How to install
This RO system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used or the warranty will be void.
Do not install or store where it will be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type of weather. Water freezing in the system will break it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
Do not install in direct sunlight. Excessive sun or heat may cause distortion or other damage to non-metallic parts.
Properly ground to conform with all governing codes and ordinances. Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-solder connections, as required by state federal codes.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, night time pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve (PRV) to reduce the pressure.
RO membranes will degrade in the presence of chlorine or chloramines. In these conditions, it is wise to consider purchasing a carbon filter system with a chlorine reducing media. Contact US Water Systems for chlorine and chloramine removal equipment.
Warning: Discard all unused parts and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after the installation could be a choke hazard.
