- WHAT YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WILL DO -

Your Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water System

is a water treatment unit. It uses household water

pressure to reverse a natural physical process called

osmosis. Water, under pressure, is forced through a

semi-permeable membrane where minerals and im- purities are filtered out. Clean drinking water goes to

the faucet or storage, while minerals and impurities are sent to the drain with RO waste water. The miner-

als and impurities are measured in water as total dis- solved solids (TDS).

The system includes replaceable pre and postfilter

sediment-carbon cartridges. The prefilter removes

sand, silt, dirt, rust particles, other sediments, and chlorine from the water supply before it can enter the

RO membrane. The postfilter removes any tastes

and/or odors that may remain in the water, after

passing through the RO membrane, and just before

going to the RO faucet. To prevent water waste, an

automatic shutoff valve closes when the RO faucet is

closed and the storage tank is full.

Your reverse osmosis system gives you a continuous

supply of sparkling clear, delicious water for drink-

ing, cooking and other uses. Foods will look and taste better too. Having high quality RO product wa-

ter at your fingertips eliminates the need to buy bottled water. The storage tank holds over 2 gallons

of RO product water for your needs.

- BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL THE RO SYSTEM -

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE YOUR KEN-

MORE REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE

INSTALLED ON SOFTENED WATER.

CAUTION: A refrigerator icemaker may not operate

properly when connected to a reverse osmosis sys- tem that has been installed on a water system that op-

erates outside of the specified pressures listed on page 16.

Check Your Water Supply: The cold water supply to the RO system must be within certain quality limits.

See the specification table on page 16. If supply water is not within limits, the RO system can not make

product water as it should and reduced RO mem- brane life will result.

Trained sales people at Sears can perform a free water

analysis. This basic test can help determine if any

additional water treatment is required before the RO system.

CAUTION: Chlorine in the water will destroy the

RO membrane. Most cities add chlorine to the water

supply to kill bacteria. The prefilter removes chlorine

up to the limits shown in the specifications before it

enters the RO membrane. It is important to replace

the prefilter cartridge at least every 6 months. See the RO care guide on page 13.

Check Parts Included: Unpack the carton and re-

move the RO system. In addition to the assembled

RO and the storage tank, the system includes the

parts illustrated below, a separate length of tubing, and this manual.
