SYSTEM  INSTALLATION & INITIALIZATION:                                  

1.  Most of the components of this system are plastic and are subject to 

damage by ultraviolet light from the sun and other sources such as 
metal halide  lighting.

2.  Avoid installing this unit in an area where it may be subjected to 

bright light or direct sunlight, as algae is more likely to thrive inside  
the clear filter housings when exposed to bright light.

3.  The unit must be kept out of areas that are subject to freezing 

temperatures.

4.  High temperatures greater than 100° F (38° C) must be avoided. If 

the unit is used outside, avoid putting the system in direct sunlight 
or connecting it to a garden hose that may be exposed to sunlight.

5.  Attach the garden hose adapter 

(connected to the black 

tubing) 

to your cold water source. Never run hot water 

(greater than 113° F/45° C) through the system.

6.  Place the 

yellow concentrate (waste) tubing

 and the 

blue 

purified (product) water tubing

 temporarily into a drain. Do not 

restrict flow from these lines.

7.  Open the cold water supply valve. The pressure should not exceed 80 

psi .

8. 

Check the system to ensure that all fittings are tight and leak-
free before leaving the system unattended. (If anything is 
leaking, contact SpectraPure for assistance.)
NOTE: 

It is recommended that at least 2 gallons (7.57 liters) of 
purified water be discarded now before collecting purified 
water for use. If the unit is not used for several days, run the 
system for about 10 minutes before collecting any water. 
This will flush out any stale water in the system.

9.  Finish the installation by directing the yellow line to a drain. 

10.  Direct the blue line to a collection reservoir.
