75E HIGH EFFICIENCY RO SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) WORKS
The Everpure Conserv 75E System uses a semi-permeable
membrane to reduce scale and corrosion. The RO membrane
cartridge contains multiple layers of micron-thin film wound
around a hollow center core. Water molecules can pass
through the cartridge, while dissolved salts are rejected.
Your water supply is prefiltered to reduce dirt and chlorine
that may foul the membrane. The RO membrane cartridge
separates this prefiltered water into RO WATER and REJECT
WATER. Water pressure forces water through the membrane
within the RO membrane cartridge, and into the storage tank.
This is the RO water. Dissolved salts cannot pass through the
membrane and are sent to the drain as reject water. When
the application valve is opened, RO water (permeate) is drawn
from the storage tank through a post-system filter. The post
system filter adds minerals for pH balance.
The Conserv 75E RO System also features an auto shut-off
valve which shuts off the system once the pressure in the
storage tank reaches 2/3 of the incoming water pressure
(your water pressure). When you use water from the storage
tank, the pressure inside the tank drops and the auto shut-off
valve opens. The system then begins to operate, replenishing
the water you took from the storage tank. The storage tank
can hold up to 3.2 gals (12.1 L) of water at a time.
NOTE: When used under operating conditions specified
in this manual, the RO membrane cartridge of the
Conserv 75E System should last 12 to 24 months.
The precise life span of the Pentair
®
GRO-75EN RO
Membrane Cartridge will depend on the quality of
the water entering the system and the frequency
with which you use it. Frequent use prevents the
dissolved salts from building up on the membrane
as scale. The more water the system is required to
produce, the longer the membrane will last.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Please read all instructions, specifications, and
precautions before installing and using your
Conserv 75E System.
NOTE: The Conserv 75E System may be installed hanging on
a wall, under a sink, or sitting on a counter.
NOTE: The Conserv 75E System must be installed vertically.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an appliance-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid
a hazard.
WARNING: Improper connection of the appliance-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance; if it will
not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified technician.

Secure Manifold Wall Mount
The Conserv 75E System weighs approx. 58 lbs (26 kgs).
CAUTION: The Conserv 75E System should be mounted on
a stud or firm surface. The mounting bracket
will support the weight of the system and help
prevent strain on the water lines.
1. Select location where unit is to be mounted. The unit
must be mounted in a vertical position.
2. When mounting the Conserv 75E System on a wall, two
(2) screws are required to mount the unit. The two (2)
screws will be 14" (35.6 cm) apart and level. Screw the
two (2) screws into the wall. Leave a gap between the
screw head and the wall of 1/8". The backside of the unit
has two (2) slots that will fit over the screw heads and
slide down to lock (Figure 2).
3. Tighten both screws from the front with the cover
removed.
