Important Information on Reverse

Osmosis Filters:

Reverse Osmosis is the most cost effective and efficient way to

remove 98%+ of all contaminants from your water. The key com-

ponent of the system is the RO membrane that is tightly wrapped

sheets of a semi-permeable material. Under pressure the mem-

brane allows pure H2O to pass through it and rejects, or flushes

away, most impurities down the drain. That is why all RO systems

have a certain amount of waste water. The ratio of waste water is

determined by the restrictor used on the drain line. The micRO75

is designed to run at a ratio of 2:1 ( 2 parts drain to 1 part product

water) being about 50% more efficient than similar RO systems.

The flow of water is determined by inlet pressure, inlet tempera-

ture, and inlet PPM’s. The micRO75 has the capacity to produce

75 gallons per day, with inlet water at 77º F, 60 PSI, 500 PPM. The

higher the inlet pressure and temperature, the better the flow. You

will notice in colder areas or in the winter when water tempera-

tures are lower that the water flow can be slower. A minimum of

40 psi is required to properly operate the system.

Inlet water that is very high in total PPM or very hard with calci-

um or magnesium may shorten the life of the membrane and/or

cause slower flow rates. The RO membrane included with the filter

can handle water up to 1000 PPM and with a hardness of 170

PPM or 10 grains of hardness per gallon. Note that this is consid-

ered both very contaminated and very hard water and may short-

en the life of the membrane. At these levels of contamination and

hardness, and especially beyond, you may consider pre-treatment

in the form of a water softener or other equipment. Please contact

HydroLogic for more information.

All RO systems exhibit “TDS creep”. The first few ounces of RO wa-

ter produced are higher in PPM than after the system has run a few

minutes. Take any PPM readings a full five minutes after turning

the system on to assure accuracy.

Description:

The micRO75 is a customized Reverse Osmosis water filter that is capable of removing up

to 98%+ of most contaminants. The system is designed for use with hydroponic or horticul-

tural applications, but can also be used effectively in a variety of other settings as well. The

filter is built to give the maximum amount of flow from the membrane while sending less

waste water to drain, compared to similar RO filters. Please read the following setup and

maintenance guide to get the maximum results from your filter and your plants.

The micRO75 unit includes:

•1 RO Membrane

• 1 KDF/Carbon Pre-Filter

•Wall/Floor Mount Bracket

• 6 Feet of 1/4” Feed, Product and Drain tubings

• Garden Hose Connector for the Supply Line

• Booster pump for inlet pressure below 40 psi #HL29060

Special note on chloramines:

Chloramines are a disinfecting agent that is being added by some cities to the water sup-

ply place of, or in addition to, chlorine. They are a much more stable form of chlorine and

do not dissipate from letting the water sit out. They cause the same damage to all living

things as does chlorine. Manufacturers of carbon block filters, such as the one that comes

standard with the

micRO75

, do not make specific claims for chloramines removal. If

you are sure your water supply contains chloramines, be sure to always use KDF85/

catalytic carbon filters.

Your micRO75 has some simple plumbing that consists of quick connect push in

fittings and food grade tubing.

Insert tubing into proper fittings. The White inlet tubing (with garden hose con-

nector) goes into the right side of the top canister (#2, above). The Blue tubing

goes into the Product Water fitting, immediately after the shut off valve. The Black

Drain tubing fits in the waste water line, immediately after the flow restrictor.

Note: The 1/4” Inline Shut-Off Valve can be installed anywhere on the Blue RO

tubing. This allows you to shut down the entire system, including the drain line.

Make sure you make a clean, square cut in the tubing. Use sharp scissors or a

blade.

Thread the garden hose connector onto an appropriate source (40 psi, minimum).

Your dealer has options that allow connections to your other existing plumbing.

Flush the system for 30-45 minutes to remove the food grade preservative that

the membrane comes shipped with. You are now ready to use your system.

micRO75® Setup:

Membrane/Filter Changes:

It is essential that you keep the micRO75 pre-filter changed often.

The filter has a rated life of approximately 1,000 gallons of Reverse

Osmosis product water. The membrane usually lasts 6-18 months

depending on the quality of your tap water and how often you

change the carbon/KDF pre-filter. Additional pre-filtration may be

necessary depending on the quality of your tap water.

Filter Housings:

• Housing - Reinforced Polypropylene

• O-Ring - NBR

• Maximum Temperature - 100 °f

• Maximum Pressure - 100 psi

Carbon/KDF Pre-Filter Cartridge:

• 100% Coconut shell Granular Activated Carbon.

• KDF 85 media for chloramine reduction.

• Up to 99% chlorine reduction.

• FDA grade components & materials.

Changing the micRO75 Membrane

The Reverse Osmosis membrane should be changed about once a year, but may be more

or less frequently, depending on water quality. If your water is really dirty then you may

need to change the membrane more often. If your water is relatively clean and you keep up

with your pre-filter changes, the filter may last 1.5+ years. The only way to truly know is to

test the RO and inlet water and see what percentage of the inlet water’s PPM the micRO75

is filtering out. You should see at least a 94% rejection of incoming PPM’s.

Another indication it is time to change your membrane is if your flow rate of product water

slows down. This typically means the membrane has become clogged.

Changing the RO membrane is

an easy process. First, depressur-

ize your system by shutting off the

water source to your micRO75

unit. Then remove the elbow fitting

(as shown) by pushing in the collet

and removing the elbow. NOTE:

Be sure and have a bucket and

towel handy when you change the

membrane, as there will be residu-

al water in the housing.

Grab a hold of the membrane housing’s body with one hand, and the cap with the other

hand and twist cap off.

You can now remove the membrane

with either a strong set of needle-nose

pliers or something similar. Hold onto

the membrane housing body and

pull straight out until you release the

membrane. It may seem tight but with

straight and even pressure, it will come

out.

Before installing a new RO mem-

brane you should lubricate (with sili-

cone grease or water) the black rubber gasket that is closest to the inlet, as well as the two

small o-rings on the stem opposite the gasket. This will help the membrane seat better and

come out easier. Push the membrane back into the housing with the end that has the two

black o-rings going in first. Push firmly until it bottoms out and can’t go in further. Then

thread the cap back on tight, re-connect elbow fitting and you are ready to flush the system

for 30-45 minutes before using.

Changing the Carbon/KDF Pre-Filter

Changing the KDF

Pre-Filter is very easy.

First, depressurize your

system by shutting off

the water source to your

micRO75 unit. Next, re-

move the elbow fitting as

shown, by pushing in the

grey collet and removing

the elbow. Unscrew cap

with the filter attached.

The pre-filter then simply

unscrews from the cap, and

then the new filter screws

right back in. It is important

to make sure the rubber “O”

ring is seated at the bottom

of the threaded stem. When

installing the new filter, be

careful not to over-tighten.

Only a snug hand-tighten-

ing in needed to make a

leak-proof seal.

Seated rubber “O” ring.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown qual-

ity without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Push In/Quick Connect Fittings:

Connecting Push-In Fittings:

Dis-connecting Push-In Fittings: Push in collet

Push tube firmly into the fitting, all the way to tube stop. The collet (gripper) has

stainless steel teeth which hold the pipe firmly in position whilst the ‘0’ Ring provides

a permanent leak proof seal. Pull tubing to check for security. If some tube pulls out

then push all the way in again until it stops.

It is good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.

Ensure system is depressurized by turning off source water before removing fittings.

Push in the collet evenly toward the fitting. With the collet held in this position the

tube con be removed by simply pulling You can use a collet release tool (available

from your dealer) or small crescent wrench. The fitting can then be re-used. If the

tube has been removed several times you may see score marks on the ends. This

can lead to leaks so cut the end off the tubing totally square with a sharp blade

using care.
