Operation

Overview

 

y

Normal Operation Mode 

During Normal Operation Mode, 

water enters the Inlet and flows 

through the Filter before exiting the 

outlet as usable product water.

The drain line runs continuously as 

long as the system is making water. 

This drain line flushes the minerals 

removed by the RO membrane.

NOTE:

  DO NOT plug or stop the water 

flow from the drain line. If this 

flow is stopped, water will 

continued to be filtered, but the 

system will not flush. This will 

cause the RO membrane to plug 

prematurely and reduce the life 

of the RO System.

 

y

Tank Full Mode

 

When the tank is full, no water 

runs out of the drain line.

CAUTION

Stopping the drain flow can cause the 

Filter to plug prematurely and may 

reduce the life of the filter. Consult 

the factory for more information.
