BARRACUDA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your new Barracuda water treatment system from AquaFX. We hope your system brings you and
your pets many years of service and fresh clean water. There are a few basic steps we wanted to inform you about
when it comes to the installation and maintenance of your water treatment system. If you should have any difficulties or
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you any way we can.
Your system was custom built to order, and it is ready to hook up to a water supply with the appropriate adapters
installed. Aqua FX, Inc. pressure tests all systems prior to shipping, so your RO membrane may not be installed, if not,
you simply remove it from the plastic bag and place it in the white housing that lies across the top of the unit with the
brine seal (the black rubber gasket) towards the open end. The only other work you need to complete is hooking the
unit up to a supply and drain line.
1)
Unpack your unit completely.
2)
Inspect for any damage or broken parts as a result of shipping.
3)
Locate and connect the supply side of the equipment. This will be the right side as you face the system. The
supply side will consist of
Black
¼” tubing and has the connection for the type of water supply you specified.
4)
Locate the

drain line, and place in an appropriate area for drainage.
5)
Locate the
blue
product water line that will provide treated water for use and slip the tubing into the left side of
the system.
6)
Once installed, allow the system to run for approximately 15 minutes to flush completely. Please check systems
for leaks, parts can come lose during shipping!
7)
You will know when to replace the reusable color changing DI when the color has completely changed(the
cartridge will change colors from the bottom up). The sediment and carbon block filters (stage 1 and 2) should
be changed approximately every 6 months*
1
, depending on the quality of supply water.
8)
When you notice your pressure gauge drop below the 35 PSI range you should then replace the stage 1 and 2
filters. You need at least 35 PSI supply pressure to permeate the membrane.
9)
The only way to check your membrane for proper rejection is with a TDS Meter (Total dissolved solids)
10)
You are now ready to provide clean, fresh water for your pets!
These instructions cover the most common set up configurations. If you ordered different colored tubing or filter
cartridge housings, you may not be able to follow these instructions completely. All AquaFX systems come with a
3
year limited warranty
