EVERPURE® CONSERV® HE-3 RO SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
The system consists of seven (7) major components:
• Everpure® SEN+ Fine Filter Cartridges*
• Inlet Booster Pump
• Everpure MR-600F Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane
Cartridge
• Permeate Pump
• Everpure SEN Fine Filter Cartridge*
• Control System with Power Supply
• 15 Gallon Storage Tank
The SEN+ Fine Filter Cartridges contain multiple medias.
These medias filter out dirt and particles, reduce chlorine
and provide scale control, to extend RO membrane life.*
The Inlet Booster Pump increases the inlet pressure to
maintain consistent permeate production.
The MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge contains a semipermeable reverse osmosis membrane. It’s here that most
of the dissolved impurities are separated from the water
and flushed down the drain. The water that is able to pass
through the membrane, which is very low in dissolved
impurities, is referred to as permeate or RO water.
The Storage Tank minimizes back pressure on the permeate
produced by the MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge. This
reduction of back pressure provides consistent permeate
production and maximizes system efficiency for peak demand.
The SEN Fine Filter Cartridge acts as a postfilter, filtering the
RO water and any tap water added via the blending system.*

SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION
Locate the system in an area that is convenient to the inlet
water supply and drain facilities, with access for routing
the blended water tubing/piping to the equipment. Install
in a dry location, away from all forms of corrosive and/or
flammable materials. Consider ease of access for servicing
when selecting a location. If the Conserv HE-3 RO System
is replacing an existing Everpure® MRS-600HE-II High
Efficiency RO System the mounting system may be reused.
The Conserv HE-3 is designed to mount using the MRS-600
HE-II wall mount brackets. The Conserv HE-3 may also be
mounted using a new design wall mount hinge system (sold
separately).
If the Conserv HE-3 RO System is wall mounted on hinges be
certain the unit has clearance to swing out for maintenance.
Evaluate the mounting surface for its ability to properly
support the weight of the processor when in operation
[approximately 90 lbs (40.8 kgs)].

SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Mounting surface may require reinforcement to
support the Processor Assembly safely. Hollow
walls, drywall and other non-structural surfaces
are not suitable for mounting unless reinforced.
WARNING: Do not use screws smaller than #12 (5.5 mm) for
mounting the Processor Assembly.
The Everpure® Conserv® HE-3 Processor Cabinet is designed
to wall mount using either of two (2) methods.
1. If an Everpure® MRS-600HE-II System is being replaced,
the mounting brackets can be reused. The new Conserv
HE-3 will not swing open when using these brackets.
2. A mounting kit may be purchased that includes two (2)
hinges and a template with instructions. This mounting
kit allows the Conserv HE-3 to swing open for access to
the back of the cabinet.
1
Wall Mounting Using the Hinged Mounting Kit
The Everpure® Conserv® HE-3 Processor Cabinet can have
two (2) mounting hinges attached to one side of the cabinet.
The second half of the hinge is separate and will be mounted
to the wall. See Figure 5 for Dimensions. When this half of the
hinge is correctly mounted to the wall, it allows the cabinet to
be lifted and the hinge pieces to connect to each other.
NOTE: When the processor cabinet is hinge-mounted, it
can swing away from the wall to allow servicing.
Determine that the application site will allow the
cabinet to swing in the desired direction.
CAUTION: Be certain that the holes are vertically level.
Any deviation will cause the Conserv HE-3 RO
System Cabinet to swing during servicing.
1. Place the two (2) hinges in position over the mounting
holes with the pegs pointing up.
2. Secure the hinges with appropriate hardware.

Tubing Locations
1. Refer to Figure 6 Conserv HE-3 RO System Assembly
for a description of major components and connection
points. These major components and connections will be
referred to in the following steps.
2. Prepare the plumbing to accept the RO system.
NOTE: The blended water tubing/piping and associated
fittings connecting the RO blended water outlet to
the equipment being serviced should be food-grade
material that meets NSF® Standard 51, 61, or similar,
with a minimum pressure rating of 100 psi (6.9 bar,
0.69 MPa). The blended water may react with metal
piping, creating a corrosive condition in addition
to imparting an objectionable taste. Plastic pipe or
reinforced beverage tubing are generally very good
material choices for RO water distribution piping.
The size of the blended water tubing/piping should
be 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) O.D. minimum. Distances of
25 feet (7.6 m) or greater from the RO system to the
equipment being serviced should be 1/2-inch (12.7
mm) O.D. minimum.
3. Locate an appropriate point in the hard water plumbing
to tie in a new section of tubing/piping that can be routed
to the RO system. CLOSE the nearest shut-off valve
that is upstream from the tie-in point and relieve the
pressure in the line. Tie in the new tubing/piping section
and connect it to the Hard Water Inlet fitting. See Figure
6 Conserv HE-3 RO System Assembly.
