FRIZZLIFE Compact 3-Stage RO Aquarium Water Filter System

Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the FRIZZLIFE Compact 3-Stage Reverse Osmosis (RO) Aquarium Water Filter System, Model FAF50. Designed for aquariums with tropical fish, discus, and marine life, this system ensures high-purity water by effectively removing contaminants. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure proper use and maintenance.

Product Overview and Filtration Stages

The FRIZZLIFE FAF50 system utilizes a 3-stage filtration process to deliver purified water:

• Stage 1: Sediment Filter (10 Micron)
  This high-precision polypropylene filter removes larger particles such as sand, dirt, debris, and rust from the water. Regular replacement is crucial for system efficiency.
• Stage 2: Activated Carbon Block Filter (5 Micron)
  A premium activated carbon block effectively reduces 99% of chlorine, cysts, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), bad taste, and odors. This stage protects the delicate RO membrane.
• Stage 3: Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane (0.0001 Micron)
  The core of the system, this membrane removes over 99.99% of harmful contaminants, including arsenic, lead, cysts, copper, fluoride, and significantly reduces Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).

This diagram visually explains how the system's three filters work sequentially to purify water, from removing large particles to microscopic contaminants.

Operating Instructions

The FRIZZLIFE FAF50 system is designed for convenient on-demand RO water production:

• Water Production: To produce RO water, simply connect the system to your faucet and open the water supply. The system will begin filtering water.
• Capacity: With a capacity of 50 GPD (Gallons Per Day), which is approximately 187 liters, the system can produce sufficient RO water for daily aquarium needs.
• T-Diverter Functionality: The included T-diverter allows you to use your regular faucet for tap water while simultaneously operating the RO system for purified water.
• Monitoring: While the system operates, it produces both pure water and a small amount of waste water. This is normal for reverse osmosis systems.
