1.1 Manual Definitions
NOTE: This symbol points out important information for working with the system in a proper
manner.

1.2 Introduction
This system is designed to pretreat and purify water for use in sterile processing applications. The
system is shipped with required water treatment components. If the system will be running without
softened water, the PT401 system will need to be connected inside of the RO. This Operation
Manual was written specifically for the ROS model. Your system was thoroughly tested and in
excellent condition when it was shipped to you. However, because damage during shipment is
possible, please unpack and carefully inspect the system as soon as you receive it. Please notify
AmeriWater if any problems are encountered.
Please read the Operation Manual before using the system. Contact AmeriWater Customer
Service with any questions at 1-800-535-5585 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time. For after-hours emergencies call 1-800-535-5585 and follow the instructions on the recorded
message. Our on-call technician will return your call as soon as possible. This entire Operation
Manual should be read before operating or servicing the system. This Operation Manual should
then be kept near the system and used as a reference and troubleshooting guide.
WARNING: This Reverse Osmosis System (RO) contains a preservative solution to prevent
microbiological growth and freezing. Discard all product water for at least two hours of
operation before placing the RO in service.
