Product Overview
The iSpring RO400EU is an advanced under-sink reverse osmosis water filtration system designed to deliver clean, purified drinking water directly from your tap. Its tankless design saves space and provides a high flow rate.
Key Features
- High Capacity & Efficiency: Produces up to 400 Gallons Per Day (GPD) with a pure to drain ratio of 2:1, making it significantly more efficient than traditional RO systems. It can fill a 150ml glass of water in less than 8.5 seconds.
- Comprehensive Filtration: Utilizes a multi-stage filtration process, including a PCT 4-in-1 filter, to remove up to 99% of over 1000 harmful impurities such as chlorine, fluoride, lead (up to 98%), arsenic, asbestos, calcium, sodium, sediments, sand, and odors. Achieves up to 99% TDS reduction.
- Integrated Filter Life Indicator: Features an intuitive indicator that displays filter status. It remains blue during normal operation, flashes red when less than 5% filter life remains, and turns solid red when a filter requires replacement.
- Easy Installation & Maintenance: Designed for DIY installation with an all-in-one water line technology. The tankless design saves up to 70% of under-sink cabinet space. Filter replacement is simplified.

Operation
Once installed and the water supply is connected, the iSpring RO400EU system operates automatically.
Initial Startup and Flushing
- After installation, turn on the main water supply.
- Open the RO faucet and allow water to flow for at least 15-30 minutes to flush the system and new filters. This removes air and carbon fines.
- Close the faucet. The system is now ready for use.
Filter Life Indicator
The system features an indicator panel with lights for PCT and RO filters, and buttons for Powerup, Reset, and Rinse.
- Powerup: When the product is powered on and water supply is connected, all indicator lights will illuminate briefly.
- Filter Life Indication:
- Solid Blue: Filter life > 5% remaining.
- Flashing Red: Filter life ≤ 5% remaining.
- Solid Red: Filter needs replacement (0% life remaining).
- Reset: After replacing a filter, press the "Reset" button to select the filter that was replaced. The chosen filter indicator will flash. Press "Reset" again to confirm and reset the filter life counter.
- Rinse: Press the "Rinse" button for a 30-second manual flush. This can be used to flush the system after filter changes or if water quality concerns arise.

- RO Membrane Filter: Replace as indicated by the RO light. Replacement filter model: MRO400EU.
Replacement Procedure:
- Turn off the water supply to the RO system.
- Twist the old filter cartridge counter-clockwise to remove it.
- Insert the new filter cartridge and twist clockwise until secure.
- Turn on the water supply.
- Perform a manual flush using the "Rinse" button for 30 seconds.
