Order the PX051 (sediment cartridge) & CB951 (carbon cartridge) for a replacement
cartridges and RET1812-75 replacement membrane to suit your PRO270 system.
Installation
This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15 mm
(½”) male thread to an existing tap or mixer tap (cold supply only - hot water should be
ltered prior to heating). Also includes extending kit, where extra length is required.
Installation Requirements
1. Water supply pressure: 300 - 875 kPa.
2. Water supply temperature: 0° - 30°C (protect from freezing).
Alternative ttings may be required if being connected to anything other than a standard
15 mm tap.
Installation Procedure
Important Note: Do not cut the BLACK tube when installing this system.
1. The unit comes with a tap adapter on the inlet side, identied by a GREEN tube, which
will screw onto a standard tap without the need of thread seal tape. Make sure it is rmly
screwed to provide a seal on the rubber gasket (hand tighten only).
2. To gain access to the mounting screw holes on the mounting bracket, simply unclip the
R.O. housing from the clip attached to the main mounting bracket. This will reveal the wall
mounting screw holes to enable the mounting of the system to the wall, cupboard etc.
3. Puried water (BLUE tube) and waster water (BLACK tube) lines do not come with any
attachments. Pure water should be directed to a suitable container without any back pressure
or valving occurring in the line. The drain line, or waste water may be directed to the outside
garden, or if installed inside, to a washing machine, to conserve water. If inconvenient it may
be directed to any drainage system.
4. When the unit is in place and the water lines are installed, the unit should be run for 4 hours
before the puried water is used, on initial start up. The unit cannot be stored for more than
2 weeks without use, or damaged to the membrane may occur. Please enquire if this is the
case.
For a period of non-use greater than 2 days, ush for 10 minuntes before use. For non-use
greater than 2 weeks, the cartridges may need replacing.
5. The sediment and chemical removal lters should be replaced every 6 months. The
membrane should be replaced when water quality deteriorates or every 18 - 24 months,
