- SAFETY GUIDES -
DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM ON
MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE WATER,
OR WATER OF UNKNOWN QUALITY
WITHOUT ADEQUATE DISINFECTION
BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.
Systems certified for cyst reduction may
be used on disinfected water that may
contain filterable cysts.
CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC
WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR PLUMBING
AND SANITATION CODES. YOU MUST
FOLLOW THEIR GUIDES AS YOU INSTALL
THE SYSTEM. FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL
CODES IF THEY DIFFER WITH GUIDES IN
THIS MANUAL.
house water pressure is over the maximum,
install a pressure reducing valve in the water
supply to the Home Drinking Water System.
Do not install the Home Drinking Water System
outside, or in extreme hot or cold temp-
eratures. Temperature of the water supply to
the Home Drinking Water System must be be-
tween 40OF (minimum) and 100OF (maximum).
See the specification table on page 17. DO
NOT INSTALL ON HOT WATER.
Read the other limits (pH, hardness, etc.) on
page 17 and be sure your water supply con-
forms. Please read WATER SUPPLY, page 4.
The Home Drinking Water System works on
water pressure of 40 psi (minimum) to 125 psi
(maximum). See the table on page 17. If your
- WHAT YOUR HOME DRINKING WATER SYSTEM WILL DO -
Your Home Drinking Water System is a REVERSE
OSMOSIS (RO) water treating unit. It uses
household water pressure to reverse a natural
physical process called osmosis. Water, under
pressure, is forced through a semi-permeable mem-
brane where minerals and impurities are screen-
ed out and sent down the drain with the waste
water. These minerals and impurities are measured
as total dissolved solids (TDS).
The system includes replaceable pre and postfilter
sediment-carbon cartridges. The prefilter removes
sand, dirt, rust particles and other sediments. It also
takes chlorine out of the feed water. The postfilter
removes any remaining tastes and/or odors just
before water is taken from the system faucet. The
storage area holds almost 1 gallon of RO product
water for your needs.
The undersink system connects to a house COLD
water pipe for a water supply. An automatic shutoff
valve prevents water waste when the storage area
is full and the faucet is closed.
The drinking water system gives you a continuous
supply of sparkling clear, delicious water for drink-
ing and cooking. Foods will look better and taste
better too. The system eliminates the need to buy
bottled water. Instead, it puts high quality water right
at your fingertips.
NOTE: A product data sheet is included, and also
available from Sears. The data sheet lists what this
RO system will remove (or reduce) from the water.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR
The electronic model has 2 water quality sensors,
located in the electronic box. Indicator lights on the
faucet base work with the sensors, or probes, to
show you when water quality is good, and when the
system needs servicing.
As you take water from the RO faucet, a flashing
green light means the system is giving you high
quality RO water. Over a period of time, the RO
membrane, prefilter cartridge and postfilter begin
to lose efficiency. Flashing amber lights (see pages
12, 13 and 14) tell you when to service the RO mem-
brane and filters.
