Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Premier ZeroWaste
®
Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system.
Water quality concerns are quickly becoming more of a focus for the public. Lately you may have heard about contaminants
in the drinking water, such as arsenic, perchlorate, and chromium. There may also be some local water issues in your area
such as high levels of lead, radium and copper. This Premier water treatment system has been designed and tested to provide
you with high quality water for years to come. The following is a brief overview of the system.
Your ZeroWaste
®
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 some particles like clean
water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.
Reverse osmosis uses a semi permeable membrane; however, by applying pressure across the membrane, it concentrates
contaminants (like a strainer) on one side of the membrane, producing crystal clear water on the other. This is why RO
systems produce both clean drinking water and waste water that is flushed from the system. In an effort to provide high
quality drinking water while meeting the water supply challenges across the country, Premier has patented this ZeroWaste
®
RO system. This ZeroWaste® RO is 100% effective in providing high quality reverse osmosis drinking water while not
wasting any water down the drain.
This ZeroWaste® reverse osmosis system also utilizes carbon block filtration technology, and can therefore provide a higher
quality drinking water than carbon filtration systems alone.
Your system is a four 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 6 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 filters, recommended change 6 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- Membrane, recommended change 2-5 years.
Stage three is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the RO membrane. This semi permeable membrane will
effectively take out TDS, Sodium and heavy metals such as arsenic, copper, and lead. Because the process of making
this high quality drinking water takes time, your RO water treatment system is equipped with a storage tank.
Stage 4- Carbon inline filter, recommend change 6 - 12 months.
The final stage is an inline granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. This filter is used after the water storage tank,
and is used as a final polishing filter.
System Maintenance
Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Contaminants such as lead, chromium and arsenic (to
name a few) 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.
This is why 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. Should you have any further questions please
