For detailed installation instructions, it is highly recommended to consult the official installation videos provided by NU Aqua. Pay close attention to all connections to ensure no leaks occur after setup. The large tank may take approximately two hours to fill initially.
The included Ice Maker & Fridge Connection Kit provides 16FT of 1/4” white tubing, a 1/4” x 1/4” x 1/4” T valve, a 1/4” x 1/4” Inline shut off valve, and a compression fitting set for connecting your RO system to ice makers, water coolers, dispensers, humidifiers, and refrigerators.
Operating Principles: 7-Stage Filtration
The NU Aqua system employs a sophisticated 7-stage filtration process to deliver exceptionally pure water:

- Sediment Filter: Removes larger particles like rust, sand, and dirt.
- Carbon GAC Filter: Reduces chlorine, odors, and tastes.
- Carbon Block Filter: Further removes chlorine, organic chemicals, and improves water clarity.
- RO Membrane: The core of the system, utilizing HydraCoil technology for up to 50% cleaner water, rejecting up to 99% of 1000+ pollutants including arsenic, fluoride, and lead.
- Carbon Post Filter: Polishes the water for final taste and odor removal.
- Alkaline Remineralization Filter: Adds beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium, boosts antioxidants, increases alkalinity, and enhances water oxygen levels.
- UV Sterilization: The UV-C sterilization stage is designed to remove 99.9% of microorganisms, effectively disinfecting your water to the highest standards with a high output, long-lasting UV bulb and a bonus flow sensor to prevent warm water and extend bulb life.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance, primarily filter replacement, is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your NU Aqua system. High-quality filters not only improve water quality but also protect the system's components.

Refer to the filter replacement schedule in your quick start guide or on the NU Aqua website for specific intervals. Always use genuine NU Aqua replacement filters to ensure continued performance and warranty validity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your NU Aqua Reverse Osmosis system, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Low Water Flow: Check the water supply valve to ensure it is fully open. Verify that the storage tank valve is open. Filters may be clogged and require replacement.
- Leaking Connections: Turn off the water supply immediately. Inspect all connections and tubing for proper seating and tightness. Ensure O-rings are correctly positioned and not damaged.
- Unusual Taste or Odor: This often indicates that carbon filters need replacement. Ensure the system has been flushed properly after initial installation or filter changes.
- No Water Production: Check the water supply, tank pressure, and ensure all valves are open. The RO membrane might be clogged or damaged.
For more complex issues or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact NU Aqua customer support.
