Before using your equipment
Read all safety information and follow the instructions described in this Owner’s Manu-
al prior to installing and using the Premier Reverse Osmosis equipment.
It is important that before installation and setup, you check the box and the condition
of the equipment, in order to guarantee that it has not been damaged during trans-
port. Be sure to have the equipment installed by qualified personnel; failure to install
the system as instructed could invalidate the warranty, and the company shall not be
liable for any damage caused by the improper use of the equipment.
ATTENTION: If the water to be treated does not come from a public water supply or is
of unknown origin, it will be necessary to carry out further bacteriological and chemical
analysis of the water to ensure its correct purification, PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION of
the equipment. Please contact your dealer for advice on the most appropriate solution
for your situation.
Conditions for correct equipment operation:
• This product is for domestic use to treat municipal water; for requirements beyond
normal home usage, please consult your dealer.
• This water purifier should be installed on level ground, and should not be assemb-
led suspended or upside down. Do not place heavy loads on top to avoid damage to
the equipment.
• Water treatment equipment should never be installed in direct sunlight, near a heat
source, or in a locationwhere it might be exposed to hazardous chemicals or dama-
ged by falling items.
• WATER: water should be >5⁰C and <38⁰C.
• EXTERIOR: The ambient temperature must be between 4⁰C and 40⁰C. When the
water temperature or ambient temperature drop below 5⁰C, please close the water
supply line of this water purifier and drain the water in the equipment. If the water
supply line or the water purifier freezes, it may cause damage, failure, and possibly
even damage to the home beyond the equipment itself.

6
• Before use, please make sure that the voltage supplied is correct. Only use the origi-
nal power adapter and verify that there is no damage to the power cord or plug. Re-
gularly check that there are no loose wires or damage to the power supply. In case
of any damage, do not continue to use the water purifier, and immediately contact
your dealer for testing and repair.
• Do not touch the power cord connector with wet hands, which may result in electric
shock.
• Never install this water purifier on a water supply line with water pressure greater
than 0.4MPa. If the inlet water pressure exceeds 0.4Mpa, a relief valve must be in-
stalled (to be purchased separately).
• Clean the water purifier with a damp cloth; do not spray liquids directly on the
equipment, nor use abrasive cleaning supplies or corrosive liquids such as acetone.
• For regular maintenance and filter changes of the water purifier, please contact
your dealer or another authorized after sales technical service provider. Replace-
ment of filters or other components must be done with authorized parts and acces-
sories; quality problems, reduced performance and damage resulting from the use
of unauthorized parts and accessories are not covered by the warranty.
• Do not take apart or modify the water purifier, which may cause malfunction or
leaks.
• The equipment must be periodically sanitized by qualified technical service per-
sonnel, and hygienic conditions must be maintained when handling parts of the
system that are in direct contact with water in order to reduce the risk of internal
contamination of the appliance.
• Any failure caused by improper use will not be covered by the warranty. Do not force
the power cord when unplugging.

How to install your Premier RO
Read all safety information and follow the instructions described in this Installation and
User Manual prior to installing and using the Premier Reverse Osmosis equipment.
Location of the equipment:
1. This equipment should not be installed lying down or tilted, as the leak sensor could
be disabled.
2. Because the unit weighs more when filled with water, the distribution of weight in
an unexpected position might cause a connection element to be forced out of posi-
tion, which could result in a malfunction or damage to equipment components, or
water leakage.
3. Under no circumstances should the equipment be installed outdoors.
Prepare the tools you will need for the installation:
• Teflon tape
• Screwdriver
• Wrench
• Tube scissors
• Electric torch
• Duster cloth
• Electric drill
ATTENTION: All tools to be used for assembly and installation must be clean, disinfec-
ted, and free of any grease or oil. The work must be carried out in hygienic conditions,
taking extreme precautions with everything related to materials and components that
may come in contact with the water to be treated or consumed. Avoid the risk of exter-
nal contamination of the equipment due to improper handling by using gloves, hand
sanitizer, or frequent hand washing.

Installation steps:
1. Close the cold water valve and remove the cold water hose from the valve.
2. Install the female end of the T-ball valve on the cold water valve and tighten it with a
wrench (do not miss the sealing gasket on the T-ball valve when installing).
3. Install the male end of the T-ball valve on the cold water hose and tighten it with a
wrench (do not miss the sealing gasket on the cold water hose when installing).
4. Pass the 3/8” PE tube through the ball nut on the T-ball valve and press into the
convex connector on the angle valve, pressing it to the end and tightening the ball
valve nut with a wrench.
5. The normal placement of the unit will be under the kitchen sink or in an attached
cabinet. Position the unit on level ground and in a location so that the electric and
hydraulic connections are orderly and untangled, and will not be disturbed by nor-
mal daily use. Do not place heavy loads on top, nor expose the equipment to chemi-
cals or direct heat.

11
6. Filter installation: Remove the plastic wrap and protective cap of each filter. Place
Filter 1 in the upper position, and Filter 2 in the lower position indicated in Figure
9. To properly install the filters, insert each filter all the way in its respective hou-
sing with the handle in a horizontal position, and once the filter cannot be pushed
further in, turn the handle 90 degrees clockwise, as indicated in Figure 9. Ensure
that only authorized filters are used as non-original spare parts may not fit the unit
correctly and may cause damage and leakage which will invalidate the warranty.
7. Water tubing installation: Trim all the PE tubing to an appropriate length, with a
smooth, flush cut as indicated in Figure 10:

12
8. Connect the loose end of the 3/8” PE tube to the Inlet water outlet on the unit with
the 3/8” clip, as shown in Figure 11.
9. Connect one end of the 1/4” red PE tube to the Waste water outlet on the unit with
the 1/4” clip, with the other end of the red PE tube connected to the wastewater dra-
in, as indicated in Figure 12.

13
10. Connect one end of the 1/4” white PE tube to the Pure water outlet on the unit with
the 1/4“ clip, with the other end of the white PE tube connected to the faucet with a
1/4” clip, as indicated in Figure 13 (faucet and corresponding clip are sold separately).
11. Check that the installation tubes are all properly connected and sealed, with no wa-
ter leakage at any of the joints. The wastewater outlet must be properly connected
to the drain; do not use water storage devices to catch water so as not to risk over-
flow damaging the unit.

14
Instructions for use
Once the unit is properly installed and before drinking the water produced by the
Premier Reverse Osmosis equipment for the first time, it is necessary to eliminate the
loose carbon dust that is generated during the transport and handling of the cartrid-
ges. Turn on the faucet connected to the unit and let the water run until the water runs
completely clear of carbon dust; this may require flushing the water for up to 20-30
minutes, depending on the situation.
While the unit is dispensing water to flush the carbon dust, be sure to carefully check
the seals and various connection points of the tubing by wiping them with tissue pa-
per to check for excess moisture. Once you have ensured that there is no continued
water dripping from the faucet after it is turned off, the commissioning of the unit is
complete.
DISPLAY STATUS
• Operation status indicator: will be illuminated blue while the equipment is dispen-
sing water
• Filter 1 and Filter 2 status indicators:
− Blue: normal filter life
− Purple: filter is nearing the end of its life, contact your dealer soon to replace
− Red: filter life is expired and is no longer working properly
• Water quality status indicator:
− Blue: excellent water quality
− Purple: adequate water quality
− Red: poor water quality

15
• Other status indicators:
− First power on: after powering on the unit, the unit will beep and the various dis-
play lights will illuminate at the same time, flashing 1 second through the various
states (blue-purple-red), and 3 seconds on the monochrome lamp.
− First system flush: The system will initially rinse the RO membrane for 5 minutes,
after which the faucet should be turned on for 30 minutes to rinse the filters. Du-
ring the rinsing, the water quality status indicator will flash blue.
− Standby: The water quality status indicator will turn off while the other indicators
will display real time status.
FILTER CHANGE PROCEDURE
1. Close the inlet water valve and relieve pressure by opening the faucet for a few seconds.
2. Ensure that the pure water faucet is turned off and shut off the power supply to the unit.
3. The filter cartridge that requires replacement should be rotated counter-clockwise
90 degrees as shown in Figure 15, using the front handle. The depleted cartridge
can be removed from the unit by pulling it outwards.
4. Remove the plastic wrap and protective cap of the corresponding replacement filter
cartridge,and insert into the housing with the handle in a horizontal position in the
same direction of the cartridge which was just removed. Turn the handle clockwise
90 degrees.
5. Restore the power supply and keep the faucet closed until autoflushing has finis-
hed. Then, turn on the faucet so that the unit can properly flush the new cartridge
prior to using for the first time.

Maintaining your Premier RO equipment
Some components of your system have a limited life span and will need to be replaced.
The precise duration will depend on the quality of the local water, the total amount
of water consumed, the pattern of usage, and specific characteristics of the water to
be treated such as high chlorination or excess hardness, etc. The below maintenance
guidelines are indicative. Please consult the local dealer for further information.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
• Replace filter 1 at least every 12 months.
• Replace filter 2 approximately every 3 years.
• Sanitize the unit upon commissioning and at least every 12 months depending on
use. Also, sanitize each time components in contact with water are accessed, or if no
water has been consumed for more than a month.
• Maintenance must be carried out by trained personnel, who must handle the
equipment properly, as well as use original spare parts to maintain the characteri-
stics, warranty, certifications and performance of the equipment and thus ensure
the quality of the water dispensed.
• All filter replacements are supplied in individual packaging designed to guarantee
hygienic storage and transportation conditions. Exercise precautions to maintain
hygiene after removing the filters from their packaging and when handling the va-
rious connectors and equipment components.
• Ensure that all joints are kept tightened and that the original hydraulic configurati-
on of the system is kept as recommended.
• If you have any other questions, please consult the local dealer.

NOTES
• The actual service life of each filter depends on the quality of the local tap water and
amount of daily usage.
• If local water quality is above or below the average indicators, the life of the filters
will be different than recommended. If one of the filters is prematurely blocked or
fails, use the actual usage status as the basis for the replacement of the filter.
• The flow rate is tested at 25 ºC; lower water temperatures will reduce the flow rate.
