Q: When should the membrane be changed?
If you notice gradually decreasing production from your system, differing taste to your drinking
water or a white scale forming on pans or dishes, it probably means that your membrane is
deteriorating and is losing its effectiveness. You may purchase a pocket TDS meter from your
dealer - this is the best way to assure you system is operating efficiently.
Section 2. Unpacking and Installation
Your system includes:
Carton Contents
The main RO/filter unit assembly with 4 or 5 stages. The RO-4152H model will include a
booster pump mounted on the main bracket;
One membrane (in a sealed plastic bag), one combo carbon/sediment filter cartridge, one
block carbon filter cartridge and one polypropylene sediment cartridge (no white sediment
cartridge with RO-4042H);
One drain fitting and clamp with push-on tube fitting;
One cold water supply adapter;
One low-lead (stainless is optional) long reach Quick Faucet and mounting hardware;
Two #10 X1” Wall mounting screws;
5 m (15’) - white ¼” Poly tubing for water connections;
3m (10’) – black ¼” Poly tubing for drain connections;
One plastic tank shut-off valve;
One filter housing wrench;
One Owner’s package including owner’s manual, warranty certificate, Extended Warranty
Plan enrolment form, Waterite Parts Program enrolment form;
One 12 litre (4 gallon) RO holding tank.
Step 1. Selecting the System Location
1. This reverse osmosis system is designed for installation under a sink. It can however, be
mounted anywhere within 20 feet of the faucet, such as the basement or adjoining utility
room. Keep in mind that filter housings will need periodic replacement and that easy
access must be maintained. Do not install in a location with high humidity, direct sun or a
direct source of heat. Both the RO system and the tank may be installed horizontally or
vertically. If you are installing a RO 4152H model, you will need a standard 110V plug
nearby.
