3/8” tubing. This is the puried water line. *NOTE* Depending on the style pump used, if there is no high-
pressure switch, ensure that the reservoir has an emergency high-level overow drain. An emergency
overow drain will allow the treated water to safely go down the drain if the product water reservoir or
storage tank becomes too full. If the pump has a high-pressure switch, you can install a oat valve in the
reservoir or storage tank.
6. Install the white ng on the right side of the unit. DO NOT over-ghten. Follow the pre-installed back tubing
to the “U” shaped ng and connect ng to the ARCS unit.
7. Upon turning the system on, it will take several gallons to ll the canisters of the system and the UV. Flush the
ltraon system with condensate water or RO water prior to using the treated water. DO NOT use raw city or
well water, as this will drascally reduce the life of the lters in each stage. Run the product water line to the
drain for this ush. We recommend running at least 5 gallons through the ARCS to drain.
8. Aer the ush is done, run the product water line to the reservoir and use the water for irrigaon or any other
applicaon.
9. Brand new HVAC systems can contain a fair amount of oil from the manufacturing process. In order to not
clog the ARCS lters, please discard the rst 100 gallons of condensate water from the HVAC down the drain,
and NOT through the ARCS.
MAINTENANCE:
In order for the ARCS to produce quality water, it is necessary to monitor the amount of water produced by the system.
This can be done with an inline ow meter/lter monitor that is available as an accessory. Without regular lter changes,
the quality of the product water will drascally drop, allowing harmful bacteria and metals to be discharged into product
water.
Stage 1) Sediment Cartridge- replace every 5,000 gallons (average). If you noce the condensate water is unusually
dirty you may need to replace this more oen. We suggest replacing it a minimum of every 6 months, as good
pracce.
Stage 2) Heavy Metal Reducon Cartridge – replace every 10,000 gallons (average)
Stage 3) pH Neutralizing / Remineralizing Cartridge - replace every 10,000 gallons (average)
Stage 4) If the UV Sterilizer is always on the bulb lasts approximately 8,000 hours. For saey and to extend the life
of the lamp , the ow sensor will automacally the lamp down if sucent ow is not met. Ballast indicates when
to change. Follow the instrucon manual for the UV system.
MAXIMUM CAPACITY:
The condensate water feed ow rate shall not exceed 2.0 GPM. Upon a higher condensate ow rate, another ARCS can
be added to increase ltraon capacity. Addional ARCS retain the same basic installaon instrucons; do not plumb
addional ARCS in line. They should be plumbed parallel.

WARRANTY:
A One Year Warranty comes with each ARCS system lter unit against manufacturer’s defects. This does not include
clogged lters due to lack of regular maintenance or excessive sediment and/or contaminants in water. This warranty
also excludes damage to units caused by using the unit outside of the specied parameters.
