Place a towel under the RO module to catch any excess water that 

may drip out from the filters during the changeover.

Step 1     

Your RO module is equipped with valved heads which will automatically turn off the water 

supply  to  each  filter  when  the  filter  is  released,  thus  you  do  not  need  to  turn  off  the  incoming 

water supply at the Adapt-a-Valve. The RO faucet must be off when filters are replaced. 

Step 2    

To install a filter cartridge:

 Remove the seal cap and insert the 

cartridge into the valved head with the label facing to the left 

(9 o’clock position) rotating it clockwise 1/4 turn.

Step 3   

To remove a filter cartridge:

 Grasp the cartridge and rotate it 

1/4 turn counter clockwise to remove. 

Changing The Filter Cartridges

Membrane Replacement (2 - 5 Years)

√ 

One Membrane    

(P/N: WQTCM50-10)

Replace: 

 

Membranes have a life expectancy between 2 and 5 years, depending on the incoming water 

conditions and the amount the RO system is used. This reverse osmosis membrane is critical for effective 

reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS). The product water should be tested periodically to verify that 

the system is performing satisfactorily.

 

Normally, a membrane would be replaced during a semiannual or annual filter change.  However, 

if at any time you  notice a reduction in water production or an unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis 

water, it could be time to replace the membrane. Watts Premier recommends replacing the membrane 

when TDS reduction falls below 75%.

This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component (the RO membrane) which is critical to the ef-

ficiency of the system. Replacement of this reverse osmosis membrane should be with one of identical speci-

fications as defined by Watts Premier to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.

Annual Maintenance

 

-(Sanitization Recommended See Page 14)

√ 

One sediment filter  

(P/N: WQTSC-10)

√ 

One carbon pre-filter  

(P/N: WQTCBC-10)

 One carbon post-filter   (P/N: WQTCGAC-10) 

Replace:

√ 

One sediment filter  

(P/N: WQTSC-10)

√ 

One carbon pre-filter  

(P/N: WQTCBC-10)

Replace:

6 Month System Maintenance

Tip:

This is a good time to check the air pressure in your storage 

tank. For instructions please see page 14.

Flush first tank full after completing the annual maintenance.
