Congratulations on your purchase of the WaterMaker Five reverse osmosis system.  

The WaterMaker Five features a four-stage prefilter, membrane and postfilter 

housed in a single cartridge. The fifth stage, an in-line carbon filter, is placed 

 

between tank and faucet.  

When properly maintained, this system will provide you with years of trouble-

free service.   The next sections contain important information on the proper care 

and maintenance of your system, please take a few minutes to read through this 

information.

The cartridges in this system must be replaced on a regular basis to maintain 

 

efficiency and to ensure high water quality.  These cartridges work together and 

must be replaced every  6-12 months.  Any significant change in performance of 

the system should be investigated promptly to avoid secondary damage or 

deterioration to other parts of the system.

Normally, the reverse osmosis membrane is replaced during an annual filter 

change. However, if at any time you notice a reduction in water production or an 

unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis water, it could be time to replace the 

 

membrane. Nimbus recommends replacing the membrane when TDS reduction 

falls below 75%.

In order to ensure the system is functioning properly, a water sample must be sent 

in to Nimbus every 6 months for a free diagnosis of your membrane performance.  

To send a water sample, use two clean containers and fill one with 1/2 cup of tap 

water and the other with 1/2 cup of RO water. Clearly label each sample. Send the 

samples to the address listed on the cover of this manual, attention “Water Sample 

Testing”. Nimbus will test the samples and mail or call you with the results.

CAUTION: Improperly installed systems could result in water damage due to 

leaks or flooding.  Proper installation of this system requires familiarity with 

standard sink plumbing and proper use of common hand and power tools. 

 

This system has been designed for installation by licensed professionals, such 

 

as a contractor or plumber.

The WaterMaker Five uses 

the latest in system design 

and membrane technology to 

reduce the amount of water 

down the drain by 50%.  

The WaterMaker Five is 

smaller and uses significantly 

fewer resources in the  

manufacturing process than 

the typical 5-stage RO system.  

Smaller packaging and a 

lighter shipping weight further  

reduce impact on the  

environment.
