Thank you for choosing our Ultra 6 Reverse Osmosis drinking water systems. With proper care your water filtration
system will produce high quality drinking water for many years. The following is a brief overview of the system.
Your Reverse Osmosis System:
Osmosis is the process of water passing through a semi permeable membrane in order to balance the concentration
of contaminants on each side of the membrane. A semi permeable membrane is a barrier that will pass only certain
particles like clean drinking water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.
Read carefully and follow the instruction in this manual before proceeding with the actual installation. Pay
particular attention to all warnings, cautions and notes. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
damage to the equipment or other property. System and installation need to comply with state and local laws
and regulations. If you have any questions, please contact us at 800-741-4426 or call your local dealer.
Your system is a six stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water
filtration system. These stages are as follows:
Stage 1 – Sediment filter, recommended change 12 months
The first stage of your RO system is a five micron sediment filter that traps sediment and other particulate
matter like dirt, silt and rust which affect the taste and appearance of your water.
Stage 2 – Carbon filter, recommended change 12 months
The second stage contains a 5 micron carbon block filter. This helps ensure that chlorine and other materials
that cause bad taste and odor are greatly reduced.
Stage 3 and Stage 4 – KDF/GAC filter, recommended change 12 months
The third stage contains a KDF/GAC filter. KDF (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion) is a high purity copper-zinc
formulation which removes chlorine, lead, mercury, iron and hydrogen sulfide from the water. Removing
these impurities prolongs the life of to Reverse Osmosis membrane. The GAC filter (Granular Activated
Carbon) has an extremely large amount of adsorption surface area. The design of GAC promotes high flow
to the RO membrane while removing chlorine taste and odor as well as reduction of VOC’s.
Stage 5- Membrane, recommended change 2-5 years
Stage five is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the 50GPD (Gallons Per Day) RO membrane. This
semi permeable membrane will effectively remove TDS (Total Dissolved Solids,)
.
Because the process
of extracting this high quality drinking water takes time, your RO water treatment system is equipped
with a storage tank.
Stage 6- Carbon post filter, recommend change 12 months
The final stage is a high quality carbon filter. Drinking water enters this filter after the water storage
tank and it is used as a final polishing filter.
Note:
Filter & Membrane life may vary based upon local water conditions and/or use patterns.
System Maintenance
Just because you cannot taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Contaminants such as Lead, Chromium and
Arsenic are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the filter elements, other bad
tastes and odors will be apparent in your drinking water.
It is important to change out your filters at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system manual. When
replacing the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. If you have any questions, please
contact us at 800-741-4426 or call your local dealer.
