Operation
Your new water system has been designed to be exceptionally simple to use. Be
sure to read and follow all instructions before operating.
IMPORTANT: INITIAL START-UP: Before using your new AQUA2000 system,
allow the water to flow though the system for at least five (5) minutes. Do not
drink the water coming from the system during this initial start-up.
1. To operate the AQUA2000, simply turn on the cold
water and pull the small pin outward. This will direct
water through the system and return the treated water
out of the small spigot. Once the filter chambers are
filled, the UV lamp will activate automatically.
CAUTION: If the water flows from the top of the system to the bottom, the hose
connections are reversed. See page 3 for correct hose installation instructions.
IMPORTANT: If the diverter pin does not remain in the "out" position by itself,
or the UV lamp does not activate, there is not sufficient water pressure
(a minimum of 15 psi) to operate the system.
2. If this is the first time you are using your new system, or you have performed
maintenance, see IMPORTANT: INITIAL START-UP above. Otherwise you can
begin enjoying great tasting AQUA2000 water immediately.
Note: You can maximize the life of the UV lamp and reduce maintenance cost by
filling one-gallon containers or large pitchers with treated water and storing them
in the refrigerator for use.
Questions and Answers
Q. I changed the filter and now I have a leak?
A. If your AQUA2000 unit develops leakage around the cap, simply remove
the cap, reseat the o-ring (C), and carefully replace the cap.
Refer to “Removing the Filter Cap(s)” and “Changing the Filter”.
Q. The UV light does not turn on?
A. The filter may need to be changed (a minimum water pressure of 15 psi is
required). Make sure you have it plugged into a working outlet. If attached
to a GFI, the GFI might need to be reset. If none of the above works, please
contact your local service center for assistance. You can find your local
service center by visiting www.rppurchase.com or by calling 866-786-8946.
Q. Does the filter remove fluoride?
A. The filter does not remove fluoride. There are very few filters that do; and
they only work for 100 gallons or so.
Q. Does the filter remove lead?
A. Lead in your water is reduced by over 99%.
Q. How often should I change my filter?
A. Expected filter life is 1 year or 1000 gallons. It is also recommended that you
replace your filter if it hasn’t been used for over 2 weeks.
Q. I don’t feel up to changing my UV bulb, is there a local service center that
will do it for me?
A. Yes, and it is recommended. You can find your local service center by visiting
www.rppurchase.com or by calling 866-786-8946.
Q. Can the UV light damage my eyes or skin?
A. No, unless you try to operate the UV bulb outside of the UV protective
chamber. The bulb chamber provides 100% UV protection.
