Product Overview

The Geekpure 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis system utilizes a multi-stage filtration process to deliver exceptionally pure water. Each stage plays a crucial role in removing different types of impurities, ensuring comprehensive purification.

5-Stage Filtration Process

1. 1st Stage: PP Sediment Filter
   Reduces silt, sand, dirt, and sediment particles.
2. 2nd Stage: Granular Carbon Filter
   Reduces chlorine, odors, and taste.
3. 3rd Stage: Carbon Block Filter
   Further reduces chlorine, odors, and taste, and removes other organic chemicals.
4. 4th Stage: RO Membrane (75 GPD)
   The core of the system, this semi-permeable membrane filters down to 0.0001 micron, effectively reducing arsenic, lead, fluoride, cadmium, heavy metals, and total dissolved solids (TDS).
5. 5th Stage: Post Carbon Filter
   Provides a final polish to the water, improving taste and odor before it reaches your faucet.

Quality and Certification

Key components, including the tubing, quick push fittings, storage tank, and RO membrane, are NSF certified, ensuring high standards of quality and safety.

Wastewater Ratio

The system operates with a wastewater ratio of approximately 1:2, meaning for every gallon of pure water produced, about two gallons of wastewater are used to flush contaminants from the membrane.

Operating Instructions

Initial System Flush

Before consuming water from the system, it is crucial to perform an initial flush to remove any carbon fines and sanitize the system:

1. Close the valve on top of the storage tank.
2. Open the RO faucet and let water flow until it stops (this flushes the pre-filters).
3. Close the RO faucet.
4. Open the valve on the storage tank. Allow the tank to fill completely (this may take 1-2 hours).
5. Once the tank is full, open the RO faucet and drain the tank completely. Discard this water.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 at least two more times. It is normal for some black carbon fines to appear in the water during the first few flushes.
7. After the third flush, the system is ready for use.

Daily Use

The system will automatically fill the storage tank as water is drawn from the faucet. The tank holds 2.8 gallons of purified water, ensuring a readily available supply. The system operates silently and requires no electrical power.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance, primarily filter replacement, is essential to ensure the continued high performance and longevity of your Geekpure RO system.

Filter Replacement Schedule

Refer to the filter diagram for estimated filter lifespans. Actual lifespan may vary based on water quality and usage.

• 1st, 2nd, 3rd Stage Filters (PP Sediment, Granular Carbon, Carbon Block): Replace every 6-12 months.
• 4th Stage (RO Membrane): Replace every 15-20 months.
• 5th Stage (Post Carbon Filter): Replace every 12-15 months.

Replacement filters are universally compatible and standard size, making them easy to source.

General Care

• Periodically check all connections for leaks.
• Keep the area around the system clean and dry.
• Ensure the storage tank is not subjected to extreme temperatures.
