Thank you for choosing our Ultra 6 Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems. With proper care your water ltration
system will produce high quality drinking water for many years. The following is a brief overview of the system.
Your Reverse Osmosis System:
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
particles like clean drinking water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.
Read carefully and follow the instruction in this manual before proceeding with the actual installation. Pay
particular attention to all warnings, cautions and notes. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
damage to the equipment or other property. System and installation need to comply with state and local laws
and regulations. If you have any questions, please contact us at 800-741-4426 or call your local dealer.
Your system is a six stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water
ltration system. These stages are as follows:
Stage 1 – Sediment lter, recommended change 12 months
The rst stage of your RO system is a ve micron sediment lter that traps sediment and other particulate
matter like dirt, silt and rust which affect the taste and appearance of your water.
Stage 2 – Carbon lter, recommended change 12 months
The second stage contains a 5 micron carbon block lter. This helps ensure that chlorine and other materials
that cause bad taste and odor are greatly reduced.
Stage 3 and Stage 4 – KDF/GAC lter, recommended change 12 months
The third stage contains a KDF/GAC lter. KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a high purity copper-zinc
formulation which removes chlorine, lead, mercury, iron and hydrogen sulde from the water. Removing
these impurities prolongs the life of to Reverse Osmosis membrane. The GAC lter (Granular Activated
Carbon) has an extremely large amount of adsorption surface area. The design of GAC promotes high ow
to the RO membrane while removing chlorine taste and odor as well as reduction of VOC’s.
Stage 5- Membrane, recommended change 2-5 years
Stage five is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the 50GPD (Gallons Per Day) RO membrane. This
semi permeable membrane will effectively remove TDS (Total Dissolved Solids,). Because the process
of extracting this high quality drinking water takes time, your RO water treatment system is equipped
with a storage tank.
Stage 6- Carbon post lter, recommend change 12 months
The nal stage is a high quality carbon lter. Drinking water enters this lter after the water storage
tank and it is used as a nal polishing lter.
Note: Filter & Membrane life may vary based upon local water conditions and/or use patterns.
System Maintenance
Just because you cannot taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Contaminants such as Lead, Chromium and
Arsenic are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the lter elements, other bad
tastes and odors will be apparent in your drinking water.
It is important to change out your lters at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system manual. When
replacing the lter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. If you have any questions, please
contact us at 800-741-4426 or call your local dealer.

Installation must comply with State and local plumbing regulations. Do not use with water that is micro biologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
System is intended to be installed using the cold water supply only.
Tools Recommended For Installation

√ 1 1/4” Adjustable Wrench √ Phillips bit for electric drill
√ 1/2" Open End Wrench √ Needle Nose Pliers
√ 5/8” Open End Wrench √ Adjustable Pliers

Contents of the Reverse Osmosis (RO) System
Operating Temperatures: Maximum 100°F (37.8°C) Minimum 40°F (4.4°C)
Operating Pressure: Maximum 100 psi (7.0 kg/cm

) Minimum 40 psi (2.80 kg/cm

)
pH Parameters: Maximum 11 Minimum 2
Iron: Maximum 0.2 ppm
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) < 1800 ppm
Turbidity < 5 NTU
Hardness Maximum 10 Grains Per Gallon *
Hardness: Recommended hardness not to exceed 10 grains per gallon, or 170 parts per million.
*System will operate with hardness over 10 grains but the membrane life may be shortened.
Addition of a water softener may lengthen the membrane life.
Copper Tube: Reverse Osmosis water should not be run through copper tube as the purity of the water will
leach copper causing an undesired taste in water and pin holes may form in the tube.
Water Pressure: The operating water pressure in your home should be tested over a 24 hour
period to attain the maximum pressure. If the incoming water pressure is above 100 psi then a
water pressure regulator is required. A booster pump is needed for incoming water pressure
under 40psi.

4) After drilling, remove all sharp edges and make sure the surroundings of the sink are
cooled before mounting the faucet.
1) Determine desired location for the RO faucet on your sink and place a piece of
masking tape over where the hole is to be drilled. Mark the center of the hole on the
tape.
2) Using a variable speed drill set on the slowest speed, drill a 1/8“ pilot hole through
both porcelain and metal casing of sink at the marked center of the desired
location. Use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the drill bit cool (If drill bit gets
hot it may cause the porcelain to crack or chip).
3) Using a 1/2” diamond tip hole saw, proceed to drill the large hole. Keep drill speed
on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the hole saw cool
during cutting.
Counter Top / Porcelain & Stainless Steel Sink
Note: Most sinks are pre drilled with 1 ¼” diameter hole that you can use for your RO faucet. (If you are
already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see step 1) Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and
can crack or chip easily. Use extreme caution when drilling. UDI accepts no responsibility for
damage resulting from the installation of faucet. Diamond tip bit recommended.
Marble Counter-top
We recommend contacting a qualied contractor for drilling a hole in a marble counter-top.

How to use the Quick Connect Fittings
To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed into the tting. The unique locking system holds the tube rmly in place
without deforming it or restricting ow. Use the steps below in reference to any quick connect tube connections.
It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score
marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before
inserting into tting.
Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into
the tube stop.
Push the tube into the tting, to the tube stop. The collet
(gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube
rmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent
leak proof seal.
Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. It is a good
practice to test the system prior to leaving site and /or
before use.
To disconnect, ensure the system is
depressurized before removing the tube. Push in the collect
squarely against face of tting. With the collet held in this
position, the tube can be removed. The tting can then be
reused.
