Comprehensive Home Water Filtration System Installation Guide

Step 1: Filtered water will go through a 5-micron PP filter, removing algae, dirt, and sand. This filter eliminates sediment and protects the filters downstream from clogging.

Step 2: OCB-GAC (Activated Carbon Block) filter: Water passing through this filter will have Chlorine, residual organic matter, and gases causing odor removed. If your tap water contains limestone, this filter is replaced with a Cation filter.

Step 3: A 1-micron PP filter removes suspended solids larger than 1 micron in the water. If you used a limestone filter in step 2, this one is replaced with a Carbon Block filter that removes organic matter and suspended solids.

Step 4: A RO filter with TFC (Thin Film Composite) material has extremely small pores of 0.0001 micrometers. It’s considered the heart of the RO filter system and removes 99.99% of viruses, bacteria, amoebas, arsenic, heavy metal ions, and impurities invisible to the naked eye. This RO membrane leaves you with pure and clean water.

Step 5: The T33-GAC filter contains activated carbon, eliminating any chlorine aftertaste.

Step 6: Nano Silver, placed at the end of the RO filter system, prevents recontamination as water flows through the system’s joints. It also neutralizes acids and balances pH, resulting in tastier water.

Step 7: Beneficial minerals are added back into the water with the Mineral Stone filter, making it both refreshing and mineral-rich.

Step 1: Disconnect the water supply under the sink or at the water connection point and turn off the water.

Step 2: Unwrap filters 1, 2, and 3 and place them in their respective filter housings. Then, firmly tighten filter housings 2 and 3, but leave housing 1 slightly loose to avoid air buildup.

Step 3: Connect the RO pipe to the inlet of filter housing 1. Make sure the connectors are wrapped with thread seal tape and tightened securely to optimize the connection between the RO pipe and the connector.

Step 4: At the outlet of filter housing 3, disconnect the RO pipe and connect it directly to the drain. This step prepares for flushing filters 1, 2, and 3.

Step 5: Plug the RO system into a power outlet and open the water valve to start flushing and removing preservatives from filters 1, 2, and 3. This process takes about 20 minutes.

Step 6: If water overflows from filter housing 1 during flushing, tighten it further. Avoid overtightening; leave 1-2 threads loose. Overtightening can lead to air buildup and prevent the system from filtering water.

Step 7: After flushing filters 1, 2, and 3 for about 20 minutes, unplug the system and reconnect the RO pipe from the RO membrane inlet to the inlet of filter housing 3 (as it was initially)

Step 8: Wear gloves and remove the plastic bag from the RO membrane. Steps 8, 9, and 10 should be done with gloves to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination of the membrane.

Step 9: Soak the RO membrane in pure water (bottled distilled water is recommended) so that the water penetrates the membrane’s structure and helps it expand, ensuring maximum filtration efficiency.

Step 10: Insert and firmly press the RO membrane into the membrane housing, with the black gasket side facing inward.

Step 11: Close and tighten the RO membrane housing cap. Use pliers to ensure a tight seal and prevent leakage.

Step 12: Connect the small RO pipe from the Flow valve to the household drain.

Step 13: Flush the RO membrane. At the outlet of the RO membrane (the blue pipe connection), remove the blue pipe and connect a small RO pipe (the external one) to the household drain.

Step 14: Plug in the system to start flushing the preservatives for about 20 minutes.

Step 15: After flushing the RO membrane, reconnect the pipes to the RO membrane housing as they were initially set up. Connect the purified water outlet pipe to the pressure tank.

Step 16: From the pressure tank, connect to the inlet of filter 5. Filters 5 and 6 are already connected.

3. Notes on Installing and Using an RO Water Filter

Input water source	Input water quality meets QCVN 02:2009/BYT standards.
The water supply for the RO system must have a temperature between 5-50°C. Water temperature outside this range can damage the system.
RO system installation location	Choose an installation location with convenient access to water and drainage.
To ensure proper system operation, the water column height to the RO system should be greater than 2m.
Place the water filter on a flat surface in a vertical position.
Bypass the low-pressure valve	If the input water pressure is too low, the RO system will not operate. In this case, bypass the low-pressure valve by pressing the switch to activate the RO filter system.
Maintain a constant water supply to the system when bypassing the low-pressure valve.
Usage and maintenance	The main components of the RO system are made of plastic. Handle with care during use and avoid placing heavy objects on the system or exposing it to fire.
Check regularly to ensure the system is intact for safe use.
Flush the RO membrane	Open the RO manual flush valve daily to flush the RO membrane. This helps remove dirt and impurities, increasing the membrane’s lifespan, and improving the quality of purified water.
Flush the RO manual valve for about 1 minute.
First-time use of the RO system	Discard the first 1-2 tanks of water in the pressure tank when using the RO system for the first time.
When the RO system starts operating, the ppm (TDS) in the purified water will be slightly higher, but it will stabilize after some time.
When using the RO system for the first time or after a power failure, collect water or discard the first few liters of purified water to ensure the tank is full.
Do not disassemble or modify the installation diagram	The RO system installation diagram is optimized by the manufacturer. Any changes, however minor, can affect the system’s operation and compromise water quality.
Note for NEO AMBIENT – HOT models	The water filter must be grounded when in use. Hot water models have high power consumption, so use a dedicated power outlet and avoid using it with other electrical appliances. Hot water models can cause burns, so keep them out of reach of children. Place containers close to the faucet to avoid hot water splashing. Do not touch the faucet when dispensing hot water.
