DO NOT START THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE NEXT STEP IS COMPLETE.
Step 9. Complete the Electrical Connection
VectaPure RSX II systems operate using a 120V 15A service and a grounded receptacle. Insure that
the power source is rated to the necessary amperage (see page 8) and that the connection meets the
local electrical code. See the electrical diagram on page 20.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
– This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. 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.
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 the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
Section 4: System Set-Up
Set-up of your RO system will be dependent upon the TDS of your feed water.
Make sure that you
specify the TDS of your feed water at the time the unit is ordered.
The system has been shipped
with a DLFC that will be intended for feed water of less than a TDS of 1000ppm. By changing the DLFC
the TDS range can be increased up to 2000ppm. See spare parts for range and part numbers when
ordering an alternate DLFC.
Make sure that you have the correct waste orifice is fitted to your system. This orifice has been
selected to operate at the correct waste flow rate for your system without the need for a waste throttling
valve.
For systems configured for <1000 TDS, the recovery rate will be a maximum of 60%. For
systems configured for >1000 TDS, the recovery rate will be a maximum of 35%.
Step 10: Starting Up and Flushing the System
1. Turn on the feed water valve to the system and check all connections for leaks. Do not proceed
further until any leaks are fixed. Water will flow to the pre-treatment housings but will not pass the
inlet solenoid (see Figure 5) until the system has been started. The available line pressure should
now register on the line pressure gauge. Purge any air from the system by using the red button on
top of the pre-filter housing.
2. Open the recirculation valve to the fully open position.
3. The system pump must be initially primed and at any time that the system has been drained, prior
to start-up. THE PUMP MUST NOT BE RUN DRY OR DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
4. Once the pump is primed, turn the power switch ON. Let the system operate for about 5 -10
minutes with the valve fully open. The system is now flushing and clearing any dust or debris from
the lines. There should be minimal water production from the machine during this process. If the
unit does produce water, direct this flow to the drain for a period of 60 minutes
