2 - Phaser Pure Water System Operation and Maintenance Manual
2. Initial Setup
3. Hooking Up To Water Source
1. Attach bypass hose to the fitting on the side
of the RO filter.
2. Open valve on bypass hose fully.
3. Attach Carbon/Sediment filter to the inlet end
of the RO filter. Do not overtighten.
4. Attach DI filter to outlet end of the RO filter.
Do not overtighten.
5. Attach quick connect shut off to the DI filter.
6. Attach pole to quick connect shut off and turn
to open position.
7. Attach source hose to water source and the
other end to the Carbon/Sediment filter.
8. Turn on water.
9. Elevate the outlet side of the unit until air has been
purged from the RO housing through the bypass
line. Failure to bleed the air out of the system can
result in lower production and possible damage to
the filter housings. Trapped air may also result in the
plastic overheating and pressure rating of the RO
housing dropping. Setting up your system up out
of direct sunlight on hot days will also help protect
the plastic RO housing from heat damage.
10. Once the air has been pushed out of the filters,
close the bypass valve partially to begin producing
pure water. DO NOT CLOSE OFF FLOW THROUGH
THE BYPASS LINE WHILE USING THE SYSTEM
(some bypass water should always be flowing out).
See Bypass Valve Operation section below for more
information.
11. Start cleaning windows.
Locate an external water source. Attach one end
of the feed hose (not supplied) to the water source.
Open the faucet at the building and make sure all air
is out of your source hose. Turn off water and attach
to inlet of Carbon/Sediment filter. A ¾” garden hose
is preferred. Attach the other end of the feed hose to
the female connection on the Carbon/Sediment filter.
Open bypass valve fully and turn on source water.
Once the air in the filters has left the bypass line,
adjust valve to desired flow rate. Open the shut-off
valve between the hose and the pole to allow water
to flow through the pole and wash glass. Do not
drink pure water made from your system. If using a
pump, wait for water to flow from brush before turning
the pump on. Do not exceed 120 PSI.

4. Bypass Valve Operation
The system comes with a bypass hose and valve
that control the amount of water leaving the RO filter.
RO membrane filters use the bypass flow to remove
concentrated dissolved solids from the filter. There
should always be water flowing out of the bypass
hose. Inadequate bypass flow will result in fouling and
possibly damage the RO filter.
The water coming out of the bypass hose may initially
appear milky. This milky appearance is actually small
air bubbles being pushed out of the filter housing
through the bypass line.
The bypass valve is also the primary way you can
control the pressure of your system. Opening the
