GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

This SpectraPure® RODI System gives you a continuous supply of sparkling
clear water. The reliability with the SpectraPure® Water Treatment System is
greatly improved over other systems. Costly maintenance can be avoided,
providing high quality water at your fingertips.

The incoming feed water from a cold water source is directed through
BLACK tubing with an inline ball valve and is first passed through a
sediment prefilter. This filter is used to remove excessive turbidity, sand,
dust, silt, etc., that would otherwise cause the carbon filter to become
fouled with particulate matter which would reduce the downstream
pressure, resulting in a drop in production and a diminished ability to
remove chlorine. The next stage of filtration is the carbon block prefilter.
This filter is used to remove organics and chlorine from the feed water
that can damage the membrane. The next stage of the system is the RO
membrane.

Household water pressure is used to force tap water through the
semipermeable RO membrane. The membrane only allows the purest of
water molecules to pass through it while over 98% of

all microorganisms and almost all high molecular weight organics in the
water

are rejected by the membrane and sent down the drain.

most inorganic salts,

This RODI system has a single-stage Deionization cartridge that polishes
the RO water to less-than-one ppm purity. The system uses the standard
SilicaBuster™ Color-Indicating DI Cartridge (DI-SB-CI-10), however, you
may replace it with our new SilicaBuster™ Extended Life Super DI Color­Indicating Cartridge (DI-SB-CI-10HC).

WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS:

Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors.

To remove the tubing from its push fitting:

1. Firmly depress and hold the push fitting collar down with your thumbnail.

2. While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out
of the push fitting. Once the tubing is removed, release the collar.

To reinsert the tubing into its push fitting:

1. Moisten the O -ring seal inside the push fitting by dripping a few drops
of clean water into the fitting.

2. Grasp the tubing near the end, and insert the tubing into the push fitting.

3. Push the tubing into the fitting until resistance is felt, approximately
1/2 inch (12.7 mm). The tubing is now resting on the O-ring seal
inside the fitting.

4. Firmly push the tubing approximately an additional 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
further into the fitting to completely seat the line into the fitting and
past the O - ring seal.

5. Turn on the system water supply and check for leaks prior to further
use or testing. If a leak is observed, you may not have pushed the
tubing into the push fitting far enough to seal the tubing against the
O-ring. Turn off the system water supply and reseat the tubing as
described above.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION:

1. Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to
damage by ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as
metal halide lighting.

2. Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to
bright light or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside
the clear filter housings when exposed to bright light. The unit must
be kept out of areas that are subject to freezing temperatures.

3. High temperatures greater than 113° F (45° C) must be avoided. If
the unit is used outside, avoid putting the system in direct sunlight
or connecting it to a garden hose that may be exposed to sunlight.

4. Attach the black tap water tubing to the left side of the Sediment
Filter Housing (See page 6).

5. Attach the black tubing and elbow(s) to the membrane housing cap(s).

6. Attach the garden hose adapter (connected to the black tubing)
to your cold water source. Never run hot water (greater than
113° F/45° C) through the system.

7. Unscrew the right-hand DI housing and remove the DI cartridge.
Reconnect the empty housing to the threaded cap. Hand tighten.

8. Place the yellow concentrate (waste) tubing and the blue purified
(product) water tubing temporarily into a drain. Do not restrict
flow from these lines.

9. Open the cold water supply valve. The pressure should not exceed 80 psi.
Run the system for an hour to flush membrane residue.

10. Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free
before leaving the system unattended. (If anything is leaking,
contact SpectraPure for assistance.)

11. Unscrew the right-hand DI housing and replace the DI cartridge.
Reconnect the housing to the threaded cap. Hand tighten.

12. Discard approximately 2 gallons of product water before
collecting purified water for use.

13. Close the cold water supply valve.

14. Finish the installation by directing or connecting the yellow line to
a permanent drain.

NOTE: It may take several days of normal operation for the membrane

to reach its full production rate.

SEDIMENT PREFILTER REPLACEMENT:

A Sediment Filter will usually last approx. 4-6 months, depending on the
quality of the tap water and quantity of water being produced. (The life
span of the filter is determined by the turbidity, iron content, organics,
and total particulate volume in your water source). The best way to determine
when your Sediment Prefilter needs replacement is to monitor the Pressure
Gauge. When you have a drop in pressure of 15-20% below your normal
gauge pressure, replace the filter. To verify this, run water through the
system without the filter in its housing. If the pressure returns to your
normal house pressure without the filter, you will know the filter you just
took out was plugged up and causing the pressure drop.

**NOTE: A drop in the system’s production is, in most cases, an indication
that the sediment filter has become saturated with contaminants and
will need to be replaced. If you remove the sediment and the pressure
does not return to normal, the carbon filter may be plugged. If your
water contains a great deal of sediment or chlorine, the prefilters may
require more frequent changes to maintain adequate production rate and
extended membrane life.

Sediment Prefilter Replacement

Materials Required: Sediment Prefilter (SF-MT-1-10 or SF-MT- 0.5 -10),

Filter Wrench (WR-UNIV)

Procedure:

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

2. Using the provided filter housing
the left. Unscrew it clockwise as viewed from the top.

3. Remove the old filter and discard.

4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water and a few
teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean hot water.

5. Insert the new prefilter into the housing, Screw the housing back onto
the assembly and hand-tighten only.

NOTE: Do not use filter wrench to tighten housings. Over-tightening

will damage housings and void your warranty.

6. Proceed with carbon block filter replacement.

CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT:

A Carbon Filter will usually lasts 4- 6 months ,depending on the chlorine
(or chloramine) content of your tap water and quantity of water being
produced. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Prefilter
needs replacement is to use a chlorine test kit.

Any chlorine level above 0.1 ppm will cause damage to the membrane
and indicates that the carbon block filter must be changed. To test for
chlorine breakthrough, collect a 10 ml sample of the concentrate from
the yellow tubing and test the chlorine concentration using test kit TK-CL­10-KIT. If the chlorine concentration is above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon
prefilter.

**NOTE: A drop in the system’s production is, in most cases, an indication
that the sediment filter has become saturated with contaminants, but a
carbon filter may also decrease production if it’s covered with extremely
fine sediment. If the carbon filter becomes fouled with sediment, it will no
longer be able to remove chlorine.

Carbon Block Filter Replacement

Materials Required: Carbon Block Prefilter (CF-1-10 or CF-0.5-10), Filter

Wrench, Chlorine Test Kit (TK -CL -10 -KIT)

Procedure:

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

2. Using the provided filter housing wrench, remove the second housing
from the left. Unscrew it clockwise as viewed from the top.

3. Remove the old filter and discard.

4. Thoroughly wash the housing with a mixture of hot soapy water and a
few teaspoons of household bleach. Rinse well with clean hot water.

5. Insert the new carbon block filter into the housing, Screw the housing
back onto the assembly and hand-tighten only.

NOTE: Do not use filter wrench to tighten housings. Over-tightening

will damage housings and void your warranty.

6. Turn on system water supply and check for leaks.

DI CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT:

1. Without a TDS meter, you will have to determine when to replace the DI cartridge.
Monitor the color-changing DI resin for exhaustion. The resin will start to change
color at the indicator label on the cartridge. The color change will grow upward and
should indicate exhaustion when the color change gets to the top of the cartridge.

2. A better and more accurate method would be to use a hand-held TDS Meter.
Measure a sample of product water in a CLEAN cup. If it displays “001 ppm” or
higher, it is time to replace the SilicaBuster
may also replace it with our new SilcaBuster
(DI-SB -CI-10HC). It has greater capacity, yet still fits in your housing.

3. Turn the system off and remove the cartridge housing by rotating it counterclock
wise until it is free of the threaded head on the bracket.

4. Make sure the new DI cartridge is installed in the correct direction as marked on the
cartridge shell and be sure that the top seal is securely attached to the top of the cartridge.

5. Tighten the cartridge housing by rotating it clockwise and hand tighten.

6. Turn on system and check for leaks.

RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT:

1. Turn off the water supply to the RO system. Place the system where the
membrane housing(s) can be easily accessed.

2. Remove the black tubing from the membrane feed push fitting by depressing
the collar on the fitting with your thumb and pulling the tubing from the push
fitting. You should not have to remove the blue and yellow tubes.

3. Lift the membrane housing from the retention clips and unscrew the
membrane housing cap. This may require two people.

4. Use a pair of pliers to grasp the membrane stem and pull the membrane from
the housing.

5. Remove the black housing O-ring. Wash the empty housing with soapy
water. Rinse thoroughly with hot, clean water.

6. Insert the new membrane into the housing, with the double o-ring end first.
The o-rings and tube must fit into the recess at the bottom of the membrane
housing. When the membrane is aligned with the recess, firmly push the
membrane into the recess until it bottoms out.

7. Place the black housing O - ring on the housing rim and carefully screw the lid
back on to the base. Hand-tighten.

8. Reconnect the black tubing to the membrane feed push fitting.

9. If you have a dual-membrane system (-180), perform steps 2 thru 8 on the
second membrane.

10. Open the Flush Valve and allow the system to flush for several minutes to
remove any loose particles.

11. Close the Flush Valve and turn on the water supply to the system.

12. Check for leaks.

RO MEMBRANE DIAGNOSTICS:

In order to accurately determine the condition and performance of the
RO Membrane, a conductivity tester capable of reading the tap water
conductivity (or TDS) and the product water conductivity (or TDS) would
typically be required.

You may also use an alkalinity test kit (on softened water sources) or a
hardness test kit (on non-softened water sources).

Note: All water sources are different and are subject to changes in
conductivity from season to season which could affect the TDS
reading depending on the time of the year. For this reason, we
recommend the use of a conductivity (TDS) tester in order to determine
the most accurate measurement for determining the condition of the
RO membrane.

TESTING THE QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE:

The performance of a RO membrane is measured by its ability to reject
salts or TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). This procedure will require a TDS
Meter. SpectraPure offers several models:

MTR-TDS-EZ HM Digital Hand-held TDS Meter
MTR-TDS-DM1 HM Digital In-Line Dual Probe TDS Meter

General Procedure:

1. Measure tap water TDS. (Call it X)

2. Run the system for 15 -20 minutes.

3. Rinse test instrument cell 2-3 times with RO water.

4. Measure RO water TDS directly from the blue product water line.
(Call it Y).

5. Subtract RO water TDS from tap water TDS. (X - Y)

6. Divide this quantity by tap water TDS. (X - Y) ÷ X

7. Rejection = [(X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100

TDS in the above procedure is measured in ppm or mg/l.

Important: Test the quality of the membrane once every 6 months.

Rejection of the RO Membrane Calculation Example

1. Tap water TDS = 150 ppm (X)

2. RO water TDS = 15 ppm (Y)

3. X - Y = 135 ppm

4. (X - Y) ÷ X = 135 ÷ 150 = 0.90

5. Rejection = [ ( X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100 = 0.90 ×100 = 90%

NOTE: Rejection rates less than 95% may indicate that the membrane should be

replaced.

MEMBRANE PRODUCTION CALCULATION:

Membranes produce the rated gallons per day (GPD) at 60 psi (4.1 bars)
operating pressure, 77°F (25°C) operating temperature and with no more
than 500 ppm total dissolved solids.

Membrane output gallons per day (GPD) depends on operating pressure,
water temperature and the TDS in the feed water.

Expected GPD = Rated GPD × PCF × TCF

PCF is the pressure correction factor
TCF is the temperature correction factor

Calculation of Pressure Correction Factor (PCF): The output (GPD) from

the membrane is directly proportional to the applied pressure.

NOTE: The membrane is rated to produce the rated GPD at 60 psi. For any

pressure other than 60 psi the output GPD is multiplied by the PCF.

PCF = Line Pressure (in psi) ÷ 60

Calculation of Temperature Correction Factor (TCF): The output (GPD)
decreases with a decrease in temperature. This is due to water viscosity
increasing with a decrease in water temperature.

What is the expected GPD from a 100 GPD System at 40 psi pressure and
60°F water temperature?

PCF = 40 ÷ 60 = 0.666
TCF = 0.754 (from Table above)

Expected GPD = 100 × 0.666 × 0.754 = 50.2 GPD ± 20%

TIPS FOR LONG MEMBRANE LIFE:

1. Replacement of sediment filter at least once every 6 months.This will
prevent mem brane fouling due to silt or sediment depositing on the
membrane.

2. Replacement of carbon block filter at least once every 6 months or
when chlorine breakthrough occurs. This will ensure good membrane
life and protect the membrane from chlorine damage.

3. Membrane should not be operated at lower than the minimum 3 :1
concentrate to purified water ratio.

4. Operating reverse osmosis systems on softened feed water greatly
reduces the chances of membrane fouling.

F.O.B. SpectraPure’s factory, any product of SpectraPure’s manufacture. SpectraPure will not be
liable for any cost of removal, installation, transportation or any other charges which may arise in
connection with a warranty claim. Products which are sold but not manufactured by SpectraPure
are subject to the warranty provided by the manufacturer of said products and not by SpectraPure’s
warranty. SpectraPure will not be liable for damage or wear to products caused by abnormal

Consumable items such as prefilters and membranes are not covered under the 3 year warranty.

SpectraPure warrants (prorated) the performance of Tested SpectraSelect™ RO membrane elements
only, for one year from date of receipt by the buyer, providing that the loss of performance was not
caused by fouling, neglect or water conditions exceeding the feed water parameters listed in the
applicable product manual (refer to detailed membrane warranty information). SpectraPure will,
on confirmation of loss of performance during the warranty period, credit the prorated amount
of the current catalog price of the element. The disposable filters and cartridges are not covered

equipment and all returned goods must also have adequate insurance coverage and a tracking
number.

SpectraPure will not pay for loss or damage caused directly or indirectly by the presence, growth,
proliferation, spread or any activity of “fungus”, wet or dry rot or bacteria. Such loss or damage is
excluded regardless of any other cause or event that contributes concurrently or in any sequence
to the loss. We will not pay for loss or damage caused by or resulting from continuous or repeated
seepage or leakage of water, or the presence or condensation of humidity, moisture or vapor, that
occurs over a period of 14 days or more. “Fungus” and “fungi” mean any type or form of fungus or
