THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Your Merlin™ Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water System is a
water treatment unit. It uses water pressure to reverse a natural
physical process called osmosis. Water, under pressure, is forced
through a semi-permeable membrane to filter out minerals and
impurities. Clean drinking water goes to the faucet. Minerals and
impurities are sent to the drain with RO waste water.
The system includes replaceable filters and membrane elements. The
prefilter removes sand, silt, dirt, rust particles, other sediments, and
chlorine from the water supply before they enter the RO membrane
elements. The postfilter removes any tastes and/or odors that may
remain in the water after passing through the RO membrane elements.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE RO SYSTEM
• Best performance of the system will be achieved when the
incoming water has been treated (softened).
• The water coming into the system must be within certain limits for
sediments, pressure, etc. Refer to the specifications to determine if
your installation is within the limits.
• A water quality analysis can be performed to determine if incoming
water requires any treatment. Contact your dealer/installer.
• The filters and membrane elements in the RO system need to be
replaced on a regular basis. Follow the instructions for replacement
that are in this manual.
NOTE: For optimal system performance, use the system for at least
2 minutes continuously each day.
WARNING: The Merlin RO system is designed to work without the
aid of a storage tank. DO NOT connect a pressurized storage tank to
the Merlin permeate line. Damage to the system may occur if a
pressurized storage tank is used with the Merlin RO system.
