Overview

Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Pure H2O

Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system. Water quality

concerns are becoming more of a focus for the public. You

may have heard about contaminants in the drinking water

such as Arsenic, Chromium, Cryptosporidium or Giardia.

There may also be some local water issues such as high levels

of Lead and Copper. This Pure H2O water treatment system

has been designed to provide you with high quality drinking

water for years to come. 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.

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 rinse water that

is flushed from the system. This 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 three stage Reverse Osmosis which is based

upon separate treatment segments within the one complete

water filtration system. These stages are as follows:

Stage 1 – Carbon Block Filter, recommended change

every 6 months.

The first 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. It is independently tested and

verified to trap matter like dirt, silt, and rust.

Stage 2- Reverse Osmosis Membrane, recommended

change every 2-5 years.

The second stage is the heart of the reverse osmosis system,

the 50GPD (Gallons Per Day) RO membrane. This independently

tested and verified semi-permeable membrane will effectively

reduce TDS, Sodium and a wide range of contaminants such

as Chromium, Arsenic, Copper, and Lead, as well as Cysts,

such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Because the process of

extracting this high quality drinking water takes time, your RO

water treatment system is equipped with a storage tank.

Stage 3- Granular Activated Carbon filter, recommended

change every 12 months.

The third stage is a Granular activated carbon (GAC) filter.

This filter is used after the water storage tank, as a final

polishing filter to the product water. There is an average of

4 gallons of reject water for every 1 gallon of product water

produced. That is why the life of the GAC filter is extended to

12 months vs the 6 months Carbon block.

Note: Filter & Membrane life may vary based upon local water

conditions and/or use patterns.

WARNING

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of

unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after

the system.

IMPORTANT

If you are unsure about installing your WATTS water filter, contact

a WATTS representative or consult a professional plumber.

CAUTION

Discard small parts remaining after the installation.

NOTICE

Failure to install the system correctly voids the warranty.

Handle all components of the system with care. Do not drop,

drag or turn components upside down.

Be sure the floor under the water filter system is clean, level

and strong enough to support the unit.
