INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, on the purchase of your new Body Glove Advanced Rev erse Osmosis Water Fi lter Sy stem. With proper care and
regular maintenance, your new system will provide many years of service, delivering great tasting water.

Please take a few moments to review the contents of the Body Glove Reverse Osmosis System and this manual before
proceeding with the installation and use of the system. Some important items to review are:

o Check all components for any damage caused in shipment. Also, take a quick inventory of all items supplied to ensure

none are missing. A checklist in the next section will assist you with identifying these items.

o Ensure that the reverse osmosis system and storage tank will easily fit into th e desi red l ocatio n. Thi s reve rse osmosi s

system and tank needs to be accessed for regular maintenance, good accessibil ity is a n impor tant t ip to keep in mind.

o Read all CAUTIONS and NOTES contained within this manual. They provide valuable installation tips and advice on

how to properly install and maintain your Body Glove Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System.

The water produced by the reverse osmosis (RO) process can be used for many purposes around the home and office.

o Drinking Water - keep a container of RO water in the fridge to enjoy the clean, fresh taste of purified water.

Alternatively, take it directly from the faucet dispenser.

o Ice Cubes - use RO water to fill ice cube trays. Ice cubes made from RO water are typically clearer and better

tasting than ice made from non-filtered tap water.

o Automatic Ice Makers - a water line from the RO system can be plumbed to refrigerators with automatic

icemakers. Additional accessories required to complete this connection are not included. Please consult the
refrigerator manufacturer’s owner’s manual for this type of installation.

o Kettles and Coffee Makers - tap water eventually causes films and scale in these devices that is difficult to clean

without the use of special cleansers. RO water is very low in dissolved minerals content, greatly reducing the
tendency of scale buildup.

o Cooking - use RO water for food preparation and any recipe that calls for water.
o Washing Fresh Fruit & Vegetables - prevent tap water minerals from being deposited onto food to maintain

freshness and to prevent off-tastes.

o Family Pets – Allow your pets to enjoy the same great tasting water you do.
o Irons & Steamers - prevent mineral buildup in household and office appliances that use water and eventually

build up with scale when using non-filtered tap water.

Now you can enjoy all the benefits of great tasting water supplied by your Body Glove reverse osmosis drinking water system.

The manufacturer teste d higher efficiency and recovery rati ngs using the 25 GPD TFC membranes wi th the Body Glove
BG-Pure. Stringent NSF/ANSI 58 testing criteria reported lower efficiency and recovery ratings, representing the wors t
case tested scenarios. Under surrogate testing, using a storage tank with backpressure, the TDS reduction effici enc y
percentage averaged 95% and the recovery rating percentage averaged 28.5% based on manufacturer test data.

NOTES:

1. TFC refers to reverse osmosis membranes constructed from a THIN FILM COMPOSITE.

2. The daily production rate is the volume of product water produced by the system per day and is determined by testing in ac c or danc e with the procedure
outlined in NSF/ANSI Standard 58.

3. System’s Efficiency rating as verified by test ing in ac c or danc e with NSF/ANSI standard 58. Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to
the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treat ed water under operating conditions that approx im ate typical daily usage.

4. System’s Recov er y rating as verified by testing in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standar d 58. System’s Recovery rating means the percentage of the influent
water to the membrane portion of t he s ystem that is available to the user as r ev er s e os m os is treated water when the system is operated without a s torage
tank or when the storage tank is bypassed.

5. PRESSURE REGULATOR IS RECOMMENDED FOR FEED WATER PRESSURES EXCEEDING 552 kPa ( 80 ps i).

6. SMARTAP® PUSH BUTTON MONITOR. Indicator lights located on the module cover report syst em s tatus.

242-690 kPa (35-100 psi) Iron (Fe ) <0.1

<4.0

*** Silt Density Index: Value stated in SDI units.

Faucets will be supplied as Air Gap.

A booster pump may be used if system pressure is below 242 kPa (35 psi).

Pump should be placed near RO Module and installed in feed wat er line jus t

before it enters Module.
