INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
READ THIS ENTIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE GUIDE BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
The 123 Series Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Treatment Systems have been designed for ease of installation and
serviceability. They are constructed with the finest materials available. Using these instructions and paying close
attention to parameters outlined within "CONDITIONS FOR USE" detailed on Page I will ensure a successful installation.
All systems must be installed in accordance with applicable city, state, and local plumbing codes. To ensure a system
continues to operate at its optimum level, it is necessary to have a routine maintenance and replacement schedule (Table 3).
Frequency at which filters must be changed will depend on quality of feed water supply and level of system usage.
These RO systems contain a replaceable treatment component critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specification, as defined by WaterGroup
to assure the same efficiency. Product water shall be tested periodically to verify the system is performing properly.
Operator performs test using the optional Smartap
®
Water Quality Monitor.
PREPARATION
1. Check that all appropriate components are packed
with your system (Figures 1.A. and 1.B.). Refer to
applicable Component Parts Breakdown (Figures 7, 9,
10.A. or 10.B.) for a complete list of parts.
2. Determine locations for RO component installation.
Two requirements for consideration are: access to
cold water supply line and household sink drainpipe.
Specific requirements are detailed in Table 2.
COMPONENT LOCATION REQUIREMENTS Table 2
PRODUCT WATER FAUCET
Faucet may be installed in any convenient location.
Make sure underside of location is free of obstructions.
REVERSE OSMOSIS MODULE*
Module may be installed under sink or in any convenient
location within 15 feet of source water supply and faucet.
STORAGE TANK
Tank may be placed in any space within 15 feet of faucet, generally under kitchen sink or in an adjacent unused cabinet.
Tubing length between components should be kept to a minimum, avoiding sharp bends or kinks.
DO NOT PLACE MODULE WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO FREEZING AND/OR DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
MODULE MUST BE EASILY REMOVABLE FOR PERFORMANCE OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.
Mount Module on side of cabinet using bracket (attached to Module) and two screws provided in the Installation Kit.
HOLD THE MODULE BY THE FILTER HOUSINGS WHEN PICKING UP OR CARRYING UNIT.
NOTE
THIS DRINKING WATER SYSTEM IS FOR USE ON POTABLE WATER SUPPLIES ONLY.
SOURCE WATER EXCEEDING CHEMICAL PARAMETERS REQUIRES PRE-TREATMENT.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS PLUMBING CODES 248 CMR SHALL BE ADHERED TO.
CONSULT WITH YOUR LICENSED PLUMBER FOR INSTALLATION OF THIS SYSTEM.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE WITH WATER THAT IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY
WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Table 3
Service Requirements Recommended Service Intervals
To insure the system operates at its optimum level, certain routine maintenance
must be performed. Frequency of maintenance performance
will depend on feed water quality and level of system usage.
CLEAN: Each time filters are replaced
SANITIZE: At least once a year and each time membrane is replaced
Replace filters as required or every 6 to 12 months
depending on feed water quality.
Replace membrane as required based on Smartap
®
Water Quality Monitor indication or periodic TDS rejection tests.
Maximum recommended service life for membrane is 60 months.
