Series BXL and BXL Plus reverse osmosis systems are designed to meet the needs of
applications for high quality water. This manual contains important information about the unit, including informa-
tion needed for installation, operating, and maintenance procedures. A troubleshooting section provides a guide
for quick and accurate problem solving.
In order for the water treatment system to continue to provide high quality water, a thorough understanding of the
system and its operation is required. Review this manual before making any attempt to install, operate or service the
system. Installation or maintenance done on this system by an untrained service person can cause major equipment
or property damage.
This publication is based on information available when approved for printing. Continuing design refinements
could cause changes that may not be included in this publication.
