4. Installation and Filter Replacement

This section details the process for replacing the RO membrane filter in your Naturewater NW-1000 Pro mobile reverse osmosis system.

1. Prepare the System: Turn off the power to your NW-1000 Pro system and close the water inlet valve to stop the water supply.
2. Access Filter Compartment: Open the filter compartment cover on your NW-1000 Pro system. You will see labeled slots for different filters, typically including PAC, RO, and CF.
3. Remove Old RO Filter: Locate the filter labeled "RO" (Reverse Osmosis). Gently twist the old RO filter counter-clockwise to unlock it, then pull it out from its housing. Be prepared for some residual water to drain.
4. Insert New RO Filter: Remove the new Naturewater NW-1000 Pro RO Replacement Filter from its packaging. Align the new filter with the "RO" slot in the system. Push it in firmly and then twist clockwise to lock it into place. Ensure it is securely seated.
5. Close Compartment: Close the filter compartment cover.
6. Restore Water and Power: Slowly open the water inlet valve to restore water supply to the system. Plug in and turn on the power to your NW-1000 Pro system.
7. Flush the System: It is crucial to flush the new filter. Refer to your NW-1000 Pro system's main manual for specific flushing instructions. Typically, this involves running water through the system for a few minutes to remove any air and carbon fines.

5. Operating Principles

The Naturewater NW-1000 Pro RO Replacement Filter utilizes reverse osmosis technology to purify water. This process involves forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane with extremely small pores, measuring 0.0001 µm (micrometers).

This fine filtration effectively removes dissolved solids, sediments, and a wide range of contaminants, including:

• Medicine residues
• Heavy metals
• Chlorine and its byproducts
• Bacteria and viruses
• Pesticides and herbicides

The result is highly purified water with significantly reduced Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), improving taste and safety.

6. Maintenance

The RO membrane filter has a finite lifespan and its effectiveness decreases over time as contaminants accumulate. Regular replacement is crucial for maintaining optimal water quality and system performance.

• Replacement Schedule: Refer to your Naturewater NW-1000 Pro system's main manual for the recommended RO membrane replacement schedule. This typically depends on water usage and incoming water quality, but generally ranges from 12 to 24 months.
• Indicators for Replacement: Signs that your RO membrane may need replacement include a noticeable decrease in water flow, a decline in water taste or odor, or an increase in the TDS level of the purified water.
• Procedure: Follow the steps outlined in the "Installation and Filter Replacement" section (Section 4) to replace the RO membrane filter.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Naturewater NW-1000 Pro system after replacing the RO filter, consider the following:

• Low Water Flow: Ensure the new filter is correctly seated and locked. Check for any kinks in the water lines. If the issue persists, the pre-filters (PAC, CF) might also need replacement.
• Poor Water Taste/Odor: Ensure the system was properly flushed after installation. If the taste or odor persists, other filters in the system (PAC, CF) may need to be replaced.
• Leaking: Verify that all connections are tight and the filter is correctly installed and locked. Check O-rings for proper seating.

For more detailed troubleshooting, consult the complete user manual for your Naturewater NW-1000 Pro mobile reverse osmosis system or contact customer support.
