[. . . ] GE Infrastructure Water and Process Technologies MerlinTM Point of Use Drinking Water System Installation and Maintenance Manual SAFETY GUIDES Read and follow all steps and guides carefully before installing and using your reverse osmosis system. Do not use this product to make safe drinking water from non-potable water sources. Do not use the system on microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. This reverse osmosis system contains replaceable components (membrane elements). [. . . ] Slide the standoff onto the threaded tube, followed by the standard washer and nut. Screw the threaded hose connector on the end of the threaded tube. Connect the blue 3/8-inch product tubing by firmly pushing it into the connector. If using the air gap module, push the black 3/8-inch tubing onto the small hose barb from the collar. The red 1/2-inch tubing is pushed onto the large hose barb. The horseshoe clip is positioned around the threaded pipe under the sink and above the standoff. Tighten the nut against the clip to hold the faucet in position. Do not try to drill mounting holes anywhere on the system. If putting above ground/cabinet level, a sturdy, permanent shelf is recommended. 12 Rev B THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM Recommended Placement Positions Locking Bar The Merlin assembly should be positioned in one of two ways. The first position is with the unit standing upright using the support leg with the sumps horizontal. The tubing is directed to provide the best fit. The second position, sets the unit on end so the manifold is horizontal and the sumps are pointing up. The tubing is directed upward and the locking bar is down to lock the tubing connections. The table below shows the coding system for the fitting connections. Each fitting has a unique "keyed" socket on the manifold. Each fitting also has a graphic symbol molded into the elbow with a corresponding symbol on the manifold. First Position Connector Symbol Second Position Connection Flushing (optional) Feed-Inlet Concentrate Product Tubing Color Blue Natural Black Blue O WARNING: Be sure to lubricate the O-rings on the fitting elbows prior to inserting into manifold. WARNING: Do not turn the incoming water valve on until the locking bar is in place. NOTE: If the installation is not using the optional flush tank, the top connection will not have tubing. Instead a plug will be inserted into the fitting. Do not remove plug unless you are attaching the tubing and the flush tank. THE BASIC REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM 13 Rev B When all of the connections have been made, use the locking bar to hold the fittings in position. Match the symbols on the locking bar to the corresponding symbols on the manifold. Symbols Figure 6 Locking Bar STEP 6 SYSTEM STARTUP 1. If the flush tank is not installed, the 1/4-inch port on the manifold must be plugged. Position manifold horizontal with openings facing up. Remove new membrane elements from packaging. CAUTION: Elements contain a foodgrade preservative.
