OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING: Before installing this reverse osmosis system, make
certain your water supply complies with the following operating
specifications. Failure to do so may reduce the effectiveness of the
system and will void the warranty .

If the hardness of your water is above 10 gpg, lime scale will build up rapidly on the

membrane . Scale buildup will plug the membrane and make the system ineffective . We
do not recommend these reverse osmosis systems to be used with water in excess of
10 gpg hardness .
A maximum total level of approximately 0.01 ppm sulfide, iron or manganese is
‡
permissible . See your local dealer or water treatment specialist to reduce these
substances in your water .

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
WARNING:
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
California Residents - Proposition 65 Warning - This
WARNING:
product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm .
CAUTION: Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION: Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the bottom of all plastic housings be replaced every
five years for clear and ten years for opaque. If the bottom of your

housing has been in use for longer than this period, it should be
replaced immediately . Date the bottom of any new or replacement
housing to indicate the next recommended replacement date .
NOTE: Your water must be within required limits for satisfactory
operation . If not, your membrane life may be shortened and your
warranty will be voided (see Specifications).
NOTE: .This reverse osmosis system will not protect against disease-
causing bacteria or remove naturally-occurring harmless bacteria .
NOTE: Install on cold water line only .
NOTE: Do not use wicking or sealer to fit connections into the cap of
the filter. Plumber tape is recommended.
NOTE: Make certain that installation complies with all state and local
laws and regulations .
NOTE: The replacement cartridges and reverse osmosis membrane
included with this system have limited service lives . Changes in taste,
odor, and color of the water being filtered indicate that the cartridge
should be replaced (see Replacing the Prefilter and Postfilter
Cartridges, and Replacing the 3rd Stage Reverse Osmosis Membrane) .
NOTE: After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation)
it is recommended that the system be flushed for 5 minutes before it
is used .
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine
black powder). After installation, flush the system for 5 minutes to
remove the carbon fines before using the water.
NOTE: It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds
prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes .
NOTE: The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced
by this water treatment device are not necessarily present in your
water .
HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) WORKS
The RO-2050 Reverse Osmosis (RO) System uses a semi-permeable
membrane to reduce dissolved salts and minerals, improving the
taste and odor of your water . The RO membrane is made of layers
of micron-thin film wound around a hollow center core. Water
molecules can pass through the membrane, but dissolved salts and
minerals are rejected .
The RO-2050 Reverse Osmosis System features 4-stage filter action.
Your water supply is prefiltered to reduce dirt and chlorine that may
foul the membrane. The RO membrane separates this prefiltered
water into PRODUCT WATER and DRAIN or REJECT WATER .
Incoming water pressure forces the product water through the
membrane and into the storage tank . Dissolved solids and other
contaminants cannot pass through the membrane and are sent to
the drain as reject water . When you open the drinking water faucet,
product water is drawn from the storage tank through an activated
carbon postfilter, providing you with cleaner, great-tasting water.
For each gallon of water produced, several gallons are discharged
as reject water . The storage tank can hold up to 2 .8 gallons of water
at a time, for drinking and cooking needs . When used under the
Specifications, your Reverse Osmosis membranes should last 12-24
months .
