SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The incoming feed water from a cold supply pipe valve is directed through 1/4” BLACK
tubing and is first passed through a 1 micron Micro-Tec™ sediment pre-filter. This filter is
used to remove excessive turbidity, sand, dust, silt etc.that may cause the carbon filter to
plug up. The next stage of filtration is a 1 micron carbon block pre-filter. This filter is used to
remove organics and chlorine from the feed water that can damage the membrane. The
final stage of the system is the R.O. membrane. A high rejection Thin Film Composite (TFC)
membrane is used in this system. This removes as much as 98% of most inorganic salts, all
micro-organisms and almost all high molecular weight organics in the water.

SYSTEM INITIALIZATION

If you are setting up your system for the first time or replacing a
membrane, p
Ratio” section on page 9-10 .

System Hook-Up

1. Attach the garden hose adapter (black tubing) to your cold water
source. Never run hot water (greater than 100° F (38° C)) through
the system.

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

3. Open the cold water supply valve. You may use pressure up to 80 psi
(5.5 bar).

lease see the “

Checking the Concentrate to Purified Water

Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak- free
before leaving the system unattended.

Note: It is recommended that at least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of purified
water be discarded now before collecting purified water for use. If the
unit is not used for several days, run the system for at least 10 minutes
before collecting any water. This will flush out any stale water in the
system.

4. Finish the installation by connecting the yellow line to a drain. The
blue line can be placed into a RubberMaid™ trash can or set up
automatically using a Liquid Level Controller (LLC-S-115 or
LLC-M-115) or the Auto Shut-Off Kit (ASOFK).

CHECKING THE CONCENTRATE TO PURIFIED WATER RATIO

This procedure will assure you of maximum life and reliability of your SpectraPure System.

Failure to perform this procedure can permanently damage the membrane and will void

the pro-rated Membrane Warranty.

In order to maximize the life of your SpectraPure RO Membrane, you may need to adjust
the ratio of the concentrate to purified water. If not enough concentrate is allowed to flow
past the membrane during operation, the impurities will precipitate out on the membrane
surface, clogging the RO Membrane. To keep this from happening, the Concentrate to Puri­fied Water Ratio must be checked and adjusted in order to compensate for pressure and
temperature variations that exist in all water supplies. The flow rate of the concentrate must
be a minimum of 3X the product flow rate. 3X to 5X is an acceptable concentrate flow rate.

Procedure:

1. Locate the Yellow waste line. Direct the waste line into a sink drain.

2. Locate the Blue product line . Direct the product line into a sink drain.

3. Turn on the Feed Supply Valve and let the system run for 20 min.

4. Collect product water from the blue line into a measuring cup for one
minute. Measure the collected amount in milli-liters. (30 ml = 1 oz) Do
the same with the waste water.

WASTE IN MILLILITERS______________ML

DIVIDED BY

PRODUCT IN MILLILITERS______________ML

The resultant is the Concentrate to Product Ratio

(Although not needed in this procedure, the daily product flow rate in Gallons per

Day (GPD) can be calculated to be equal to the product flow rate times 0.38 ).

5. If ratio is less than 3:1= Remove Flow Restrictor as shown on page 9-10 and
cut 1” off.

6. Re-measure your ratio and repeat proceedure untill you acheive a 3/1 ratio.

7. If ratio is greater than 5:1, flow restrictor requires replacement

FLOW RESTRICTOR REMOVAL, ADJUSTMENT, AND

REPLACEMENT

1. Locate the yellow concentrate tubing (Page 13 for Single-Membrane System
or Page 5 for Dual-Membrane System). Remove the tubing from its
push-fitting at the membrane as follows:
a.) Firmly depress and hold the push-fitting collar down with your
thumbnail.
b.) While the push-fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight
out of the push-fitting. Once the tubing is removed, release the
collar.

2. Carefully remove the flow restrictor assembly, now visible as a plastic insert in
the end of the yellow tubing (Fig. C). You may use an object such as a dull
knife to help pry the flow restrictor insert from the end of the tubing. The
entire flow restrictor (consisting of the insert coller and thin capillary tubing)
may then be gently extracted.

Note: Take care not to crush or otherwise damage the delicate capillary

tubing.

3. Using a new single-edge razor blade, carefully measure and then cut the
flow restrictor.

4. Re-insert the flow restrictor assembly into the yellow tubing and firmly
re-seat the insert into the end of the yellow tubing by carefully pressing on
the insert with your thumbnail. Care should be taken not to crush or other­ wise damage the end of the capillary tubing protruding from the end of
the insert.

5. Re-insert the yellow tubing into its push-fitting in the RO membrane as
follows:
a.) Moisten the O-ring seal inside the concentrate outlet fitting by dripping
a few drops of clean water into the fitting.
b.) Grasp the yellow tubing near the flow restrictor end, and insert the
tubing into the push-fitting. 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.
c.) 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 O-ring seal.

6. 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
yellow 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.

TESTING QUALITY OF THE MEMBRANE

Membrane Output Calculation

Membranes produce the rated gallons per day (GPD) at 60 psi (4.1 bars) operat­ing pressure, 77°F (25°C) operating temperature and 500 ppm total dissolved
solids.

Membrane output gallons per day (GPD) depends on operating pressure, water
temperature and the ppm 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 multipled by the PCF.

PCF = Line Pressure (in psi) ÷ 60

Calculation of Temperature Correction Factor (TCF): The output (GPD)

also decreases with decrease in temperature. This is because water viscosity
increases with decrease in water temperature.

Membrane Output Calculation Example

What is the expected GPD from a 75 GPD System at 40 psi pressure and 60°F
water temperature?

PCF = 40 ÷ 60 = 0.666
TCF = 0.754 (from Table 1)
Expected GPD = 75 × 0.666 × 0.754 = 37.7 GPD ± 15%

Performance Test

The performance of a RO membrane is measured in terms of its rejection charac­teristics.

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

Note: This procedure will require a Conductivity Meter (TS-C61).

Procedure:

1. Measure tap water conductivity. (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 conductivity. (Call it Y).

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

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

7. Rejection = [(X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100

* Conductivity in the above procedure could be replaced by hardness, alkalinity,
nitrate, phosphate, silica etc. (measured in ppm or mg/l).

Rejection of the RO Membrane Calculation Example

1. Tap water hardness = 150 ppm (X)

2. RO water hardness = 7 ppm (Y)

3. X - Y = 143 ppm

4. (X - Y) ÷ X = 143 ÷ 150 = 0.953

5. Rejection = [ ( X - Y) ÷ X ] ×100 = 0.953 ×100 = 95.3

Membrane Hardness Rejection = 95.3 % : Membrane OK

TIPS FOR LONG MEMBRANE LIFE

1. Replacement of 1 micron sediment filter once every 6 months.This will pre vent the
mem brane from fouling due to silt or sediment depositing on the membrane.

2. Replacement of 1 micron carbon block filter at least once every 6 months or before
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 recommended concen trate to
purified water ratios, as described on page 10.

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

5. Use the optional flush valve kit after each use of the system to extend membrane life .

STORAGE

1. It is recommended that you store your Eliminator RO System in a cool
place when not being used.

2. Your Eliminator RO System must be protected from freezing or temperatures
above 100° F (38°C).

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION

When considering a location for the installation of the System, consider the following
factors:

Light Sources

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

2. Algae is more likely to thrive inside the clear filter housings when exposed to
bright light.

3. Avoid installing this unit in bright light or direct sunlight.

Temperature Extremes

1. The unit must be kept out of areas that are subject to freezing temperatures.

2. High temperatures greater than 100° F (38° 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.
