Kinetico Water Systems K5 Manual De Instrucciones página 10

 Installation of this product must comply with all applicable laws.
 Provisions for an antisiphon air gap should be part of the installation to prevent a cross
connection between the water system and the waste system.
 Do not use on water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
 Do not use on water that contains more than 0.1 ppm iron, more than 10 gpg hardness, more
than 3000 ppm TDS or falls outside the pH range of 3 to 11.
 Do not use systems with sediment prefilters on water that contains chlorine.
 If a noticeable change in product water production, taste or odor occurs, contact your
authorized Kinetico dealer.
 Models used for nitrate reduction are 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 280 kPa (40
psig) or greater (with test kit – part no. 7329). If you purchased your system specifically for
nitrate reduction, Kinetico recommends periodic (quarterly) testing with a test kit #7329 to
assure that nitrate/nitrites are being reduced to acceptable levels.
 This system shall only be used for arsenic reduction on chlorinated water supplies containing
detectable residual free chlorine at the system inlet.

PERFORMANCE and MAINTENANCE
This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment 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 ensure the same
efficiency and contaminant reduction performance. This component is also critical for the
effective reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS). Test the product water quarterly to verify
that the system is performing satisfactorily. The flow from the faucet will shut off or slow
to a trickle. This shut down prevents the effluent contaminant level from exceeding the
EPA's maximum contaminant level under normal operating conditions. To restore service,
replace both the prefilter and postfilter cartridges and any auxiliary cartridges that may be
installed on your system. Annual replacement is recommended even if your system has not
yet shut down. See chart below to select cartridges for your system. These cartridges are
available through your local Kinetico dealer. You may opt to have the product water tested
at this time to verify performance. For operation and maintenance information, consult
the owner's manual. Installation instructions are available for review from your authorized
Kinetico dealer.
WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station carries a limited manufacturer's warranty. If the
Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station is installed in conjunction with a Kinetico Water
Conditioner, the warranty covers the parts of the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station for
ten years and the reverse osmosis membrane for ten years. If the Kinetico K5 Drinking
Water Station is installed without a Kinetico Water Conditioner, the K5 Drinking Water
Station parts are covered for ten years and the membrane is covered for four years. For
complete details, see the actual warranty. The warranty will be void if influent water
conditions exceed those specified in the system parameters.

CONTAMINANT REDUCTION CAPABILITIES
IMPORTANT NOTICE! Read this performance data sheet and compare the capabilities of
the K5 unit with your actual water treatment needs. Please note that the contaminants
listed below are not necessarily in your water and that while testing was performed
under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. It is recommended
that before purchasing a water treatment unit, you have your water supply tested to
determine your actual water treatment needs. The system has been tested according to
NSF/ANSI 42 and 58 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of
the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration
less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in
NSF/ANSI 58. The chart below contains the following information based on test results:
 A list of substances that will be reduced by a Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station
 The percent of reduction that can be expected
 Conditions under which the units were tested (pressure, pH and temperature)

Influent and effluent
 The EPA's maximum contaminant level (MCL)
