FAQ’s
Do you need a tank?
No, you can directly use water as the KSRO system produces it, however, for immediacy you may wish to
use a tank as this will increase your supply of instantly available water.
Does this system filter Fluoride, Lead, Pharmaceuticals, and Arsenic?
Yes, as well as Cyanide, Phosphate, Pesticides, Sodium, Cadmium, Sulfates, and many other
contaminants up to certain levels. You may need other changes to media for high levels of these
substances.
What PSI do I need? What is the operating pressure?
The minimum feed water PSI for the system is 10 and the maximum PSI is 100. If your PSI is too high you
can purchase a Pressure Regulator to reduce your pressure to acceptable levels.

Does this unit soften water?
Your KSRO System will soften water. However, hard water does reduce the lifespan of your filters.
Can I install this system in the basement? If so, will it affect the efficiency of the RO System?
Yes, the KSRO System can be installed in a basement or other locations that are indoors with
adequate water pressure, drainage, and power supply.
What is the discharge rate?
The typical discharge rate range of KSRO is 1~2 gallon for every one gallon produced. Your water
pressure, incoming water quality, and water temperature will affect your RO System discharge rate.
How often do I change Filters? Is there an indicator?
The Sediment and Carbon Block Filters should be changed every 6 months. The RO Membrane and
Post Activated Carbon Filter should be changed every one year at the same time as the second change
of the 6 month filters. There is no direct indicator for filter changes. However, if you notice a drop in
water quality before the 6 months or 1 year mark this may mean that due to your water quality your
filter has degraded. If you reach 6 months or 1 year without noticing a change in taste you should still
change your filter at this point as they are no longer viable.
Can I reuse discharge water?
Never consume discharge water. With proper installation, it is possible to utilize your discharge water.
