warranty on the system. We are not responsible for any damaged
caused by using Vaseline or other petroleum lubricants. To ensure
a good seal and minimize any possibility of leaks, it is
recommended you replace your O-rings periodically, usually every
1-2 years.
Housings
With the regular stress of removal and tightening, filter housings
will weaken over time. To help prevent unwanted system failure
the filter housings on your system need to be replaced every 5
years.
UV Filter:
The UV filter uses a bulb to kill bacteria. When the filter is plugged
in and operating, the white cap where the wire comes out will
glow a purplish color. If you ever notice that the filter is not
glowing it means the UV bulb is no longer working. IMMEDIATELY
STOP using the system, as bacteria may be contaminating your
water. Replace the bulb and sanitize the system to ensure safe,
treated drinking water. The bulb does wear out and needs to be
replaced; recommended replacement is every 12 months. It is
important to note that the bulb may glow for longer, but the
intensity of the bulb diminishes over time and after 12 months
full, effective treatment is not assured.
Buildup on the quartz sleeve can also decrease the amount of
effective light that treats the water, so regular checking and
cleaning of the sleeve is recommended.
To change the lamp:
The lamp is enclosed inside a quartz sleeve, so the water does
NOT need to be shut off to change the lamp. Unplug the white
wire from the transformer and grasp it near the white cap on the
end of the filter. Ensure you have a firm grip on both the filter and
the wire, and pull on the wire. The white cap will pull out with the
lamp. Then, simply push the new lamp in place.
To clean/replace the quartz sleeve:
1.
Turn off the feed water supply. This is done by closing the angle
adapter ball valve. The valve is closed when the handle is at a
90
°
angle to the tubing (when handle is NOT parallel to tubing).
If saving water from the tank, do so after closing the valve.
2.
Shut the ball valve on the tank. The valve is closed when the

fitting and tighten until snug, making sure to not over-tighten,
which would cause the filter to crack or could strip out the
threads.
3.
Now we will install the filter(s) in the order shown by the
diagram on the back of this sheet. Start by installing the UV filter
(if applicable). First, cut the line between the auto shutoff valve
(ASV) and the membrane housing, making sure that you leave
enough tubing coming from the ASV to reach the UV filter. Next,
place a stem elbow on the end of the piece of tubing. Then run a
piece of tubing from the membrane housing cap to the opposite
side of the UV filter. Place a stem elbow on the end of this tubing
that connects to the UV filter also. Connect the other end of the
tubing to the membrane housing. Place the relevant clips onto the
membrane housing, push the UV filter into the clips, and insert
the stem elbows into the UV filter.
4.
Next, disconnect the tee fitting from the carbon post filter that
is currently installed on the RO system and remove the filter.
Place the relevant clips onto the membrane housing, then push
the first filter into the clips, making sure the water flow is going
the same direction as the carbon filter was going. Insert the tee
fitting into the input side of this first filter.
5.
Follow the same process for each filter, making sure that the
flow coming out of the previous filter enters the input side of the
next filter, following the direction of flow indicated on the filter.
Faucet Installation
Locate the installation point for the faucet; you will need a hole at
least 1/2” in diameter for the RO faucet shank. If the sink has a
sprayer the RO faucet may be installed in the hole used for the
sprayer, simply disconnect the sprayer and plug the sprayer
connection. If the sprayer hole is not an option you will need to
drill a hole. To drill a hole, determine where it will be located
before starting. You will need a 2” flat surface no more than 2”
thick. Ensure the chosen location will not interfere with anything
below, and position the faucet so it will empty into the sink and
can swivel freely for convenience. Once you have confirmed your
faucet location, proceed with drilling the hole in your sink.
Drilling a hole for the faucet
Be careful when drilling the faucet hole. Be sure to drill slowly to
prevent chipping or scratching, and be sure to wear proper safety
