- CARE OF YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM -

To keep your reverse osmosis system operating and

producing high quality water, you must make sure supply water is always within the limits shown in the

specifications. Good supply water (soft water is rec-

ommended) helps to assure longer life from the RO

membrane cartridge, prefilter and postfilter car-

tridges. However, each of these will wear out in time and need replacement.

This reverse osmosis system contains a replace-

able treatment component critical for effective

removal of total dissolved solids. The monitor

faucet feature provides continuous analysis of the

systems performance. For systems not equipped

with the monitor faucet function, it is highly

recommended that you have your water tested at

least every 6 months to verify your system is

performing properly. Test kits are available by

calling 1-800-826-8553 ext. 47, or check the water testing section of your local phone directory.

If the RO assembly is wall mounted, you may be able

to replace parts with the assembly left on the wall. If

not, simply lift the RO assembly from the mounting

washers and lay on the cabinet floor when replacing

the prefilter and post filter cartridges and RO mem- brane.

Note: To prevent spillage, place a container under the

RO assembly, or put the RO assembly in a container to catch the water.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting parts, be sure to close the water supply valve to the RO.
