Thank you for choosing APEC Reverse Osmosis systems. You now own the finest reverse osmosis system in America! Please read and become familiar with the instructions before proceeding with the installation. Before Installation: Inspect the system: Please take the system and all the components out of box. Inspect the system and all the connection fittings carefully, making sure nothing was damaged during shipping.
Part I. HOOK UP THE RO COUNTERTOP SYSTEM TO YOUR HOME FAUCET System hook up: Remove your faucet’s aerator (if there is one). Hook up the RO system’s faucet adapter to your faucet (see Figure A). If the connection does not match, try using the other Valve Adapters provided. Figure A Point B. Please hook up faucet Point A. This is the Pure Water Outlet Line. Please remove the Red adapter to your kitchen faucet. Cap from the end of the tubing. Figure B 1.
Part II. System Maintenance - Filter Change Instructions Filter Ports: All filters have Quick-Connect ports. Remove and connect tubing to filter ports as shown in the above “Quick-Connect Guide” diagram. Remove Filter: Please change one filter at a time to avoid mixing up the filters. New filters come with 2” protective plugs on each end. You can take them out by pressing on the collet ring with one finger and using a pair of pliers or hand to pull out the protective tubing (See Figure C1).
How to Replace Stage-1 Sediment Filter (CT-1SED) Change every 6 months or 600-800 gal pure water used: Figure D (Back View Of System) The Stage-1 Sediment filter is tucked behind the membrane housing. For ease of access, pull and lift the 2nd stage filter to the top position. Then, do the following: Step 1. Disconnect tubing from Point D & Point E (see Figure D) Discard used filter. (Follow “Quick-Connection Guide” for connection tips) Step 2. Snap on the new filter onto the 2 holding clips.
How to Replace Stage-2 Carbon Filter (CT-24CAB) Change every 6 months or 600-800 gal pure water used: Figure E (Back View Of System) The Stage-2 Pre-Carbon filter is located between Stage-1 and Stage-4 filters (See Figure E). Locate it, and follow these steps: Step 1. Disconnect tubing from Point F & Point G (See Figure E). Discard used Filter. (Follow “Quick-Connection Guide” for connection tips) Step 2. Snap on the new filter onto the 2 holding clips.
How to Replace Stage-3 Membrane (MEM-90) Change every 2-3 years: If Stage 1 & 2 pre-filters are changed regularly, the Stage-3 Membrane can last 2-3 years depending on your input water’s quality. The Membrane needs replacing when: The TDS (total dissolved solids) level in the pure water starts to increase (detected by a TDS meter), or when the water taste quality starts to decline. Replace the Membrane as follows: 1. Locate the Membrane-Housing (with “Filmtec Membrane” label on it.) 2.
How to Replace Stage-4 Post-Carbon Filter (CT-24CAB) Change every 2-3 years: Figure G Figure H Front View Of System Follow the same procedures as for changing the Stage-2 carbon filter. They are identical 10” carbon filters. To remove the Pure water output line, first use a pair of pliers and remove the tubing lock (red clip) from Point K (See Figure G). Use a flat head screwdriver to push and hold the collet ring into the stage 4 filter. Then pull out the pure water line.
TDS Meter (Option)-- How to Test Your Water Quality The TDS meter is used to test your water’s quality before and after the RO system. It also tells you when the membrane needs to be changed. Please follow instructions below: Use 2 clean glasses, fill one glass with Tap water, fill the other glass with Product (filtered) water (rinse this glass with filtered water several times to get an accurate reading).
RO-CTOP Pure Water Production Rate Input Water Pressure Time to fill 8 oz cup Time to fill 1 gallon jug Gallons Per Day 60 psi 60 seconds 16 minutes 90 gpd 50 psi 72 seconds 19.2 minutes 75 gpd 40 psi 90 seconds 24 minutes 60 gpd 30 psi 120 seconds 32 minutes 45 gpd * Production rate is based on input water temperature of 25 C (77 F). The RO-Ctop runs solely on the input water pressure from your water pipe line. The higher the feed pressure, the faster the unit can produce water.
