Installation CAUTION! The water supply to the unit MUST be COLD WATER ONLY. Using HOT WATER will severely damage your RO System. Diverter Valve 1.
Using the System When the diverter valve is in the vertical position water will come through your sink’s faucet into your sink. You can still use faucet as you normally would. When the diverter valve is in the horizontal position water will be sent to the RO System and pure clean drinking water will come through your RO faucet. When using the RO Faucet the waste water (carrying rejected contaminants away from the RO membrane) will pour from the smaller port into your sink.
Once you are sure there are no leaks and water has begun to come out of the RO Faucet, let the system run for two hours. This will flush out any loose carbon fines and prime your filters. Inspect your system occasionally during this time to make sure there are no leaks. Your water may be cloudy for the first week of operation. This is just air bubbles escaping from the new system. You can shift the sides of your system up and down while running your water to help this air escape.
How to Change the RO Membrane (Recommended about once a year) NOTE! Make sure water flow to the system is off Make sure the O-Ring is in place before you tighten the Membrane Housing Cap 1. Remove the 3 stem elbows attached to the Reverse Osmosis Membrane Housing. For detailed directions of disconnecting these refer to the Quick Connect Guide (Page 12) 2. Unscrew the cap from the Membrane Housing and remove the Membrane inside, be sure to note the correct orientation of the membrane 3.
