APEC ROES-UV75 System Filter Change Instruction

Changing Stages 1, 2, 3 Pre-Filters: (should be changed at least every 6-12 months)

1) Turn OFF cold water supply to RO system by turning the needle valve stem to the right until it stops, or you can turn

off the cold main water valve. Turn OFF the tank ball valve by turning the blue handle 90 degrees. Lift up RO faucet

lever briefly to relieve the built-up pressure inside the RO system. This will make opening the housings easier.

2) Open housing: Have the RO standing upright. Slip the plastic wrench onto the #1 housing. Looking down from a top

view, you should open the housing turning clockwise. If necessary, lay RO down on the floor to get a better leverage. If

the housing is too tight, use a hammer and lightly tap on the wrench handle to help turn the wrench.

3) Discard 3 used filters, wash housings with mild soap, rinse off. Put 3 new filters into their respective housings: sediment

filter in stage-1, Carbon block filters in stages 2 & 3.

4) Close up the housings. Make sure each housing has a black O-ring in the housing grooves. Use wrench to tighten

each housing.

5) Remember: Turn ON the cold water supply and OPEN the tank valve after finished changing filters! Check for leaks!

After Taking the housing off, take out the dirty filters and put the

new 3 pre-filters in. Remember, Stage 2 and Stage 3 are the

same carbon filters.

Changing Stage-4 Membrane: (should be changed every 2-3 years)

1) Turn OFF the cold water supply to RO system. Turn OFF the tank ball-valve by turning blue handle 90 degrees. Lift up

RO faucet lever briefly to relieve the built-up pressure inside the RO system. This will make opening the housings easier.

2) See Fig. C. Locate the Membrane housing on the system (labeled “Membrane”). Remove the RED tubing from the

housing’s cap at point D (see Fig C). To remove tubing, Push In and Hold Down on the collet ring square against the

fitting. With the collet held in this position the tube can be removed. Open up the cap (turn counter-clockwise). Remove

the used membrane. Discard. Insert the new membrane using a pair of pliers. Push membrane into housing tightly

Avoid touching the Membrane with your hands to prevent contamination!

3) Important! Make sure the “double-ring” end of the membrane goes into the housing first as shown in Fig. A. above.

The membrane cannot filter water if it’s inserted in the WRONG direction!

4) Close the housing cap. Reconnect the RED tubing to the cap by pushing it into the quick connect fitting, then gently pull

back on the tubing to make sure the connection was secure. Turn on the cold water supply and open the tank valve.

Let the RO system run to re-fill the tank (takes about 2-3 hours). Check for leaks!

5) Drain the first tank of water (through faucet) to flush out the new membrane! The 2

tank of water is ready for use.

Changing Stage-5 UV Bulb: (should be changed at least every 12 months) 1) Unplug the light Transformer from the power outlet. 2) Do not open the UV light housing. 3) Disconnect the Transformer’s adaptor and UV light’s adaptor at Point T (Use Fig. C for reference). 4) Use a Flat Screwdriver and gently extract the light bulb on the flat surface at Point U. (Use Fig. C for reference). 5) Insert the new light bulb at Point U. 6) Make sure the bulb is completely in and secure.

Changing Stage-6 Carbon TCR Filter: (should be changed with the membrane every 2-3 years) Fig. C 1) Remove the OLD filter: See Fig.B. Disconnect the tubing from Point K and tubing at Point H. To remove tubing, Push In and Hold Down on the collet ring square against the fitting. With the collet held in this position the tube can be removed. Use a wrench to unscrew the fittings at ends of the filter where the tubing connected to. You will put these 2 fittings on the new filter. Discard the used filter.
