RO SYSTEM BASICS
CAUTION Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
BASICS
The performance of the RO System can be characterized and
judged by the quality and quantity of the water produced by the
system. By measuring the contaminant removal performance
and flow rates of the system, its operating status can be easily
evaluated.
FACTORS WHICH AFFECT PERFORMANCE
Performance of the reverse osmosis membrane is affected by
several factors which must be considered when judging the
condition of the system. The main factors which affect system
performance are pressure, temperature, total dissolved solids
level, recovery and pH.
PRESSURE
Water pressure affects both the quantity and quality of the
water produced by the RO membrane. Generally, the
more water pressure, the better the performance of the
system. Be careful not to go below 40 psi or exceed 100 psi, the
minimum and maximum operating pressure of the system.
TEMPERATURE
The reverse osmosis process slows with decreasing
temperature. To compensate, a temperature correction factor
is used to adjust the actual performance of the RO membrane
filter to the standard temperature of 77°F (25°C). This allows
the performance of the unit to be accurately gauged against
published standards. Temperature does not affect the
concentrate flow rate.
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS
The minimum driving force which is necessary to stop or
reverse the natural osmosis process is termed osmotic
pressure. As the total dissolved solids level of the feed water
increases, the amount of osmotic pressure increases and acts
as back pressure against the reverse osmosis process.
Osmotic pressure becomes significant at TDS levels above
500 mg/L (ppm).
HARDNESS
Hardness is the most common membrane foulant. If ignored,
this relatively harmless component of feed water will scale
a membrane over time. Use of a softener will reduce the
fouling effect on a membrane. One way to detect too much
hardness in the feed water is the weight of a membrane
installed for a period of time. A fouled membrane (dried) will
weigh significantly more than a new membrane. The increase
in weight is a result of precipitated hardness inside the
membrane.
IRON
Iron is another common membrane foulant. There are a variety
of types of iron, some of which cannot be removed by an iron
filter. Clear water iron can be removed more effectively by a
softener. Particulate iron can be removed more effectively by
a 1 micron filter. Organic- bound iron can be removed only by
activated carbon or macroporous anion resin. If there is enough
iron to exceed the EPA secondary drinking water standard and
softening the water is not an option and the iron is soluble, then
an iron filter is appropriate. If none of these are an option then
regular replacement of membranes will have to be accepted.
PRODUCT WATER RECOVERY
Product water recovery plays an important role in determining
membrane and system performance. Recovery refers to the
amount of water produced in relation to the amount of water
sent to drain. The standard calculation is:
% Recovery = Product Water ÷ (Product Water + Waste Water) x 100
The system uses a flow control assembly to restrict the flow
of waste water to the drain. This restriction helps maintain
pressure against the membrane. The sizing of the flow control
assembly determines the recovery rating of the system. The
system is manufactured with a recovery rating designed to
be around 25%. Depending on temperature, pressure and
tolerances the actual recovery value may be slightly different
for each system.
ATTENTION RO SYSTEM CUSTOMER:
This system is intended for use on potable water supplies
or disinfected water containing cysts. Do not use where
water is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown
quality. If bacterial contamination is present, a recognized
method of water disinfection is required.
Check with your public works department for applicable
local plumbing and sanitation codes. Follow your local
codes if they differ from the standards used in this manual.
The Titan RO System contains a replaceable reverse
osmosis membrane filter which is critical for the effective
reduction of Total Dissolved Solids. The filtered water
should be tested periodically to verify that the system is
performing properly.
NOTE
Increased weight of the RO cartridge may
be a foulant other than hardness.

NOTE
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR
INSTALLATION: DETERMINE THE CORRECT LOCATION
• AIRGAP FAUCET – The faucet is designed
to be mounted on the rear lip of the sink.
It may be installed in an existing sprayer
attachment hole or in a hole drilled at the time
of installation. It may also be mounted to an
adjacent counter top. It should be positioned
so that water is dispensed over the sink. A 7/8”
diameter hole is required.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
• Access to the bottom (undersink) of the
faucet is required for attachment of product
water line
.
• There should be no undersink obstructions
which would prevent smooth tubing runs to the
drain connection, or RO module assembly.
FILTER SYSTEM ASSEMBLY – The filter system
assembly is designed to be mounted on
any rigid vertical surface such as a cabinet
sidewall, sheetrock in exposed stud. It should
be positioned such that there is access to an
inlet water source and drain. The installation
should also allow convenient access for
servicing.
INLET WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION – Once a
location is chosen for installation of the filter
system assembly, select a nearby cold water
line to provide the water source for the system.
THE RESERVOIR TANK – Position the reservoir
tank near the faucet for optimum convenience.
The reservoir tank will weigh about 28 pounds
(13 kg) when full of water, so it must be
positioned on a stand.
The reservoir operates best in the vertical
position, but it will operate on its side.
DRAIN CONNECTION – The most convenient entry
to the drain is directly above the P-trap of the
kitchen sink. However, the drain water from
the system can be connected to adjacent sinks
or a floor drain. Extra care should be taken
when entering drains near dishwashers or
food waste disposals as back flow may occur
through the air gap and cause flooding.

OVERVIEW OF THE TITAN RO SYSTEM COMPONENTS
LINE PRESSURE MODEL - BPUSS400
1. MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY
The manifold assembly serves as the functional hub by
directing the flow through each of the system’s main
components.
1A. DRAIN LINE FLOW CONTROL
The flow control assembly or concentrate flow control
regulates the flow rate of the flushing (drain) stream and to
maintain pressure in the RO membrane filter. This is located
inside the manifold assembly.
1B. AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
The automatic shutoff automatically stops the flow of water
when the storage tank is full. This is located inside the
manifold assembly.
NOTE: The power and work buttons on the manifold front are
active only with the Booster Pump Model BPUSS400BP
2. SEDIMENT FILTER
The sediment filter screens out particulate material, such
as dirt, sand, or rust, which may clog the other filters in the
system.
3. ACTIVATED CARBON PREFILTER
The activated carbon prefilter reduces chlorine which may
damage the RO membrane filter. It must be regularly checked
and/or replaced to prevent premature membrane failure and
poor water quality.
4. REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE
The RO membrane reduces dissolved substances and other
microscopic impurities. It consists of a membrane envelope
wound around a perforated tube. Product water diffuses
through the membrane to the inside of the envelope where it
flows to and is collected by the tube. Impurities are flushed
away in the drain stream.
The RO membrane offers exceptional contaminant rejection,
application versatility, and long life. The membrane material
is sensitive to an attack by chlorine. The activated carbon filter
must be maintained properly to prevent premature failure of
the RO membrane.
For long term storage the RO membrane should be
refrigerated to maximize performance once used.
[ DO NOT ALLOW TO FREEZE. ]
This preservative must be flushed from membrane
before use. If ingested it may cause irritation of
the gastrointestinal tract, colic, diarrhea, or other
similar symptoms. The manufacturer recommends
discarding all the product water for at least one
hour of operation before drinking or use in food
preparations. We highly recommend discarding
the product water for a full 24 hours to flush the
preservative and to properly hydrate the membrane
for maximum performance.
NOTE
5. POLISHING FILTER
The polishing filter adsorbs any residual tastes and
odors just before the water is delivered through the
faucet.
6. STORAGE TANK
The storage tank collects and stores the water
produced by the RO system. A compressed air
diaphragm drives the water to the polishing filter and
faucet. The ball valve provides a convenient
way to lock water in the tank during transport and
filter changes.
7. SHUT OFF VALVE
To Control the flow from Manifold, Faucet to the tank.
Cleanliness is essential in the preparation
procedure. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly
before handling filters. The use of surgical gloves is
strongly recommended.
NOTE
AIRGAP FAUCET
The faucet allows the product
water to be drawn from the system
with a simple rotation of the handle.
We recommend an air gap style faucet
which prevents the unit from siphoning
drain water back into the system.
It features a built-in siphon break
for concentrate discharge as required
by most plumbing codes.

1. Select and mark the proper
faucet location.
2. Center punch hole to provide a
starting point for your drill.
3. Drill a 7/8” hole in the sink using a
stepped 7/8” drill bit. If no stepped
bit is available, start by drilling a 1/4”
hole. Using this hole as a starting point
progressively drill larger holes.
Increase drill size by 1/8” until you reach
a 7/8” hole.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL SINK
Follow these basic guidelines when drilling a porcelain sink:
Pilot Drill
Spring Loaded Porcelain Saw Finish Hole Saw
Penetrate the porcelain to the
base material. Protect the surrounding porcelain material.
Use the appropriate tool to drill
the base material.
ONE PROVEN TOOL IS THE RELTON PORCELAIN CUTTER KIT
WHEN USED WITH A SLOW SPEED DRILL (300-400 RPM).
• Drill a pilot hole through the porcelain and base material with the carbide tip
drill.
• Build a putty dam around the drill area. Add enough water to lubricate
cutters and reduce cutting noise.
• Insert the porcelain cutter into the drill. Place the drill tip in the pilot hole.
Check for free movement.
• Apply light pressure to the cutter tool and start the drill motor at low speed
(300-400 rpm). When the initial cut has been made in the porcelain,
speed may be increased. After a complete ring has been cut through the
porcelain, change over to the metal cutter. Avoid contacting the outer rim
of cut porcelain when drilling.
• Use a slow speed and light pressure to cut away the porcelain.
• Stop when you reach the metal under the porcelain. Remove the cutter and
clean the porcelain chips from the surface. Continue cutting through the
metal.
CAUTION
Avoid high drill speed during penetration of
porcelain. A single speed drill can be used at a
slow speed by switching it on and off quickly.
Ceramic tile counters should be treated like
porcelain when penetrating the surface, then treated
as metal to complete the hole with carbide drills.
Formica countertops can be drilled with a high-speed
wood drill.

rubber washer above sink (items 1-4).
2. Install plastic washer, lock washer and nut (items 5-7) onto
faucet stem below sink and tighten. Be sure to properly
align the faucet.
3. Install the faucet adapter (item 8). Connect the 3/8” tubing
to the faucet adapter.
If installing a standard faucet the 1/4” drain line
will be installed directly to the drain. Disregard the
instructions on the following page.
NOTE

FAUCET INSTALLATION - STEP 1
Remove white protective film from faucet base. Verify faucet body, metal
base, and rubber base washer are in place above sink.
Lower faucet into mounting hole and place faucet over hole.
Install slotted washer, spacer, faucet washer, and nut onto faucet nipple
below sink and snug them up. Be sure to properly align faucet before
tightening. Do not over tighten.
Install faucet connector, packaged with faucet, onto faucet nipple.
The spacer is typically necessary on stainless steel sinks and thin counter
tops. If counter top or sink is too thin (5/8” or thicker) remove the spacer
from the installation.
CAUTION
Plastic Parts will break
if screws are over tightened!
TUBING CONNECTIONS
1. At the bottom of the faucet assembly you will find three tubing
connections; 2 are barbed and one is a push in type fitting.
2. For the Air gap you will use the 2 barb fittings, the smaller fitting is for
the 1/4” tubing and will be connected to the RO system. The larger barb
fitting will use the 3/8” tubing and will be connected to the drain.
3. Take another length of 3/8” tubing and make sure it is has a fresh
cut and is free of foreign materials and any scratches on the outside
surface. Install the tubing into the push in type fitting at the base of the
faucet. Make certain that it is inserted all the way in; once inserted give
it a slight pull to make sure it is locked into the fitting. You have now
completed the tubing connections.
If you have difficulty fitting the tubing onto the
barbed fittings, try running hot water over
the end of the tubes.
NOTE
NOTE
Cut the tubing to be longer than what you will need
because you will be able to trim it after you install
the faucet assembly. Prepare the tubing with a fresh
cut and make sure that it is free of dirt and
any foreign materials.

NOTE
To disconnect tubing from the product water fitting,
hold the collet firmly against fitting body and pull
the tube from the fitting. Repeated assembly and
disassembly will cause wear to the inner body.
Visually inspect for excessive wear and replace the
inner body as needed to protect against any leaks.
