Thankyouforyourpurchaseofa stateof theart PremierReverseOsmosis (RO)watertreatmentsystem.Water quality
concerns are becoming more of a focus for the public. You may have heard about contaminants in the drinking water, such
asArsenic, Chromium, Cryptosporidium or Giardia. There may also be some local water issues such as high levels of Lead
and Copper. This Premier water treatment system has been designed and tested to provide you with high quality water for
years to come. The following is a brief overview of the system.
Your Reverse Osmosis System:
Osmosis is the process of water passing through a semi permeable membrane in order to balance the concentration of
contaminants on each side of the membrane.Asemi permeable membrane is a barrier that will pass some particles like clean
water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.
Reverse osmosis uses a semi permeable membrane; however, by applying pressure across the membrane, it concentrates
contaminants (like a strainer) on one side of the membrane, producing clean water on the other. This is why RO systems
produce both clean drinking water and waste water that is flushed from the system. This reverse osmosis system also utilizes
carbonblock filtration technology, andcan therefore provide much higher quality drinking water than carbon filtration systems.
Your system is a Four Stage RO which is based upon four separate treatment segments within one complete water filtration
system. These stages are as follows:
Stage 1 – Sediment filter, recommended change 6 months.
The first stage of your RO system is a five micron sediment filter that traps sediment and other particulate matter
like dirt, silt and rust which affect the taste and appearance of your water.
Stage 2 – Carbon filter, recommended change 6 months.
The second stage contains a 5 micron carbon block filter. This helps ensure that chlorine and other materials that
cause bad taste and odor are greatly reduced.
Stage 3- Membrane, recommended change 2-5 years.
Stage three is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the RO membrane. This semi-permeable membrane will
take out TDS & Sodium and a wide range of contaminants such as Perchlorate, Chromium,Arsenic, Copper, Lead,
as well as Cysts, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium and much more. Because the process of extracting this high
quality drinking water takes time, your RO water treatment system is equipped with a storage tank.
Stage 4- VOC Block, recommend change 12 months.
Premier WP-4V reverse osmosis system conforms to NSF/ANSI 58 for VOC reduction. Through the specialty
formulated VOC post filter your system is capable of reducing harmful Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC) like
MTBE’s, Atrazine, Benzene, 2,4-D,Lindane and others from your drinking water. It is estimated that VOC’s are
present in one-fifth of the nation’s water supplies. These water contaminants can enter ground water from a variety
of sources including localized use of herbicides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel tanks,
septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry-cleaning industry. See performance data sheet for individual
contaminants and reduction performance.
Note: Filter life may vary based upon local water conditions and/or use patterns.
System Maintenance
Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Contaminants such as lead, chromium, VOC’s and arsenic
are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the filter elements, other bad tastes and odors will
be apparent in your drinking water.
This is why it is important to change out your filter at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system manual. When
replacing the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should you have any further questions please
