BRIEF
TECHNICAL
ASPECT
OF
THE
WATER
TREATMENT
SYSTEM
This Water
Filter
Treatment
System
utilizes
a
process
called
reverse
osmosis
(
RO
)
.
As the heart
of
the
purification
system
,
the
RO
process
uses
semi
-
permeable spiral
-
wound
membranes
to
separate
and
remove
dissolved solids
,
organic
,
pyrogens
,
sub
-
micron
colloidal
particles
and bacteria
from
water
.
Feed
water
is delivered under
pressure
at
about
60
PSI
through
the
permeator
where
water
permeates
the minute
pores
of
the membrane and
is
delivered
as
purified
water
.
Impurities
in
the
water
are
concentrated
in
the
reject
stream
and
flushed
to
drain
.
Your
newly
purchased
Reverse
Osmosis
System
is
capable
of
removing
between
90
%
to
96
%
of
the total dissolved solids
(
TDS
)
,
organics
,
and bacteria
.
Important
We
suggest
you
read and become
familiar
with
all instructions
,
processes
,
and
parts
prior
to
proceeding
with
the installation
.
Please
see
back
page
for information
on
protection equipment
.
BEFORE
YOU
START
:
PLEASE
NOTE
-
All

may
be
loosened
or
unseated
from

Guest
”
fittings
:
If
you
come across a
push
-
fit
fitting
,
you
need
to
firmly
push
the
tubing
into the
opening
until
you
feel
a
“
click
”
which
signifies
that the
tubing
has
pushed
through
the internal
O
-
ring
and is seated
correctly
.
If
leaking
occurs
,
it
may
be due
to
roughly
cut
tubing
OR
the
tubing
is
not
pushed
in
far
enough
.
To
remove
tubing
from
push
-
fit
fittings
,
depress
the
floating
collet
(

(
NOTE
:
water
goes

.
Connect filtered
water
to

Faucet Installation
)
SYSTEM START
UP
:
1
.
Once
you
are
confident
that all
components
are
assembled
correctly
,
slowly
turn
on
the inlet
water
and
inspect
the
system
thoroughly
for
leaks
.
2
.
Once
system
has been checked
,
open
the valve
on
top
of
the
storage
tank and the
system
will
kick
back
in
and
begin
filling
the tank
full
of
Reverse
Osmosis
Water
.
NOTE
:
At
NO
point
does the
pressure
valve
on
the bottom
of
the
storage
tank need
to
be
tampered
with
or
used
.
The
water
enters
and exits the
storage
tank
through
the
SAME
LINE
on
the
top
of
the tank
.
There is
NO
need
to
touch
pressure
valve
at
any
point
.
The tank is
preset
to
7
PSI
.
Anything
above
or
below that
figure
will
cause
to
tank
to not
function
as
intended
.

3
.
IMPORTANT FOR
7
STAGE
SYSTEMS
:
Allow the tank
to
fill
to
capacity
BEFORE
turning
on
the
faucet
on
the sink
.
Once
the tank is
entirely
full
(
approx
.
1
-
2
Hours
)
open
the sink
top
faucet
and allow the entire tank
to
drain
.
This
will
flush
the
filters
and the
tubing
prior
to
use
.
This is
important
as
the
filters
are no
longer
pre
-
washed
due
to
potential
bacteria contamination
.
This
process
also
helps
to
flush
out
the anti
¬
bacterial solution which these units
are
factory
treated
with
.
4
.
The
system
will
automatically
start to
fill
the
storage
tank
again
.
5
.
The
system
is
ready
to
provide
you
with
fresh
and
purified
water
.
In
some cases
,
there
may
be
a
lingering
taste
in
the
water
,
which
can
be described
as
a
metallic
or
chemical
taste
,
this is
only
the carbon and
alkalizing
fines
or
also
some
residual sanitizer
in
the
tank
or
membrane and
will
disappear
shortly
after
adequate
flushing
.
If
taste
persists
for
longer
than
1
week
please
contact
us
RECOMMENDED
MAINTENANCE
:
As
a
general
rule
,
any
cartridges
BEFORE
the membrane should be
replaced
every
6
months
.
This
will
help
ensure
the membrane
itself
will
perform
to
its
full
potential
over
its
1
-
5
year
lifespan
(
depending
on
water
quality
)
.
The
post
carbon
GAC
(
taste
and odour
cartridge
)
should be
replaced
every
12
months
.
In
a
7
Stage
system
,
the
T
300
should be
replaced
every
12
months
as
per
the
manufacturers
recommendations
.
=
.
The
Life
Energy
Ceramic
FIR
Cartridge
is
to
be
replaced
every
2
years
.
The
magnetic
Water
treatment
device
will
not
need
replacing
.
On
a
standard
7
stage system
,
the
changes
would
be similar
to
