De lonization DI filter regularly You can find each filters capacity on the inside cover The green carbon filter need to be change at least every 2 000 gallons of purified water produced Going past the carbon filter s useful life will allow chlorine to contact the membrane and will degrade the membrane s life rapidly The sediment filter should be changed at least every time the green carbon filter is changed or more often if source water has higher levels of sediment and dirt Dirt can become imbedded in the sediment filter and cause water production to slow down The de ionization filter has a special blend of DI resins that polish the reverse osmosis purified water and remove any last trace of Total Dissolved Solids Once the resin is saturated it will turn color from a dark blue to a light brown When this happens it is time to change the DI cartridge Refer to table on inside front cover for more info Use the large end of the included filter wrench to loosen the clear filter housings to change the pre filters and the DI cartridge Be careful not to over tighten housing after replacing the filters Hand tightening is all w _ thatis needed in most cases The Reverse Osmosis membranes have a useful life of 6 months to 2 years depending on how high your source water s PPM s are and how much water you produce If your water is highly contaminated then you may need to change the membranes more often If your water is re

6. ation unit is equipped with a fitting that acts as both a flow restrictor and a flush valve The Triton RO DI100 comes with a 500 ml m valve and the Triton RO DI200 comes with a 1000 ml m valve The valves come installed from the factory in the closed position The closed position allows the valve d n ne 2 p Closed to operate as a flow restrictor which is the ri ose normal operating position When you want to flush the membrane you have to turn the valve so it is inline with Flush the fitting While in the flush position the valve is designed to clean any accumulated debris off the membrane by allowing the incoming water to go full flow through the waste line The flush position flushes debris from the input side of the membrane to help maintain normal flow rates By unclogging the input side the necessity to replace the membrane due to loss of water flow will be drastically prolonged The RO membrane is a semi permeable membrane and as such can clog just like any other filtration membrane Removing debris lowers the rate or prevents altogether the lodging of debris in the membrane prolonging its lifespan We recommend you flush the membrane for 5 10 minutes after every 3 5 uses If you really want to extend the life of the membrane even further then flush after every use 5 Filter Changes Maintenance Pre Filter and De lonization Cartridge Replacement It is essential that you change your pre filters and
