- CARE OF YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM -
To keep your reverse osmosis system operating and
producing high quality water, you must make sure
supply water is always within the limits shown in the
specifications. Good supply water (soft water is rec-
ommended) helps to assure longer life from the RO
membrane cartridge, prefilter and postfilter car-
tridges. However, each of these will wear out in time
and need replacement.
This reverse osmosis system contains a replace-
able treatment component critical for effective
removal of total dissolved solids. The monitor
faucet feature provides continuous analysis of the
systems performance. For systems not equipped
with the monitor faucet function, it is highly
recommended that you have your water tested at
least every 6 months to verify your system is
performing properly. Test kits are available by
calling 1-800-826-8553 ext. 47, or check the water
testing section of your local phone directory.
If the RO assembly is wall mounted, you may be able
to replace parts with the assembly left on the wall. If
not, simply lift the RO assembly from the mounting
washers and lay on the cabinet floor when replacing
the prefilter and post filter cartridges and RO mem-
brane.
Note: To prevent spillage, place a container under the
RO assembly, or put the RO assembly in a container
to catch the water.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting parts, be sure to
close the water supply valve to the RO.
