the cartridge aligned with the guide lugs; remove the sump and line it up correctly before tightening. An
opening spanner if provided with these systems and is only required for installation if hand tightening is not
easily achieved or if slight leaking occurs. It is important not to overtighten the housings as this can lead to
excessive stress on the cap thread which may cause damage to the housing long term. The spanner can
be used to help unscrew the housing when filter changes are required as the housings are usually more
difficult to unscrew over time being installed.
(b) Membranes
In some cases, the membranes may already be installed in the cannisters. If you are supplied with a bag of
4 membrane filters, they will need to be installed into the system.
1. Disconnect the tubing from the screw cap end of the membrane housings, check the o-ring to ensure it is
in good condition, if the o-ring gets stuck in the cap – remove it and install it on the housing.
2. Unwrap the Reverse Osmosis Membrane and install it into the membrane housing, ensure that you only
handle the membrane by the end stems. The membrane is inserted into the housing o-rings first so the
stem without the o-rings is visible. Replace the membrane cap firmly but do not overtighten.
(c) Post Filters
The system is supplied standard with an inline 2.5” GAC filter. These are also available as a DI cartridge or
a Remineralising cartridge – the installation principle is the same.
These filters are generally pre-installed. When you need to replace them, simply disconnect the tubing from
each end and remove the fittings from the filter. Replace the fittings into the new cartridge then re-install.
If the system is purchased with a DI filter, this GAC filter is removed and there should be a open end of
tubing at the top of the system which is the outlet.
(d) De Ionising Post Filters
For DI Cannister filters – temporarily run a small length of tubing form the systems outlet to flush the water
from the system before installing the DI system. This ensures that and TDS contamination in the system
does not expire any of the DI filter media. Flush the system until the TDS shows a > 90 % Reduction in
TDS compared to the raw inlet water. (minimum 30 minutes). After the flushing is finished, plug the ¼”
tubing into the DI filter and run a length of tube to your tank/container or float valve.
Connecting the System
I. Tubing
Measure a length of tubing (Blue 3/8”) from the feed water connection to the system. Cut the tubing using
poly cutters or a sharp box cutter. Ensure that it is a clean straight cut with no rough edges.
Measure a length of ¼” tubing from the drain valve (located on the inside of the back-mounting plate – right
side) which is marked as ‘to drain’ or ‘Flow 1600’ to a suitable drainage point. These lines can be joined
together.
Measure a length of ¼” tubing from the outlet point of the system to your intended usage point or storage.
II. Power
The system is supplied with a 2 pin AU plug. Install this into a GPO (10A min). It is advised to also install a
surge protector to protect the electrical components of the system in the event of a power surge or
blackout. NOTE: If there is any damage to the cord DO NOT install – contact the manufacturer immediately
Start Up & Operation
I. Micro-Computer Instructions
SAC Indication:
“SAC” will flash on the display when the water supply has stopped
FSH Indication:
“FSH” will flash on the display when the system is flushing
PRO Indication:
“PRO” will flash on the display when the system is producing pure water. After 4
minutes “PRO” and the TDS value will alternate
FUL Indication:
“FUL” will flash on the display when the tank is full. After 10 sec the “FUL” and TDS
