SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

The SP-RO-90-BASIC™ System gives you a continuous supply of

sparkling clear, delicious water for drinking, cooking, aquaculture, etc.

Foods will look better and taste better too. The reliability with the Water

Treatment System is greatly improved over other systems and costly

maintenance can be avoided. The system eliminates the need to buy

bottled water. Instead, it puts high quality water at your fingertips.

The incoming feed water from a cold water source is directed through

BLACK tubing to the 5 micron carbon block prefilter. This filter is used to

remove dirt, organics and chlorine from the feed water that can damage

the membrane. The second stage of the system is the RO membrane.

Household water pressure is used to force tap water through the

semipermeable RO membrane. The membrane only allows the purest of

water molecules to pass through it while over 98% of

most inorganic salts,

all micro-organisms and almost all high molecular weight organics in the

water

are rejected and automatically rinsed from the membrane and sent

down the drain.

There is a thin capillary tube (called a Flow Restrictor) located inside the

short red tubing that restricts and regulates the amount of water that goes

to drain. This water is necessary to help keep the membrane flushed free

of pollutants.

An optional manually-operated Flush Valve can be used to periodically

rinse the accumulated impurities and concentrated waste water from the

surface of the RO membrane to help increase the life of the membrane.

WORKING WITH PUSH FITTINGS:

Push fittings are very reliable and convenient tubing connectors.

To remove the tubing from its push fitting:

1. Firmly depress and hold the push fitting collar down with your thumbnail.

2. While the push fitting collar is depressed, pull the tubing straight out

of the push fitting. Once the tubing is removed, release the collar.

To reinsert the tubing into its push fitting:

1. Moisten the O-ring seal inside the push fitting by dripping a few drops

of clean water into the fitting.

2. Grasp the tubing near the end, and insert the tubing into the push

fitting.

3. Push the tubing into the fitting until resistance is felt, approximately

1/2 inch (12.7 mm). The tubing is now resting on the O-ring seal

inside the fitting.

4. Firmly push the tubing approximately an additional 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)

further into the fitting to completely seat the line into the fitting and

past the O -ring seal.

5. Turn on the system water supply and check for leaks prior to further

use or testing. If a leak is observed, you may not have pushed the

tubing into the push fitting far enough to seal the tubing against the

O-ring. Turn off the system water supply and reseat the tubing as

described above.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION:

1. Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to

damage by ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as

metal halide lighting.

2. Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to

bright light or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside

the clear filter housings when exposed to bright light.

3. The unit must be kept out of areas that are subject to freezing

temperatures.

4. High temperatures greater than 100° F (38° C) must be avoided. If

the unit is used outside, avoid putting the system in direct sunlight

or connecting it to a garden hose that may be exposed to sunlight.

5. Attach the garden hose adapter (connected to the black tubing) to your

cold water source. Never run hot water (greater than 100° F/38° C)

through the system.

6. Place the yellow concentrate (waste) tubing and the blue purified

(product) water tubing temporarily into a drain. Do not restrict flow

from these lines.

7. Open the cold water supply valve. The pressure should not exceed 80 psi

8. Run the system for one hour to flush any membrane residue.

9. Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-free

before leaving the system unattended. (If anything is leaking,

contact SpectraPure for assistance.)

NOTE: If the unit is not used for several days, run the system for

about 10 minutes before collecting any water. This will flush

out any stale water in the system.

10. Finish the installation by directing the yellow line to a drain.

11. Direct the blue line to a collection reservoir.

CARBON BLOCK FILTER REPLACEMENT:

A Carbon Filter will usually last 4-6 months ,depending on the chlorine (or

chloramine) content of your tap water and quantity of water being pro-

duced. The best way to determine when your Carbon Block Prefilter needs

replacement is to use a chlorine test kit.

Any chlorine level above 0.1 ppm will cause damage to the membrane

and indicates that the carbon block filter must be changed. To test for

chlorine breakthrough, collect a 10 ml sample of the concentrate from

the yellow tubing and test the chlorine concentration using test kit TK-CL-

10-KIT. If the chlorine concentration is above 0.1ppm, replace the carbon

prefilter.

**NOTE: A drop in the system’s production is, in most cases, an indication

that the sediment filter has become saturated with contaminants, but a

carbon filter can also decrease production if it’s covered with extremely

fine sediment. If the carbon becomes plugged with sediment, it will no

longer be able to remove chlorine.

Carbon Block Filter Replacement

Materials Required: 5 micron Carbon Block Filter (IL-CB-12),

Chlorine Test Kit (TK-CL-10-KIT)

Procedure:

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

2. Disconnect the two black tubes, remove the old filter and discard.

3. Install the new carbon block filter and reconnect the two black tubes.

4. Turn on system water supply and check for leaks.
