Does this unit soften water?
Your RO Syem will soften water. However, hard water does reduce the lifespan of your lters.
What is the discharge rate?
The typical discharge range is one to three gallons for every one gallon produced. Your water pressure,
incoming water quality, and water temperature will aect your RO Syem’s discharge rate.
How often do I change Filters? Is there an indicator?
The Sediment, GAC, and PAC Filters should be changed every 6 months. The RO Membrane should be
changed every one year at the same time as the second change of the 6 month lters. There is no direct
indicator for lter changes. However, if you notice a drop in water quality before the 6 months or 1 year
mark this may mean that due to your water quality your lter has degraded. If you reach 6 months or 1
year without noticing a change in tae you should ill change your lter at this point as they are no longer
viable.

New lters (or lters that have experienced extended disuse) can develop carbon residue. Two hours of
conant ow is recommended to release any extra carbon before the water is safe to drink.
