1. psi LIMITED WARRANTY Bayside Aquarium Supply Inc warrants each new Reverse Osmosis amp Deionization system to the original owner only to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and conditions for a period of 90 days from the date of original purchase Bayside s liability under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing on Bayside s option without charge F O B Bayside Aquarium Supply s factory any product of Bayside s manufacture Bayside will not be liable for any cost of removal installation transportation or any other charges which may arise in warranty claim NOTE This warranty is void if the product is 1 Damaged through abnormal operating conditions accident abuse misuse unauthorized alteration or repair This includes but is not limited to failure to regularly replace carbon and sediment filters 2 Damaged by poor local tap water conditions 3 Damaged due to connection of equipment other than supplied by Bayside Aquarium Supply or modification by the user 4 Damaged by hot water freezing flood fire or acts of God This warranty is valid only in the U S and is non transferable No other warranties are expressed or implied and any other warranties required by law are limited in duration to 90 days This product is not warranted for any specific purpose Bayside Aquarium Supply will not be responsible for consequential damages arising from installation or use of the pr2. sure that the capillary flow restrictor is installed inside the tubing If the flow restrictor is clogged it will need to be replaced Please contact your local dealer and inform them of the exact model of your Captive Purity System Flow restrictors are different based on the gallons per day rating of your filter system Problem I m not getting the rate capacity out of the unit what could be wrong Solution Output capacity of your RO or RO DI unit can be affected by many variables Temperature of source water low water pressure clogged sediment or carbon cartridge and exhausted membranes are some variables that can affect your water output The production rates are rated at 65PSI and 70 F feed water temperature Booster pumps can be used to boost the line pressure and increase water output If the problem is caused by a filter cartridge or membrane it will need to be replaced Problem Too much product water little waste or resin exhausts quickly Solution This is usually the result of the TFC Membrane not seated properly or a ruptured membrane Open the TFC Housing and firmly push the membrane in place If the membrane is ruptured it will need to be replaced Problem Not enough product water lots of waste Solution Check the TDS high TDS can lower the output Check the Temperature of the feed water low water temperatures like 50 F 10 C will restrict the output to half Check the pressure the ideal water pressure should be 65
3. to be able to unscrew the cap Securely seat the TFC membrane in to the housing there should be about 34 of space from the lip of the housing to the top of the TFC membrane Once the TFC membrane is seated screw on the top and reconnect the tubing Reverse osmosis membranes are packed with an anti bacterial agent to keep them sterile prior to use This agent should be flushed away to avoid human or animal consumption Turn on the water once again and allow the unit to run for 30 minutes to flush out the anti bacterial agent After the system has been allowed to run for 30 minutes the water from the product water line can now be collected for use for a four stage RO DI unit you can now reinstall the DI cartridge and start collecting water for use Trapped air in the DI cartridge is a normal condition and will not affect the operation of the DI cartridge MEMBRANE amp FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE Sediment Cartridge change when visibly dirty 4 8 months Carbon Cartridge change at the same time the sediment filter is changed 4 8 months DI Cartridge For the Deluxe models the color of the DI resin will start to turn orange from the bottom up Replace the cartridge once it has reach to about 1 from the top of the cartridges For the Pro models use your TDS meter to determine when the cartridge should be changed You will notice a dramatic rise in the TDS level once the resin is exhausted Thin Film Composite TF

C Membrane should be changed every 2 3 years or when TDS reading is above 30 40 us The use of a flush valve kit is recommended to help extend the life of the TFC membrane All listed service times are approximate Actual service life may be longer or shorter depending on the water source quality and how often the unit is used STORAGE When the unit is not in use it is important to keep the TFC membrane hydrated The TFC membrane must not be allowed to dry out Keep the unit in a cool location and keep all inlet and outlet lines above the unit so the water will remain in the 3 unit If the RO or RO DI system will not be used for more than 4 weeks remove the TFC membrane and store it ina refrigerator inside a Ziploc bag filled with a small amount of purified water Do not allow the RO or RO DI unit to be exposed to freezing conditions or temperatures above 100 F TROUBLESHOOTING Your new Captive Purity RO or RO DI filter should work trouble free out of the box If you have difficulties or questions please contact your local Captive Purity Retailer NOTE The water supply should be turned off and the water pressure should be bled off prior to working on the filter system itself Following are some common problems and their solutions Problem The filter system does not produce any product water Solution A missing clogged or defective flow restrictor is most likely the cause of this problem Check the waste water line to make
