Instructions / Assembly

For Model VRO-5 and VRO-5WP:

Step 1 Remove filter housings at stages 1, 2, and 3 and empty the water.

Step 2 Insert a 5 micron Sediment filter (cloth like appearance) into the 1st filter housing which

is the one on the water inlet side (white tubing) of the RO system and re-install housings.

Step 3 Insert a new 5 micron Carbon Block filter into 2nd filter bowl and re-install housings.

Step 4 Insert a new 5 micron Carbon Block filter (white end cap and plastic netting) into 3rd

filter bowl and re-install housings.

Step 5 The carbon in-line filter is located between the RO faucet and storage tank. It is

attached to the RO Membrane with brackets. The blue tubing is attached to the

Carbon Post-filter. Remove it by loosening the fitting on both ends of the post filter and

replace with new filter.

Continue to Step 7.

Note: This is a good time to check the air pressure in your storage tank. For instructions please

refer to page 18.

Step 7 Perform steps 6 through 9 in the Six Month System Maintenance section for startup

directions.

The membrane has a life expectancy between 12 to 18 months, depending on the incoming

water conditions and the amount the RO system is used. The reverse osmosis membrane is

critical for effective reduction of

total dissolved solids (TDS). The product water should be tested periodically to verify that the

system is performing satisfactorily.

Step 1 Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO by turning the needle valve on the slip

joint connection clockwise until it stops.

Step 2 Close the valve on the holding tank.

Step 3 Open the RO Faucet and allow water to drain from the tank until it is completely empty.

Step 1 Remove the tube fittings from the RO membrane cap.

Step 2 Use the wrench provided to remove the cap from the housing.

Step 3 Use a pair of pliers to remove the membrane from the housing. Grip the membrane and

pull firmly on the membrane to remove from the housing and discard.

Step 4 Lubricate the O-rings on the new membrane with water only. Insert the end with the

two black O-rings first into the housing.

Step 5 Once the membrane has been inserted into the housing you must give a firm push to

properly seat the membrane. Replace membrane housing cap and tighten with the

supplied wrench.

Step 6 Follow the start up instructions on page 14.
