Thank you for your purchase of a state of the art Watts Premier Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system. Water quality concerns are becoming more of a focus for the public. You may have heard about contaminants in the drinking water, such as Arsenic, Chromium, Cryptosporidium or Giardia. There may also be some local water issues such as high levels of

Lead and Copper. This Watts Premier water treatment system has been designed and tested to provide you with high quality drinking water for years to come. The following is a brief overview of the system.

Your Reverse Osmosis System:

Osmosis is the process of water passing through a semi permeable membrane in order to balance the concentration of contaminants on each side of the membrane. A semi permeable membrane is a barrier that will pass some particles like clean drinking water, but not other particles like arsenic and lead.

Reverse osmosis uses a semi permeable membrane; however, by applying pressure across the membrane, it concentrates contaminants (like a strainer) on one side of the membrane, producing crystal clear water on the other. This is why RO systems produce both clean drinking water and waste water that is flushed from the system. This reverse osmosis system also utilizes carbon block filtration technology, and can therefore provide a higher quality drinking water than carbon filtration systems alone.

Your system is a four or five stage RO which is based upon separate treatment segments within the one complete water filtration system. These stages are as follows:

Stage 1 – Sediment filter, recommended change 6 months.

The first stage of your RO system is a five micron sediment filter that traps sediment and other particulate matter like dirt, silt and rust which affect the taste and appearance of your water.

Stage 2 and 3 – Carbon filters, recommended change 6 months.

The second and third stages each contain a 5 micron carbon block filter. This helps ensure that chlorine, chloramines and other materials that cause bad taste and odor are greatly reduced.

Stage 4- Membrane, recommended change 2-5 years.

Stage four is the heart of the reverse osmosis system, the RO membrane. This semi permeable membrane will effectively take out TDS & Sodium and a wide range of contaminants such as Percholate, Chromium, Arsenic,

Copper, Lead as well as Cysts, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Because the process of extracting this high quality drinking water takes time, your RO water treatment system is equipped with a storage tank.

Stage 5- Carbon in-line filter, recommended change 6 - 12 months.

The final stage is an in-line granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. This filter is used after the water storage tank, and is used as a final polishing filter.

Note: Filter & Membrane life may vary based upon local water conditions and/or use patterns.

System Maintenance

Just because you can not taste it, does not mean that it is not there. Contaminants such as Lead, Chromium and Arsenic are undetectable to the taste. Additionally, over time if you do not replace the filter elements, other bad tastes and odors will be apparent in your drinking water.

It is important to change out your filters at the recommended intervals as indicated in this system manual. When replacing the filter elements, pay special attention to any cleaning instructions. Should you have any further questions please refer to our web site at www.wattspremier.com

or call our customer service department at

1-800-752-5582.

With proper installation and maintenance, this system will provide you with high quality water for years to come.

All of Premier’s water enhancement products are rigorously tested by independent laboratories for safety and reliability.

Drill a Hole for the Reverse Osmosis Faucet

Marble Counter-top

We recommend contacting a qualified contractor for drilling a hole in a marble counter-top.

Counter Top / Porcelain & Stainless Steel Sink

Note: Most sinks are pre drilled with 1 ¼” diameter hole that you can use for your RO faucet.

(If you are already using it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see step 1)

Porcelain sinks are extremely hard and can crack or chip easily.

Use extreme caution when drilling. Watts accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from the installation of faucet. Diamond tip bit recommended.

Step 1 Determine desired location for the RO faucet on your sink and place a piece of masking tape over where the hole is to be drilled. Mark the center of the hole on the tape.

Step 2

Using a variable speed drill set on the slowest speed, drill a 1/8“ pilot hole through both porcelain and metal casing of sink at the marked center of the desired location. Use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the drill bit cool (If drill bit gets hot it may cause the porcelain to crack or chip).

Step 3

Using a 1

¼

” diamond tip hole saw, proceed to drill the large hole. Keep drill speed on the slowest speed and use lubricating oil or liquid soap to keep the hole saw cool during cutting.

Step 4 After drilling, remove all sharp edges and make sure the surroundings of the sink are cooled before mounting the faucet.

How to use the Quick Connect Fittings

To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed into the fitting. The unique locking system holds the tube firmly in place without deforming it or restricting flow. Use the steps below in reference to any quick connect tube connections.

It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting.

Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed into the tube stop.

Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet

(gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.

Page 6

Pull on the tube to check that it is secure. It is a good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and /or before use.

To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before removing the tube. Push in the collect squarely against face of fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be reused.

Helpful Installation Tips for the Watts Top Mount Faucet

During shipping/handling the tog

gle bolt on your new faucet may push up out of position. Prior to the install, hold the faucet as shown in the picture and pull down on the wing nut. This will ensure that the

O-rings are in their proper position and that your faucet will have a good seal.

Disassembling your faucet is never recommended as this could void your warranty. If it is necessary to remove the fitting at the end of the toggle bolt you must follow the fol

lowing procedure for re-assembly.

Prior to re-connecting the fitting to the toggle bolt, you must insert the 3/8” blue tube into the fitting.

There are small O-rings inside of the fitting that could be pushed out of position if the blue tube is not fully inserted first. Failure to do so may cause the faucet to leak.

Drain Saddle Installation

Drain Saddle fits standard 1 ¼” – 1 ½” drain pipes

Caution:

If you have a garbage disposal, do not install the drain saddle near it.

Installation of the drain saddle must be either above the garbage disposal, or if a second sink drain is available, install it above the cross bar on the second drain. Installation of the drain saddle near a garbage disposal may cause the drain line to plug. If no other installation of drain line is available, Watts

Premier offers drain line installation kit (part number 164020) that can be used with garbage disposals.

Step 9

Gather the pieces of the drain saddle:

1 Black compression nut

2 Screws

2 Nuts for screws

1 Semicircle bracket with opening

1 Foam gasket

1 Semicircle bracket

Step 10

The small square black foam gasket with a circle cut out of the middle must be applied to the inside of the drain saddle. Remove sticky tape backing and stick to the drain saddle as shown.

Step 11

The drain saddle must be mounted at least 1 ½” above the nut of the

P-trap or cross bar from the garbage disposal to insure proper drainage.

Assemble the drain saddle around the drain pipe at the best available location. Using Phillips screw driver tighten screws evenly and securely on both sides of the drain saddle. Keep the plastic compression nut off at this time.

Caution: Do not over tighten the screws. It may crack the drain saddle.

Drill hole and Connect 3/8” Black Tube from Faucet to the Drain Saddle

IMPORTANT:

Step 12

The black 3/8” drain tube must be as SHORT and STRAIGHT as possible to the drain saddle, making a downward slope from faucet to drain saddle to allow for proper drainage. This is a gravity fed line and if there is any bend or dip in the tube, the rinse water will not flow into the drain properly. Water may back up and come out the air gap hole in the back of the faucet.

With the drain saddle secured onto the drain pipe, using a 1/4” drill bit installed in your electric drill, insert the drill bit through the opening in the drain saddle and drill into the drain pipe.

Caution: It is very important to keep the drill centered to prevent damage of the drain saddle while drilling. Be very careful to drill only through once side of the drain!

Step 13

Measure the 3/8” black tube from faucet to the drain saddle on the drain pipe and make a straight cut to the correct length.

Step 14

Slip black tube through black compression nut. Insert black tube into the opening in the drain saddle and hand tighten the black nut, and add 1/4 turn with a wrench.

Page 11

Green Tube Connection

Step 15 Locate green tube attached to the RO Module. Insert the open end of the green 1/4” tube into the open 1/4” quick connect fitting on the plastic water feed valve making sure the tube is pushed in all the way to the tube stop.

Reverse Osmosis Module Mounting

Step 16 Determine best location for the RO module to be mounted to allow for future system maintenance. Using the mounting holes on the bracket, mark the location for the mounting screws on the cabinet wall under the sink. In the parts bag, locate the two self tapping screws. Using an electric drill with a Phillips bit, screw them into the cabinet at the marked location. Hang the module on the screws using the mounting holes in the bracket

Note: Do not cut any RO system tubes at this time

Red 1/4” Tube Connection (from faucet)

Step 17

Using the white plastic union found in the parts bag, determine where the 1/4” red tubing from the faucet and the 1/4” red tubing from the

RO membrane housing would join together comfortably. Cut red tube from RO faucet to length leaving a straight cut edge. Insert the red tube from RO faucet in one end of the white plastic union and the red tube from RO membrane housing in the other end. Use a 5/8” wrench to tighten both of the white plastic nuts securely.

Tank Tee Installation

Step 18

Teflon tape must be applied in a clockwise direction. Wrap 5 to 7 turns around the male pipe threads (MPT) on the Stainless Steel fitting on top of the tank.

Step 19

Caution:

Thread the brass tee (supplied in the parts bag) onto the brass connection on the top of the tank and tighten using an adjustable wrench.

Do not apply Teflon tape to the tee’s compression fitting threads. If taped, it will leak.

Page 14

Congratulations!

You have completed the installation of new your Reverse Osmosis system.

Please Follow the Startup Instructions.

Start up Instructions

Step 1

Note:

Turn on the incoming cold water at the angle stop valve and the

Adapt-a-Valve. Check the system for leaks and tighten any fittings as necessary. (Check frequently over the next 24 hours to ensure no leaks are present).

ON

If you have connected your RO system to a refrigerator / ice maker, make sure the ice maker is off (do not allow water to flow to the ice maker) until flushing (Step 4) is complete and the tank has been allowed to fill completely. Connection from the RO to the ice maker system should have an in-line valve installed before the ice maker so it can easily be closed to prevent water flowing to the ice maker during start up and periodic maintenance. Your storage tank must be allowed to fill up fully in order for the ice maker system to work properly.

Step 2

Step 3

Note:

Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out (this may take a few minutes and the water will come out slowly).

Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water.

It may take 3 to 6 hours to fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water temperature and water pressure.

During the fill period you may hear water trickling which is a normal occurrence.

Step 4 After the storage tank has filled open the RO Faucet to flush the tank completely. You will know that the tank is empty when the flow rate from the RO faucet is down to a trickle. Repeat this step two more times. The fourth tank can be used for drinking.

The flushing process should take about a day to complete.

Note: Flushing of the tank 3 times is only necessary during the initial startup and after replacing the membrane.

Don’t Forget To Register!

Water may be saved in a container for drinking or to rinse system parts.

Step 3 Let system sit for one minute after the tank is empty to let the system depressurize before attempting to remove filter housings.

Step 4

For more leverage you may leave the RO module attached to wall of cabinet. If you are unable to access the module while it is mounted, remove it prior to changing filters. Starting with the closest housing

(Stage 1), remove it by turning it clockwise (left), empty water, then discard filter. Continue on to the 2 nd housing (Stage 2) and 3 rd housing

(Stage 3).

Note: If you own a four stage system it will not have the third stage.

A four stage system has two vertical housings instead of three.

Step 5

Clean the filter housings (bowls) with a mild soap solution and rinse with water. Check O-rings and lubricate with water soluble lubricant.

KY Jelly ® or other water based lubricants may be used. Petroleum based lubricants (such as Vaseline ® ) must not be used.

Loosen

Caution:

Before re-installing the filter bowls back on to the system, check Orings to make sure they are still in place. *

Step 6

Step 7

Insert a new sediment filter (cloth like appearance) into the 1st filter housing which is the one on the water inlet side (green tubing from the feed water valve) of the RO system and re-install housing.

Insert the new Carbon Block filter (White end caps & plastic netting) into the second and third filter bowls and re-install housings.

Step 8

Turn water supply on to the unit.

Step 9

*

Step 10

Open the RO faucet and leave it open until water begins to trickle out

(it will come out slowly).

Close the RO faucet allowing the storage tank to fill with water.

It may take 3 to 6 hours to fill the tank completely depending on the production capability of the membrane, local water temperature and water pressure.

filter housing which is the one on the water inlet side (green tubing from the adapt-a-valve) of the RO system and re-install housing.

Insert the new Carbon Block filter (White End Caps) into the 2nd and 3rd housing and re-install housing.

Step 10

The final in-line filter is located on the blue tube between the storage tank and the RO faucet.

Remove it by loosening the compression fittings on both ends of the filter and replace with new filter. (Discard used final filter after santizing)

Note:

The arrow on the final filter must be pointing towards the RO faucet / away from the

RO storage tank.

Tip: This is a good time to check the air pressure in your storage tank. For instructions please see page 18.

Step 11

Follow Steps 8 through 10 in the Six Month System Maintenance (Page 15) for startup directions.

Page 17

This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component (the RO membrane) which is critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of this reverse osmosis membrane should be with one of identical specifications as defined by

Watts Premier to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.

Membrane Replacement

Membranes have a life expectancy between 2 and 5 years, depending on the incoming water conditions and the amount the RO system is used. This reverse osmosis membrane is critical for effective reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS). The product water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily.

Normally, a membrane would be replaced during a semiannual or annual filter change. However, if at any time you notice a reduction in water production or an unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis water, it could be time to replace the membrane. Watts Premier recommends replacing the membrane when TDS reduction falls below 75%.

Note: A water sample may be sent to Watts Premier for a free diagnosis of your membrane

performance.

To send a water sample, use two (2) clean containers and fill ½ cup of tap water in one container and ½ cup of reverse osmosis water in 2nd container. Clearly label each sample. Send the samples to the address listed on the cover of this manual attention “Water

Samples”. Watts Premier will test the water and mail or call you with the results.

Step 1

Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO.

Step 2 Open the RO Faucet and allow water to drain from the tank until it is completely empty.

Removing the membrane:

Step 3

Use a 5/8” wrench to remove the Green Tube fitting on the left side of the horizontal membrane housing (end with one elbow).

Step 4 Remove the cap from the membrane housing by turning it counter clockwise to loosen.

Note:

Step 5

A double sided wrench may be purchased from Premier to aid with loosening the cap / filter housings. (Part # 164003)

Remove membrane housing from the holding clips. Using a pair of pliers, grip the PVC tube of the RO membrane and pull firmly on the membrane to remove from the housing and discard.

Loosen

Installing the membrane:

Step 6 Lubricate the O-rings on the new membrane with a water soluble lubricant such as KY Jelly ®. Insert the end with the two black

O-rings first into the housing.

Step 7 Once membrane has been inserted into the housing you must take your thumbs and give a firm push to properly seat the membrane.

Replace membrane housing cap and tighten.

Step 8

Step 9

After replacing membrane housing into clips, attach the green tube to the elbow on cap using 5/8” wrench.

Follow the Start Up Instructions on page 14.

Page 18

Check Air Pressure in the Tank

Important: Check air pressure only when tank is empty of water!

Check air pressure in the storage tank when you notice a decrease in available water from the RO system. Air can be added with a bicycle pump using the schrader valve that is located on the lower side of the tank behind the blue plastic cap.

Step 1

Turn off the incoming water supply to the RO.

Step 2 Open the RO Faucet and allow water to drain from the tank until it is completely empty.

7

PSI

Tip: When water from the RO faucet slows to a trickle, with the faucet still in the open position, you may add air to the tank to purge any left over water, this will ensure that the tank is completely empty.

Step 3 Once all water in the tank is purged, check air pressure using an air pressure gauge, it should read between 5 - 7 PSI. (Digital air pressure gauge is recommended)

Step 4 Follow startup procedure on page 14.

Procedure for Extended Non-Use (More than 2 months)

Turn off the water supply and open the RO faucet to empty the storage tank (Save a few ounces of RO water). Once the storage tank is empty, remove the membrane and place it in a sealed plastic bag with the RO water saved earlier and store in your refrigerator.

DO NOT FREEZE.

For restart, reinstall membrane (See page 17 for membrane installation procedure) and follow startup procedure on page 14.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Low/Slow Production Low Water Pressure

Crimps in tubing

Clogged pre-filters

Fouled membrane

Assure a minimum of 40 psi incoming water pressure.

Premier sells a booster pump if home water pressure is low. Make sure water supply is turned on and feed water valve is all the way open.

Check tubing and straighten or replace as necessary.

Replace pre-filters.

Replace membrane.

2. Milky colored Water Air in system Air in the system is a normal occurrence with initial start up of the RO system. This milky look will disappear during normal use within 1-2 weeks. If condition reoccurs after filter change, drain tank 1 to 2

times.

3. Water constantly

running, unit will not

shut off

Low water pressure See #1 Above

Crimp in supply tube

High water pressure

Check tubing and straighten or repair as necessary.

Check incoming water pressure to make sure it does not exceed 80 psi. A pressure relief valve may be

necessary.

High pressure in Tank Empty storage tank of water. Set tank air pressure

Low Pressure in Tank between 5-7 psi. See previous page.

Use a Digital Air Gauge for best results. The empty tank pressure should be 5-7 psi. See page 18.

4. Noise / Water from faucet Crimp or restriction

vent hole or noise from in drain line

drain.

Drain tube clogged

Check tubing and straighten or repair as necessary.

Straighten all drain lines. Clear blockage. Cut off any

Excess tubing

Caused from dishwasher or garbage disposal.

Disconnect the 3/8” black line at the drain, clean the

3/8” black line out with a wire, then reconnect. Blowing air through the line will not always remove the clog.

5. Small amount of water in

storage tank

System starting up Normally it takes 4-6 hours to fill tank. Note: low incoming water pressure and/or temperature can

drastically rate.

Low water pressure

To much air in tank

Arsenic Fact Sheet

Arsenic (As) is a naturally occurring contaminant found in many ground waters. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It must be measured by an arsenic test kit or lab test.

Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can obtain the results from your water utility contained with in your consumer confidence report. If you have your own well, you will need to have the water evaluated. The local health department or the state environmental health agency can provide a list of test kits or certified labs.

There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic (also called As (V), As (+5)) and trivalent arsenic (also called As (III), As (+3)). In well water, arsenic may be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Although both forms of arsenic are potentially hazardous to your health, trivalent arsenic is considered more harmful than pentavalent arsenic.

RO systems are very effective at removing pentavalent arsenic. A free chlorine residual will rapidly convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Other water treatment chemicals such as ozone and potassium permanganate will also change trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. A combined chlorine residual (also called chloramine) where it does convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic, may not convert all the trivalent arsenic in to pentavalent arsenic. If you get your water from a public water utility, contact the utility to find out if free chlorine or combined chlorine is used in the water system.

This Watts Premier reverse osmosis system is designed to remove up to 98% of pentavalent arsenic. It will not convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Under laboratory standard testing conditions, this system reduced 0.30 mg/L (ppm) pentavalent arsenic to under 0.010 mg/L (ppm) (the USEPA standard for drinking water). Actual performance of the system may vary depending on specific water quality conditions at the consumer’s installation. In addition to the independent laboratory standard testing conditions Watts Premier has conducted additional field testing on our reverse osmosis units to determine trivalent arsenic reduction capabilities. Based upon Watts Premier field testing, it has been determined that the RO units are capable of reducing up to 67% of trivalent arsenic from the drinking water.

The RO membrane component of this Watts Premier reverse osmosis system must be maintained according to its recommended maintenance cycle. Specific component identification and ordering information can be found in the installation/operation manual maintenance section, by phone at 1-800-752-5582 or online www.wattspremier.com
