HOW YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WORKS
Your Reverse Osmosis System is completely self contained and uses stages for primary filtration and
separations.
FIRST STAGE: Prefilter
The prefilter protects the reverse osmosis membrane from clogging by removing suspended and particulate
matter larger than approximately 5 microns.
The life of the prefilter depends upon the quality of the incoming tap water. Generally, we recommend
replacing every six to twelve months. Please see the directions for changing filters on page 5.
Model VI-TFC: Recommend replacing every 12 months
1-5 Micron sediment prefilter
1-Carbon prefilter
1-Carbon postfilter
Model VII-TFC: Recommend replacing every 12 months
1-5 Micron sediment prefilter
2-Carbon prefilter
1-Carbon postfilter
SECOND STAGE: Reverse Osmosis Membrane
The R.O. membrane is the heart of the system. This is where most of the dissolved solids and remaining
impurities are filtered and flushed out the drain.
The life of the R.O. membrane depends greatly upon the quality of the incoming water source. Having a soft
water supply will greatly increase its life expectancy. The membrane should be changed when it rejects less
than 60% of dissolved minerals.
Call your dealer for information on monitoring devices or water check programs.
THIRD STAGE: Activated Carbon Postfilter
The carbon postfilters function is to reduce tastes, odors, and chlorine, and is the final stage of filtration. It
should be replaced every 12 months. See the directions for changing filters on page 5.
