Thank you for your purchase of this quality water purification system by Pure Water Systems, Inc. Your
new PWS™ BEV-300 Series system combines several of the most efficient methods of water treatment
to achieve a very specific result—ultra-pure water that meets the rigorous Vincent (BEV) standards for
bio-compatibility.
As the new owner of a PWS™ BEV-300 pure water appliance there is a totally new experience awaiting
you. You and your family will be amazed at the delightful new taste of your tap water—it’s like owning
your own personal mountain spring.
This manual provides information about the application and servicing of your PWS™ BEV-300 Series
pure water appliance. Descriptions of the components and their functions will help to answer frequently
asked questions. By thoroughly reading this manual you will be better able to operate your new system
and perform simple maintenance.
SETTING UP YOUR BEV SYSTEM
Your PWS™ BEV-300 system requires no electricity—the only requirement is adequate water pressure.
This unit is designed to operate within a pressure range of 40–100 PSI (2.75–6.9 bar). The amount of
purified water produced depends primarily on your water pressure, temperature, and the amount of
dissolved solids. The custom reverse osmosis membrane will produce up to 40 gallons (~150 liters) per
day of pure BEV quality water. If you plan to install this unit on a private well system, you should check
your water pressure gauge. If the pressure is less than 40 PSI (2.75 bar), ask a plumber to adjust and raise
the pressure to the minimum level of 40 PSI.
Quick Description of Installation…
1) Unpack the system.
2) Review this manual.
3) Inspect the installation location—verify the system
and storage tank will fit beneath sink.
4) Attach the pre-filters to the frame.
5) Install the faucet.
6) Install the feed water saddle valve.
7) Install the drain saddle valve.

2) Planning the Installation
It is advisable to review the following instructions completely before proceeding.
The BEV-340 system is comprised of several large components which, in most cases, fit easily beneath
most kitchen sinks. It is wise to establish the desired location of each of the components before hand.
The storage tank has built-in feet for upright positioning. However, it may be placed on its side when
space is limited. (A stand is included.)
3) Attaching the Pre-Filters
Open the package containing the frame assembly and RO pressure vessel (ROPV). Mounted to the bot-
tom of the frame are the tops of the three pre-filter canisters. Attached to the outlet port of the third
pre-filter top is the auto shut-off valve.
Refer to the picture of the BEV-340 unit at the front of this manual: Pre-filter position 1 is on the left,
behind the label reading “IN, FEED WATER.” Pre-filter position 2 is the center. Pre-filter position 3 is
on the right, behind the label reading “OUT, TO TANK.”
The sediment pre-filter should be placed into position one (1). Remove the wrapping, place the filter
into the canister, then screw the canister to the top until firm, taking care to align the filter correctly.
The granular activated carbon pre-filters occupy positions 2 and 3.
4) Installing the Chrome Faucet
Open the package containing the chrome faucet and mounting hardware. Study the diagram printed on
thepackageforadditional installation instructions.
a) Select the location of the faucet on the sink top. (NOTE: Make sure there are no reinforcing ribs
under the sink drilling location.)
b) Use factory approved meth-
od or approved plumbing
practice to drill hole in sink.
For porcelain sinks—facto-
ry approved method is: first
grind awayporcelain with
Dremmel® tooland silicon
grindingwheel(about
¾”circle). Then, using a
standard½”high-speed
drillbit, drill holethrough
metal portionof sink.
(See Figure 1)Alternately,
usea“glass and tilecarbide
spade tipped bit.”
For acrylic sinks use astan-
dard ½” high-speed drill bit.
For stainless steel sinks use a ½” high-speed drill bit or a ½” Greenlee chassis punch.
c) Install faucet according to the diagram on the package, insuring rubber gaskets are place. Tighten
lock nut beneath sink.
