This Aquasafe™ Reverse Osmosis System has been specifically
designed as a DIY (Do It Yourself) unit for easy installation and
maintenace purposes. You will insure a successful installation as
well as reliable operation by carefully reading this manual and
following its operational guidelines.

Your system requires a minimum of 50psi inlet water pressure.
City and municipality water utilities are mandated to provide a
minimum of 50psi however sometimes this is not what results.
If you are on a well system or on city/municipal water supply and
have less than 50psi we highly recommend a fully automatic
booster pump which is found on our websites general parts
and accessories page. We also highly recommend a booster
pump if your water is extremely turbid with ppm counts beyond
600ppm.

The installation instructions that follow are extremely detailed.
if a leak is experienced during installation, please see the Leak
Prevention Section on page 17.

ATTENTION:

It is extremely important to change the

filters of your system in order to ensure ultra pure water
is being produced for you and your loved ones, (which
is the whole point to your system) and also to prevent
premature fouling of the TFC Filmtec Reverse Osmosis

Membrane of your system. After your installation is complete,
please read over the Filter Change Schedule section (page
18) and remember to mark on your calendar when your
systems filter changes need to be conducted. Filter changes
on Aquasafe™’s Reverse Osmosis Systems are both inexpensive
and very easily accomplished.
