The WOW RO System operates by removing contaminants from water at the molecular level. By
using your household water pressure to squeeze your water against a special membrane, water
molecules are separated from impuries. Rejected dissolved solids are automacally rinsed down
the drain leaving only high-quality, delicious water for you to use.
1. The WOW RO System will replenish approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) in 35–90 minutes, de-
pending on your incoming water pressure, quality, and temperature. This appliance is designed
with a self-regulang, atmospheric producon, and a ush feature that limits the reject water
to approximately 2 gallons (7.6 L) for every gallon (liter) of treated water. Your appliance will
perform beer and last longer with heavy use. We encourage you to water house plants, pro-
vide water for pets, cook, mix drinks, ll baeries, etc., with treated water. Cauon: The work-
ing capacity of this appliance depends on the pressure, temperature and TDS load of the wa-
ter supply. This appliance is not guaranteed to work properly with water pressure less than 20
psi (1.4 bar) and water temperature below 40°F (4°C), or above 100° (37.8C), and TDS over
1,400 ppm.

INTERNAL BODY CLEANSING: Water is vital to every process in the body. It also cleanses the body of toxins that aect
our well being, provided it is suciently pure. Beverages like juice, soda, etc., cannot perform this funcon. Try 6 - 8
glasses of WOW WATER each day for a month and see if you don’t experience a noceable change in some aspect of
your health and wellbeing. WOW WATER is the foundaon of every excellent cleansing program recommended by your
health advisor.
COOKING: Ordinary tap water contains chemical addives, mineral salts, and organic impuries , that interfere with the
natural avor of vegetables, soups, and nearly anything cooked in or with water. We even recommend cooking food
like spaghe or steaming vegetables in WOW WATER – something boled water users nd much too costly. One of
the unexpected benets you’ll discover is that your WOW WATER puts an end to the annoying scale build-up on your
pots and pans.
JUICES AND MIXES: “Just add water,” the label says. Your WOW WATER system allows you to add water without the
impuries and bad taste. Juice concentrates, parcularly, will taste beer than ever. Why? Because you’ll be replacing
the same pure water removed from the fresh juice during processing which allows the full avor to develop.
COFFEE, TEA, AND OTHER BEVERAGES: Most beverages are over 95 percent water and turn out to be no beer than
the water from which they are made. Mineral salts and organic tastes and odors interfere with the chemistry of coee
and especially tea making. Your WOW WATER allows the full essence of your brews to come through.
ICE CUBES: If your ice is cloudy or melts too quickly, you won’t believe the dierence your WOW WATER makes! It’s the
mineral salts in water that make ice cloudy and so. With WOW WATER, you can expect clearer, harder ice that melts
slowly, won’t spoil the avor of beverages, and leaves no annoying residue in your mixed drinks.
LOW SODIUM DIETS: Your WOW WATER system produces water that is perfect for most low sodium (salt restricted)
diets. Excess processed table salt (sodium chloride) intake has been linked to hyper-tension and weight gain for some
individuals. For those who have a water soener, this too, adds sodium to the water but with a WOW WATER system,
drinking water sodium levels will be praccally eliminated.
WEIGHT LOSS DIETS: Excess mineral salts in tap water and soened water can result in an increase in body uids and
therefore weight. Your WOW WATER compliments any weight loss program by minimizing this factor. If you’ve been
consuming tap water, try this: Drink at least six glasses of your WOW WATER throughout the day for one month –
without changing anything else in your diet. See if you aren’t delighted by the number of pounds you’ll shed!
RINSING HAIR: For the absolute soest, shiniest hair, there is nothing like a nal rinse with your WOW WATER . It has
none of the dulling chemicals or mineral salts that are le behind by city water when your hair dries. Furthermore, the
pH of WOW WATER is ideal for maintaining opmum hair and skin. Just wash and rinse your hair as usual. Then, pour a
container (one quart or liter will do) of your WOW WATER over the hair (you might want to warm it a bit on the stove
or microwave). Gently towel dry and appreciate the wonderful results.
PLANTS: There’s a lot of misunderstanding about the best water to give your house plants. Many people think that the
mineral salts in water are important for the growth of their plants. This is generally untrue. Nature intended plant life
to have rain water which is void of mineral salts. Plant nutrients are supplied by elements and bacteria in the soil. All of
your greenery, including cut owers, will thrive beer and longer on your WOW WATER . Poed plants won’t have to
be ushed out regularly to get rid of mineral salt build-up when your WOW WATER is used. Try it; the dierence can
be dramac.
The Many Uses of RO Water

6
STEAM IRONS: Your WOW WATER is far superior to tap water for use in steam irons. Mineral salts from tap water build
up around the heang elements and waste expensive electricity as well as clog steam vents. Your WOW WATER reduc-
es mineral salt build-up and will substanally extend the life of your steam iron.
HUMIDIFIERS: Humidiers evaporate water into the air leaving whatever was in the water behind. The dirt, rust, and
mineral salts deposited in the humidier mechanism can cause it to become inecient, energy wasng, and nally self-
destruct. You will soon observe what a great asset WOW WATER can be to your humidier maintenance.
PREPARING CLEANING PRODUCTS: Many house-holds economize and “Go Green” by mixing their own cleaning solu-
ons from concentrates -whether for cleaning counters, oors, or windows. Dirt and mineral salts in tap water actually
interfere with the eecveness of cleaners, in addion to leaving a dulling residue of spots and streaks behind. If you
really want to make your products “new and improved” try mixing them with your WOW WATER . The results are very
noceable.
AQUARIUMS: Fish love pure water too! Whether you have fresh water sh or use fresh water to prepare saltwater
aquariums, it’s best to start with water having as few impuries as possible. The WOW WATER system not only eec-
vely removes excess mineral salts, but eliminates both free and combined chlorine (chloramines) which are highly tox-
ic to most sh. For fresh water aquariums, the WOW WATER should be added as make-up water at rst so sh become
gradually acclimated to the change of chemistry. Always consult with your aquarium specialist for his recommendaon
when using WOW WATER to replace large volumes of aquarium water.
AUTOMOBILE BATTERIES: Even though some baery manufacturers claim that it’s okay to use tap water, all car baer-
ies will last far longer on your WOW WATER . With the mineral salts virtually eliminated, your WOW WATER will not
interfere with the chemistry of your car baery and its lifeme will be maximized.
AUTOMOBILE WINDSHIELD WASHER: How many people do you know who would put boled water in their car’s wind-
shield washer? You should put your WOW WATER in your washer and see what a dierence it makes! The overspray
from your washers won’t leave such a mess of spots and streaks. This really becomes a favorite to those who try it.
SPOTLESS WINDOW WASHING: You can expect some impressive results using WOW WATER for window washing. Clean
the window with a cleaning soluon as usual. A large so brush is eecve and fast. Hose the windows down with tap
water. Then as a nal rinse, spray your WOW WATER over the windows with a plasc garden sprayer and allow them to
dry. There will be no spots and no streaks le behind by dirt or mineral salts. Beer yet, a lot of labor is saved from not
having to squeegee or towel dry the windows. This is how the real pros do it.
SPOT-FREE RINSING OF GLASSES AND CRYSTAL: If you’ve ever broken your favorite crystal wine glass drying it with a
towel, then you’ll really appreciate this. Aer washing as usual, rinse the glassware by dipping it in a large open contain-
er of WOW WATER and allow to air dry. The results will dazzle you.
SPOT-FREE CAR RINSE: Okay, this you may say is pushing it! But those who take the me to try this will be thoroughly
amazed and never go back to their old way of washing a car at home. First, save up at least ve gallons of your WOW
WATER in several plasc containers. Then, aer you have thoroughly washed and rinsed your car with tap water as
usual, do not wipe down or dry o the car. Instead, immediately pour the WOW WATER (or spray with a plasc garden
sprayer) over every inch of the car. The more, the beer. Then you can let your car air dry even in the direct sunlight. It
will dry spot free and shiny – all without having to wipe it o and risk scratching the nish. It’s almost a miracle and
worth the eort. Your car will even retain its ne nish longer.

AVOID COMMON MISTAKES !
Review the most common missed steps made BEFORE starng. This will ensure an easy and
successful installaon.
1. Prepare and install all service components such as RO faucet, drain saddle, and pri-
mary shut-o valve before installing the WOW RO System (Pages 28-30).
2. Fully pre-ll lter cartridges according to (Step 3, Page 13) to remove all air before
aaching to system.
3. When installing pre-lled lters to system, you MUST make sure they are properly
aached and engaged to the stop tabs per Step 3 (Figure 3b, Page 13) instrucons.
Filters are labeled PRE, POST and RO. Ensure each lter matches posion on RO sys-
tem manifold. (Figure 3b, and 3c, Page 13).
4. Refrigerator/Icemakers and any other appliances beyond the primary faucet: You
must install a ball valve (isolaon valve) isolang any added appliance beyond the
primary faucet. (See Figure 5, Page 17). Valve must be in the closed or o posion
during the Start-Up Procedure. (See Step 5, Page 15).
5. Before beginning Start-up Procedures (Step 5, Page 15) make sure all tube connecons
match the Figure 1 diagram on Page 3.
6. Make sure system is ONLY connected to a cold water supply (Step 1, Page 9).
7. If your connecons to and from the WOW RO System have a leak (even one drop), the
system will not work. Repair leak (see Troubleshoong if necessary, Page 37) and re-
peat Start-up Procedures (Step 5, Page 15).
8. To avoid air-gap overowing onto counter, air-gap return line must never have loops or
sags in tubing.
9. If you are not using the WOW RO installaon kit, it is crical that installers use correct
color coded tubing (See installaon kit contents, Page 10).
10. If replacing an exisng RO system, make sure you replace all old tubing with new color
coded tubing.

maker, cooler, etc.) to install then you have the choice of using either port for the RO faucet.
i. If the RO faucet is more than ten feet in distance from the WOW RO System, then the 3/8”
FA1 port is preferred.
ii. Use the 1/4” FA2 port for the RO faucet and the 3/8” FA1 port for refrigerators/icemakers
etc.
Note: For connecng a REFRIGERATOR/ ICEMAKER, you MUST add a ball valve (isolaon valve) to properly iniate

Start-up Procedure
Before the WOW RO System is operaonal, it must be properly primed by removing all air from
the system.
Starng the WOW RO System:
A. Make sure the RO faucet and refrigerator ball valve (isolaon valve) is CLOSED.
B. Turn the Primary Shut-O Valve and Emergency Shut-O Valve on. Noce the sound of water
lling the system.
C. Within 3-4 minutes, the waste line from the system will open with a noceable exhaust of air
and water.
D. Aer waing another minute, open the RO faucet. Noce air/water exhausng from faucet
port. Wait for a steady stream of water and then CLOSE the faucet. (Refrigerator isolaon
valve sll closed).
E. Within 2 minutes, the waste port will open again with a shot of air/water exhausng. This can
be witnessed by by-passing the drain saddle and direcng the ow of the “D” line into a buck-
et. If the waste line stops within 2 to 3 minutes, repeat Step D & E, unl the ow from drain is
steady. If not, check for leaks on FA Line. You should noce a solid ow from the “D” Line.
Place the tube back into Drain Saddle. System should ll to a full status within 45 to 90
minutes. (See Note 1).
F. The system should be full, indicated by no audible or visible drain ow. Open the RO faucet
and empty the system to a trickle. (Refrigerator isolaon valve sll in closed posion).
G. Turn o the RO faucet and let the water make-up process rell the tank.
H. Repeat this process (Steps F & G) three (3) mes to completely prep and ush the lter car-
tridges and ensure the operaon of the system is stabilized. The refrigerator/icemaker ball
valve (isolaon valve) must be closed during this process and can only be opened when system
is full for the nal me. Next, you must follow procedures for bleeding lines, (Page 18).
I. System is now fully operaonal! If the system does not work, refer to Troubleshoong Guide,
(Page 37).
J. To insure the highest quality water, it is recommended to drain the system once a week.
Note 1: If your connecons along any FA lines have a leak (even one drop), the system will not work. Repair the
leak and repeat Start-up Procedure. Note 2: See Pages 16-23 if adding any appliances. Note 3: Unlike tradional
air charged RO systems, the WOW RO System will always have water in the tank, empty or full.

Installing & servicing the 810 leak detection base
/180 conversion kit to WOW RO 50/210 System
Prepare the WOWRO 50 by removing the tubing from the grey regulator underneath the mani-
fold. Push in the collet ush and pull the elbow ng out from the regulator, disengaging tubing.
Remove elbow ng from the opposite end at the RF Port (Tip: remove ng by pushing the
collet ush, then pull ng). Remove elbows from tubing. Use one for the RF Port from leak de-
tector.
Adding a Leak Detection System to a WOWRO 50
Step 1
Warning:
All WOW RO systems with leak detection bases are sensitive to moisture. Leaks
from other appliances underneath the kitchen sink (eg: plumbing, garbage
disposal, Hot tanks, etc.) or spray from servicing other appliances may cause
premature triggering of the shut-off valve, shutting down the RO system.
Customers should be informed of this, so they could cover the system before
any work being done.

17
Place the WOWRO 50 System upside down to locate the 3 tank base fastener holes. Place leak
base onto the tank base and align with the fasteners holes. Using the phillips head screws sup-
plied. Aach all of the screws to their stop point. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN ! Do same for 180 kit.
Attaching Leak Detection System 50
Turn system right side up. The 180 tray comes pre-plumbed. For the short tray, plumbing needs
to be assembled. Aached one end of the short tube to the regulator. Push in to a complete stop
(double check). Aach the other end of the short tube to the “IN” port of the leak detector.
Aach one end of the long tube to the RF Port. Aach the other end of the long tube to the
“OUT” port of the leak detector. Push in to a complete stop (double check).
This completes the Leak Tray addon.
OFF
Starting the WOWRO 50 with the Leak Detection
Go to the Installaon Manual and follow direcons on pages 13, 14, 15.
NOTE:
Your system now has an added shut-o switch. To start the system, all feed valves need to be
in the on posion, including the Leak Switch.

Final Inspection—Important
Aer going to the Installaon Manual and following direcons on pages 13, 14, 15.
Start your system and ensure that your installaon is completely (leak free) and making water,
make sure to completely wipe down the system and make sure the system is dry, prior to installing
leak pads, to ensure leak pads do not swell, shung system o.
Install Leak Pads
Aer determining system is dry and operaonal, install leak pads by ipping the leak switch in the
OFF posion and placing the pad in it’s posion. Now ip leak switch in the ON posion.
NOTE:
Be sure to remove the leak pad from it’s plasc wrapping.
If any moisture is present, the leak pad will soak it up and trigger the switch and shut o the
system.

PROBLEM REASON SOLUTION
System won’t make water Leak switch has been triggered to the
‘OFF’ posion.
Remove swollen leak pad, switch to the ‘ON’
posion and invesgate for a leak and repair.
Aer repair, replace leak pad and restart.

Connecng Addional Appliances to
WOW RO System
When connecng addional appliances to the WOW RO System, you must install a ball valve
(isolaon valve) isolang any added appliance beyond the primary faucet. (See Figure 5, Page
17). Valve must be in the closed or o posion during the Start-Up Procedure. (See Step 5,
Page 15).
There are many reasons why addional storage is required. If the system is installed in houses
with larger families, cooking needs alone may warrant more storage. In addion, devices with
larger storage capacies like coolers, will require greater draw down needs. Draw down refers
to amount of water that is released when opening up the faucet and emptying the tank from
start to nish (single pull). A standard WOW RO System holds 1½ gallons. The WOW RO System
has been designed in a modular format to add addional storage tanks as needed. (See Sizing
Chart, Page 17).

The WOW RO System is uniquely designed to connect to one or more appliances (Figure 5), includ-
ing refrigerator icemakers and door dispensers, coolers (both gravity fed and pressurized), under-
the-counter hot & cold vented systems, commercial steamers (restaurants), commercial and coee
makers, and other appliances that benet from RO water. This secon addresses “Do’s and Don’ts”
of connecng to one or more appliances. It also addresses how to determine storage and expan-
sion needs depending on how many appliances are hooked up.
General MUST Do’s for connecng ANY addional appliances:
A. It’s a must that the lter and water lines to any and all add-
ed outlets be clear of air. Note: System will not work with
air in the lines.
B. Close the isolaon valves to all addional outlets.
C. Charge the system to its full status (refer to Start-up,
Page 15).
D. Follow the instrucons provided from Pages 16-23.
Determining Your Expansion and Storage Needs:
A standard WOW RO System holds 1½ gallons. The WOW RO System has been designed in a mod-
ular format to add addional storage tanks as needed.
Review the chart below for each device connected. Add all addional tanks needed from right
hand column to determine the complete storage needs.
* Check device manual for actual reservoir capacity.
