IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I 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.
I If house water pressure is over the maximum
(120 pounds per square inch), install a pressure
reducing valve in the water supply line to the
Reverse Osmosis system.
I 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:
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.
WARNING:
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
This Reverse Osmosis system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I Recommended installation is under the sink.
However, the unit can be installed in a remote
location, up to 20 feet away from the sink.
• However, additional materials will be required,
including additional tubing and extension
phone cable. This extension phone cable
must be 6 conductor wire and connectors;
typical 4 conductor wire will not work. See parts
list to obtain additional materials from GE.
• Locating the tank on a basement floor, with the
faucet at a first floor sink may result in some loss
of flow rate and capacity (approximately 20%).
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
property damage or personal injury.
Before using the Reverse Osmosis
Do not use with water that is
without adequate disinfection before or after 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
component critical to 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.
Installing a second tank will improve this
performance. An RVKIT can be used.
I 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.
I 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.
I This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable
treatment component critical for effective
reduction of total dissolved solids. This product
water shall be tested periodically to verify that the
system is performing satisfactorily. See the About
the Water Test Kit section.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE STATE
AND LOCAL CODES.
