Congratulations on your investment in superior quality drinking water for
your family. In choosing the MT3 Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System, you have
selected a most sophisticated home water purification system. To achieve maximum
benefit from this unit, we urge you to familiarize yourself with this new state-of-the-art.
We hope you will find this manual both interesting and informative.
PREFACE
The purpose of this booklet is to provide some basic information about Reverse Osmosis (RO)
and its potential benefits to homeowners, institutions, small businesses, industry and even
municipal water suppliers. It seeks to answer some of the most common questions and is not
intended to be an exhaustive treatment of the subject. It is also an installation and service
manual.
The question of quality drinking water is becoming increasingly important to all of us today.
Every day we learn of more sources of water pollution and their potential impact on our health
and standard of living. Just because water appears to be clear to the naked eye does not
necessarily mean that it is free of contamination. Pure water is tasteless, odorless and colorless,
but some of the invisible contaminants are harmful in measurements as small as parts per million
and some even in parts per billion. That may seem to be an insignificant amount of material, but
in the environment of our body cells, it can be an overwhelming amount.
Although, a good reverse osmosis system can be depended on to reduce or remove most
waterborne contaminants with certain limitations, the most important reason people obtain these
units is to have better tasting water. The MT3 RO will enable you to serve glasses of crystal
clear, delicious drinking water, better tasting coffee, tea, iced tea, juices, soups, clear and harder
ice cubes, etc. Have you ever wondered why a cola purchased from some national restaurant
chains is consistently good, no matter where you buy it? The answer is in the pure water they
add to the concentrated syrup. You too can have good, high quality water in your home at the
turn of the tap.

INTRODUCTION TO REVERSE OSMOSIS
How Reverse Osmosis Works
The process known as osmosis occurs in
Nature when solutions with two different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable
membrane. Osmotic pressure drives water with
lower dissolved solids through the membrane
to dilute the more concentrated solution.
PRESSURE
SEMI-PERMEABLE
MEMBRANE
while the dissolved solids including salts and
sugars are left behind to be flushed to the drain.
Different feedwater may require different
types of RO membranes. Materials of construction include cellulose tri-acetate (CTA) and thinfilm composite (TFC).
A properly designed RO system is probably
the most economical and efficient method available for the purification of tap water.

The MT3 Reverse Osmosis drinking water
system produces a high quality water by the
removal of as much as 95% or more of the
dissolved solids and virtually all of the chlorine,
tastes, odors and organics found in the water
supply.
The MT3 offers a number of features and
benefits that make it an exceptional product:
The standard unit includes a 2.1-gallon storage tank. An optional larger tank is available.
The system drain shuts down when the storage tank is about 2/3 full of RO water. Besides
saving water, the pre-filter is not required to trap
sediment from excess waste water thereby prolonging its life.

Step 2: Remove old membrane from the
housing.
Depending on the membrane installed in your
system, you will see either a short pipe protruding from the end of the membrane (see Fig. 2)
or you may see only a threaded hole in the
center. Also, note how far in the membrane
actually is for reference when inserting the new
one. If you see a short pipe, grab onto it with a
pair of pliers and pull the membrane out of the
housing. If you see threads, get a standard “
carriage bolt (of sufficient length to hold onto)
and screw it into the membrane far enough to
get a solid hold. Pull the membrane out. You
may feel some resistance as the membrane
comes unseated from the housing. Throw out
the old membrane.
brane in until it seats in the membrane housing
securely. Gently rock the membrane back and
forth while pushing if necessary to seat the
membrane properly. NOTE: It is of utmost
importance the membrane seats securely,
otherwise the sealed space between reject
water and product water is seriously compromised, resulting in little difference in TDS count
between raw water and water coming from the
faucet.
Step 6: Screw the membrane housing cap
back into place and tighten securely.
Step 7: Re-insert red tubing into the elbow
fitting on the Membrane Housing
cap.
Step 3: Wash your hands & the surfaces of
the tools used to extract the old
membrane before going onto Step 4.
If you are performing a cartridge filterchange along with your membrane change
you should complete the filter change before turning the water back on.
Anything you can do to minimize bacterial
contamination of the system will help maintain
trouble-free performance.
If you are not doing a filter change or have
completed it, you can now turn the water back
on.
Step 4: Wash and sterilize the membrane
housing.
Empty any water left in the housing and
wash it. Then sterilize it by filling the housing
with water to which a capful of hydrogen peroxide has been added. Wait ten minutes then
empty. Do not rinse the membrane housing.
Step 5: Insert the new membrane into the
housing.
Open the sealed bag the RO membrane
comes in with the side to be inserted up. Grasp
the membrane by the bag surrounding it and
hold it up to the mouth of the membrane housing. Slide the membrane out of the bag and into
the housing. Using the pliers or the “ bolt used
to extract the old membrane, push the mem-

FACTORS WHICH AFFECT THE LIFETIME AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE MT3 RO MEMBRANE
1. Type of membrane: Cellulose tri-acetate or thin-film
composite.
Cellulose Tri-Acetate(CTA)
• Up to 1,000 ppm TDS with net water pressure of
50 psi
• Chlorine tolerant
• Some bacteria resistance
• 4.0 to 8.0 pH
• Pressure Range of 30 to 100 psi
• Water Temperature of 40° to 85°F.(4-29°C)
• Hardness less than 10gpg.
• A chlorinated supply will increase membrane life
Thin-Film Composite (TFC)
• Up to 2,000 ppm TDS with net water pressure of
50 psi
• Not chlorine tolerant
• Bacteria resistant
• 2.0 to 11.0 pH
• Pressure Range of 30 to 100 psi
• Water Temperature of 40° to 100°F.(4-38°C)
• Chemically stable
• Hardness less than 10gpg.
2. Square feet of membrane: The square feet of membrane and the production of RO water are in direct
proportion.
See Step 1, on page 18. Open both the
Supply Saddle Valve and the Storage Tank
Ball Valve.
Check for leaks around the membrane housing cap and the elbow, then you are ready to
flush the whole system.
Step 8: Discard the water already in the Storage Tank, by opening the RO faucet
and letting it run until the water slows
to a trickle.
Then shutoff the faucet, wait 2 hours and
repeat Step 8 again. This repeated step
flushes all remnants of the disenfectant, used
to clean the membrane housing, from the storage tank and the system.
3. Water Pressure: The higher the net pressure across the
membrane, the greater the quantity and higher the quality of RO water.
4. Total Dissolved Solids: The higher the TDS, the lower
the production. Each 100 ppm above 500 represents
about one pound reduced pressure on the membrane.
Thus 1500 ppm reduces the effective pressure by 10
pounds.
5. Water Temperature: Colder water results in lower
production. Temperatures above manufacturer’s specifications are to be avoided because of problems with the
membrane support structures and accelerated compaction rates. Connect to cold water supply only! (See Fig.
3)
6. Surface Coating or Fouling: A neglected pre-filter can
allow sediment to accumulate on the cartridge surface
and impair the necessary flow of water through the filter,
thus reducing membrane life. Also, salts can precipitate
on the membrane, plugging the pores and channels. A
water softener or other types of pre-treatment installed
before the RO System significantly reduces this load and
extends membrane life. (See Fig. 6)
WARNING: Install only on a potable
water supply.

If the graph indicates a potential for
scaling, softening the water is the
simplest pre-treatment. It is also possible to lower the pH to avoid scaling,
using either acid-feed or weak-acid
resin treatment. Another pre-treatment method makes use of a polyphosphate feeder. If the iron exceeds
0.1 ppm or manganese exceeds 0.05
ppm, pre-treatment for these materials
will also be required. For low levels (up
to 5 ppm), either softening or polyphosphate feeding may be used. Higher
levels may require more specialized
treatment.

designed to remove chlorine. A TFC membrane will not tolerate chlorine (see page 4)
and will fail without a carbon pre-filter to protect
it.
Step 5: Wash & sterilize filter sumps. Dump
out any water in the sumps and wash
them with soap and water.
NOTE: Do not use petroleum jelly since this
will dry out the O-rings and make them brittle.
Step 9: Reassemble filter housing.
Note which sump contains the carbon postfilter and install it on the lefthand filter (facing
unit). Re-install the other sump on the
righthand filter. Tighten sumps snugly onto
caps.
Place a capful of hydrogen peroxide into
each empty sump and then fill them with water.

now back in service.
CHANGING THE RO MEMBRANE
There are a number of factors that affect the life
expectancy of an RO membrane. See page 5 for
more information.
It is a good idea to have your RO water tested
at installation time so you know what a good TDS
(Total Dissolved Solids) count should be. If you
start noticing a difference in the taste of your RO
water, it may mean that only your filter cartridges
need to be replaced. However, if your ice cubes are
noticeably more cloudy or if you have your water
tested and the TDS is significantly higher than it
was or begins to rise noticeably over a short period
of time, the membrane probably needs to be replaced. You’ll need to have both a raw water sample
and a product water sample for this test, since this
is the only way to determine what is a significant
increase.
Changing the membrane is not particularly difficult and should be done at the same time you
change your cartridge filters. The following steps
assume this to be the case and that steps 1, 2a & 2b
on page 18 have been completed. (CAUTION:
Failure to perform these STEPS prior to proceeding will result in spraying water on youself
and your work area.) Remember, old cartridge
filters will only shorten the life expectancy of your
new RO membrane.
Step 1: Unscrew the RO membrane housing
cap.
Disconnect the red line from the elbow on
the cap of the RO Membrane Housing (SEE
Figure 6 for location). Using a large wrench,
a pair of channel locks, or some other similar
tool, unscrew the cap from the membrane
housing.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
•
If the use of RO water is minimal, it is
recommended that the storage tank be
exhausted periodically.This is necessary
to assure continued high quality water!
•
The pre-filter should be changed at least
once a year or when it becomes very dirty
or a restriction of flow is traced to it.
•
The post-filter should be changed if there
is taste or odor to the product water, but at
least every twelve (12) months.
•
The time period between RO Membrane
replacements will depend on the quality of
the supply water being treated and the type
of membrane in the system. This period
should be between one and five years and
will be accompanied by a decrease in
water quality.
•
The water quality (Total Dissolved Solids TDS) should be checked frequently and
also when the taste of the water or clarity
of the ice cubes changes. You can either
take a sample of water to your MT3 RO
dealer or he can provide you with a sample
bottle and mailing tube. You can purchase
a TDS monitor from your MT3 RO Dealer.
These monitors are available either as
handheld models or built into the RO faucet featuring indicator lights.
If the model number of your MT3 unit ends
with the letter “C” (for example, “MT3113C”) and the unit is installed on a chlorinated water supply, it is important to keep the
following in mind: Depending on your RO
water usage as well as the amount of chlorine
residual and organics in the supply water, the
Carbon pre-filter will need to be replaced on a
regular basis (usually once a year) to protect
the membrane from pre-maturely deteriorating
due to chlorine exposure.
The Carbon pre-filter is sized to the system.
SEE Parts List.

membrane, see CHANGING THE RO
MEMBRANE on page 17.
Locate the supply saddle valve where the
RO supply tubing (Red) is connected into the
sinks cold water pipe. Close the valve.
Next, close the ball valve at the Top of the
MT3 Storage Tank. Relieve the pressure in
the unit by opening the RO faucet. (See Fig.
6) NOTE: The water stored in the storage
tank is under constant pressure. The ball valve
must be turned off. Otherwise you will exhaust
all RO water from the tank when you open the
faucet before internal pressure is relieved. You
need this water for Step 11 at the end of this
procedure or Step 8 at the end of the Membrane Change Procedure.
Step 2a: Move the main unit out from under
sink for better accessibility.
There will be water in the filter housings, so
be sure to place a shallow pan under the unit
before loosening either filter housing to catch
any water which may spill.
18
Step 3: Remove filter sumps.Unscrew each
filter housing sump by turning clockwise looking down at the unit.
Use a filter spanner wrench (part #4987), an
oil filter wrench, a large pair of channel locks
or your own hands. Remember, the housings
are screwed on tightly so they wont leak therefore, some force may be needed to
loosen them.
Step 4: Remove old filter cartridges and
throw them away.
Take a minute to visually inspect your prefilter cartridge (right hand sump). Ordinarily, it
will be of the paper variety since its job is simply
to filter particles from the water before it
reaches the RO membrane. If however you

Composite) membrane and your water supply
Questions and Answers
Question: If the water leaving the municipal
water treatment plant is of good
quality, can I be sure of getting a
good glass of water in my home?
Answer: Not necessarily, the water can pick
up various contaminants on its way to your
faucet.
Believe it or not, some cities like New York
still have some old, wooden water mains.
These and other leaking water mains can pick
up unwanted substances such as bacteria,
Giardia and Cryptosporidium. Water supply
authorities are aware there are thousands of
submerged connections and cross-connections
between our water and sources of contamination occurring nationally, on a daily basis.
Plumbing items installed in violation of building
code by inexperienced or short-cut-minded
people cause many of these problems. This is
a frequent source of bacteria and other pollutants in municipal water systems. Clay-asbestos water mains can deteriorate, giving up
asbestos to the water. Service entrance pipes
leading into many older homes are often made
of lead. Additionally, lead can be leached out
of the 50/50 lead solder used to connect the
copper pipes in homes built before the law
changed a few years ago. Lead can also be
found in brass plumbing fixtures. Point-of-use
(at the tap) reverse osmosis is the most effective method of achieving good, safe drinking
water.
Question: What is Reverse Osmosis?
Answer: I can best answer this question by
first explaining briefly what natural “Osmosis”
is.
This is nature’s process by which moisture
and nutrients are taken up through the root
systems of plant life to its outermost leaves.
Moisture drawn from the soil passes through
cell walls cell by cell in this process. It is
scientifically described as the passing of a less
dense fluid until there is an equal density of fluid
on either side of the membrane, i.e., (the cell
walls). The process is repeated cell-by-cell as
life-nourishing fluid reaches the very tops of the
twigs and leaves of a plant. This same process
takes place in our own bodies and the bodies of
other animal life.
Reverse Osmosis is so named because man has,
through technology, reversed nature’s process. We
force raw tap water, which is the denser liquid,
against a semi-permeable membrane by utilizing the
domestic water supply pressure or a pump. When
forced against the one surface of the membrane the
water molecules diffuse through it molecule by
molecule forming pure water on the other side of the
membrane, leaving behind up to 98% of the dissolved solids and other impurities in the process.
Question: What happens to the impurities that
were in the water?
Answer: They are washed down the drain.
You see, unlike filters, the Reverse Osmosis
membrane is self-cleaning. The source water,
as it flows through the membrane module, is
divided into two streams. One stream is
forced through the membrane by diffusion because of the water pressure. The second
stream serves as a “rinse down” and carries
away the rejected salts, particulate matter and
other impurities to the drain. This ensures
there is no accumulation of debris on the pressure side of the membrane, as a function of
time. Sediment or carbon filters, on the other
hand, lose capacity with each glass of water
drawn. Besides losing capacity with each
glass of water drawn through them, filters only
remove particulate matter and perhaps some
tastes and odors from the water.
Question: Who invented or developed Reverse
Osmosis?
7
Answer: The spiral-wound Reverse Osmosis
membrane, which is the heart of the MT3 RO
system, was developed over many years of
research by scientists subsidized by the Office
of Saline Water*, a branch of the United States
Department of the Interior. The Office of Saline Water expended many millions of dollars in
the development of Reverse Osmosis. Today
Reverse Osmosis. is regarded as the most effective and efficient water cleaning method.
(*Now called the Department of Water Research & Technology)
Question: I understand that Reverse Osmosis
removes at least 95 percent of the
impurities. Does this mean that it
takes out the minerals?
Answer: Yes, it removes or reduces the excess minerals along with many other impurities
that may be present in tap water.
Question: Well, I have always had the impression that water should contain minerals; that they are essential to one’s
health.
Answer: If that were true, the population in
parts of the country served by water containing
little Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) would be at
risk. Also, modern research by biochemists,
nutritionists and medical doctors clearly indicates that we get enough natural minerals from
our food to satisfy our body’s needs. We don’t
need the excessive inorganic minerals that are
found in tap water.
Question: Does MT3 RO water taste flat?
Answer: No, most people believe that it is the
mineral content of water that makes it taste
good. However, it is the oxygen content of
water that gives it good taste. This is why
spring water bubbling to the surface tastes so
good. Oxygen permeates the MT3 membrane
even faster than water. This is why MT3 water
is highly oxygenated and has that delicious
“mountain spring” taste. After drinking MT3
water for only a few days, one would find it very
difficult to go back to drinking tap water. The
taste buds become more acutely aware of the
bad taste of chlorine and other impurities in tap
water.
8
Question: Do you use any charcoal in your
MT3 RO?
Fig.6a - (Optional) MT3 Under Sink Installation with Air Gap Faucet
Answer: Yes, we use an activated carbon filter of high capacity on the product water side of
the Membrane, in other words, our carbon filter
only deals with water that has already passed
through the RO membrane and been purified.
The activated carbon removes any vestige of
taste and odor as well as any remaining organics that might possibly remain in the water
and gives a “high polish”, which is the reason it
has such a “crystal clear” appearance.
Question: How would I know that my MT3 RO
is removing the dissolved solids
from the tap water?
Answer: You will be able to tell by taste and
by the clarity of the water. For example, ice
cubes made with RO water are harder and
clearer and last much longer. If you will take
two clean glasses of the same size and put ice
cubes from MT3 water in one and the same
number of ice cubes made from tap water in the
other, you will notice that it takes longer for ice
cubes made from Reverse Osmosis to melt.
They not only taste better, but they make all
beverages, particularly juices and mixed drinks,
taste better. The melted tap water will likely
have unsightly matter settled on the bottom of
the glass; not so with MT3 water.
Another way of determining the amount of
dissolved solids removed from tap water,
(which are but one type of contaminant), is by
the use of a conductivity meter. This meter
measures the conductivity in parts per million of
TDS. Specially equipped RO faucets, which
monitor the water quality, are available.
Question: I noticed that the scale on the meter
you use covers a wide range. What
do these numbers mean?
Answer: A number of the contaminants that
could be dissolved in our drinking water have
health consequences. One thing is certain,
however, the lower the number on the scale, the
better tasting will be the water compared with
water containing more dissolved solids. Water
containing more than 500 ppm of dissolved
solids is not considered to be the best for human
consumption. The U.S. Public Health Service
17
Fig.6 - Typical MT3 Under Sink Installation with Standard Faucet
has stipulated that water for drinking and cooking should not exceed 500 parts per million and
this limitation has been endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency in the Secondary
Standards of the Drinking Water Act. Unfortunately, there are vast areas of the United States
where the water exceeds the U.S. Public Health
Service limitations by a considerable amount.
Question: Does the conductivity meter measure everything that is in the source
water?
Answer: No, there are certain elements that
may be present in water that are non-ionic, in
other words, they do not conduct electricity.
These do not show up on a conductivity meter.
These elements fall into several groups, but
fortunately all are effectively reduced or removed by the Reverse Osmosis membrane.
Even a properly maintained unit that shows a
declining rate of TDS rejection after a couple of
years of use will still be an effective barrier to
these substances.
Question: What specifically are these non-ionic
substances?
Answer: They include: chlorine, radioactive
materials, bacteria, virus, Giardia, Chrystosporidium, pesticides, fertilizer, herbicides, organic materials (industrial waste) and
particulate matter (dirt, asbestos fibers, etc.).
Question: What can be done to improve drinking water sources so that they will
conform to U.S. Public Health Service stipulations?
Answer: We are, unfortunately, confronted
with a serious challenge in trying to raise municipal water standards. To upgrade all the
water used in the United States to safe drinking
standards would cost billions of dollars.
Back in the early 1900’s as the U.S. grew very
rapidly, there was one epidemic after another of
typhoid fever, cholera and other diseases communicated through municipal water systems. To
combat these epidemics we started introducing
chlorine into our water systems in approximately 1908. In the decade following and increasingly in the early 1920’s the addition of
chlorine became standard treatment in most
every municipal water system. It did kill the
16
bacteria and typhoid fever was almost completely eliminated. However, modern research now indicates that chlorine is an
insidious killer and many learned doctors and
medical researchers consider it as the chemical
responsible for the increase of cardio-vascular
diseases.
The latest research conducted by the National Academy of Sciences for the EPA indicates that when chlorine combines with organic
compounds in water, it produces chloroform
type compounds and trihalomethanes. These
particular compounds are believed to be carcinogens. It seems what once was a blessing,
ridding us of typhoid fever and other epidemic
diseases, may now be causing the deaths of
many Americans every year.
Question: What percentage of the water supplied by a municipal water treatment
plant is actually consumed by the
people?
Answer: That is an important question. The
fact is that we consume only about 1/2 of 1% of
the total water supply. The rest is used in
bathing, flushing toilets, fighting fires, cleaning
streets, watering lawns, industrial use, etc. It
doesn’t make a great deal of sense to treat all
of the municipal supply to optimum drinking
water quality for such a small percentage of use.
Point-of-use water treatment is the most practical method of ensuring that your family has the
purest, good tasting water.
Question: How much pure water will the MT3
RO produce?
Answer: Various models of the MT3 System
are available producing between 10 and nearly
100 gallons per day, depending on the perfomance factors listed on page 5.
Question: What may limit the application of an
MT3 RO system?
Answer: The unit must be installed on a potable supply (no bacteria). Even though the
membrane will normally reject bacteria and virus, any imperfection in the membrane or its age
could pose a problem. Water containing very
high TDS may require a commercial type RO
system including a pump, which produces
9
higher pressure than is available in a domestic
supply.
Question: Are there any norms or standards
that have been established for
evaluating the performance of a Reverse Osmosis membrane?
Answer: Yes, the norm on which the performance of a home type Reverse Osmosis Appliance is predicated is 50 lbs. water pressure, 500
TDS, and a 77° temperature. When the incoming water temperature is cold, almost down
to freezing for example, the production rate of a
module drops considerably, but the TDS rejection rate rises slightly. The same thing applies
to abnormally low water pressure except that
both output and purity drop. This is why certain conditions of use have been set forth in the
MT3 RO Guarantee. In general, the three factors that influence the performance of an RO
membrane are temperature, water pressure
and the TDS of the source water. For example, every temperature degree below 77° is the
same as approximately a 2% drop in net pressure. For every 100 parts per million of TDS
there is a loss equal to about one pound per
square inch of pressure. This is all quite technical, however, and usually of interest only to
those involved in the precise evaluation of membrane performance.
Question: What is the ratio of wastewater to the
pure water produced by an MT3
RO?
Answer: The proper ratio to insure long membrane life is about 4 to 1. MT3 RO units are
pre-set to this ratio at the factory. Therefore,
for every gallon of pure water produced, approximately 4 gallons of wastewater go down
the drain.
Question: Isn’t that a lot of water that is wasted
down the drain?
Answer: Are you concerned about the cost or
are you concerned from an ecological standpoint? If you are concerned about cost, it’s a
small matter. Using an average of a gallon per
day of RO water will add less than 50 cents to
your monthly water bill, depending on local
water and sewer rates. That’s not much to pay
for pure water for drinking and cooking. Inci10
dentally, did you know that some bottled water
is made by reverse osmosis? It may be labeled “Spring Water”, but, in many instances, a
large industrial reverse osmosis unit makes it.
The MT3 RO is simply a smaller reverse osmosis system producing pure water in your home
for a few cents per gallon. Bottled water bought
in stores can be rather expensive. Bottled water
delivered to your home is considerably more
expensive. In addition, you have to wrestle with
the heavy bottles. If you are bothered about
the wastewater from an ecological standpoint,
we are not talking about a lot of water. Also,
keep in mind that one has to pay a price for pure
water just as one pays for everything else.
However, there are many ways that ecologicalminded people can save important quantities of
water.
Fig. 5a (Optional) Air Gap Faucet
8. Start-up Procedure
A. Open the Supply Saddle Valve and immediately check for any leaks. Correct any
evident problems.
B. Disconnect the tube at the Drain Saddle
fitting and verify the flow of reject water.
C. The Storage Tank may be partially filled
with water prior to start-up with the use of
a 1/4" x 3/8" adapter connected to the
supply line, this will provide flow from the
Faucet soon after installation. Otherwise,
water will not flow from the Faucet for
approximately 30 minutes.
D. At this time open the Faucet for about 1
minute. Check for leaks above and below
faucet.
E. Close the Faucet and re-inspect the entire
system for leaks.
F. As late in the day as possible, e.g., just
before retiring, open the faucet and drain
the storage tank completely until faucet
just drips. Close faucet.
G. If an icemaker has been connected to the
MT3, leave its lever or switch in the “off”
position and turn it on the following morning when the tank will be full.
Question: Can this water be saved and used?
Answer: Yes, by simple plumbing, this water
could be diverted to storage containers or some
form of catch basin. It really is just plain wastewater and could be used to wash the family car,
although it might precipitate water rings and
spots.
Question: What are some of the ways that
water can be conserved around the
home?
Answer: Here are a few examples:
1) 70% of the water inside the average home
is used in the bathroom, where one of
history’s biggest water wasters in
perched-the toilet. Although only twoand-a-half gallons are actually needed,
the typical American toilet uses anywhere
from three to six gallons per flush-and we
flush as though it were the only way to
discard things. Throw in a facial tissue,
flush the toilet; throw in a cigarette butt,
flush the toilet. Each day, we flush away
29 gallons of water per person-more than
five times the amount a person living in a
poor country uses for all purposes in a
whole week.
2) Don’t leave water running while brushing
your teeth. Several gallons of water can
be lost down the drain in a hurry.

1.Place 3/8" Adapter Seal in the mount
tube end of the 3/8" brass Adapter, then
screw the Adapter onto the end of the
threaded mount tube
2.Slide the 3/8" Ferrel and brass Compression Nut (provided with faucet)
onto 3/8" OD product water supply tubing (Blue).
3.Insert the plastic Tube Insert into the
end of the product water supply tubing.
4.Insert the suppy tube into the Adapter,
then slide the Ferrel and Compression
Nut up to the Adapter until the Ferrel is
no longer visible, now tighten the compression nut onto the Adapter until
snug.
6. Mount the Purification Unit
It may be advantageous to connect some or
all of the tubing to the unit before mounting.
If so, see “Connect the Components” in section 7 at the bottom of this page.
Your MT3 RO is designed to be hung on two
screws in the cabinet sidewall so the Preand Post-filters are off the cabinet floor
enough to facilitate the changing of the filter
cartridges. (A minimum of 4" is recommended, SEE Fig. 6).
The Purification Unit can also be set on the
cabinet floor and secured to the sidewall
using the mounting bracket.
Occasionally, the arrangement under the
sink does not permit the installation of the
purification assembly either on or against
the sidewall. The unit is designed to be free
standing, if necessary, and may be placed
virtually anywhere under the sink or in the
basement.
A. Marking screw placement
Using the manifold/mount bracket as a
template, mark the screw slot centers on
the side at the desired location. Make
sure the bracket is level when marking
the holes.
B. Drill or make mount/pilot holes
Drill pilot holes at the center marks or use
a hammer and awl to make pilot holes.

3) It is estimated that the average shower
takes 20 to 30 gallons. Those who luxuriate in a hot shower or a cold one on a hot
summer day will let as much as 40 to 50
gallons of water go down the drain. You
could install a flow control in the showerhead to save water.
4) When cleaning vegetables, most people
will let the cold water run at a fast rate.
This can waste many gallons of water.
5) Buy a pistol grip valve nozzle for the hose.
This permits the instant turning on and off
of water while washing the family car.
Letting the hose run as most people do
while they are sudsing the car can waste
many gallons of water. A 3/4" hose
pours out approximately 180 gallons per
hour.
6) After a heavy rain, don’t permit the automatic timer to turn on the sprinklers and
don’t let the sprinkler system run excessively. In some neighborhoods at lawn
watering time the street curbs become
veritable rivers of wasted water. One
way to preserve the important ground
water would be to prohibit the construction
of new golf courses. Golf courses are
beautiful and benefit only a few hundred
people. However, the irrigation water
used daily would support a fairly large
community. With ground water levels in
many areas lowering every year, ecologists should give this a lot of thought.
Question: Does the water pressure have a
great deal to do with the module’s
TDS rejection rate?
C. Mounting the Purifcation unit
Screw 2 mounting screws into the pilot
holes, leaving just enough protruding to
allow the manifold/bracket mounting slots
to slide over them.
7. Connect the Components (SEE Fig. 6)
NOTE: If an icemaker or remote faucet is to be
connected to the RO, install a 3/8" Quick Connect at the Faucet outlet of the manifold at this
Answer: Yes. The greater the water pressure
the greater the rejection rate of TDS and more
product water is produced. In large commercial
systems, for example, normal city water pressure is stepped up as much as several hundred
percent by high-pressure pumps. When the
water pressure reaches high levels the TDS
rejection rate rises as high as 99% and the
volume of product water produced rises dramatically.
Answer: This is, of course, related to the quality of your tap water. However, in general, an
RO membrane will last from two to four years or
more when processing average municipal
water. There are certain conditions of use as
specifically set forth in our guarantee, which
must be met. However, these conditions fall well
within the parameters of most city water systems.
Question: How often does the activated carbon
filter have to be changed?
Answer: The activated carbon filter or filters
usually do not have to be changed but once a
year. It is customary to replace the pre-filter
and carbon filter at the same time.
Question: Why can’t giant reverse osmosis
systems be used in municipal water
plants?
Answer: Indeed, some municipalities in Florida have source water loaded with dissolved
solids.
They provide a blend of RO and filtered
ground water to their customers.
Question: What with the limitation or outright
banning of certain substances by
our government, it seems that almost everything one eats and drinks
today may be harmful.
Answer: It is a deep concern. The National
Cancer Institute and the World Health Organization estimate that up to 90% of all cancer is
caused by contaminants in the water we drink,
the food we eat and the air we breathe. However, we can do various things to safeguard our
health. We can drink good water and we can
eat good food. It’s difficult to control the air we
breathe, but even that can be improved.
