tubing
Product Usage Instructions:
Connecting the RO/Permeate & Drain Tubing:
1. Connect the white tubing to the auto shutoff valve (ASV) for
RO product or permeate water. Connect the other end to a storage
tank or reservoir, ensuring the tubing length does not exceed 20′.
If needed, upsize the tubing for longer lengths.
2. Connect the black tubing to the flow restrictor for drain
water. Connect the other end to the included drain clamp, ensuring
the tubing length does not exceed 20′. If needed, upsize the tubing
for longer lengths.
3. Mount the drain clamp to an available drain pipe or simple
drain using the included 1/4 drain clamp.
Flushing the Carbon Filter:
1. Always flush the pre-filters (sediment & carbon)
thoroughly before connecting to the membrane element.
2. Flush KDF carbon filters upon initial use and every time the
RO system is moved to prevent premature failure of the membrane
element.
Connecting the Inlet Water Supply:
1. Use 3/4″ or 1″ CTS tubing for the inlet water supply. Connect
a garden hose to the supplied hose union, ensuring the inner
diameter is between 3/4″ and 1″ and total length does not exceed
20′.
2. Point the tubing down into a bucket or drain, slowly turn on
the incoming water supply, and flush KDF carbon filters for at
least 10 gallons.
3. After flushing, turn off incoming water supply and connect
the tubing to the membrane input securely.
Quick Connect Fittings:
Inserting Tube into Fitting: Push the tubing
through the collet and dual o-rings until it bottoms out against
the tube stop for a leak-resistant seal.
Tube Removal: Relieve pressure from the tubing
and fitting, then push uniformly around the collet flange while
pulling the tubing away from the fitting to release it.
Congratulations:
1. Turn on incoming water pressure slowly to purge all air from
the system.
2. When air bubbles stop appearing in RO or drain tubing, air is
purged.
3. Allow membrane to flush for at least 30 minutes before
use.
FAQ:
Q: How often should I flush the carbon
filter?
A: The KDF carbon filter should be flushed upon
initial use and every time the RO system is moved to avoid
premature failure of the membrane element.

QUICK START GUIDE FOR EX-100/200
CONNECT THE RO/PERMEATE & DRAIN TUBING
2
Connect the white tubing to the
auto shutoff valve (ASV)–this
is the RO product or permeate
water. Connect the other end to
a storage tank or reservoir. Make sure tubing length does
pure water
not exceed 20′, otherwse
added back pressure will
increase the system ratio.
If longer length is needed,
the tubing should be upsized.
Connect the black tubing to
3
the flow restrictor–this is the drain water. Connect other
end of drain tubing
to included drain clamp. Make sure tubing length does not exceed 20′, otherwse
drain water
added back pressure will
decrease the system ratio.
If longer length is needed,
the tubing should be upsized.
4
A 1/4″ drain clamp is included with the system. Mount the drain clamp to an available drain pipe or simple drain.
FLUSHING THE CARBON FILTER
6
It is essential to always flush the pre-filters
(sediment & carbon) thouroughly
before connecting to the membrane
element.
KDF carbon filters, especially, need to be flushed upon initial use– and every time the RO system is moved.
Carbon fines can cause premature failure of the membrane element. The only way to avoid this is through flushing the carbon filter.

CONNECT THE INLET WATER SUPPLY

3/4″ and 1″ CTS tubing can be used as well.
This example shows 3/4″ garden hose
connected to the supplied hose union.
If using a garden hose make sure the inner dimater of the hose is between 3/4″ and 1″, and the total length of the hose does not exceed 20′. Otherwise too much pressure drop will occur and the system will not perofrm correctly.
Point this tubing down into a bucket or drain, and slowly turn on the incoming water supply. Carbon dust will start pouring out. Flush KDF carbon filters for at least 10 gallons.
After the carbon is flushed, turn off incoming water supply, and connect the tubing to the membrane input, making sure tubing is properly seated.
QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS
INSERT TUBE INTO FITTING Push the tubing through the collet and dual o-rings until it bottoms out against the tube stop. The collet holds the tube in place and the dual o-rings provide a leak resistant seal.
TUBE REMOVAL Relieve pressure from the tubing and fitting. Push uniformly around the collet flange against the fitting body while pulling the tubing away from the fitting to release it.

7 CONGRATULATIONS You have connected your Growonix product. Please follow the instructions below to get started
A) Turn on incoming water pressure slowly, allowing all the air to purge from the system. B) When air bubbles cease to be seen in either the RO (white) or drain (black) tubing, the air is purged. C) Allow membrane to flush for at least 30 minutes prior to use.
