INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, on the purchase of your new Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System. Treated with care
and regular maintenance, your new system will provide many years of service delivering purified water to
the tap.

By now, you have probably already opened the box to survey the contents. Please take a few moments to
review this manual before proceeding with the installation and use of the system. Some important items
to review are as follows:

Check all components for any damage caused in shipment. Also, take a quick  inventory of

all items supplied to ensure none are missing. A checklist in the next section will assist you

with identifying these items.

Ensure  that  the  reverse  osmosis  system  and  storage  tank  will  easily  fit  into

the  desired  location.  This  reverse  osmosis  system  and  tank  needs  to  be  removed  for

regular maintenance, so good accessibility is an important tip to keep in mind.

Read all warnings contained within this manual.

Although  this  product  is  described  as  a 

‘Drinking  Water  System’,

the  purified  water  produced  by  the

reverse osmosis (RO) process can be used for many purposes around the home.

Drinking Water 

- keep container of RO water in the fridge to be able to enjoy the clean,

fresh taste. Alternatively, take it directly from the tap.

Ice Cubes

- use RO water to fill ice cube trays. Ice cubes made from RO water are typically

clearer and better tasting than ice made from plain tap water.

Automatic Ice Makers

- a water line from the RO system can be plumbed to refrigerators

with automatic icemakers. Additional accessories required to complete this connection are

not included. Please consult the refrigerator’s owner’s manual on this installation.

Kettles and Coffee Makers

- plain tap water eventually causes films and scale in these

devices that is difficult to clean. RO water is very low in dissolved minerals content, greatly

reducing the chance of scale buildup.

Cooking 

- use RO water for boiling pasta, rice or any other recipe that calls for water in

the instructions.

Washing Fresh Fruit & Vegetables 

- prevent tap water minerals from being deposited 

onto food to maintain freshness.

Family Pets

- Allow you dog or cat to enjoy the same purified water you do.

Irons, Steamers & Humidifiers 

- prevent mineral buildup in household appliances that use

water and eventually build up with scale when using plain tap water.

Now you can relax and enjoy the benefits of great tasting water supplied by your reverse osmosis drinking

water system. Remember that good quality water is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You can

also feel good about the money you have saved by installing your own drinking water system instead of

dealing with the expense and hassle of bottled water delivery.
