6. Indoor use only, protect from elements.
Safety Instructions
1. Please read and follow these instructions when
connecting and using the system.
2. Securely bolt processor to wall before operating.
3. Avoid cross-connections and install on cold water supply
only.
4. Use approved air gaps when connecting to drain lines.

vGeneral Information

OPS175 Simple Install Guide 3
vInstallation Requirements
Operating a system on water supplies outside
of the parameters listed below may lead to
premature membrane failure. This product
is for commercial use only and must be
installed and maintained in accordance with
manufacturer’s guidelines and local regulatory
plumbing codes.
Operating Parameters
Typical Membrane TDS Rejection: 97+%
Feed Temperature: 40˚ - 100˚F (4˚ - 38˚C)
Feed Pressure: 50 - 80 psi
(3.4 - 5.9 bar) at 1 gpm
Production (at 77˚F, 60 psi to atmosphere):
175 gals./day
(7.3 gals./hr.)
Recovery: Up to 33%
IMPORTANT NOTE: The production rate is
strictly dependent on feedwater temperature
and pressure.
For example: Operating pressure of 30
psi will reduce production by 50%, or
48˚F feedwater will reduce production by
50%.
Location
The system should be installed indoors,
within 25 feet of the equipment water is being
supplied to, and protected from the elements.
Do not let the processor or storage tank freeze
or be exposed to rain or direct sunlight.
Feed Water Connection
An adequate ow and pressure of water to the
unit is essential for successful operation.
Drain
A drain should be located within 10 feet of
the system. Drain must allow a minimum ow
of 2 gals./min. Compliance with most local
plumbing codes requires installation of an
approved air gap in the drain line. The drain
connection should be accessible for system
set-up and service.
Feedwater Chemistry
Feed TDS: Up to 1200 ppm
Feed pH: 6 - 10
Hardness: 12 grains or less
Free Chlorine: <2 mg/L
Iron (Fe): 0.1 mg/L maximum
Turbidity: <0.05 NTU
Manganese: 0.05 mg/L maximum
Hydrogen Sulde: 0.0 mg/L
Note: The presence of silica or occulants
such as alum or cationic polymers in the
feedwater may cause membrane fouling and
may require special pretreatment. Please note
that membrane failure due to fouling is not
covered by the warranty.
Storage Tank
The tank must be located within 10 feet of
the water processor. The oor beneath the
storage tank should be smooth, clean and
free of sharp objects that could puncture the
bottom of the tank.
Optimized Water Lines to Equipment
Tubing, piping and associated ttings used to
connect optimized water to equipment should be
food grade material with a minimum pressure rating
of 75 PSI. Non-metal, plastic pipe or reinforced hose
or tubing are recommended. For distribution runs
longer then 15 feet use larger inside diameter tubing
or hose to minimize pressure drop.

When installing, locate the storage
tank as near the equipment as
possible to maximize water pressure
and ow. Cut tubing to an ecient
length using a tubing cutter or sharp
blade. Do not cut with wire crimpers
or dikes. When routing and securing
tubing avoid loops or kinks.

Mount the system with the Pre-Installed Drain
Line (1/4” black) and Bypass Assembly (3/8” red)
as shown below.
Step 1
Attach the system with 2 screws (user supplied)
through the attachment keyholes shown below.
Use anchors or attach directly to studs. Be sure
to allow at least 3” clearance below cartridges
for removal.
vMount Processor
Use Keyholes in Bracket

Step 2a
Insert the AMS-QT15 Membrane into the center
head and rotate it to the right 1/4 turn to lock.
Step 2b
Remove the plug from the tting at the bottom
of the Membrane and insert the end of the
black tubing coming from the lower left part of
the Permeate Pump.
Attention: Warranty will be void if
this step is not performed properly.
Step 3
Insert and lock the CTO-Q10 Cartridge into the
Pre-Filter Head as shown.
NOTE: The pre-lter head has a built-in shut o
valve. When the lter is removed, water will not
ow. When the lter is installed, water will ow
to the system.

Step 4
Route and connect the loose end of 1/4” black
(DRAIN) tubing coming from Permeate Pump on
processor to a suitable drain; cut to length and
fasten to the wall and at the drain connection.
(Some locations may require an approved air
gap. Optional OptiPure Air Gap available, part
number: 164-89905)
Step 5a
Install the Feedwater Adapter (from the
installation kit) into the user-supplied 1/2”
Feedwater Supply Valve. (Do not over-tighten.)
Step 5b
Connect a piece of 3/8” green tubing to the
Feedwater Supply Valve. Connect the other end
to the Feedwater Inlet on processor.
Step 6
Install the Tank Valve – hand tighten. Cut a piece
of 3/8” tubing 1 1/2” to 2” long and install the
3/8” Tee as shown above. Ensure the Valve is
CLOSED.
