Overview
Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Premier ZeroWaste®Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System. Water
quality concerns are becoming more of a focus for the public. You may have heard about contaminants in the drinking
water such as Arsenic, 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 drinking water for years to come. The following is a brief overview of the system.
About Reverse Osmosis
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. A semi permeable membrane is a barrier that will pass only certain par-
ticles like clean drinking water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.
Reverse osmosis uses a semi permeable membrane; however, by applying pressure across the membrane, it concen-
trates contaminants (like a strainer) on one side of the membrane, producing crystal clear water on the other. This is
why RO systems produce both clean drinking water and rinse water that is flushed from the system. This reverse osmo-
sis system also utilizes carbon block filtration technology, and can therefore provide a higher quality drinking water than
carbon filtration systems alone
What Makes This Unit ZeroWaste®
Normally, reverse osmosis sends more water to the drain than what ends up as drinking water. This flushing is neces-
sary for reverse osmosis to work. This unit features a ZeroWaste®component that takes the water that would normally
be sent to the drain and redirects it into your hot water connection where it can be re-used.
The Stages of Filtration
Your system is a four stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water filtra-
tion 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 50GPD (Gallons Per Day) RO membrane. This semi perme-
able membrane will effectively remove Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Sodium and a wide range of contaminants such
as Chromium, Arsenic, Copper, Lead as well as Cysts, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. 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 filter, recommend change 12 months.
Through the specialty (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 & Membrane life may vary based upon local water conditions and/or use patterns.
