A. IMPORT ANT WA TER QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS Reverse Osmosis drinking water appliances contain treatment components that are critical for the effective reduction of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) as well as inor- ganic chemical contaminants.
When to Replace the RO Membrane Cartridge • As determined by a built-in percent rejection (PR) monitor: The monitor is factory preset so that a green light will be displayed when the water quality is good, and a red or yellow light indicates that cartridge replacement may be necessary.
1) Close the feed water tapping valve and lift up on the faucet handle to empty the water in the storage tank. It should feel light when empty. 2) Shut off the faucet and close the valve at the top of tank. Disconnect the 3/8" yellow tubing from the back for the purification assembly.
