About the A200 Drinking Water System
Water is the most important resource liquid in the world.
And although the water you use for drinking and cooking
constutes less than one percent of all water used in the
home, its quality is probably most important to you.
Experts suggest you drink approximately eight, eight-
ounce glasses of water per day. Now that you have an
A200 Drinking Water System, you can rest assured you’re
drinking clean, high quality water. And it will taste great
too. With an A200 Drinking Water System, drinking those
eight glasses of water will be a pleasure, not a chore.

Since A200 Drinking Water Systems signicantly reduce heavy metals (such as lead),
chemicals, minerals, and unpleasant tastes and odors in your water*, you may want
to make some adjustments when using A200 Drinking Water when cooking.
* The contaminants listed are not necessarily in your water.
Let your taste buds decide how much water to use.
When mixing concentrated juices and
drinks or making gelan, tea or coee,
you may need to adjust the amount of
water used. You may nd that you can use
less coee or tea and sll get the desired
taste. Or in the case of concentrated
drinks, you can add more water without
geng a watered-down taste. Also, it
probably won’t be necessary for you to
descale your automac coee maker with
vinegar as recommended.
A200 Drinking Water is ideal for cooking and baking.
Don’t forget to use water from your A200 Drinking Water System for cooking
pasta, and washing fruits and vegetables. Whenever a recipe calls for water,
reach for your special drinking water tap.
Use A200 Drinking Water in irons and small humidiers/vaporizers.
For extended operaon and easier maintenance, use A200 Drinking Water
in irons and small humidiers. You’ll no longer have to buy dislled water or
suer the consequences of using common tap water in irons and humidiers.
Since water produced by your system has a reduced mineral content, it’s ideal
for use in these appliances and it’s available right at your kitchen sink.

Make ice cubes with A200 Drinking Water.
If your refrigerator/freezer is equipped with an ice maker, you may want to
consider running a line from your system to the ice maker. If you don’t have
an ice maker, be sure to ll your ice cube trays with Kineco Drinking Water.
Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy beer tasng and clearer ice cubes.
Houseplants and pets like Kineco Drinking Water too.
Don’t forget about your plants and pets. Just like you, they’ll
love Kineco Drinking Water.

A200 Drinking Water Systems oer ve stages of protecon to ensure you’re always
geng good, clean water. The system signicantly reduces the heavy metals,
chemicals, minerals, and objeconable tastes and odors that may be in your water.
See performance data sheet for individual contaminants and reducon performance.
Stage 1 – Prelter
The rst ltraon stage, the prelter (Part No: sediment 9309A, high capacity
carbon / sediment 9461A), prepares the water for the reverse osmosis process.
The ve-micron lter captures sediment and small parculate maer, and
reduces chlorine (high-capacity carbon / sediment only) protecng the reverse
osmosis membrane and enhancing its performance.
Stage 2 – Reverse Osmosis Membrane
Aer preltraon, the water travels to the reverse osmosis membrane
cartridge where the primary cleaning is performed. Here, water is forced
through a semipermeable membrane under pressure, many or most minerals,
chemicals or objeconable maer that might have been in your water are
ushed down the drain.
Stage 3 – Storage Tank
Aer the water is processed, it is stored in a tank unl needed. Kineco’s
storage tank turnover feature keeps the water from becoming stale.

Stage 4 – Posilter Polisher
Aer leaving the storage tank, the water travels to the posilter (Part No.
9306B). Containing acvated carbon, the posilter gives a nal polish to your
water, further reducing unpleasant tastes and odors.
Stage 5 – Faucet
The nal protecon stage is a custom, decorator, lead-free tap, which is
mounted on your sink. With this tap, you can be sure that lead won’t be added
into your drinking water.
Demand Operaon Means Added Eciency
A200 Drinking Water Systems are non-electric and demand-operated, which
means they operate according to your usage. With demand-operaon, A200
Drinking Water Systems produce high quality drinking water, while they
maximize water eciency and performance.
Automac System Shutdown Conserves Water
When the storage tank is full, your A200 Drinking Water System shuts down.
It will begin making water again when the storage tank has been parally
emped. A storage tank turnover feature ensures fresher, beer-tasng water
and prevents unnecessary connuous water producon. Unlike other systems,
processed water is not constantly sent to drain.

Quick Disconnect Filter Cartridges Make Maintenance Easy
Filter changes are a snap on the A200 Drinking Water
System. Aer fully depressurizing your system, change
cartridges simply by twisng them one-quarter turn
and pulling downward. Detailed instrucons are
provided with each replacement cartridge. Addional
informaon is supplied in this owner’s manual under
“Filter Changes.”
System Accessories
Your system may also include the following upgrades, which are available from your
local Kineco dealer.
Decorator Finish, Lead-free Drinking Water Taps
If your system was upgraded with a Kineco decorator tap, rotate the handle to
dispense your drinking water. Decorator taps are available in Classic Chrome,
San Nickel/ Stainless, Brilliant Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Brass,
Arcc White, Light Biscuit and Black Licorice.
Oversized Storage Tank*
A larger storage tank supplies more water on demand for larger families, but
funcons like the standard tank. There’s no need to do anything special to your
system. Simply enjoy your clean, clear drinking water.
*System accessory is not WQA cered.

NOTE: You must follow the A200 Drinking Water System’s operaonal, maintenance and
replacement instrucons to ensure proper system performance. Recommended
hardness is zero to 10 gpg for extended product life. Do not use where water is
microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality. Systems claiming cyst
reducon may be used on disinfected water containing lterable cysts.
The A200 Drinking Water System must be properly maintained to connue providing
high quality drinking water.

If you should ever discover a problem with your drinking water system, turn o the
water supply to the system. Then call your authorized Kineco dealer for service. If
you plan to be away from home for more than a few days, shut o the water supply to
your system to extend its life. You may also want to drain the drinking water storage
tank upon your return to ensure the freshest water.
Booster Pumps
Some households require booster pumps to ensure that adequate feed pressure is
being supplied to the system. Unplug or turn o the power supply to any pumps
before aempng to service your system.

An average family of four with average drinking water use can expect the prelter
and posilter cartridges to last approximately nine months to one year. Kineco
recommends annual cartridge replacements for these cartridges. The reverse osmosis
membrane cartridge should be replaced when the system stops properly reducing
dissolved solids.
Your local, authorized Kineco dealer will change your cartridges, completely
sanize your system, check your water and make sure your system is operang
properly. If you choose to install your new cartridges yourself, follow the
instrucons carefully. Never aempt to remove any of the system’s cartridges
without rst depressurizing the system. Be sure to completely sanize
your system by following the instrucons provided in the “Sanizaon
Procedure” secon of this owner’s manual to prevent contaminaon from
human contact.

If you choose to change the cartridges on your A200 Drinking Water System yourself,
you must use a sanizaon kit available from your Kineco dealer. Follow the
instrucons to fully sanize your system. Wash your hands thoroughly and do not
touch any internal porons of the system. Or call your local, authorized Kineco
dealer who can change the necessary lters, disinfect your system and analyze your
water to be sure it is of the best quality.
WARNING: To avoid possible injury and property damage. This system must be properly
depressurized before aempng to remove any cartridge or other component.
NOTE: Be prepared to catch any water when disconnecng and sanizing your system.
A. Remove the decorave cover. Close the cold water supply valve. Open the
drinking water tap to drain the storage tank. Wait unl all the ow stops at
the open tap before connuing (this may take several minutes).
B. Remove the prelter and posilter cartridges 1. Be prepared to catch
accidental water spills when removing the cartridges. Discard the cartridges.
Remove the membrane cartridge from the center of the bracket assembly
2. Drain this cartridge into a pan or the sink and retain it for reinstallaon
later in this procedure.
C. Fill the sanizer cartridges full with clean water. Add 1 dropper (5 mL) of
regular, unscented household bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) to the
center of each cartridge 3. Install the sanizer cartridges into the prelter,
posilter and membrane heads 4.
D. Close the drinking water tap. Be sure the storage tank valve is open. Slowly
open the cold water supply valve and allow chlorinated water to ll the
storage tank for approximately four to ve minutes.
E. Close the cold water supply valve and the storage tank valve. Open the
tap to depressurize the system. Remove the sanizer cartridges 5.
Be prepared to catch accidental spills from these cartridges. Drain the
cartridges. Set aside one of the cartridges for use in Step G. Retain the other
two sanizer cartridges for future use. Close the tap.
F. Install the new posilter cartridge into the posilter head on the right-hand
side of the bracket manifold. Install the membrane cartridge into the center
of the bracket manifold 6.
G. Mix 1/3 cup clean water with one level teaspoon of Iron Out or sodium
metabisulte. Add this soluon to the sanizer cartridge le from Step E.
A small, plasc household funnel or the dropper provided in Kineco’s
sanizaon kit may aid in adding soluon to the cartridge. Be sure to
throughly wash the funnel before using for any other purpose. Add enough
clean water to this cartridge to ll it and install it to the prelter head 7.

H. Disconnect the tubing from the storage tank valve and put the tubing end
into a bucket or pan. Open the cold water supply valve and allow the product
water to discharge from the tubing into the bucket or pan for 15 to 20
minutes. This should adequately ush the sanizaon soluon through the
membrane. Close the cold water supply valve aer this me. Reconnect the
tubing to the storage tank valve. If the tubing end is scarred or scratched, cut
away the damaged end before connecng it to the tank.
IMPORTANT: You must properly rinse the membrane sanizing soluon
from the membrane. DO NOT drink the water from the
system during this rinsing procedure.
NOTE: The serial number is located on the data plate that is aached to the
inside of the bracket cover. If your system is installed on a chlorinated
water supply, use a high capacity carbon/sediment prelter
(Part No. 9461A) to remove the chlorine before the membrane.
If your system is installed on a non-chlorinated water supply, use a
sediment prelter cartridge (Part No. 9309A).
Using a carbon/sediment prelter on an unchlorinated supply may
cause a bacteria/odor problem.
A200 reverse osmosis systems can only be used for arsenic reducon
on chlorinated water supplies containing detectable residual free
chlorine at the system inlet. This chlorine must be removed with a
high-capacity carbon/sediment prelter (Part No. 9461A).
I. Remove the sanizer cartridge from the prelter head on the le-hand
side of the system and install the new prelter cartridge 8.
J. Open the tap. Open the cold water supply valve.
K. Open the valve on the tank. The tank should now be discharging water
through the open drinking water tap. This will ush away any carbon nes
from the new posilter cartridge. When the ow slows to a drip, close
the tap. Allow the system to ll the storage tank for several hours. Discard
the water in the tank aer this me. A four (4) tank ush is required per
installaon instrucons. Allow the system to ll the tank and begin enjoying
your clean, clear water.

de boisson
L’eau est le liquide le plus important de toute la terre. De
plus, bien que l’eau ulisée pour boire et cuisiner
représente moins de 1% de toute l’eau ulisée dans un
domicile, sa qualité est probablement d’une grande
importance pour vous.
Les experts suggèrent que vous buviez environ huit verres
d’eau de 250 ml par jour. Maintenant que vous possédez
un système d’eau de boisson A200, vous êtes assuré de
toujours avoir une eau propre, de qualité supérieure,
ayant également bon goût. Grâce un système d’eau de
boisson A200, la consommaon de vos huit verres d’eau
quodiens sera un plaisir, jamais une corvée.

Puisque le système d’eau de boisson A200 réduit considérablement la teneur en
métaux lourds (par exemple, le plomb), en produits chimiques et en minéraux*,
tout en éliminant les odeurs et le goût désagréable de l’eau, voici certaines
modicaons que nous vous suggérons d’apporter à vos habitudes lorsque vous
ulisez l’eau de boisson A200.
*Les contaminants énumérés ne se retrouvent pas nécessairement dans votre eau.
Laissez vos papilles gustaves décider de votre consommaon en eau.
Lorsque vous mélangez des boissons ou
des jus concentrés, ainsi que lorsque vous
ajoutez de l’eau pour fabriquer une gélane,
du café ou du thé, il est possible que vous
deviez changer les volumes d’eau ulisés. Il
se peut que vous ayez besoin d’uliser moins
de thé ou de café pour avoir un bon goût. En
ce qui concerne les boissons concentrées,
il est possible que vous puissiez ajouter
plus d’eau sans avoir de goût « dilué ». En
outre, vous n’aurez sans doute plus besoin
de détartrer votre machine à café avec du
vinaigre, comme le recommande le fabricant.

L’eau de boisson A200 est idéale pour la cuisine et les pâsseries.
N’oubliez pas d’uliser l’eau votre système d’eau de boisson A200 lorsque vous
faire cuire des pâtes ou que vous lavez vos fruits et légumes. Dès qu’une recee
comporte de l’eau, dirigez votre main vers le robinet spécial A200.
Ulisez l’eau de boisson A200 dans votre fer à repasser, ainsi que dans
les pets humidicateurs ou vaporisateurs.
Pour prolonger la longévité de vos appareils et en faciliter l’entreen, ulisez
de l’eau A200 dans votre fer à repasser et dans les pets humidicateurs. Vous
n’aurez plus besoin d’acheter de l’eau disllée ni à supporter les inconvénients
de l’eau municipale. Puisque l’eau produite par votre système A200 ache une
teneur réduite en minéraux, elle est idéale pour ces pets électroménagers et
elle est disponible directement dans votre cuisine.
Faites vos cubes de glace avec de l’eau de boisson A200.
Si votre réfrigérateur est équipé d’une machine à glace, songez à installer une
canalisaon entre votre système A200 et la machine à glace. Si vous n’avez pas
de machine à glace, n’oubliez pas de remplir vos bacs à glace avec de l’eau de
boisson A200. Quel que soit votre équipement, vous pourrez toujours avoir
des cubes de glace plus transparents, sans arrière-goût.
Les plantes et les animaux de compagnie aiment aussi l’eau
de boisson A200.
N’oubliez pas vos plantes et vos animaux. Tout comme
vous, ils adorent l’eau de boisson A200.

Le système d’eau de boisson A200 comporte cinq niveaux de protecon pour garanr
que vous ayez toujours une bonne eau propre. Le système réduit considérablement
la teneur en métaux lourds, en produits chimiques et en minéraux, tout en éliminant
les odeurs et le goût douteux que peut avoir votre eau. Consulter la che technique
de performances pour obtenir plus de détails sur chacun des contaminants et sur les
performances de réducon.
Étape 1 – Le préltre
La première étape de ltraon, réalisée avec le préltre (Pièce n°: sédiment
9309A, charbon/sédiment 9461A), prépare l’eau pour le processus d’osmose
inverse. Le ltre avec des pores de cinq microns reent les sédiments et les
petes parcules, an de protéger la membrane d’osmose inverse et d’en
maximiser l’ecacité.

Étape 2 – La membrane à osmose inverse
Après la préltraon, l’eau se dirige vers la cartouche contenant la
membrane d’osmose inverse, où sera eectué le premier neoyage. Ici,
l’eau est poussée par pression dans une membrane semi-perméable. Cee
membrane permet d’éliminer une bonne pare des minéraux, produits
chimiques et corps étrangers pouvant se retrouver dans votre eau.
Étape 3 – Le réservoir de stockage
Lorsque l’eau a été traitée, elle est conservée dans un réservoir jusqu’au
moment de son ulisaon. Pour éviter que l’eau ne devienne stagnante, elle
circule dans le réservoir.
Étape 4 – L’épurateur de post-ltre
Lorsque l’eau quie le réservoir, elle se dirige vers un post-ltre
(Pièce n° 9306B). Contenant du charbon acf, le post-ltre ajoute une touche nale
au traitement de l’eau, réduisant sa teneur en chlore, en plus d’éliminer les
odeurs et le goût désagréable, s’il y a lieu.
Étape 5 – Le robinet
La dernière protecon est un robinet spécial sans plomb, installé sur votre
évier. Grâce à ce robinet, vous êtes assuré qu’aucune parcule de plomb sera
ajoutée à votre eau de boisson après son traitement
Le fonconnement sur demande permet d’avoir une ecacité maximale
Les systèmes d’eau de boisson A200 fonconnent sur demande, sans
électricité, ce qui signie qu’ils fonconnent selon vos besoins. Grâce à ce
fonconnement sur demande, les systèmes d’eau de boisson A200 produisent
une eau de boisson de qualité supérieure, tout en opmisant la consommaon
en eau.
Le système d’arrête automaque permet d’économiser l’eau
Lorsque le réservoir est plein, votre système d’eau de boisson A200 s’arrête
automaquement. Il recommencera à produire de l’eau uniquement lorsque
le réservoir sera presque vide. Grâce à ce vidage successif du réservoir, vous
êtes assuré d’avoir une eau fraîche au goût agréable, sans qu’il soit nécessaire
d’avoir une producon d’eau connue et inule. Contrairement à d’autres
systèmes, l’eau traitée n’est pas constamment envoyée aux égouts.
