Introduction; Operational Parameters - Watts Premier RO-PURE PLUS Manual De Instalación, Operación Y Mantenimiento

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Premier Reverse Osmosis (RO)
water treatment system. This Premier water treatment system has been
designed and tested to provide you with high quality drinking water when
installed, maintained and used in accordance with the instructions in this
Manual, and any requirements of local, state and federal law. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury, property damage or damage to the
equipment. This Manual should be considered a permanent part of your
system and should be kept available for easy reference by any user.
If this system or any of its parts becomes damaged or needs repair,
turn off the water supply, stop using the system and contact an
experienced service individual immediately.
If on-product labels or this Manual are misplaced, damaged or il-
legible, or if you require additional copies, please contact Watts for
these items at no charge.
If you are ever uncertain about a particular task or the proper method
of operating this system, consult this Manual, contact a licensed
plumber, or contact Watts at 800-752-5582
Your Reverse Osmosis System:
Osmosis is the process of water passing through a semi permeable
membrane in order to balance the concentration of contaminants on
each side of the membrane. A semi permeable membrane is a barrier
that will allow clean drinking water through, but will reduce the passage
of containments such as arsenic or lead*. This reverse osmosis system
also utilizes carbon block filtration technology, and can therefore provide
a higher quality drinking water than carbon filtration systems alone.
*This product cannot effectively reduce the trivalent form of
Arsenic. Please read the Arsenic Fact Sheet and Performance
Data Sheet in the back of this manual for additional information.
The Stages of Filtration
Your system is a four stage RO which is based upon separate
treatment segments within the one complete water filtration system.
These stages are as follows:
Stage 1 – Sediment filter, recommended change 6 months.
The first stage of your RO system is a 5 micron
sediment filter that traps sediment and other particulate
matter like dirt, silt and rust which affect the taste and
appearance of your water.
Stage 2 – Carbon filter, recommended change 6 months.
The second stage contains a 5 micron carbon block filter.
This helps ensure that chlorine and other materials that
cause bad taste and odor are greatly reduced.
Stage 3 - Membrane, recommended change 2-5 years.
Stage three is the heart of the reverse osmosis system,
the 50GPD (Gallons Per Day) RO membrane. This semi
permeable membrane will effectively remove TDS, Sodium
and a wide range of contaminants such as Perchlorate,
Chromium, Arsenic, Copper, Lead as well as Cysts, such
as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Because the process
of extracting this high quality drinking water takes time,
your RO water treatment system is equipped with a
storage tank.
Stage 4 - VOC Carbon post filter, recommend change 12
months.
The Premier RO-Pure Plus system conforms to NSF/
ANSI 53 VOC reduction. Through the VOC filter, VOC's
like MTBE Atrazine, Benzene, 2,4-D,Lindane and others
are removed from your drinking water. It is estimated that
VOC's are present in one-fifth of the nation's water sup-
plies. These water contaminants can enter ground water
from a variety of sources including localized use of herbi-
cides and pesticides, gasoline or oil spills, leaking under-
ground fuel tanks, septic system cleaners, and chemicals
used in the dry-cleaning industry. See the performance
data sheet for VOC reduction performance.
NOTICE
Filter & Membrane life may vary based upon local water
conditions and/or use patterns.

NOTICE
Installation must comply with State and local plumbing regula-
tions. Do not use with water that is micro biologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
System is intended to be installed using the cold water
supply only.

Hardness
Hardness: Recommended hardness not to exceed 10 grains per
gallon, or 170ppm.
* System will operate with hardness over 10 grains but the mem-
brane life may be shortened. Addition of a water softener may
lengthen the membrane life.
Water Pressure: The operating water pressure in your home should
be tested over a 24 hour period to attain the maximum pressure. If
the incoming water pressure is above 100 psi then a water pressure
regulator is required. A booster pump is needed for incoming water
pressure under 40psi.
Copper Tubing: Reverse Osmosis water should not be run through
copper tubing as the purity of the water will leach copper causing
an objectional taste in water and pin holes may form in the tubing.
Watts Premier supplies speciality filters (part numbers WP107008,
WP560060 and WP560059) that can be used if copper tubing fol-
lows the Reverse Osmosis unit. Be sure to follow any state or local
regulations during installation.
