Introduction:
Read this entire service guide before beginning installation. The Aries HPL-RO system has been
designed for quick and simple installation and maintenance. By carefully reading this instruction
manual and following the operational guidelines, successful installation and reliable operation
will be insured.
System Description:
The Aries HPL-RO system is a 4-stage filtration system designed to remove more than 93% of
dissolved solids of a potable water supply. The purpose of each stage is described below:
Stage (1) – Sediment Filter: 5.0 micron filter designed to remove suspended particles like silt,
sand, or clay.
Stage (2) – Granular Activated Carbon: 20 x 50 mesh carbon designed to remove chlorine and
organics.
Stage (3) – Membrane Pre Filter: 1.0 micron filter designed to trap carbon fines and other
smaller suspended particles.
Stage (4) – Thin Film Composite Membrane: Polyamide reverse osmosis membrane that uses a
cross flow design to produce two product streams: permeate and concentrate. Permeate is the
purified stream that has >93% of dissolved solids removed. Concentrate is the removed salt
content that is sent to drain.
Conditions for Operation - Thin Film Composite Membrane:
Source Water Supply
System Pressure – 2.1 – 6.9 bar (30-100 psi)
Temperature – 4 - 38 ºC (40 - 100 ºF)
ph Range – 3.0 to 11.0
Maximum Supply TDS level – 2000 mg/L
Turbidity - < 1.0 net turbidity (NTU)
Chemical Parameter
Hardness - < 350 mg/L (<20 gpg)
Iron (Fe) - < 0.1 mg/L
Manganese - < 0.05 mg/L
Hydrogen Sulfide (H
2
S) – 0.00 mg/L
Chlorine (Cl
2
) – 0.00 mg/L
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM WHERE THE WATER IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR
OF UNKNOWN QUALITY. THIS SYSTEM IS FOR USE ON POTABLE WATER ONLY. SOURCE WATER
EXCEEDING CHEMICAL PARAMETERS REQUIRES PRETREATMENT.

Revision 4
System Installation:
Preparation:
Check the following components to ensure that all parts are packed with your system:
1 – Storage Tank
1 – Reverse Osmosis System
1 – Tubing Accessories
Determine the location for the installation of the RO system. Avoid locations where the system
might come in contact with hot water and other hazards. Make sure that a drain location is
provided for the RO system. An air gap is required to ensure that contamination is avoided from
other water sources. Determine the location of the storage tank. A maximum distance from RO
system to tank is 4.5 meters (15 feet).
All inlets and outlets are individually labeled for ease of installation:
(1/4”) FEED – Connects the feed water supply to the inlet of the sediment filter.
(1/4”) DRAIN – Connect the membrane brine port to drain.
(3/8”) TANK – Connect the membrane pure water port to storage tank.
(3/8”) SAMPLE – Connects the storage tank to the Gemini or Aries High Purity system inlet
(3/8”) OUTLET – Any additional outlets for RO water.
Fittings and Tubing:
Quick disconnect fittings are used throughout the system. To ensure an optimal seal, tubing
should be cut with the end square. An angled cut or distortion of the tubing will not provide an
efficient seal and may cause leaks.
To install a tube, push in the collet until it seats firmly. To remove a tube, push in the collet and
pull out the tube.
Secure connections are simple:
1) Cut the tube square and push past the O-ring to the tube stop
2) Tube is secured in position
3) Disconnection is just as easy
Push collet against body
Slide tube out of fitting

Revision 4
System Diagram:
Use good plumbing practices when installing the system. Isolation valves are recommended for
system isolation and maintenance. Connection to the Aries FilterWorks High Purity Water
system will be done only after the HPL-RO has been properly flushed.
System Set Up and Installation:
The system should be set up according to the diagram above. The tubing connections are labeled
for easy installation. Follow all local plumbing codes for correct installation.
DO NOT TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER ALL CONNECTION
HAVE BEEN MADE
1. Attach a 1/4” OD tube from the cold water supply to the FEED system inlet.
2. Attach a 1/4” OD tube to the DRAIN connection. The other end of the tube should be
connected to a drain or sink for the membrane reject water to flow. An air gap must
be left in this drain line so waste water does not back up into the membrane.
3. Connect the 3/8” OD tube from the TANK outlet on the RO system to the connection
on the RO storage tank assembly.
4. Connect a 3/8” OD tube from the RO-WATER connection on the RO system
assembly to polishing system.
5. DO NOT make the final connection to the polishing unit until the RO system and
cartridges have been properly flushed per the instructions below.

Revision 4
Activating the System for the First Time:
RO system must be properly flush prior to commissioning. A temporary line is required from the
storage tank to a drain or sink. Do not connect this line to the Aries Unit until the flush steps
have been complete.
DO NOT USE THE FIRST TWO RESERVOIRS OF WATER.
1. Make sure all water supply / drain lines are secure and free from leakage
2. Slowly open isolation valve on the inlet of the RO system. Check for leaks.
3. Open the storage tank valve.
4. While the final product valve is closed, allow the Storage tank to fill completely (this
should take about 4-6 hours). The concentrate flow to drain will stop when the tank is
full.
5. Dispense all of the water in the system to drain. This process removes the factory
installed sanitizing solution from the entire system and sends it to drain. Repeat this
process one more time. Allow the tank to fill for 4-6 hours and dispense to drain.
6. Connect the dedicated final product line to the Aries Filterworks HP unit for system
commissioning.
Maintenance:
Routine maintenance is essential to the longevity and performance of the system. Filters
should be changed quarterly and the RO membrane every six to twelve months depending on
the water quality.
Note that filters are labeled for easy servicing
1. Close the RO feed supply and Aries Filterworks HP valves. Close storage tank isolation
valve.
2. Using spanner wrench, remove 5 micron, GAC, and 1 micron filters. Replace with
cartridge kit AFK-005. Check o-ring seals to see if lubricant is needed. Use a silicone
based – petroleum free grease. Reassemble bowls. Avoid over-tightening.
3. If membrane replacement is required – proceed to the next step. Otherwise, turn open
isolation valves and inspect for leaks.
4. For membrane replacement, remove membrane feed line and unscrew housing cap.
Remove membrane from housing (pliers may be required). Install membrane (part
number AM-12-7010), screw on cap, and reconnect hose.
5. Open sample /drain valve upstream of Aries Filterworks system. Open RO Feed valve
and flush membrane for 4-6 hours to remove sanitant.
6. After system flush, close sample / drain valve and open storage tank and Aries
Filterworks valves.

Revision 4
Troubleshooting:
1. Problem: Not enough product water pressure
Reason: Storage tank air pressure is low
Solution: Empty storage tank and set pressure to 55kPa (8 psi)
2. Problem: Not Enough Water
Reason: Water supply is blocked
Solution: Clear restriction or check water supply
Reason: Storage tank is depleted
Solution: Consider an increase in tank size or membrane capacity
Reason: Clogged sediment cartridge
Solution: Replace sediment cartridge, drain tank, and sanitize system
Reason: Low water pressure
Solution: If line pressure is below 2.1 bar (30 psi), install a booster pump.
3. Problem: No drain water
Reason: Clogged flow restrictor
Solution: Replace membrane
Spare Parts:
Part Number: AFK-005
Replacement Filter Kit (5.0 micron filter, GAC, 1.0 micron filter)
Part Number: AM-12-7010
Membrane: TFC 100 GPD, Residential style
