TDS meter information:
Generally, Reverse Osmosis systems lower TDS readings by as much as 90% when compared to tap water readings. This is a normal working range. For example, if your tap water TDS reading is 100, then a normal TDS reading for the RO filtered water is in the range of 0–10. If the TDS reading for the RO filtered water is higher than 15% of normal tap water, this indicates it's time for a filter change, including RO membrane.
Important note about TDS meters and testers.
Q: When I use a Total Dissolved Particle (TDS) reader to test my water after it goes through the Capella, why don't the levels of dissolved particles go down or decrease? I don't think the product is working.

The Three-Stage Filtration Process

text_image
Stage One Stage Two Stage Three Activated Carbon Plus Filter E2RO Membrane Carbon Block FilterStage One: Activated Carbon Plus Filter The Activated Carbon Plus filter reduces particulate materials such as sand, rust, and fine particles from the water supply. This first stage also acts as a pre-filter protecting and extending the life of the following filters.
Stage Two: E2RO Membrane Filter The Eco-Efficient Reverse Osmosis Membrane filter works by pushing water through a semi-permeable membrane, thereby separating water molecules from contaminants in tap water. The powerful E2RO Membrane significantly reduces pollutants such as heavy metals, cysts, fluoride, arsenic, industrial chemicals, and more. With its unique flow structure, the E2RO Membrane also utilizes less feed water and is more efficient than traditional RO filters.
Stage Three: Carbon Block Filter
The final stage in the filtration process, the Carbon Block filter further reduces any lingering water contaminants such as chlorine and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), improving the overall taste and odor of the dispensed water.
Step 1: T-Valve Installation

DO NOT INSTALL THE FILTER HEAD CONNECTION ASSEMBLY FURTHER THAN 12 FEET AWAY FROM EITHER THE WATER SUPPLY VALVE OR THE INDICATOR FAUCET.
Avoid unnecessary slack in the supply hoses when connecting to the water supply, Filter Head Connection Assembly, or Indicator Faucet. Do not install in direct sunlight or a place where it will be directly exposed to freezing temperatures.
NOTE: Be sure to install the T-Valve on the cold water supply line. Running hot water through the Capella will damage the filters.
- Close the cold-water supply valve. Place a bucket or similar item underneath the valve to catch any water that may spill out during installation.
- Unscrew the hose that connects the cold-water supply valve to the existing tap water faucet.
- Ensure the rubber washer is inside the T-Valve Adapter, and then screw the adapter onto the cold-water supply valve.
NOTE: If the water supply valve is larger than the 38 " connection on the T-valve, use the included 12 " Valve Adapters with Rubber Washers to connect the T-valve and the water supply hose.
- Screw the cold-water supply hose to the top of the T-valve closed.

Checking for Leaks/Flushing the System
Turn on Water & Check for Leaks
NOTE: Before turning the cold water on, review the installation instructions to ensure that the T-valve and water hoses are connected correctly and securely.
- Turn on water supply
a. Open the T-valve by turning the valve arm 90° as shown.
b. Turn the cold-water supply valve at the wall counterclockwise to turn on. The cold-water supply will then begin to supply water to the Capella.
- Checking for leaks
a. Once the water supply has been turned on, check for any signs of leaking throughout the system.
b. If no leaks are found, wait 5 minutes and check one more time. If there is still no leaking, then continue to next step to flush the system.
NOTE: Failure to properly install this product or to properly check for leaks may cause damage to the property. In these instances, Brondell, Inc. will not be held responsible for any damages.

OnStep 1
Flushing The System
- Turn on the blue tank shut-off valve so that it is lined up in the same direction of the tank tubing.
- Turn the provided faucet on all the way for 10 minutes to purge all the air out of the system. It is normal for some water to flow out of the faucet during this first purge.
- After the initial 10-minute purge, turn the provided faucet off and let the system run for 90 minutes to allow the water tank to fill for the first time.
NOTE: Depending on water temperature and incoming water pressure, it may take a shorter or longer period of time for the tank to fill.

text_image
OnStep 1
-
When the tank is full, turn the faucet on all the way once more for 10 minutes (or until the tank empties) to flush the filters and the water tank.
-
Turn the faucet off.
-
Repeat steps 3 and 4 and flush the system 2 more times (total 3 flushes). After the last flush, allow the tank to refill, and then filtered water will be ready to drink.
-
Record installation date on the Filter Change Chart on page 21 or on the provided sticker. For convenience, you may place the sticker under the sink or in another accessible place.
NOTE: Do not drink the water from the system until you have completed flushing the system.
Water Pressure
Traditional RO systems run on water pressure. Your incoming water pressure has a direct effect on how well your RO system will perform. With sufficient water pressure (max 100 psi), your RO system will function well and fill up the storage tank quickly.
To test your water pressure, you can use a water pressure gauge from your hardware store that connects onto your sink or garden faucet. Turn on the water all the way to FULL, and take a reading. Some areas may have different water pressure during the day and night. To get an accurate measurement, take several measurements at different times of the day and average them out.
If the tank takes too long to fill up, you may have insufficient water pressure (below 35 psi) and may need to add a pump to increase your water pressure. The type of booster pump that you may need will vary depending upon your specific usage and situation.
Non-standard installation (external booster pump or diverting water to a secondary outlet) may reduce the filter life or impact the system's operation.
Filters/Filter Change Indicators
Filters
The filters are critical to the performance of the Capella, and it is important to replace all of the filters on a regular basis. If any of the filters are overused beyond the recommended service life, the performance of the water filtration device can deteriorate. Do not miss the filter replacement cycle or use non-compatible filters as this can affect system performance or damage the unit.
NOTE: Contact Brondell at 888-542-3355, or visit us at www.brondell.com to order replacement filters.
Filter Change Indicator
The LED filter change indicator in the faucet works by tracking both time and water flow from the Capella.
When the faucet LED indicator begins to flash red, it's now time to change the filters and reset the faucet indicator by replacing the battery. A new battery is always included with the Capella RF-30 filter replacement set.
Filter Replacement
After replacing the filters, write down the date and filters changed on this Filter Change Chart (a separate sticker is also provided). It's important to track each filter change as the Activated Carbon Plus and Carbon Block Filters are on a more frequent cycle than the E2RO Membrane Filter. A replacement faucet battery is also included with the RF-30 filters.
| Filters to Change | Total Time Date Changed | ||
| Change 16 Months | Activated Carbon PlusCarbon Block | 6 Months | / / |
| Change 26 Months | Activated Carbon PlusCarbon Block | 12 Months | / / |
| Change 36 Months | Activated Carbon PlusCarbon Block | 18 Months | / / |
| Change 46 Months | Activated Carbon PlusCarbon BlockE2RO Membrane | 24 Months | / / |
-
Close the T-valve under the sink to shut off the flow of water to the Capella.
-
Once the T-valve is shut off, turn the Indicator Faucet on all the way and keep it on until the water tank is emptied and the pressure is released in the system. This should take about ten minutes, and the stream of water will slow to a stop when the tank has emptied. Turn the faucet off.
-
Remove each filter by turning to the left until the filter comes out of the Filter Head Connection Assembly.
-
Install the new filters by following the procedure below.
NOTE: It is very important to install the filters in the correct order.
Match the same label colors to the filter head labels, from left to right:
1) Activated Carbon Plus Filter
2) E2RO Membrane Filter
3) Carbon Block Filter
a. To insert the filters, first lineup the arrow on the filter heads with the arrow on the filters.

b. With the top and bottom arrows still lined up, insert the top of the filters into the housing and turn to the right until the filters will not turn anymore.
-
Open the T-valve to restore the flow of water to the Capella.
-
Flush the new filters and the system thoroughly with the following steps.
a. Turn the faucet on all the way for 10 minutes to purge all the air out of the system. It is normal for some water to flow out of the faucet during this first purge.
b. After the initial 10-minute purge, turn the faucet off and let the system run for 90 minutes or until the tank fills.
c. After 90 minutes, turn the faucet on all the way once more for 10 minutes (or until the tank empties) to flush the filters and the water tank.
d. Turn the faucet off.
e. The tank will fill again in about 90 minutes, and then filtered water will be ready to drink.
f. Record installation date on the filter change sticker chart, and place behind the sink cabinet door or another accessible place.
Battery Replacement For LED Indicator Faucet
- Replace the battery in the faucet LED indicator to reset the filter change reminder. The battery type is CR2032, and Brondell provides one with every set of RF-30 filters.
a. Under the faucet handle, locate the black rubber battery compartment. Grasp it from the sides, and pull down as shown.
b. Remove the old battery from the compartment by lifting the silver metal tab and sliding the battery out of the rubber casing. Wait 30 seconds for the residual energy to drain to reset the indicator.
c. Replace with a new CR2032 battery by sliding the battery under the silver tab, making sure that the words on the battery are facing out.
d. Push the black rubber battery compartment back up into the faucet handle.
e. The indicator will blink red once then blue once, then it will function as normal.

- The compounds certified under NSF/ANSI 401 have been deemed as "incidental contaminants/emerging compounds". Incidental contaminants are those compounds that have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels. While occurring at only trace levels, these compounds can affect the public acceptance/perception of drinking water quality.
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 at the system inlet or on water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramines (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of this Performance Data Sheet for further information.
Efficiency rating means the percentage of the influent water to the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water under operating conditions that approximate typical daily usage.
The product water should be tested every 6 months to ensure that the contaminants are being reduced effectively. For any questions, please contact Brondell toll free at 888-542-3355.
This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable treatment components, critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids and that product water shall be tested periodically to verify that the system is performing properly. Replacement of reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.
The estimated replacement time of filter, which is a consumable part, is not an indication of quality guarantee period, but it means the ideal time of filter replacement. Accordingly, the estimated time of filter replacement may be shortened in case it is used in an area of poor water quality.
System and installation shall comply with all state and local regulations.

ARSENIC FACTS
Arsenic (abbreviated As) is found naturally in some well water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste, or odor. It must be measured by a laboratory test. Public water utilities must have their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have the water tested. The local health department or the state environmental health agency can provide a list of certified labs. The cost is typically \15 to \30. Information about arsenic in water can be found on the internet at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website: www.epa.gov/safewater/arsenic.html.
There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic (also called As(V), As(+5), and arsenate) and trivalent arsenic (also called As(III), As(+3), and arsenite). In well water, arsenic may be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Special sampling procedures are needed for a lab to determine what type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the water. Check with the labs in your area to see if they can provide this type of service.
Reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment systems do not remove trivalent arsenic from water very well. RO systems are very effective at removing pentavalent arsenic. A free chlorine residual will rapidly convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Other water treatment chemicals such as ozone and potassium permanganate will also change trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. A combined chlorine residual (also called chloramine) may not convert all the trivalent arsenic. If you get your water from a public water utility, contact the utility to find out if free chlorine or combined chlorine is used in the water system.
The RC250 system is designed to remove pentavalent arsenic. It will not convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. The system was tested in a lab. Under testing conditions, the system reduced 0.30 mg/L (ppm) or 0.050 mg/L (ppm) pentavalent arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (ppm) (the USEPA standard for drinking water) or less. The performance of the system may be different at your installation. Have the treated water tested for arsenic to check whether the system is working properly.
The RO component of the RC250 system must be replaced every 24 months to ensure that the system will continue to remove pentavalent arsenic. The component identification and locations where you can purchase the component are listed in the installation/operation manual.

If the Capella appears to be operating abnormally, please review the troubleshooting tips before calling the Brondell Service Center as most issues are easily resolved with a few simple steps. If you are unable to resolve the issue after checking the following items, please call the Service Center at 888-542-3355, Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm PST (English and Spanish spoken), or email us at support@brondell.com.
If the Capella experiences difficulties, close the T-valve to shut off the incoming water to the unit.
| Problem Possible Cause(s) Solution(s) | ||
| My TDS meter is not reading zero | It could be normal operation, or the filters may need to be changed | Generally, RO systems lower TDS readings by as much as 90% when compared to tap water readings. This is a normal working range. For example, if your tap water TDS reading is 100, then a normal TDS reading for the RO filtered water is in the range of 0–10. If the TDS reading for the RO filtered water is higher than 15% of normal tap water, this indicates it's time for a filter change (including RO membrane). |
| No water, not enough water, or low water flow | 1. Incoming water supply valve or T-valve is turned off | 1. Turn on incoming water supply valve or T-valve. |
| 2. Low incoming water pressure | 2. Verify pressure is above 35 psi; install a booster pump if needed. | |
| 3. Capacity is exhausted | 3. Allow time for the Capella to replenish the water storage tank. | |
| 4. Plumbing restriction | 4. Check connections and tubes for obstructions. | |
| 5. Other filter or RO membrane is clogged | 5. See Filter Replacement (page 21). | |
| 6. Tank shut-off valve is closed | 6. Ensure tank shut-off valve is in the open position and lined up in the same direction of the tank tubing. | |
| 7. System is starting up | 7. Normally it takes up to two hours to fill the water storage tank. Low incoming water pressure and/or temperature can also reduce production rate. | |
| 8. Check air pressure in water storage tank. | 8. Tank air pressure should be 5-7 psi when empty of water. If below 5 psi, add air, or release air if above 7 psi. Check only when the tank is empty of water. | |
| Unexpected flow in drain line | The auto shut-off valve is inoperative | See product warranty in last page of manual, and contact Brondell. |
| No drain flow 1. | Other filters or E2RO Membrane is clogged | 1. See Filter Replacement (page 21). |
| 2. The flow restrictor is inoperative | 2. See product warranty in last page of manual, and contact Brondell. | |
| Bad tasting water 1. Carbon Block Filter is exhausted | 1. See Filter Replacement (page 21). | |
| 2. Newly replaced Carbon Block Filter is not flushed completely | ||
| 3. E2RO Membrane filter is exhausted | ||
| 4. Water has been sitting in the tank for too long | ||
| Cloudy water Dissolved air in incoming water supply | Problem should clear up as the condition of the incoming water changes. Letting water stand will allow the dissolved air to dissipate. | |
| Leaking water from the Capella | Tube is not fully inserted into a connection | Make sure the tube is at least 12 -inch into the connection. |
| Filter is not installed correctly | Ensure that all three filters are locked into place. | |
| The tip of the tube is damaged | Cut the damaged part of the tube, and reconnect or replace the tube. | |
