  2  -  The Solo Pure Water System Operation and Maintenance Manual

3. Initial Setup

1. Attach bypass hose to the fitting on the side of 

    The Solo system.

2. Open valve on bpass hose fully.

3. Attach shut-off valve to The Solo system outlet.

4. Attach pole tubing to quick connect shut off and 

    turn to open position.

5. Attach source hose to water source and the other

    end inlet of The Solo system.

6. Turn on source water.

7. Elevate the outlet side of the unit and rotate so 

    bypass is facing upward 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.

8. Once the air has been purged out of the filters, 

    close the bypass valve partially to begin producing 

    pure water. Do not close off flow through the 

    bypass line while usingthe system (some bypass

    water should always be flowing out). Your bypass 

    hose assembly (WF2200-BHA) is manufactured so 

    that it can’t be completely closed. Never plug the 

    end of your bypass while in operation. See Bypass

    Valve Operation section below for more information.

9. Start cleaning windows.

2. TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Meter

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are the minerals and salts 

within source water that lead to spotting on glass as the 

water evaporates. Your TDS meter measures the amount 

of dissolved solids using the conductivity of the water. 

The meter can test water before and after the system to 

determine how it is performing. TDS levels are measured 

in parts per million (ppm). 

Remove the cap from the TDS meter and fill with the 

sample you wish to test. Push the “On” button on the 

handheld TDS meter to get a TDS reading of the water 

sample. A TDS reading of 0 – 10 is acceptable for 

cleaning most windows, though specific conditions and 

results may vary. 

It is important to rinse out any source water with pure 

water to ensure accurate readings. Even a single drop of 

source water will cause the pure water TDS reading to 

appear higher than it actually is. 

Your TDS meter also has a thermometer which reads 

temperature. This can allow you to monitor the 

temperature of your feed water. Running your system at 

feed water temperatures of less than 10 °C (50 °F) will 

result in low flow exiting the system. RO membranes 

require more pressure to create the same amount 

of clean water as the temperature of the water gets 

colder. A pump can help to compensate for low source 

water temperatures. Do not let the system freeze when 

operating in lower temperatures.
