How Your RO Water System Works HOW YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM WORKS Introduction: Your Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water System uses your household water pressure to force water through three filters. Minerals and impuri- ties are filtered out. Delicious tasting drinking water goes to the storage tank-ready for your use.
How Your RO Water System Works air gap gravity drain WASTE WATER AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF WATER GREEN PREFILTER Reverse Osmosis Water Flow Schematic Water Flow Description 1. Water enters prefilter. Sand, silt and other sediments are reduced. Chlorine is also reduced. See Fig. 25. 2.
PREFILTER/POSTFILTER MAINTENANCE NOTE: It is recommended to replace the battery, prefilter and postfilter cartridges at least every 6 months of product water use. Replace more often if they begin to plug with sediments. The prefilter and postfilter are replaceable sediment cartridges with activated carbon in its composition.
FLOW CONTROL The flow control is vital for proper operation of the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge. See Fig. 27. The flow control, located in the red tube at the system hous- ing, keeps water flowing through the membrane at the required rate.

Problem: Chlorine taste and/or odor in the RO product water. Cause: The level of chlorine in your water supply exceeds maximum limits, and has destroyed the Reverse Osmosis mem- brane. Cause: The prefilter is no longer reducing chlo- rine from the water supply. Problem: Other taste and/or odor.
Problem: Water leaking from faucet airgap hole. Cause: Drain side of faucet airgap (3/8” black tub- ing) plugged, restricted or incorrectly con- nected to drain point. Problem: Faucet LED indicator light does not function after battery change. Cause: Battery dead. Cause: Battery installed incorrectly.
