2. Key Features
- Remineralization & Alkalization: The 3rd stage filter balances the alkalinity of RO water, adjusting the pH to above 7.5, and restores essential health-benefiting minerals.
- Tankless Design: A compact and sleek system that saves under-sink space and eliminates the risk of secondary pollution associated with traditional tanks.
- 600 GPD High Water Flow: Produces up to 600 gallons of water per day, providing fast and stable water flow, capable of filling a 330ml cup in approximately 10 seconds.
- 2:1 Low Drain Ratio: Utilizes advanced water-saving technology to maximize efficiency, saving up to 450% more water compared to conventional RO systems.
- Smart LED Display & Quick Change: Features a smart display panel showing real-time TDS output and remaining filter lifespan. Color-coded indicators provide timely reminders for filter changes. Filters are designed for quick, tool-free replacement.

4. Setup & Installation
The Frizzlife PD600-TAM3 system is designed for under-sink installation. Follow these general steps for a successful setup. Refer to the detailed installation diagram and video for visual guidance.
4.1 Installation Diagram
Figure 4: Comprehensive installation diagram illustrating the connections for the RO faucet, feed water adapter, drain saddle, and power supply. Optional connections for a refrigerator or mini water tank are also shown (accessories not included).
4.2 General Installation Steps
- Prepare the Area: Ensure sufficient space under your sink for the main unit and the TAM3 filter. Turn off the cold water supply.
- Install the RO Faucet: Drill a hole in your sink or countertop (if not already present) and install the dedicated RO faucet. Secure it firmly.
- Connect to Cold Water Supply: Install the feed water adapter to your cold water line. Connect the inlet tubing from the RO system to this adapter.
- Install the Drain Saddle: Attach the drain saddle to the drain pipe under your sink. Connect the drain tubing from the RO system to the drain saddle.
- Mount the Main Unit and TAM3 Filter: Place the main RO unit and the TAM3 filter in their desired positions under the sink. Ensure the TAM3 filter is connected correctly to the main unit.
- Connect Tubing: Connect the purified water tubing from the TAM3 filter to the RO faucet. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
- Power Connection: Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
- Flush the System: Turn on the cold water supply. Open the RO faucet and allow the system to flush for at least 30 minutes to remove air and carbon fines. Check for any leaks.

5. Operating Instructions
The Frizzlife PD600-TAM3 system is designed for straightforward operation with intelligent monitoring features.
5.1 Water Dispensing
Simply open the dedicated RO faucet to dispense purified water. The system will automatically activate and begin filtration. Close the faucet to stop the flow.
5.2 Smart LED Display
The main unit features a smart LED display that provides crucial information:
- Real-time TDS Output: Displays the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of the purified water, allowing you to monitor water quality.
- Filter Lifespan Indicators: Shows the remaining lifespan of each filter (CP, RO, TAM3) through color-coded indicators or numerical values, prompting timely replacements.
- Flush Function: A dedicated button for flushing the system, which is recommended periodically or after filter changes.
- Reset Function: A button to reset filter lifespan indicators after new filters are installed.
Figure 6: The smart LED display provides 24/7 TDS monitoring and indicates the status of the CP, RO, and TAM3 filters, along with flush and reset buttons.
5.3 Low Drain Ratio Operation
The system operates with an efficient 2:1 pure water to drain water ratio, meaning for every 2 gallons of purified water produced, only 1 gallon is sent to the drain. This significantly reduces water waste compared to older RO technologies.

6. Maintenance
Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining optimal water quality and system performance. The smart LED display will indicate when filters need changing.
6.1 Filter Replacement Schedule
- CP Filter (Composite Filter): Recommended replacement every 12 months.
- TAM3 Alkaline Filter: Recommended replacement every 12 months.
- 600G RO Membrane: Recommended replacement every 24 months.
Note: Filter lifespan may vary based on local water quality and usage volume.
6.2 Quick Change Filter Design
The Frizzlife PD600-TAM3 features a "Twist and Pull" design for easy, tool-free filter replacement, typically taking only a few seconds per filter.
Figure 8: The "Twist and Pull" mechanism simplifies filter replacement, allowing for changes in seconds without tools.
Figure 9: Frizzlife filters are designed to be larger for extended service life, contributing to an eco-friendly choice by reducing the frequency of replacements.
6.3 Post-Replacement Procedure
After replacing any filter, press the corresponding reset button on the LED display to reset the filter lifespan indicator. It is also recommended to flush the system for 5-10 minutes after filter replacement to ensure optimal performance and remove any air or loose carbon particles.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Frizzlife PD600-TAM3 system. For problems not listed here, please contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged filters, low incoming water pressure, air in the system. | Check filter lifespan indicators and replace if necessary. Ensure main water supply is fully open. Flush the system to remove air. Verify adequate incoming water pressure. |
| Water Leaks | Loose connections, improperly seated O-rings, damaged tubing. | Turn off water supply immediately. Inspect all connections and tighten them. Ensure O-rings are correctly seated. Replace any damaged tubing. |
| High TDS Reading | Worn-out RO membrane, incorrect filter installation, high incoming TDS. | Check RO membrane lifespan and replace if due. Ensure all filters are installed correctly. If incoming TDS is extremely high, the system may require more frequent RO membrane replacement. |
| Unusual Taste/Odor | Expired or saturated pre-filters (CP filter), new filter break-in period. | Replace the CP filter if its lifespan is depleted. Flush the system thoroughly after new filter installation to remove any residual taste from new carbon filters. |
| No Power/Display Off | Power outage, loose power connection, faulty adapter. | Check power outlet and ensure the adapter is securely plugged in. Test the outlet with another device. Contact support if the issue persists. |
