About the reverse osmosissystem.
How the Reverse OsmosisSystem Works
Reverse Osmosis reduces Tolal Dissolved Solids (TDS) and organic matter from waler by diffilsing it through a special
inembrane. Tile meinbrane separates nfinerals and impurities froin tile x_rater and dmy are flushed to lhe drain. High
quality product water goes directly to tim
drinking water
fbucet or to 1he storage tank. The system ulakes a good supply
of drinking water each day. How lnuch it maJxes depends on the feed water supply pressure, temperature and quality.
The prefilter and postfiher are replaceable cartridges. The carbon prefiher reduces chlorine while also filtering sediments.
The postfiher reduces any other undesirable tastes and odors before you use the x_-aten
The system includes an eleclronic fiumet a._sembly *dth a prefiher and posltilter change reminden When six months have
pa._sed, a flashing blue light *rill remind you to change 1he n_,ofilters.
Description of the Reverse Osmosis System
_Pl_filter--Water from the cold supply pipe is directed m the
prefiher cartridge. The prefilter is a replaceable rudiment
cartridge containing activated cartxm. The prefiher re(hlces

_vtter flo_ from lhe prefilter to tim Reverse. (_mosis cartridge.
_Reverse OsmosisCartridge--The middle cartridge includes a
tightly wound, special membrane. Water is fbrced through tile
cartridge where the membrane reduces the dissolved solids and
org_aafic matron High quality product water exits lhe Re_/erse
Osmosis caru'idge and goes Iv)the storage tank. Reject water, with
tim dissolved _)lids and organic malter, leaves the cartridge and
is discharged m the drain throu[01 1/4" tubing.
_]Postfilter--After leaving tile storage area, but before going
to the system tZaucel, product waler goes Io lhe postfilter
carlridge. The postfiher is also a replaceable sediment cartridge
that conlains activated carbon. Any remaining tastes, odors or
sedilnenls are reduced from product waler by the postfiher.
Clean, high quality drinking water flows through the robing
and to lhe systeul faucet.
_Storage Tank--The storage area holds up m 2-1/2 gallons
of product waler. A diaphragm inside lhe lank keeps water
pressurized, when Ihe tank is fifll, for fkst flow to the faucet
when drinking water is needed.
