_, The Home Ddnldng Water System works on
water pressure of 40 psi (minimum) to 125 psi
"(maximum). See the table on page 17. Ifyour
house water pressure is over the maximum,
install a pressure reducing valve in the water
supply to the Home Drinking Water System.

eratures. Temperature of the water supply to
the Home DrinkingWater System must be be-
twean 40OF(minimum) and 100OF(maximum).

page 17 and be sure yourwater supply can-
forms. Please read WATER SUPPLY, page 4.
WHAT YOUR HOME DRINKING WATER SYSTEM WILL DO I
Your Home Drinking Water System is a REVERSE
OSMOSIS (RO) water treating unit. It uses
household water pressure to reverse a natural
physical process called Osmosis. Water, under
pressure, isforced through • eami-permeable mem-
brane where minerals and impurities are screen-
ed out and sent down the drain with the waste
water. These minerals and impurities am measured
as total dissolved solids (TDS).
The system includes replaceable pre and postfiiter
sediment-carbon cartridges. The prefilter removes
sand, dirt, rust particles and other sediments. Italso
takes ohlodne out of the feed water. The postfliter
removes any remaining tastes and/or odors just
before water istaken from the system faucet. The
storage area holds almost I gallon of RO product
water for your needs.
The undersink system connects to e house COLD
water pipe for a water supply. An automatic shutoff
valve prevents water waste when the storage area
is full and the faucet is closed.
The drinking water system gives you acontinuous
supply of sparkling clear, delicious water for ddnk-
Ing and cooking. Foods will look better and taste
better too. The system eliminates the neadto buy
bottled water, instead, It puts highqualitywater right
at your fingertips.
NOTE: A product data sheet is included, and also
available from Seam. The data sheet listswhat this
RO system will remove (or reduce) from the water.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR
The electronic model has 2 water quality eansure,
located in the electronicbox. Indicator lightson the
faucet base work with the sensors, or probes, to
show you when water quality isgood, and when the
system needs servicing.
As you take water from the RO faucet, a flashing
green light means the system is g'Mng you high
quality RO water. Over 8 bedod of time, the RO
membrane, prefiiter cartddge and postfilter begin
to _efficiency. Rashing amber lightS(see pages
12, 13 and 14) tell youwhen to service the RO mem-
brane end filters.

COLD water supply pipe and drain point within 6
feet. Where speoe islimited,you can lay it on a shelf
or floor. Locate the assembly so you can easily get
to It to change filters.
The RO System weighs about 40 Ibs. when foil of
