ADDITIONAL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
INFORMATION
Non-potable Water Sources:
Warning: Do not use with 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.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis membrane filter:
This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable 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.
Arsenic Reduction:
Arsenic (As) is found naturally in some well water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It must be
measured by a lab test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the result
from your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have the water tested by an accredited lab. The
local health department or the state environmental health agency can provide a list of certified labs. Further
information about arsenic in water can be found through the EPA's website at
www.epa.gov/sfaewater/arsenic.html.
There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic (As (V)) and trivalent arsenic (As (III)). Special sampling
procedures are needed for a lab to determine what type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the
water. In well water, arsenic may be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Reverse osmosis
membranes are effective at reducing pentavalent arsenic but not trivalent arsenic.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Sanitize
Caution: Sanitization is recommended after RO Filter System filter changes and any inner-part servicing. The
person sanitizing should have clean hands during this process.
1 Shut off water supply to RO system.
2 Open RO faucet. If tank is not empty, allow to drain until empty.
3 Disconnect white tubing from tank by unscrewing nut from tank
connector fitting.
4 With included eyedropper, add 3ml household bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
into open end of tank white tubing. Warning: Bleach needs to
be handled according to manufacturer's instructions.
5 Reconnect tank and white tubing to tank connector fitting.
6 Sanitization will be completed once you make sure RO faucet is
closed and turn back on water supply to RO system.
Warning: Bleach must be completely removed from system
before drinking water. See Purge instructions on previous page.
NOTE: See Product Data Sheet (PDS) for specifications.
