Introduction
Thank you for your recent purchase of the Brita® Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filtration System. You have
purchased a filtration system with a technology that has proven itself effective for filtering ultra-fine
water contaminants. This method of filtration is the most common water treatment technology used
by premium bottled water companies.
The system uses pressure and a membrane with very fine pores wrapped around a core. Pressure
is used to force water through many layers of the membrane. Because of this small pore size and
the many layers of the membrane the water has to travel through, this RO system is capable of
reducing many kinds of contaminants that many traditional carbon block filters are unable to reduce:
Contaminants Chromium (VI), Arsenic (V), and Nitrates/Nitrites. For a complete listing of all
contaminants this sytem removes, please refer to the Performance Data Sheet included with this
sytem.
This system is rated to produce around 19 gallons per day of filtered water. That is why there is a
pressurized water tank that comes with this sytem. The system is always working to produce filtered
water to keep the storage tank filled with filtered water. The system also comes with two carbon
block filters to help improve the taste of water as well.
The system, once properly installed, is fully automatic. It continues to filter water until the tank is
full. As the tank is drained from use, it again starts to filter water to fill the tank. There is also another
automatic function of this filter - a back-flush. The membrane uses a cross flow to sweep away
rejected contaminants from the water left behind in the membrane. These contaminants are flushed
down the drain through the drain adapter. You will sometimes hear a gurgling sound coming from
the faucet - this is to let you know the RO is flushing the membrane. All of this of course helps to
optimize the life of the membrane. The 12 month filter life would be considerably less without this
feature.
All of this works off the natural pressure supplied by your home's household water lines. Pressure
should be between 40 PSI and 100 PSI (maximum). This system is complex. Be sure to read the set-
up instructions and perform all maintenance procedures to enjoy RO filtered water from your system.
