HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) WORKS

The Everpure Conserv LT-S Processor uses a semipermeable membrane to reduce scale and corrosion. The RO membrane cartridge contains multiple layers of micron-thin film wound around a hollow center core. Water molecules can pass through the cartridge, while dissolved salts are rejected.

Your water supply is prefiltered to reduce dirt and chlorine that may foul the membrane. The RO membrane cartridge separates this prefiltered water into RO WATER and REJECT WATER. Water pressure forces water through the membrane within the RO membrane cartridge then into the storage tank. This is the RO water. Dissolved salts cannot pass through the membrane and are sent to the drain as reject water.

The Conserv LT-S Processor features a blend-in-tank process which uses the RO water described above, with calcium carbonate, and adds filtered water from carbon filtration to create a consistent product water. When you use water from the storage tank, the pressure inside the tank drops and the pressure switch closes. The system then begins to operate, replenishing the water you took from the storage tank. The storage tank can hold up to 3 gals (11.3 L) of water at one time.

NOTE: When used under operating conditions specified

in this manual, the RO membrane cartridge of the Conserv LT-S Processor should last 12 to 24 months. The precise life span of the Pentair® GRO-75EN RO Membrane Cartridge will depend on the quality of the water entering the system and the frequency with which you use it. Frequent use prevents the dissolved salts from building up on the membrane as scale. The more water the system is required to produce, the longer the membrane will last.

Secure Manifold Wall Mount:

The Conserv LT-S Processor weighs approx. 25 lbs (11.3 kgs).

CAUTION: The Conserv LT-S Processor should be mounted

on a stud or firm surface. The mounting bracket will support the weight of the system and help prevent strain on the water lines.

1. Remove the Pentair GRO-75EN Membrane from the clip on the wall unit.

2. When mounting the Conserv LT-S Processor on a wall, four (4) screws are required to mount the unit. The two (2) top screws will be 10.5" (26.7 cm) apart and level. Screw the two (2) screws into the wall. Leave a gap between the screw head and the wall of 1/8". The backside of the unit has two (2) slots that will fit over the screw heads and slide down to lock (Figure 2).

3. Tighten both screws from the front.

4. Insert screws into the two (2) remaining mounting holes. Screw them in and tighten.

Connect Tubing for Cartridge Flushing:

1. Refer to Figure 3 for a general description of connection points.

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 125 psi (8.6 bar,

0.86 MPa). The blended water may react with metal piping, creating a corrosive condition. 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 3/8" (9.5 mm) ID minimum. Distances of 25 feet (7.6 m) or greater from the RO processor to the equipment being serviced should be 1/2" (12.7 mm) ID 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 processor. CLOSE the nearest shut-off valve that is upstream from the tie-in point and relieve the pressure in the line. Install a 3/8" (9.5 mm) tubing/piping section and connect it to the INLET - Supply Water fitting. See Figure 3.

4. Connect a length of 3/8" O.D. tubing to the connection for the Storage Tank. Route the other end to the Storage Tank and insert it into the ball valve. The ball valve should be closed.

5. Connect a length of 3/8" O.D. tubing to the Everpure Conserv LT-S Processor outlet connection. Secure an open ball valve to the other end and position it over a drain.

Prepare to Flush the Everpure 4FC5 Cartridge:

The Everpure 4FC5 Filter Cartridge is installed and flushed before the Pentair GRO-75EN RO and the Everpure 4CC Cartridges are installed.

1. Install the bypass plug into the filter head for the Everpure 4CC Cartridge. This head is centered and toward the front of the unit.

2. Connect the electrical cord to the socket located on the power supply.

3. The inlet water should be connected and turned off.

USING THE TDS METER TO TEST FOR TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS

After the processor has been flushed, it is still necessary to test and set the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to an acceptable level. A TDS meter is included for testing purposes.

The included TDS Meter is designed for limited use. After six (6) tests, the meter may not be accurate and should be discarded.

Probe End

Figure 10

NOTE: For better accuracy and frequent testing for TDS, use

a standard pocket TDS meter.

Set Blending Valve

The water exiting the Everpure Conserv LT-S Processor should have a TDS reading of 80 ppm before the Everpure 4CC Cartridge is added.

NOTE: The blend adjustment valve will be opened one (1)

full turn to take the initial reading.

1. CLOSE the blend adjustment valve, then OPEN it one (1) full turn to the left (counterclockwise).

2. Turn power ON and collect 1" to 2" of RO blended water in a clean glass container.

3. Insert probe end of meter no more than 1" into water, and depress blue cap. Do not submerge entire unit.

4. One (1) or two (2) lights will light immediately. Match light(s) to the chart to get approximate range of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Release the blue cap, and write down the TDS range.

76-150 ppm (flashing blue)

100-250 ppm (flashing blue + solid green)

251-300 ppm (solid green)

301-400 ppm (flashing green)

401-500 ppm (solid green + flashing green)

501-600 ppm (flashing green + solid red)

601-750 ppm (flashing red)

751-900 ppm (solid red)

The Conserv LT-S Processor includes a blend system that can combine or "blend" water sources. OPENING the blend adjustment valve will add untreated water with higher TDS to the RO water.

To achieve the target TDS of 80 ppm, it is likely that the blend valve will need to be adjusted. Use the TDS reading from the previous steps as the starting point. If that number is above 80 ppm, the blend adjustment valve will need to be closed slightly. If that number is below 80 ppm, the blend adjustment valve will need to be opened slightly.

NOTE: Changes to the blend adjustment valve should be

made in small increments. Adjust the valve in 1/8 to 1/4 of a rotation for best results.

The desired reading of 80 ppm is at the high end of the solid blue range. To be certain the blended water is at or near 80 ppm, use the following procedure:

1. Run blended water into a glass and collect 1" to 2" of water.

2. Test this water for a TDS level. Based on the result, the mixing valve will be opened or closed.

• If the meter showed a solid blue light, then the mixing

valve will be OPENED more.

• If the meter showed any other indicator, then the

mixing valve will be CLOSED more.

14 WATER YOU CAN TRUST

Page 15

3. Adjust the mixing valve if needed and run blended water for two (2) minutes. Discard this water.

4. Repeat Steps 3, 4 and 5 until the light indicators change between solid blue and flashing blue. The blended water TDS should now be at 80 ppm.

Install the Everpure® 4CC Mineral Cartridge:

Locate the 4CC Cartridge and inspect the o-rings. They should be clean and lightly lubricated with silicone grease.

1. Turn power OFF.

2. Remove the port plug.

3. Line up the tabs on the 4CC Cartridge with the slots in the opening on the front side of the head assembly. See Figure 6 and insert the cartridge to full depth.

Tank pressure may be checked using an air pressure gauge on the air valve on the side of the tank.

PLACE THE CONSERV LT-S PROCESSOR INTO OPERATION

1. Remove the ball valve from the end of the blended water outlet.

2. Connect the blended water outlet tubing to the application.

TESTING YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS PROCESSOR

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Test

Under NSF/ANSI Standard 58, it is highly recommended that the blended water be tested at least every six (6) months to verify that the processor is performing satisfactorily.

CAUTION: Visually check the entire processor for leaks. If a

leak is present, see Troubleshooting.

NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy. This is a result

of air trapped in the postfilter cartridge. It is not harmful and will disappear in a matter of minutes. It may take up to a week after installing a new postfilter cartridge for the trapped air to dissipate.

No Flow or Slow Flow from the Brine (Reject) Line (Less than 6 fl. oz. or 180 mL per minute)

NOTE: Before checking brine (or reject) flow, make sure the

unit is producing water by turning the valve on the storage tank OFF and OPENING the application valve. Water should drip from valve.

1. Replace the prefilter cartridge according to the "Changing the Cartridge Instructions" and recheck the brine (or reject) flow rate.

2. If the prefilter cartridge is not at fault, the brine (or reject) flow controller could be clogged. Call Technical Support.

High TDS in Product Water

1. If high TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) is detected in the blended water, the RO cartridge may need to be replaced or the reject flow control tubing may be clogged. If this is a new installation, call Technical Support.

2. Otherwise, draw 1 gal (3.8 L) of water from the unit. After 10 minutes, run water from the blended water port and test the water again.

3. Determine when you last changed the RO cartridge and call Technical Support.

Limited Flow at the Application Equipment Valve

1. Turn OFF water supply to processor.

2. OPEN the application valve to turn on flow.

3. Unscrew the blue cap on the side of the Storage Tank to expose air valve. Use a small air compressor or bicycle pump to slowly add air to the storage tank. This will force the water out of the storage tank through the valve. Continue to slowly add air until water stops coming out of the valve.

4. Turn OFF the application equipment valve.

5. Using an air pressure gauge, adjust the pressure in the storage tank to 5-7 psi (0.34 bar, 0.034 MPa).

6. Replace the blue cap.

7. OPEN the incoming water valve until it comes to a stop. Let the processor run one (1) to three (3) hours to fill the tank. A full tank weighs approximately 32 lbs (14.5 kgs) pounds. If performance has not improved, call Technical Support.
