GENERAL USE CONDITIONS:
1. System to be used with municipal or well water sources treated and tested on regular basis to insure
bacteriological safe quality.
DO NOT
use with water that is micro biologically unsafe or unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
and after the system.
2. Operating Temperature:
Maximum: 100°F (40.5°C)
Minimum: 40°F (4.4°C)
3. Operating Water Pressure:
Maximum: 100 psi (7.0kg/cm2)
Minimum: 40 psi (2.8kg/cm2)
4. pH
2 to 11
5. Maximum iron present in incoming feed water supply must be less than 0.2 ppm.
6. Hardness of more than 10 grains per gallon (170 ppm) may reduce membrane life expectancy.
7. Recommend TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) not to exceed 1800 ppm.

While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58 for reduction of the substances listed below
, and is certified NSF/ANSI 372
for lead free compliance.
The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration
less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system as specified in NSF/ANSI 58. This system has been tested for
the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As (V), As (+5), or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.30 mg/L or
less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies
containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the system inlet or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only
pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic
to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for further information.
Depending on water chemistry, water temperature, and water pressure Watts RO Systems production and performance will vary.
Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water
under operating conditions that approximate typical daily usage. Recovery rating means the percentage of the influent water to the
membrane portion of the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water when the system is operated without a
storage tank or when the storage tank is bypassed. There is an average of 4 gallons of reject water for every 1 gallon of product water
produced. Watts 210-677-8400 or Fax 210-677-8402. REFER TO OWNER’S INSTALLATION/SERVICE MANUAL FOR FURTHER
