Operating Pressure Adjustment Instructions
1. Turn off / unplug the ScaleGard™HP Reverse Osmosis Unit.
2. Remove the shroud from the unit. (See diagram)
3. Open the pressure relief valve on the left side of the manifold to relieve the water pressure in the manifold (See diagram). If the water
continues to ow out of the pressure relief valve, the inlet water solenoid needs to be serviced. Right gauge (tank gauge) will not lose pressure.
4. Remove the prelter cartridge from the left cartridge head on the manifold. (See diagram)
5. Install bypass plug (3M part # 6217402) into the left hand cartridge head on the manifold. (Note: Operating pressure can't be set/adjusted with
used pre-lter cartridges)
6. Close the pressure relief valve.
7. Close the shut off valve in the blend valve line (see diagram).
8. Remove the pressure adjustment lock nut on the water pump to access the set screw (see diagram).
9. Turn on / plug in the SGHP RO unit.
10. Reading the left hand gauge on the unit, use the set screw to adjust the operating pressure to 115 psi +/- 5 psi and not to exceed 120 psi.
11. Turn the set screw in to increase the pressure, out to decrease the pressure. Note: A small amount of water may leak around the set screw,
this is normal.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or ooding:
Notice: Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic ttings, as damage may occur if over tightening occurs.
12. When the operating pressure is set, replace the lock nut and recheck the operating pressure, readjust if necessary. (Do not over tighten lock
nut). Check for water leaks, repair as necessary.
13. Turn off / unplug the SGHP RO unit.
14. Open the pressure relief valve on the left side of the manifold to relieve the manifold water pressure.
15. Remove the bypass plug and reinstall the pre lter cartridge.
16. Close the pressure relief valve.
17. Open the blend valve line shut off valve.
18. Replace the shroud on the unit.
19. Turn on / plug in the SGHP RO unit Note: if the operating pressure is lower than the adjusted pressure, DO NOT READJUST. The reduced
pressure is due to a restriction in the prelter cartridge. It is recommended to change the prelter cartridge.
Important: If pressure drops below 80 psi with prelter installed, Pre-Filter MUST be replaced.
3. ERROR SHUT DOWN If the ow switch stays open (no ow) after the 4th repeat the unit will shut down in “ERROR SHUT DOWN”.
1. The motor / pump shut down
2. 5 second delay inlet solenoid valve closes
3. ERROR light on solid red.
4. Unit will have to manually be restarted.
The unit can/will be reset back to normal operation during the toggle mode by:
1. Unplugging the unit or pressing the reset button on the top of the PLC box
2. Unit cycles off on full tank

Shut-Off procedure:
RO membrane cartridge will need to be changed at least every twenty four (24) months. Pre and Post Filter cartridges must be replaced every six
(6) months.
1. Unplug system from the wall outlet, which will shutoff feedwater to RO system.
2. Open Pre-lter sample valve until ow stops and left pressure gauge reaches 0 psi to relieve pressure.
Pre-Filter and Post Filter Cartridge (blue label) Replacement:
1. Push and hold yellow tab to release cartridge locking mechanism while simultaneously rotating cartridge to the left.
2. Using both hands and holding the cartridge from the bottom, rotate the cartridge a quarter turn to the left and gently pull down.
NOTE: A small amount of water will drain from manifold as cartridge is removed.
3. Remove red sanitary cap from new cartridge. Ensure o-rings are seated into their grooves and lubricate with water. Install with a quarter turn to
the right until cartridge come to a complete stop. NOTE: Cartridges are keyed to t in proper location only.

Routine Maintenance Cartridge Change-out Instructions (Pre/ Post Filter and RO Membrane Cartridge)
WARNING
WARNING
Read entire manual. Failure to follow all guide and rules could cause personal injury or property damage.
• Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
• Your water filtration system will withstand up to 125 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure. If your water supply pressure is higher than
80 psi, install a pressure reducing valve before installing the water filtration system.
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
• DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants:
• DO NOT use with water that is microbiologicaly unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified
for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
NOTICE
NOTICE
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
• Read and follow Use Instructions provided with the original system prior to use of this replacement cartridge.
• Change the disposable filter cartridge at the recommended interval; the disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 24 months or sooner.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and failure of the filter, causing
property damage from water leakage or flooding.
• Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 33° F (4.4° C).
• DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110° F (43.3° C).
• DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (37.8°C).
• DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 125 psi (862 kPa). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (552 kPa), you must install a pressure limiting valve.
Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The RO membrane cartridges have green labels and will only t into the head on the right side of the manifold (head has a green 3M label).

Routine Maintenance Cartridge Change-out Instructions (Pre-Filter and RO Membrane Cartridge)
To Attach Tubing To Release Tubing
Push tubing straight in as far as it
will go
Tubing is secured in. Push in collet to release tubing. Pull tubing straight out.
This product is outtted with a user friendly ‘Push In’ connector at the vent valve. Proper use of the connectors is shown in the gure below.
It is most important that the tubing selected for use with these connectors be of high quality, exact size and roundness, and with no surface
nicks or scratches. If it is necessary to cut the tubing, use a plastic tubing cutter or sharp razor knife. Make a clean square cut. Should a
leak occur at a “Push-In” connector, the cause is usually a problem with the tubing.
To Fix:
1. Relieve pressure 2. Release tubing 3. Cut off at least 1/4” from end
4. Reattach tubing 5. Conrm connection is leak free
Figure 9 (How to Use “Push-in” Connectors)
4. Remove sanitary cap from new RO membrane cartridge. Ensure o-rings are seated into their grooves and lubricate with water. Remove plug
from new RO membrane cartridge. Install with a quarter turn to the right until RO membrane cartridge comes to a complete stop.
NOTE: RO membrane cartridges are keyed to t in proper location only.
5. Remove the old ow control from the elbow and discard. Install the new ow control, included with the new RO membrane cartridge, in the
elbow (See Figure 2)
6. Connect reject tubing with elbow to RO membrane cartridge.
7. Flush membrane by opening pressure tank sample valve and empty tank to drain. After ushing the system for at least 24 hours, close the
