Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations on selecting the RKIN Zero Installation Purifier. RKIN water filters are among the best appliances you can find on the market to improve water taste and quality. With the water quality of our environment worsening, we have been prompted to design and manufacture RKIN Zero Installation Purifier - a compact,... -
Page 6: What Is Natural Osmosis And Reverse Osmosis (Ro)
Today, reverse osmosis is one of the best methods for improving the characteristics of water by a physical process (without using chemicals). For video walkthroughs and online user guide, please visit: https://rkin.com/guide/... -
Page 7: How Does The Membrane Work
RO MEMBRANE HOW DOES THE mEmBRANE WORK? Pressure is applied to the water on the inlet side of the semi permeable membrane, so that part of it (RO water) will flow through the pores of the membrane, while the rest of the water (water rejected with high salt concentration) will be diverted back to the supply pitcher to recycle and optimize performance. -
Page 8: Contaminants Removed By Reverse Osmosis
The chemical composition and concentration of salts and other substances in the inlet water will affect the water produced. The reverse osmosis membrane of the RKIN Zero Installation Purifier is able to reduce the concentration of elements and compounds listed in the following tables and more. -
Page 9: Operating Conditions And Cautions
RKIN Zero Installation Purifier is designed for TDS up to 800 ppm. For TDS above 800 ppm, consult your dealer. (If the water being filtered is from a public water supply, it will comply with requirements for water to be used for the RKIN purifier.) -
Page 10: Startup And Use
10 \ STARTUP AND USE STARTup AND OpERATING 1. Remove Zero Installation Purifier and contents from box and place on a convenient counter top or table within three feet (1 meter) of an electrical outlet. (fig. 1) 2. Equipment must be operated on a level surface and not inclined. (fig. 2) 3. - Page 11 / 11 STARTUP AND USE 6. Replace the supply pitcher to the base of the RKIN Zero Installation Purifier, being sure the pitcher is securely seated into the base. (The Push Button Control should glow steady blue.) 7. Press the control button once. (fig. 7) The purifier will draw water from the supply pitcher and direct purified water...

Page 13: Filtering Cycle Time
/ 13 FILTERING CYCLE TIME FILTERING CYCLE TImE The time required to complete one cycle will vary according to water quality, water temperature and how long the filters have been used. The filtering process will turn off automatically once the cycle is completed. Filtration completed within 20 Filtration incomplete after 20 minutes minutes or less. -
Page 14: Changing Water In Supply Pitcher
14 \ WATER SUPPLY CHANGING WATER IN SuppLY pITCHER. After completing a filtration cycle, completely empty the supply pitcher, and refill with fresh water before starting another cycle. The water remaining in the supply pitcher after a filtration cycle has a higher concentration of TDS, so starting a new cycle, by adding fresh water to this remaining concentrate water will lower system performance and can damage the RO membrane and filters. -

16 \ FILTER REPLACEMENT FILTER REPLACEMENT For easy to follow filter replacement videos, please visit https://rkin.com/guide/ Periodic filter replacement is required to insure water quality and proper performance of filters. These are the recommended filter change periods to be used as a guideline for municipal inlet water. Filters may need to be changed more often if inlet water is of lower quality. -

Page 19: Ro Membrane Replacement
70 - 80% > Low Quality If rejection goes below 70% the membrane life has come to an end. *Only applicable to AlcaPure Edition: After the RO membrane, the filtered water passes through the post filter which adds minerals to the water, raising the TDS by about 20 - 40 PPM. So the TDS after the post filter will be higher than immediately after the RO membrane. - Page 20 20 \ RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT HOW TO REPLACE THE RO MEMBRANE For easy to follow filter replacement videos, please visit https://rkin.com/guide/ 1. Remove the back cover. 2. Remove the postfilter from the postfilter retaining clips, and remove the retaining clips from the RO cartridge.
- Page 21 / 21 RO MEMBRANE REPLACEMENT 7. Remove the new RO cartridge from its packaging and remove the protection caps from the top and bottom of the cartridge. 8. Replace the elbow connectors to their corresponding ports on the RO cartridge. Connect the tube from the prefilter (1) to the top of the RO membrane (2) Connect the tube with the FLOW RESTRICTOR (3) to the port on the LEFT (4) Connect the tube going to the POST FILTER (5) to the port on the RIGHT (6).
