Instruction

  • Assembly Instructions: 1. Sediment Filter: Recommended change 3-6 months or 2,500 gallons total or 650 gallons of filtered water. The first stage of your RO unit is a five micron sediment filter that traps sediment and other particulate matter like dirt, silt and rust which will affect the taste and appearance of your water.2. Carbon Block Filter: Recommended change 3-6 months or 2,500 gallons total or 650 gallons of filtered water (at 1 ppm chlorine). The second stage of your RO unit is a carbon block filter. The activated carbon in the filter reduces chlorine and conditions the water prior to the RO membrane.3. RO Membrane: Recommended change 12-24 months The RO membrane reduces impurities known as total dissolved solids (TDS) from the water down to 1/10,000 of a micron, reducing arsenic, lead, parasitic cysts, copper and more. Because the process of filtering the high-quality water takes time, it is common to use a storage tank to collect filtered water, making it available on demand. 4. Color Changing Resin (Deionization): Replace filter when resin changes color. After the water is filtered by the membrane, there is usually a small amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) left in the water. In certain non-drinking water applications, it is important to remove the remaining TDS from the water. This is accomplished by filtering the water through a resin that is charged with cation and anion resins (H+ and OH-). As the resin absorbs the TDS, it will change color. When all resin has changed color, it is time to replace the DI filter.
  • Use Instructions: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the unit. The maximum incoming water pressure for the unit is 80 PSI. If the pressure is more than 80 PSI, a pressure regulator is required. If the water pressure is less than 40 PSI, a booster pump is needed. Water hardness should not exceed 10 grains per gallon or 170 parts per million. Operating above this may shorten the membrane life. Reverse osmosis filtered water should not be run through a copper tube. The pure RO water can leach copper from the pipe, eventually leading to holes in the pipe. DO NOT operate the unit unattended.NOTE: Filter cartridges and membrane life may vary based on local water conditions and amount of use.Water Supply Installation: This Aquatic Life TI Filter unit includes three options for easy connection to a water supply.Option 1: Connect to a standard water faucet (often found on the exterior of houses, utility sinks, and washing machines) with the hose bib connection.Option 2: Connect to the 1/2 water supply line. The under-sink water line adapter connects to the sink water supply and provides a way to connect the ¼ tubing. Hand tightening this adapter is usually sufficient. However, if needed, use a 1 ¼ adjustable wrench.Option 3: Your RO unit includes a special adapter that will connect to most kitchen and bathroom faucets. To install: 1. Remove the existing aerator on the sink faucet. 2. Thread-in the two-piece sink faucet adapter. 3. Attach the hose bib connection to the other end of the sink faucet adapter.Drain Saddle Installation: All reverse osmosis units will produce waste water. The waste water contains high concentrations of TDS, but would be acceptable to use on plants. Depending on your installation, you may want to save the waste water for other uses.Another option is to connect the reverse osmosis waste line to the drain under a sink. We have included a drain saddle that will fit standard size sink drain pipes.1. Locate all pieces of the drain saddle:1 - Bracket with ¼ press fit opening1 – Bracket – solid2 – Screws & nuts1 – Foam gasket2. Remove the center punch and peel tape backing from the foam gasket. Apply the gasket to bracket.3. The drain saddle must be mounted at least 2 above the nut of the p-trap or cross bar from the garbage disposal to insure proper drainage. Locate where the drain saddle will be mounted and mark with a piece of masking tape and pencil.4. Drill a ¼ hole in the drain pipe where you marked it on the masking tape. Remove the masking tape and clear any plastic burs/ shavings from the new hole in the drain pipe.5. Align the drain saddle with the drilled hole in the drain pipe using a screwdriver to ensure the holes are aligned.6. Tighten the two screws into the nuts using a Phillips screwdriver.Mounting The Reverse Osmosis/Deionization Unit: The Aquatic Life TI RO/DI unit is designed to be mounted to a secure surface. This will allow for the cartridges to easily be replaced as needed. The TI module includes a metal bracket with screw holes for easy hanging.Use screws designed for the type of surface that the TI module will hang on. Once the TI module is hanging on the screws, tighten the screws to secure the TI module.NOTE: If your model includes rubber plugs on any of the ports, it is now OK to remove the plug by simply pulling it out.Using the Buddie Fit Press Fittings:1. Remove the blue clip from the press fitting.2. Cut tubing evenly and not at an angle.3. Push the tubing into the fitting. You will hit the first stop. The tubing is still not secured properly. Push the tubing a second time and you will feel the tubing insert completely (5/8) into the press fitting.4. Pull back on the tubing to ensure it is secure.5. Insert the locking blue clip back onto the press fitting.NOTE: To remove a piece of tubing, remove the blue clip and press down on the collet where the tubing enters the fitting. While the collet is depressed, remove the tubing from the fitting.NOTE: We recommend cutting the tubing with a razor blade or something similar, so the tubing is not pinched. If the tubing is pinched, it will not seal properly. All tubing connections will have a “double push” into the connectors. You should feel a two-step insert to verify the tubing is inserted completely into the connectors.Install The Color-Coded Tubing:The Aquatic Life TI units include color-coded tubing to help easily identify filtered, incoming and waste water. This also makes it easier to correctly connect the tubing to the unit. Refer to the instructions on how to use Buddie Fit press fittings (left) before installing the tubing.1. Connect one end of the yellow tubing to the incoming water supply using one of the options.2. Connect the other end of the yellow tubing to the port on the TI module closest to the sediment cartridge.3. Connect one end of the red tubing to the waste port on the TI module. The other end of the red tubing should be connected to the saddle drain or secured in a way to handle the waste water.4. Connect one end of the blue tubing to the filtered water port on the TI module. This is the port closest to the DI cartridge. The other end of the blue line should be plumbed to the container that will collect your reverse osmosis/resin filtered water.Cartridge Installation: Each TI cartridge uses a triple gasket seal to prevent water leaks. The cartridges are easily installed into the TI module heads by inserting the cartridge into the head and twisting to the right. The TI module heads are equipped with a valve that automatically turns off the water supply to each filter cartridge when you remove the cartridge. To make the removal of the filter cartridges easier, the heads and cartridges can be tilted up.Preparing Cartridges for Use:Important: Flush carbon & membrane cartridges prior to use.The carbon cartridge may contain carbon dust that must be flushed out prior to installing the membrane. If it is not rinsed, carbon dust can plug the membrane and shorten it’s life. All ro membranes contain a preservative to keep them sterile. It is important to flush the preservative out of the membrane prior to using the filtered water. Turn on the water to the TI unit and allow to run for 30 minutes. Discard all the water from the first 30 minutes of operation. Flush cartridges have been included to allow for flushing of the carbon cartridge and RO membrane.1. Install a flush cartridge on the membrane and deionization heads. Run water through the sediment and carbon cartridges for five minutes or until the water runs clear.2. Remove the flush cartridge from the membrane head and install the membrane. Run water through the unit for 30 minutes to flush the preservative out of the new membrane. Discard all waste and filtered water for the first 30 minutes.3. Remove the flush cartridge from the deionization head and install the deionization cartridge.NOTE: Return new cartridge to down position after installation.NOTE: Cartridges must be installed in the correct order. Match the cartridge label/color to the labels on TI module heads. Failure to do so will result in loss of filter performance and can shorten the lifespan of the filter.
