IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

⚠ WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of property damage or personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■Check with your state and local public works department for plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow these guidelines as you install the Reverse Osmosis system. Using a qualified installer is recommended.
■If house water pressure is over the maximum (120 pounds per square inch), install a pressure reducing valve in the water supply line to the Reverse Osmosis system.
■ Be sure the water supply conforms with the Specification Guidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown, contact your municipal water company or your local health department for a list of contaminants in your area and a list of laboratories certified by your state to analyze drinking water.

A WARNING: Before using the Reverse Osmosis system for the first time, the system must be purged. The Reverse Osmosis cartridge contains a food grade preservative that must be purged from the system. The preservative will give product water an unpleasant taste and odor.

A water an implesant taste and odor. WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality

without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate) at concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for further information.

This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

This Reverse Osmosis system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

■Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type of weather. Water freezing in the system will damage it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100^ F.
■ Do not install on HOT WATER. The temperature of the water supply to the Reverse Osmosis system must be between the minimum of 40^ F and the maximum of 100^ F. See the Specification Guidelines.
■Extended non-use of the Reverse Osmosis system. If the system has not been used for one week or more, open the RO water faucet and allow the system to drain. Close the RO water faucet and allow the system to regenerate the water supply.
■Recommended installation is under the sink. However, the unit can be installed in a remote location, up to 20 feet away from the sink.

• However, additional materials will be required, including additional tubing and extension phone cable. This extension phone cable must be 6 conductor wire and connectors; typical 4 conductor wire will not work. See parts list to obtain additional materials from GE.
• Locating the tank on a basement floor, with the faucet at a first floor sink may result in some loss of flow rate and capacity (approximately 20% ).

Installing a second tank will improve this performance. An RVKIT can be used.

■If Reverse Osmosis system is connected to a refrigerator icemaker, a special icemaker connection kit is required (RVKIT). Do not use copper tubing for the connection between the Reverse Osmosis system and the refrigerator.

⚠️WARNING: Discard all unused parts and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after the installation could be a choke hazard.

■ Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis system and after servicing inner parts, including replacement of prefilter, postfilter and Reverse Osmosis cartridge. It is important to have clean hands while handling inner parts of the system. See the Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System section.
This Reverse Osmosis system contains a replaceable treatment component critical for effective reduction of total dissolved solids. This product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing satisfactorily. See the About the Water Test Kit section.

BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL CODES.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the reverse osmosis system.

How the Reverse Osmosis System Works

Reverse Osmosis reduces Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and organic matter from water by diffusing it through a special membrane. The membrane separates minerals and impurities from the water and they are flushed to the drain. For the reduction of the claims specified, see Performance Data Sheet. High quality product water goes directly to the drinking water faucet or to the storage tank. The system makes a good supply of drinking water each day. How much it makes depends on the feed water supply pressure, temperature and quality.

The prefilter and postfilter are replaceable cartridges. The carbon prefilter reduces chlorine while also filtering sediments. The postfilter reduces any other undesirable tastes and odors before you use the water.

These systems include an electronic faucet assembly with a prefilter and postfilter change reminder, Reverse Osmosis membrane change reminder and a status okay reminder.

The prefilter and postfilter change reminder will flash amber after six months have passed or 900 gallons have been used. When this occurs, it is time to replace these cartridges and sanitize the system.

The membrane change reminder flashes amber when the TDS monitor in the system has measured the amount of impurities removed is less than 75%. When this occurs, it is time to replace this Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge and sanitize the system.

Finally, a green flashing light will indicate the system is functioning properly.

Description of the Reverse Osmosis System

7 Prefilter—Water from the cold supply pipe is directed to the prefilter cartridge. The prefilter is a replaceable sediment cartridge containing activated carbon. The prefilter reduces chlorine in the feed water because CHLORINE DESTROYS THE REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE. Filtered, clean, chlorine-reduced water flows from the prefilter to the Reverse Osmosis cartridge.

2 Reverse Osmosis Cartridge—The middle cartridge includes a tightly wound, special membrane. Water is forced through the cartridge where the membrane reduces the dissolved solids and organic matter. For the reduction of the claims specified, see Performance Data Sheet. High quality product water exits the Reverse Osmosis cartridge and goes to the storage tank. Reject water, with the dissolved solids and organic matter, leaves the cartridge and is discharged to the drain through 1/4" tubing.

3 Postfilter—After leaving the storage area, but before going to the system faucet, product water goes to the postfilter cartridge. The postfilter is also a replaceable sediment cartridge that contains activated carbon. Any remaining tastes, odors or sediments are reduced from product water by the postfilter. Clean, high quality drinking water flows through the tubing and to the system faucet.

4 Storage Tank—The storage area holds up to 2-1/2 gallons of product water. A diaphragm inside the tank keeps water pressurized, when the tank is full, for fast flow to the faucet when drinking water is needed.

Diagram of an open battery pack with internal components and three cylindrical batteries, showing wiring connections (no text or labels)

5 Check Valve—The check valve prevents a backward flow of product water from the storage tank. A backward flow could cause the Reverse Osmosis membrane to rupture.
6 Automatic Shutoff Assembly—To conserve water, the drinking water system has an automatic shutoff. When the storage tank has filled to capacity and the drinking water faucet is closed, pressure closes the shutoff. Water flow to the Reverse Osmosis housing is shut off until drinking water is used again, and pressure drops in the Reverse Osmosis system.
7 Flow Control—The flow control regulates the flow of water through the Reverse Osmosis cartridge at the required rate to produce high quality water. The control is located in the 1/4" drain line exiting off the manifold.
8 Faucet and Electronics—The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened. It has a hand-operated lever, with variable flow adjustment. You can keep the faucet open by removing your hand from the lever once water is flowing. To comply with plumbing codes, an air gap is built into the faucet drain water connection.

The electronic faucet provides a six month timer and flow monitor to remind you when it is time to replace your prefilter and postfilter. Replace these when the amber filter light flashes. The faucet also provides an amber RO light indicating when the Reverse Osmosis cartridge is no longer filtering out at least 75% of the TDS. Replace this cartridge when this amber light flashes. The green flashing light will indicate the system is functioning properly.

3. Slide tray into faucet base (C) until the battery tray (A) edge is flush with the side of the base.

4. Each light will illuminate in sequence twice. At the end, the OK (green) light or filter (yellow) light may stay on for a few extra seconds. If you want to reinitiate the start-up sequence, remove the battery for 90 seconds; the electronics need to fully discharge. Then put the battery back in.

5. The OK (green) light will normally flash one time per second when dispensing water. The filter or RO (amber) lights will flash one time per second when dispensing water if the system needs service. If the system needs service, they will also flash randomly when the system is not in use.

For lights to change between OK and RO, the system must detect a change in the filtering process for 25 consecutive seconds. For example, if the system was not filtering correctly, the RO light would be flashing. When the problem is corrected and the system is filtering correctly, the electronics will wait for 25 seconds to confirm the changes before changing to an OK light.

(D) Green or amber lights (B) Battery - + (A) Battery tray (C) Faucet base

FOR FILTER CHANGE: Replace battery when changing filter. Remove used battery and wait at least 90 seconds before installing new battery. This will ensure full electronic reset and proper operation for the next 6 months.

FILTRATION DRAIN CONNECTION

Check and comply with local plumbing codes as you plan.

CAUTION: The options detailed below are the ONLY approved installation configurations. Do not use any drain saddle device.

NOTE: Failure to follow these Installation Instructions will void the warranty, and the installer will be responsible for any service, repair or damages caused thereby.

PREFERRED INSTALLATION: OPTION A—BASEMENT ACCESS INSTALLATION

Route the drain line DIRECTLY from the Reverse Osmosis system to a standpipe in the basement, bypassing the air gap provided in the faucet. The air gap installation is left to the discretion of the installer. The drain line may also be routed to a floor drain or washtub, provided that the air gap is maintained. Special air gap fittings are available to connect the drain line to the top of the standpipe.

Drain line from the Reverse Osmosis system

1" minimum air gap must be maintained

PREFERRED INSTALLATION: OPTION B—DRY-VENTED P-TRAP INSTALLATION

Install a separate dry-vented p-trap under the sink to be used exclusively for the Reserve Osmosis drain line. A dry-vented p-trap is a p-trap that has its own vent/stack. Attach the drain line adapter to the p-trap and secure it with the slip joint nut and washer as shown. The drain line MUST be routed through the air gap provided in the RO water faucet.

Reverse Osmosis drain line Optional disposer

Install a p-trap under the sink to be used exclusively for the Reverse Osmosis drain line. A wet-vented p-trap is a p-trap that shares a common vent/stack. Attach the drain line adapter to the p-trap and secure it with the slip joint nut and washer as shown. The drain line MUST be routed through the air gap provided in the RO water faucet. Locate the Reverse Osmosis p-trap as high as possible (minimum of 4" above horizontal).

4" minimum Reverse Osmosis drain line 1" Optional disposer

SECONDARY INSTALLATION: OPTION D—DRAIN LINE ADAPTER INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Using Option D may result in clogging under adverse conditions and requires periodic inspection/cleaning by the user.

DO NOT INSTALL THE DRAIN LINE DOWNSTREAM OF A DISPOSER OR IN A HORIZONTAL PIPE. Install the drain line adapter under the sink as shown (parts included). The baffle tee shown must be installed to prevent a clog in the Reverse Osmosis drain line. Route the drain line from the air gap to the drain line adapter, ensuring that there are no dips, loops or low spots in the line. The drain line adapter should be aligned vertically so that the hose connection points upward (the hose connection should never be allowed to drop below 45° from this vertical position). This installation MAY result in a slight drain noise in the sink drain when the Reverse Osmosis system is regenerating. If this happens, simply place the sink drain stoppers in the strainer to suppress it.

Maximum 45° Baffle tee (mandatory) Reverse Osmosis drain line Drain line adapter Optional disposer From faucet air gap Drain line adapter From second sink or disposer Drain line connection should be 180° opposite existing horizontal pipe/baffle-tee as shown in diagram

Proper drain line adapter orientation.

45° Drain line adapter

STORAGE TANK AND STARTUP

STORAGE TANK INSTALLATION

1. Remove the protective cap from the top of the tank.

2. Apply 2–3 wraps of thread tape, in a clockwise direction, to the tank threads.

1. Install the push-to-connect fittings on the threaded fitting on the tank as shown.

Storage tank

1. Push the 3/8" red banded tubing from the Reverse Osmosis System into the fitting on the storage tank.

SYSTEM STARTUP PROCEDURE

A CAUTION: If installing the unit in new construction, ensure that house plumbing is flushed thoroughly before opening the water supply valve.

1. Check that all tubing connections are secure.
2. Turn on the Feed Water Supply Valve.
3. Check all connection points for leaks.
4. Follow the Sanitization procedures on page 19.
5. After sanitization is complete, reinstall prefilter, postfilter and Reverse Osmosis cartridges.
6. Membrane contains a food grade preservative. Allow the system to fill the tank, then drain it completely four times before using the water from the system.
7. Recheck all water connection points a few days later to check for small leaks.

Care and cleaning of the reverse osmosis system.

Prefilter, Postfilter and Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cartridge Replacement Procedure

When the amber filter light in the faucet base flashes, it is time to replace the prefilter and postfilter. This will occur every 6 months.

Be sure to wash your hands before handling inner parts of the system.

1. Turn OFF the icemaker (if attached to the system).

Line drawing of a mechanical device with ports and connectors (no text or symbols)

1. Turn off water supply to the system.

OFF ON

1. Turn ON faucet to drain tank (may take several minutes). Turn OFF faucet when tank is empty.

2. Remove the prefilter, postfilter and Reverse Osmosis cartridge by rotating to the left about 1/3 turn.

Prefilter Postfilter Reverse Osmosis To remove

1. Follow Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System procedure found on page 19.

2. Remove foil on top of new replacement cartridges. Install new cartridges into the manifold by turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the alignment marks line up and the cartridges stop. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. The cartridges will rise up as they are turned.

NOTE: The prefilter and postfilter are identical. You may install either filter in the prefilter or postfilter position. The reverse osmosis cartridge is installed in the center position.

1. Turn ON water supply to fill the system (may take up to four hours). Check for leaks.

2. Remove the battery tray and replace the battery, positive "+" side down, to reset timer and monitor function in faucet base (see Battery Installation for proper procedure).

NOTE: Allow at least 90 seconds to elapse before installing new battery. This will ensure a full electronic reset and proper operation for the next 6 months.

1. If only the prefilter and postfilter are replaced, turn the faucet ON and empty the filled storage tank. If the membrane cartridge is replaced, fill and empty the storage tank a total of four times. (This will remove the food grade preservatives contained in new membranes. This preservative will give product water an unpleasant taste and odor.)

2. Once the storage tank is full, turn on the icemaker.

Line drawing of a mechanical device with ports and wiring (no text or symbols)

NOTE: System should be sanitized when replacing the prefilter and postfilter cartridge or the Reverse Osmosis cartridge. Follow the Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System procedure on page 19.

Sanitizing the Reverse Osmosis System

Sanitize upon installation of the Reverse Osmosis system and after servicing inner parts, including replacement of prefilter, postfilter and the membrane cartridge.

Be sure to wash your hands before handling inner parts of the system.

⚠️ CAUTION: Before sanitizing, be sure to remove all cartridges. Chlorine will destroy the Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge.

1. Follow steps 1 through 4 under Prefilter, Postfilter and Reverse Osmosis Membrane Cartridge Replacement Procedure.
2. Fill the empty canister labeled "Sanitization Canister" with water to within 1 inch of the upper opening. Add 1 oz. (2 Tbsp.) ordinary household bleach. Install canister into the prefilter canister position by turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the alignment marks line up and the canister stops.

Prefilter position

1. Install the two additional "sanitization canisters" into the membrane canister and postfilter openings in the manifold by turning to the right about 1/3 turn until the alignment marks line up and the canister stops.

Sanitization canisters

1. Turn ON water supply. Turn ON faucet until water begins to flow from the faucet, then turn faucet OFF. Allow system to fill for 10 minutes.
2. Turn faucet ON and allow water to flow for 20 minutes, or until bleach odor is gone. Turn OFF water supply again. Turn ON faucet to drain the system.
3. Once the system is drained, turn the faucet OFF and remove the canisters by turning to the left about 1/3 turn. Keep these in a safe place until needed the next time.
