HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) WORKS
The Everpure Conserv 75E System uses a semi-permeable
membrane to reduce scale and corrosion. The RO membrane
cartridge contains multiple layers of micron-thin film wound
around a hollow center core. Water molecules can pass
through the cartridge, while dissolved salts are rejected.
Your water supply is prefiltered to reduce dirt and chlorine
that may foul the membrane. The RO membrane cartridge
separates this prefiltered water into RO WATER and REJECT
WATER. Water pressure forces water through the membrane
within the RO membrane cartridge, and into the storage tank.
This is the RO water. Dissolved salts cannot pass through the
membrane and are sent to the drain as reject water. When
the application valve is opened, RO water (permeate) is drawn
from the storage tank through a post-system filter. The post
system filter adds minerals for pH balance.
The Conserv 75E RO System also features an auto shut-off
valve which shuts off the system once the pressure in the
storage tank reaches 2/3 of the incoming water pressure
(your water pressure). When you use water from the storage
tank, the pressure inside the tank drops and the auto shut-off
valve opens. The system then begins to operate, replenishing
the water you took from the storage tank. The storage tank
can hold up to 3.2 gals (12.1 L) of water at a time.
NOTE: When used under operating conditions specified
in this manual, the RO membrane cartridge of the
Conserv 75E System should last 12 to 24 months.
The precise life span of the Pentair®GRO-75EN RO
Membrane Cartridge will depend on the quality of
the water entering the system and the frequency
with which you use it. Frequent use prevents the
dissolved salts from building up on the membrane
as scale. The more water the system is required to
produce, the longer the membrane will last.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Please read all instructions, specifications, and
precautions before installing and using your
Conserv 75E System.
NOTE: The Conserv 75E System may be installed hanging on
a wall, under a sink, or sitting on a counter.
NOTE: The Conserv 75E System must be installed vertically.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an appliance-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
WARNING: Improper connection of the appliance-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance; if it will
not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified technician.
1Secure Manifold Wall Mount
The Conserv 75E System weighs approx. 58 lbs (26 kgs).
CAUTION: The Conserv 75E System should be mounted on
a stud or firm surface. The mounting bracket
will support the weight of the system and help
prevent strain on the water lines.
1. Select location where unit is to be mounted. The unit
must be mounted in a vertical position.
2. When mounting the Conserv 75E System on a wall, two
(2) screws are required to mount the unit. The two (2)
screws will be 14" (35.6 cm) apart and level. Screw the
two (2) screws into the wall. Leave a gap between the
screw head and the wall of 1/8". The backside of the unit
has two (2) slots that will fit over the screw heads and
slide down to lock (Figure 2).
3. Tighten both screws from the front with the cover
removed.

2Tubing Connections
1. Refer to Figure 3 (cover removed) for a general
description of connection points.
2. Prepare the plumbing to accept the RO system.
NOTE: The blended water tubing/piping and associated
fittings connecting the RO blended water outlet to
the equipment being serviced should be food-grade
material that meets NSF®Standard 51, 61, or similar,
with a minimum pressure rating of 125 psi (8.6 bar,
0.86 MPa). The blended water may react with metal
piping, creating a corrosive condition. Plastic pipe
or reinforced beverage tubing are generally very
good material choices for RO water distribution
piping. The size of the blended water tubing/piping
should be 3/8" (9.5 mm) ID minimum. Distances of
25 feet (7.6 m) or greater from the RO system to the
equipment being serviced should be 1/2" (12.7 mm)
ID minimum.
3. Locate an appropriate point in the hard water plumbing
to tie in a new section of tubing/piping that can be routed
to the RO system. CLOSE the nearest shut-off valve
that is upstream from the tie-in point and relieve the
pressure in the line. Install the 3/8" (9.5 mm) tubing/
piping section and connect it to the INLET - Supply Water
fitting. See Figure 3.
4. Connect the appropriate size and type of tubing/piping
and associated fittings to the Everpure Conserv 75E
System outlet connection. Route the line(s) to the
equipment being serviced. CLOSE the inlet and outlet
valves on the RO system. Reapply pressure to the
plumbing by slowly OPENING the shut-off valve that was
closed in the previous step.
5. Connect a 1/4" (7.14 mm) OD tube to the reject connector
(labeled DRAIN) located in the lower left corner of the
unit. Route the other end of the tubing to a drain nearby,
securing it properly. Allow an air gap at the drain,
following any applicable local and national codes.
NOTE: The accessory tank connection allows for the use of
an external storage tank for RO blended water. The
use of an accessory storage tank will affect fill/flush
times and sanitization.
NOTE: The maximum size for an accessory accumulator
tank is 6 gals (22.7 L).
NOTE: The filtered water outlet connection provides water
that has been filtered only by the first (front right)
cartridge.

Storage Tank
The storage tank will hold approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of
product water. The tank air pressure is preset to 24 psi (1.65
bar, 0.16 Mpa) when shipped via ground transportation. For
air shipments the precharge is completely removed. Check
the tank air pressure. Ensure that the tank has 24 psi (1.65
bar, 0.16 Mpa) of precharge upon installation. Add air if
needed. Tank pressure may be checked using an air pressure
gauge on the air valve at the bottom of the tank.
Locate the valve at the top of the tank and turn OFF until
instructed to open it.
PUTTING THE SYSTEM INTO OPERATION
CAUTION: If wall mounted, make certain the unit is firmly
attached to wall to prevent it from falling and
possibly becoming damaged.
NOTE: The Everpure Conserv 75E System does not produce
a high volume of water on-demand as an ordinary
filter does. Water is produced at a slow, drop-by-
drop rate. The system requires about 30 minutes to
fill the storage tank. As water is taken from the tank,
the system automatically starts the cycle of replacing
the water and then stops water production when the
tank is full.
There are several steps that must be followed to properly
place the Conserv 75E System into operation before the
supply water is turned ON.

9. For best system performance, flush for 24 hours. CLOSE
the outlet water shut-off valve.
8Final Flush
After the Pentair®GRO-75EN RO Membrane Cartridge has
been flushed the storage tank should be filled and emptied
five (5) times. When the blended water shut-off valve is closed
at the end of the GRO-75EN RO Membrane Cartridge flushing
process, the storage tank will fill. It will take approximately 30
minutes for the tank to fill.
1. When the storage tank is full, the pump will stop
running. OPEN the blended water outlet valve to empty
the storage tank.
2. When pressure drops in the storage tank, the pump will
turn on. Water exiting the tubing from the blended water
shut-off valve will slow to a drip. CLOSE the blended
water shut-off valve. The tank will refill with RO water.
When it is full the pump will turn off.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 four (4) more times.
Flush the Everpure 4CC and 4CB5 Filter Cartridges:
The 4CC Mineral Cartridge and 4CB5 Filter Cartridge will be
flushed when the storage tank is flushed. No further flushing
is required.
CAUTION: Visually check the entire system for leaks. If a
leak is present, see Troubleshooting.
NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy. This is a result
of air trapped in the postfilter cartridge. It is not
harmful and will disappear in a matter of minutes.
It may take up to a week after installing a new
postfilter cartridge for the trapped air to dissipate.
Replace the Cover
Place the cover in position. Reuse the original screws to
secure it in place.
USING THE TDS METER TO TEST FOR TOTAL
DISSOLVED SOLIDS
After the system has been flushed, it is still necessary to
test and set the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to an acceptable
level. A TDS meter is included for testing purposes.
The included TDS Meter is designed for limited use. After
six (6) tests, the meter may not be accurate and should be
discarded.
Probe End
NOTE: For better accuracy and frequent testing for TDS, use
a standard pocket TDS meter.
9Set Blending Valve
The water exiting the Everpure Conserv 75E ystem should
have a TDS reading of 75 ppm.
1. Collect 1" to 2" of RO blended water in a clean glass
container.
2. Insert probe end of meter no more than 1" into water,
and depress blue cap. Do not submerge entire unit.
3. One (1) or two (2) lights will light immediately. Match
light(s) to chart to get approximate range of Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS). Release the blue cap, and write
down the TDS range.
NOTE: The blend adjustment valve should be closed at this
time. The TDS reading in Step 3 will be for unblended
RO blended water.
0-75 ppm (solid blue)
76-150 ppm (flashing blue)
100-250 ppm (flashing blue + solid green)
251-300 ppm (solid green)

401-500 ppm (solid green + flashing green)
501-600 ppm (flashing green + solid red)
601-750 ppm (flashing red)
751-900 ppm (solid red)

14 EVERPURE®CONSERV®75E HIGH EFFICIENCY RO SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
The Conserv 75E System includes a blend system that can
combine or "blend" water sources. OPENING the blend
adjustment valve will add untreated water with higher TDS to
the water.
To achieve the target TDS of 75 ppm, it is likely that the blend
valve will need to be opened.
The desired reading of 75 ppm is at the high end of the solid
blue range. To be certain the blended water is at or near 75
ppm, use the following procedure:
1. CLOSE the mixing valve. Allow RO water to run for two (2)
minutes.
2. OPEN the mixing valve 1/4 turn, and run blended water
for two (2) minutes. Discard this water.
3. Run blended water into a glass and collect 1" to 2" of
water.
4. Test this water for a TDS level. Based on the result, the
mixing valve will be opened or closed.
• If the meter showed a solid blue light, then the mixing
valve will be OPENED more.
• If the meter showed any other indicator, then the
mixing valve will be CLOSED more.
5. Adjust the mixing valve if needed and run blended water
for two (2) minutes. Discard this water.
6. Repeat Steps 3, 4 & 5 until the light indicators change
between solid blue and flashing blue. The blended water
TDS should now be at 75 ppm.
TESTING YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Test
Under NSF/ANSI Standard 58, it is highly recommended that
the blended water be tested at least every six (6) months to
verify that the system is performing satisfactorily.
WHEN TO CHANGE THE CARTRIDGES
The life of the cartridges depend on the water volume used
and the substances in the water. Normally, cartridges should
be changed at intervals of 12 months. Replace the cartridges
sooner if the water pressure at the application equipment
begins to drop noticeably or if you notice changes in the flow
of the blended water.
CHANGING THE CARTRIDGES
Replacement Cartridges:
