INTRODUCTION
Your Reverse Osmosis (R.O) System provides clear, fresh water in your home. This compact unit is designed to
force pressurized water through a semi-permeable membrane which rejects contaminants suspended in the
water. This membrane permits passage of the improved water to a holding tank. It is then available for use for
drinking, cooking, or making ice cubes.
GENERAL HINTS
USE LOTS OF R.O. WATER: Your R.O. system will perform better and last longer with heavier usage. Use
your R.O. water for pets, plants, steam irons, developing pictures, aquariums, automobile batteries, juices,
infant formula, ice cubes, cooking, coffee and tea, etc. See what a difference it makes.
TO KEEP WATER IT’S FRESHEST: In addition to heavy usage it is a good idea to drain your storage tank
once a week. Before going to bed, open the faucet and let it run until it stops. Once it has stopped, close the
faucet, your tank will refill during the night.
WHILE GONE ON VACATION: If the water supply to your house is turned off, or if you are gone more
than 1 month, you must remove the R.O. membrane to protect it from drying out. Remove entire membrane
module housing, wrap in plastic and store in refrigerator until you return. You will also need to drain the storage
tank to prevent bacteria growth. Discard the first tank water of water after restarting the system upon your
return.
If you will be gone for a short time and water supply is not turned off you should leave your faucet handle in
the up position. This slow dripping will help prevent the build up of bacteria.
CHANGE FILTERS AS RECOMMENDED: This cannot be over emphasized. After 6-12 months of
collecting dirt, sand, and other impurities, these filters cannot hold any more. The filters may plug up
completely cutting off the flow of drinking water or they may allow these impurities to pass through to the
sensitive R.O. membrane causing damage and reducing the purity of your water.
PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING: Failure to do so may result in cracking of the filter housing and water
leakage.
MAIL IN REGISTRATION CARD: Return to insure proper warranty coverage.
