly, allowing all air to be discharged
before full water pressure is restored.
1
Connect 3/8” white supply tubing to
the inlet tting, making sure inlet seats
all the way in quick-connect tting.
This is the supply water line.
3
2
Connect 1/4” white RO tubing to the
auto shut-o valve, making sure RO
tubing seats all the way in quickconnect tting.
This is the ltered RO water out line.
4
Connect the 1/4” black drain tubing
to the ow restrictor.
Mount drain clamp to available drain
pipe. Connect other end of drain tubing
to included drain clamp.
11
FLUSHING THE EX100 KDF85 CARBON FILTER
Growonix water lters can be upgraded with a KDF85 Catalytic Carbon Pre-Filter. The "KDF"
carbon lter is a superior blend of highly reactive catalytic carbon and KDF85 process media used to
remove/reduce iron, hydrogen sulde, chlorine, chloramine, bacteria, scale, and algae.
The catalytic carbon in these lters is in a loose form, and thus will discharge a small amount of
carbon dust upon initial startup. It is recommended to unhook the membrane input side and ush
ten gallons of water through the carbon lter before re-connecting to the RO membrane. This will
ensure no dust gets into the membrane causing premature fouling.
12
Make sure incoming feed water is
shut o, ensuring the RO lter is
depressurized.
Disconnect the 1/4" white tubing that
feeds the membrane input from the
carbon lter.
3
Reconnect tubing to membrane input
and resume normal lter operation.
Hold tubing over sink or bucket.
Slowly turn on incoming water pressure,
allowing 5 gallons of water to ush
through the carbon lter.
Once ushed, turn o incoming feed water.
12
FLUSHING THE EX400/400-T KDF85 CARBON FILTER
THE EX400 AND EX400-TALL HAVE TWO RO MEMBRANES
IT IS NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT BOTH MEMBRANE FEED LINES
**
TO PROPERLY FLUSH THE CARBON FILTER.
12
Make sure incoming feed water is
shut o, ensuring the RO lter is
depressurized.
Disconnect both 1/4” white lines that
feed both membranes’ input from the
carbon lter.
3
Reconnect tubing to membrane input
and resume normal lter operation.
Hold tubing over sink or bucket.
Slowly turn on incoming water pressure,
allowing 5 gallons of water to ush
through the carbon lter.
Once ushed, turn o incoming feed water.
Pre-lters should be changed when either brown discoloration occurs,
•
or system ow rates have signicantly declined.
• Always turn incoming water pressure o before servicing the unit.
• Always turn incoming water pressure on slowly, allowing all air to be discharged
before full water pressure is restored.
12
Unscrew sediment and carbon lter
housings using supplied lter wrench.
Wash inside of lter housings to
remove debris.
3
When replacing lter housings, make
sure housing O-rings are seated
properly. O-rings function best when
lubricated with food grade silicone
lubricant.
SedimentCarbon
Install new sediment and carbon lter,
making sure they go into the correct
lter housings.
4
Tighten lter housings by hand, do not
use lter wrench. Do not over tighten.

REPLACING MEMBRANE ELEMENT
2
IMPORTANT TIPS:
• The EX400 has 2 membranes;
repeat the following steps for
each membrane.
• Membranes should be
replaced when system output
signicantly declines. Note:
system output may decline due
to other factors as well
(SEE: TROUBLESHOOTING)
1
Input tube
Disconnect input tube(s) from RO
membrane housing.
3
Unscrew membrane housing end cap.
Caps can be dicult to remove. Be sure
to have a rm grip on opposite side of
housing . Do not lose O-ring on inside
of cap. Each cap has two O-rings.
4
Brine Seal
Insert new membrane into housing,
making sure the membrane-end with
the brine seal goes in last. Make sure
membrane is completely seated in the
housing.
Pull out membrane using needle nose
pliers or other similar tool.
5
Replace end cap and tighten by hand.
If O-rings are dry, lubricate with food
grade silicone lubricant. Allow system
to run for ½ hour before using RO
water.
GrowoniX water lters come with a manual ush valve. Flushing the membrane element after each
use for approximately 3-5 minutes will remove standing salts from the membrane, signicantly
extending membrane life. Even weekly ushes will improve membrane life and system performance.
12
Locate the Flow Restrictor
3
Let system run for 3-5 minutes.
Replace the Flow Restrictor
