MAINTENANCE
RO Membrane Replacement (2 - 5 Years)
Replace: RO Membrane - 50 GPD (Green Label PN# 105331)
Membranes have a life expectancy between 2 and 5 years, depending on the incoming water conditions and the amount
the RO system is used. This 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.
Normally, a membrane would be replaced during a semiannual or annual filter change. However, if at any time you
notice a reduction in water production or an unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis water, it could be time to replace
the membrane. Premier recommends replacing the membrane when TDS reduction falls below 75%.
A water sample may be sent to Premier for a free diagnosis of your membranes performance. To send a water sample,
use 2 clean containers and fill 1/2 cup of tap water in one container and 1/2 cup of RO water in 2nd container. Clearly
label each sample. Send the samples to the address listed on the cover of this manual attention “Water Samples”.
Premier will test the water and mail or call you with the results.
Annual Sanitization
NOTICE
Do not change your post-carbon filter until the sanitization has
been completed. The pre-filters and membrane can be changed
before the sanitization
Step 1: Turn off the water supply to your RO system at the adapt-a-valve and
open the RO faucet to drain the storage tank.
NOTICE
If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator/ice
maker, make sure the connection has been turned off. Do not re-
open the connection until the sanitization process is complete.
Step 2: Locate the tube that runs between your filter module and the storage
tank and disconnect at both ends.
Step 3: Drain any remaining water in the tube
Step 4: Hold both ends of the tube together with the ends pointed away from
your face. Using a dosing syringe (see figure) slowly insert 1 teaspoon
(5 mL) of common household bleach into the tube.
WARNING
!
Do not use needle syringe
DANGER
!
IF BLEACH GETS IN EYES: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and
gently with water for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses if
present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call
a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Step 5: While covering one end of the tube with your finger, insert the other
into the tank. Then insert the open end into the filter module.
Step 6: Turn the incoming water back on and let the system fill for
approximately 10 minutes
Step 7: Turn off the incoming water and let the system sit for 1 minute.
