Installation

The Aquasure Premier RO system is designed for under-sink installation. While the system features a user-friendly design, professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with basic plumbing tasks. Refer to the detailed installation guide provided in the package for step-by-step instructions.

General Steps:

1. Turn off the cold water supply to your sink.
2. Install the feed water adapter to the cold water line.
3. Install the drain saddle valve to the drain pipe.
4. Drill a hole for the faucet on your sink or countertop (if not pre-drilled).
5. Place the RO system and storage tank in the desired location under the sink.
6. Connect the color-coded tubing from the system to the faucet, storage tank, feed water adapter, and drain saddle valve as per the diagram.
7. Ensure all quick-connect fittings are properly seated and secure.
8. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
9. Flush the system according to the instructions before first use.

Operation

The Aquasure Premier RO system operates by pushing tap water through a series of filters to remove impurities. The purified water is then stored in the pressurized tank, ready for dispensing through the dedicated faucet.

How the Filtration Works:

• Stage 1 (Sediment Filter AF-PR1): Removes larger particles like dirt, rust, and sand, protecting subsequent filters.
• Stage 2 (Carbon Filter AF-PR2): Filters out chlorine, VOCs, chemicals, and other contaminants that affect taste and odor.
• Stage 3 (RO Membrane AF-MEM75): The core of the system, this semi-permeable membrane removes up to 99.99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic impurities.
• Stage 4 (Post-Carbon Filter AF-PR4): Provides a final polish to the water, removing any residual tastes or odors, ensuring the purest and freshest water.

Maintenance

Filter Replacement:

The Aquasure Premier RO system features a quick-twist design for easy filter replacement, requiring no tools. Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining optimal water quality and system performance.

1. Step 1: Turn off the water supply to your RO system.
2. Step 2: Remove the old filter by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Step 3: Install the new filter by inserting it and turning it clockwise to lock it in place.
4. After replacing filters, turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Flush the system as per the detailed manual instructions.

Troubleshooting

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Aquasure Premier RO system. For problems not listed here, please contact customer support.

• No Water Flow or Very Slow Flow:
  • Check if the water supply valve to the system is fully open.
  • Ensure the tank ball valve is open.
  • Verify that the leak protection system (Flowlok) has not been activated. Reset if necessary after checking for leaks.
  • Inspect filters for clogging. Replace sediment and carbon filters if they are past their recommended lifespan or appear discolored.
  • The RO membrane might be clogged. Replace if necessary (typically every 18-24 months).
  • Check for kinks in the tubing.
• Water Has Bad Taste or Odor:
  • This usually indicates exhausted carbon filters (Stage 2 and Stage 4). Replace them.
  • Ensure the system was properly flushed after installation or filter replacement.
  • If the system has been idle for an extended period, flush the tank completely.
• Leaking from Connections:
  • Turn off the water supply immediately.
  • Check all quick-connect fittings to ensure tubing is fully inserted and secure.
  • Inspect O-rings and seals for damage.
  • Ensure filters are properly twisted and locked into place.
• Low Water Pressure from Faucet:
  • Check the pressure in the storage tank. It may need to be recharged or replaced if it's not holding pressure.
  • Filters may be clogged, restricting flow. Replace as needed.
  • Ensure the tank ball valve is fully open.
