GENERAL INFORMATION
Your commercial reverse osmosis (RO) system is a durable piece of equipment, which with proper care, will last for many years. This user’s manual
outlines operating and maintenance details vital to the sustained performance of your system.
The test results included with your system indicate the performance of the system before it was shipped from the manufacturer’s facility. The systems
are tested for permeate and rejection based on the following testing conditions: 77°F (25°C), 550 ppm feed concentration, and 60 psi feed pressure.
The systems are designed to run at approximately 100 psi operating pressure. Recoveries for your system can vary between 40 - 50%, depending on
your application. NOTE: IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM’S WARRANTY, AN OPERATING LOG MUST BE MAINTAINED.
MANUAL OVERVIEW
This user’s manual has been prepared, in order to provide the operator of the system with information on start-up, operation, installation, maintenance,
and troubleshooting procedures.
Please feel free to contact your distributor or dealer with any additional questions that are not addressed in this user’s manual.
SAFETY SUMMARY
Safety for the system operator and other personnel should always remain the highest priority. This user’s manual does not contain all necessary safety
statements needed when operating the reverse osmosis system.
Additional safety statements are included within the user’s manual text and are enhanced and defined as follows:
NOTE: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND CLARIFICATION.
CAUTION: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN EQUIPMENT OR
OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING: INDICATES STATEMENTS THAT ARE USED TO IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR
LOSS OF LIFE.

READ THIS MANUAL
Prior to operating or servicing the reverse osmosis system, this user’s manual must be read and understood in full. Keep it and other associated
information for future reference and for new operators or qualified personnel near the reverse osmosis system.
INSTALLATION AND INITIAL STARTUP PROCEDURES (SEE DIAGRAM AND SPECIFICATION CHART)
1. Inspect the system for any damage that could have occurred during shipment. Although our systems have been individually inspected, complete a
quick inspection of the fittings, tubing, and other components.
2. Please provide a reasonable amount of space for installation and leave 6 inches of space below the filter housings for ease of maintenance.
NOTE: THE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED INDOORS AND IT IS SUGGESTED THAT IT NOT BE IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT OR EXTREME COLD.
3. Connect the 3/8” or 1/4” tube fitting to an incoming water source. The minimum water pressure should be at least 30 psi. The system’s minimum
operating pressure is 80 PSI, but the optimum operating pressure is 100 psi. NOTE: DO NOT OPERATE AT A PRESSURE EXCEEDING 125
PSI. The operating pressure can be increased on the face of the booster pump by turning the hex screw clockwise.
4. Connect the concentrate ¼” tubing (waste) line to drain.
5. Plug the booster pump transformer into a power supply of 110 or 220 volts.
6. This system has been designed with an auto-flush restrictor. This restrictor automatically flushes the reverse osmosis system for 30 seconds every
time it starts up and once every hour when the system is producing water. NOTE: THE TANK PRESSURE SWITCH WILL SHUT THE SYSTEM
OFF AUTOMATICALLY, WHEN THE BLADDER TANK IS FULL.
7. The sediment filter and carbon must be serviced regularly for optimal performance. The filters and water quality should be checked every two
weeks minimum.
8. Dispose of the product water until the conductivity of the product water reaches your desired level. Use any TDS or Conductivity meter to monitor
the product water quality. A minimum quality of 96% NaCl rejection is recommended. NOTE: ANY CHLORINE EXPOSURE WILL DAMAGE THE
MEMBRANE PERMANENTLY.
9. This system has been factory wired and preset with a pressure switch at 20 - 40 psi, which is only to be used with a pressurized bladder tank. If
using an atmospheric storage tank, a float switch will be required to turn the system ON and OFF.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
1. Periodically observe the quality and quantity of product water from the system. NOTE: CHECK THE FEED WATER PRESSURE GOING INTO
THE REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE, A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN PRESSURE COULD INDICATE A FOULED PRE-FILTER.
2. A 20% increase in TDS when checking the permeate water indicates possible membrane damage and the membrane may need to be replaced.
3. It is suggested that a hand held TDS digital meter is used once per week to monitor the water quality.
4. NOTE: IF THE TDS OF THE FEED WATER EXCEEDS 1000 PPM OF NACL, A LARGER FLOW RESTRICTOR SHOULD BE USED TO
EXTEND THE MEMBRANE LIFE.
5. It is important to maintain and/or replace the carbon block regularly since the Thin Film Composite membranes are chlorine sensitive. Irreversible
damage will occur with any chlorine present in the feed water. For additional information please review the manufacturer’s membrane specification
sheets.
6. The product line has a one way check valve installed. The check valve should be checked regularly and replaced if not properly sealing.
7. Keep the feed water temperature above 4°C (36°F). NOTE: EXTREMELY COLD FEED WATER WILL LOWER THE PRODUCT WATER
OUTPUT AND INCREASE PUMP PRESSURE.
SERVICE ASSISTANCE
If service assistance is required, please complete the following process:
Contact your local dealer or distributor. Prior to making the call, have the following information available: system installation date, serial number, daily
log sheets, current operating parameters (e.g. flow, operating pressures, pH, etc.), and a detailed description of the problem.
SYSTEM WARRANTY/GUARANTEE
The system’s manufacturer guarantees that the proposed product is to be free from any defects in material or workmanship when operated in
accordance with written instructions for a period of one year (12 months) from start-up. Parts not manufactured by the system’s manufacturer are
covered by their manufacturer's warranties which are normally for one year. Please contact your local dealer or distributor for addition information
regarding warranties.
