Using the Reverse Osmosis System
Water Flow Description
1. Water enters prefilter. Sand, silt and other sediments are reduced. Chlorine is also reduced.
2. Water leaves prefilter and proceeds to the Reverse Osmosis cartridge.
3. Water enters the Reverse Osmosis membrane. Dissolved solids are reduced.
4. Processed water leaves the Reverse Osmosis membrane and flows to the storage tank.
5. Drain water with dissolved solids leaves the Reverse Osmosis membrane and flows to the drain.
6. Faucet is activated.
7. Processed water leaves the storage tank and flows to the postfilter, where it is filtered to ensure fresh taste.
8. Water flows to the Reverse Osmosis faucet.
