Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of property damage or personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Instructions Operating Instructions

Check with your state and local public works department for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow these guidelines as you install the Reverse Osmosis system. Using a qualified installer is recommended.

If house water pressure is over the maximum (125 pounds per square inch), install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply line to the Reverse Osmosis system.

Be sure the water supply conforms with the

Specification Guidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact your municipal water company or your local health department for a list of contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories certified by your state to analyze drinking water.

WARNING: Before using the Reverse Osmosis system for the first time, the system must be purged. The Reverse Osmosis cartridge contains a food grade preservative that must be purged from the system. The preservative will give product water an unpleasant taste and odor.

This product reduces fluoride in drinking water. Please consult your dentist if you have questions.

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality

without adequate disinfection before the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for further information.

This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment membrane cartridge critical for effective reduction of Total Dissolved Solids. The water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily. See the About the Water Test Kit section. This system is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more than 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured as N and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 280kPa (40 psig) or greater.

Installation

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

This Reverse Osmosis system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type of weather. Water freezing in the system will damage it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.

Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system must be between the minimum of 40°F and the maximum of 100°F. See the Specification Guidelines.

Extended non-use of the Reverse Osmosis system. If the system has not been used for one week or more, open the RO water faucet and allow the system to drain. Close the RO water faucet and allow the system to regenerate the water supply.

Recommended installation is under the sink. However, the unit can be installed in a remote location, up to 20 feet away from the sink. Additional installation materials may be required. If Reverse Osmosis system is connected to a refrigerator icemaker, a special icemaker connection kit is required (RVKIT). Do not use copper tubing for the connection between the Reverse Osmosis system and the refrigerator.

WARNING: Discard all unused parts and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after the installation could be a choke hazard.

Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis system and after servicing inner parts, including replacement of prefilter, postfilter and Reverse Osmosis cartridge. It is important to have clean hands while handling inner parts of the system.

See the Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System section.

This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the Reverse Osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance. See Automatic Shutoff Valve section on page 14.

BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL CODES.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
