CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING:

This product contains chemicals known to the

State of California to cause cancer or birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Inline filter life depends upon the water volume used and

the substances present in the water source. Manufacturer

recommends changing the filter every 6 to 12 months or when

its capacity expires, whichever comes first.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn off incoming water supply and valve on the storage

tank. Place a tray under the system to catch any water that

spills during removal of the filter housing.

Figure 1

2. Open faucet to release pressure.

3. Unscrew fittings from both ends of existing post filter.

Figure 2

4. Remove post filter from the bracket and discard.

INTENDED USE

• This product is intended for use as a post filter for an RO

system with a tank.

• This product is intended for use on drinking water.

• This product is intended to remove both heterotrophic

bacteria and chlorine thereby ensuring complete taste

and odor removal from water coming from the RO system

storage tank.*

• This product is intended to ensure the aesthetics of

product water dispensed from an RO system storage tank.

• This product is not intended for use on systems where

the influent source to the RO system is known to be

microbiologically contaminated OR where the product

water is known to contain pathogenic microorganisms.

• This product is not intended to protect

immunocompromised users from skin contact or

ingestion-related illness.

• Membrane filtration provides 99.9999% reduction of

bacteria by mechanical means.*

• NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certified to reduce cysts such as

Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means.

* Tested & verified by independent laboratory testing.

PRECAUTIONS

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 cust reduction may be

used on disinfected waters that may contain

filterable cysts.

CAUTION:

Filter must be protected against freezing, which

can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.

NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water.

Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer’s

instructions, including replacement of filter

cartridges.

NOTE: Keep this unit clean with soap and water. Do not use

spray cleaners or insecticides near the unit.

NOTE: Do not install close to a heat source.

NOTE: Comply with all state and local laws and regulations.

PERFORMANCE DATA

Important Notice: Read this performance data and compare

the capabilities of this system with your actual water treatment

needs. It is recommended that, before installing a water

treatment system, you have your water supply tested to

determine your actual water treatment needs.

This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53

for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration

of the indicated substances in water entering the system

was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the

permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in

NSF/ANSI 42 and 53.

Test Conditions

Flow Rate = as noted for filter system

Inlet Pressure = 60 psi (4.1 bar)

pH = 7.5±1

Temperature = 68°F ± 5°F (20°C ± 2.5°C)

Operating Requirements

Pressure = 20-125 psi (1.4–8.62 bar)

Temperature = 40-100°F (4.4–37.8°C)

Turbidity = 5 NTU Max.

5. Remove tubes from fittings by pressing in the collar around

the fitting while pulling the tubing out with your other hand.

Figure 3

6. Tape fitting threads with three wraps of plumber tape and

attach fittings to the new post filter.

CAUTION:

Ensure the tape is not touching the O-ring on the

fitting or a leak may occur.

NOTE: The post filter has an arrow on it showing the

direction of flow. The tee fitting connects to the inlet

side of the filter and the elbow fitting attaches to the

outlet side.

NOTE: Hand tighten fittings, then tighten with wrench 1/4

turn.

7. Attach the post filter to bracket with the tee fitting on the

right hand side.

NOTE: The diameter of the GS-210RO-MF post filter is 2.5",

and may be different than the existing post filter. Two

2.5" x 2.5" clips (P/N 357780) are required to properly

install the post filter to the RO element housing.

Contact your local water treatment professional for

details.

8. Attach tubes to fittings by pushing in until the tube stops.

Check to see if tube is in place by trying to gently pull tube

out.

9. Open the valve on the storage tank and turn on the cold

water supply.

10. Open the faucet and allow water to run through the faucet

for 12 hours to fully rinse out the hollow fiber membrane.

Close faucet when rinse is complete.

NOTE: The post-polishing filter may contain fine black

carbon particles. These fines are harmless, but may

make the water appear gray in color. The carbon fines

are flushed from the system with one full tank volume

of water.

NOTE: Initially the water may appear cloudy. This is a result

of air trapped in the post-polishing filter. It is not

harmful and will disappear in a matter of minutes. It

may take up to a week after installing a new post-

polishing filter for the trapped air to dissipate.

The system is now ready for operation. You can now enjoy

quality water from your Reverse Osmosis System.

REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES

Contact your local water treatment professional for

replacement cartridges.

Membrane filtration provides 99.9999% reduction of bacteria by

mechanical means.

NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certified to reduce cysts such as

Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS continued

The GS-210RO-MF has been Tested and Certified by NSF

International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 and 53 for the

claims specified in the Performance Data Sheet.

The GS-210RO-MF Inline product has been tested by BioVir Laboratories Inc. and found

to meet all the requirements of protocol PWP-LAB-401, developed for verifiying the

integrity of products that claim 99.9999% or greater removal of bacteria. The protocol

challenges the product at the beginning, end, and up to two times throughout the life of

the product for bacteria at an influent concentration of 8-log. Products that are tested

under this protocol are run at open flow, 60 psi, 50% cycle, for no less than 8 hours per

day.

Membrane filtration provides 99.9999% reduction of bacteria by mechanical means.

GS-210RO-MF demonstrated a greater than 7-log reduction
