ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

2 WATER YOU CAN TRUST®

The system consists of seven (7) major components:• Everpure® SEN+ Fine Filter Cartridges*• Inlet Booster Pump• Everpure MR-600F Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane

Cartridge• Permeate Pump• Everpure SEN Fine Filter Cartridge*• Control System with Power Supply• 15 Gallon Storage Tank

The SEN+ Fine Filter Cartridges contain multiple medias. These medias filter out dirt and particles, reduce chlorine and provide scale control, to extend RO membrane life.*

The Inlet Booster Pump increases the inlet pressure to maintain consistent permeate production.

The MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge contains a semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane. It’s here that most of the dissolved impurities are separated from the water and flushed down the drain. The water that is able to pass through the membrane, which is very low in dissolved impurities, is referred to as permeate or RO water.

The Storage Tank minimizes back pressure on the permeate produced by the MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge. This reduction of back pressure provides consistent permeate production and maximizes system efficiency for peak demand.

The SEN Fine Filter Cartridge acts as a postfilter, filtering the RO water and any tap water added via the blending system.* †

TOOLS, MATERIALS & SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIREDIn most cases, common hand tools and plumbing materials suitable for use with RO water are all that is needed for system installation. The system setup and calibration requires special equipment:

• Two (2) - 32 ounce or 1,000 mL Graduated Containers• Ball Valve for 1/2-inch O.D. Tubing• Stopwatch• Pressure Gauge• Hardness Test Kit• Chlorine Test Strips• TDS Meter• Utility Knife• Eyedropper• 5.25% Household Bleach or Equivalent Disinfectant

SYSTEM ASSEMBLYWARNING: Mounting surface may require reinforcement to

support the Processor Assembly safely. Hollow walls, drywall and other non-structural surfaces are not suitable for mounting unless reinforced.

WARNING: Do not use screws smaller than #12 (5.5 mm) for mounting the Processor Assembly.

The Everpure® Conserv® HE-3 Processor Cabinet is designed to wall mount using either of two (2) methods.

1. If an Everpure® MRS-600HE-II System is being replaced, the mounting brackets can be reused. The new Conserv HE-3 will not swing open when using these brackets.

2. A mounting kit may be purchased that includes two (2) hinges and a template with instructions. This mounting kit allows the Conserv HE-3 to swing open for access to the back of the cabinet.

1 Wall Mounting Using the Hinged Mounting Kit The Everpure® Conserv® HE-3 Processor Cabinet can have two (2) mounting hinges attached to one side of the cabinet. The second half of the hinge is separate and will be mounted to the wall. See Figure 5 for Dimensions. When this half of the hinge is correctly mounted to the wall, it allows the cabinet to be lifted and the hinge pieces to connect to each other.

NOTE: When the processor cabinet is hinge-mounted, it can swing away from the wall to allow servicing. Determine that the application site will allow the cabinet to swing in the desired direction.

CAUTION: Be certain that the holes are vertically level. Any deviation will cause the Conserv HE-3 RO System Cabinet to swing during servicing.

1. Place the two (2) hinges in position over the mounting holes with the pegs pointing up.

2. Secure the hinges with appropriate hardware.

Figure 5 2 Tubing Locations1. Refer to Figure 6 Conserv HE-3 RO System Assembly

for a description of major components and connection points. These major components and connections will be referred to in the following steps.

2. Prepare the plumbing to accept the RO system.

NOTE: The blended water tubing/piping and associated fittings connecting the RO blended water outlet to the equipment being serviced should be food-grade material that meets NSF® Standard 51, 61, or similar, with a minimum pressure rating of 100 psi (6.9 bar, 0.69 MPa). The blended water may react with metal piping, creating a corrosive condition in addition to imparting an objectionable taste. Plastic pipe or reinforced beverage tubing are generally very good material choices for RO water distribution piping. The size of the blended water tubing/piping should be 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) O.D. minimum. Distances of 25 feet (7.6 m) or greater from the RO system to the equipment being serviced should be 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) O.D. minimum.

3. Locate an appropriate point in the hard water plumbing to tie in a new section of tubing/piping that can be routed to the RO system. CLOSE the nearest shut-off valve that is upstream from the tie-in point and relieve the pressure in the line. Tie in the new tubing/piping section and connect it to the Hard Water Inlet fitting. See Figure 6 Conserv HE-3 RO System Assembly.


4. Locate an appropriate point in the soft water plumbing to tie in a new section of tubing/piping that can be routed to the RO system. CLOSE the nearest shut-off valve that is upstream from the tie-in point and relieve the pressure in the line. Tie in the new tubing/piping section and connect it to the Soft Water Inlet fitting. See Figure 6 Conserv HE-3 RO System Assembly.

5. Connect the appropriate size and type of tubing/piping and associated fittings to the Everpure® Conserv® HE-3 RO System. Route the line(s) to the equipment being serviced (i.e., steam, espresso, coffee, etc.). CLOSE the Hard and Soft Water Inlet Valves, and the Blended Water Outlet Valve on the RO system. Reapply pressure to the hard water and soft water distribution plumbing by slowly OPENING the shut-off valves that were closed in the previous steps.

6. Connect a 1/4-inch (6.3 mm) O.D. tube to the port located at the bottom of the processor labeled WASTE. Route the other end of the tubing to a drain nearby, securing it properly. Allow an air gap at the drain, following any applicable local and national codes. See Figure 6 Conserv HE-3 RO System Assembly.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Cause Remedy

1. Insufficient blended water volume during normal operating periods.

Cartridge(s) plugged. Replace cartridge(s).

MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge plugged. Replace MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge.

Insufficient system inlet pressure. Check/repair booster pump and inlet line.

2. Insufficient blended water volume during peak periods.

Refer to Problem 1. Refer to Problem 1.

System output too low for application. Verify system output. If output is within specification, increase output if applicable.

3. Low quality RO water. Refer to Problem 1. Refer to Problem 1.

MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge failure. Replace MR-600F RO Membrane Cartridge.

4. Low water pressure at water-using equipment.

Restrictive tubing/piping run to equipment. Increase tubing/piping diameter. Refer to "System Installation" section for recommendations.

5. Objectionable blended water odor.

Prefiltration cartridge(s) exhausted. Replace prefiltration cartridge(s).

6. Waste water flow too low or decreases over time.

Drain line restricted. Check/correct any restrictions in drain line tubing. Make sure to allow for an air gap at the drain. Disconnect reject line at quick-connect fitting and inspect for obstruction or damage. Remove obstruction. Replace if required.

Insufficient system inlet pressure. Check/repair booster pump and inlet line.

7. Pressure limit warning error.

Electrical connector at the pressure transducer not fully engaged.

Check electrical connector engagement with pressure transducer.

RO permeate pressure exceeds 114 psi (0.79 MPa). Check for restriction/blockage in permeate line causing abnormally high pressure. Relieve pressure in permeate line and correct restriction/blockage condition.

RO cartridge bypassing. Measure RO permeate flow and TDS, then compare to previously recorded values or system specifications. High permeate flow and/or poor TDS reduction indicates excessive passage of water around or within the RO cartridge. Remove the RO cartridge and check the integrity of all three (3) o-ring seals and correct as needed. If seals appear OK, replace the RO cartridge. After making the repairs, press any key on controller to clear the fault, then recheck RO permeate flows and TDS, then compare to previously recorded value or system specifications. If the fault reappears after returning to normal operation, replace controller and/or pressure transducer or contact Pentair® Everpure® Technical Support for further assistance.

35 EVERPURE® CONSERV® HE-3 RO SYSTEM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE 35

MAINTENANCEThe Everpure® Conserv® HE-III System requires very little maintenance. Regular cartridge replacement, system recovery verification, and sanitization are the only normal maintenance requirements. Typical service schedules are as listed below.

Every 12 Months (Recommended)Replace all of the cartridges and sanitize the permeate storage tank.

Switch and valve starting positions:• Power - OFF• Soft Water Inlet Valve - CLOSED• Hard Water Inlet Valve - CLOSED• Blended Water Outlet Valve - CLOSED

1. Remove the cover on the Conserv HE-3 RO System.

NOTE: When the cartridges are removed, water will leak from the heads. Be prepared to catch or clean up any spills.

2. OPEN the outlet valve. Use the application equipment to release water pressure. CLOSE the outlet valve.

3. Have the new replacement cartridges ready to install. Remove all the old cartridges by grasping the outside of the cartridge. Push up and turn it to the left until it stops. The cartridge will then pull straight down and out.

4. Refer to "Prefilter and RO Cartridge Installation and System Start-up" on page 12. Perform Steps 1 through 14.

5. Refer to the section " 7 Prepare Storage Tank" on page 14. Perform Steps 2 through 17.

6. Refer to the section "10 Flush Everpure Postfilter Cartridge" on page 16, Perform Steps 1 through 10.

The system is ready to run. Use application blended water for five (5) minutes and test the TDS. If the measured TDS reading is not within the required specification of the application, then the blend should be adjusted.

7. To adjust the TDS of the blended application water, refer to the " 11 Adjust The Blending Valves" on page 16.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENTSCheck for compliance with state and local laws and regulations.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water. System must be maintained according to manufacturer’s instruction, including replacement of filter cartridges.

This system contains a replaceable mineral reduction (RO) module critical for the effective reduction of total dissolved solids.

Blended water should be tested periodically to verify that the system is working properly.

This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and containment reduction performance.

Recovery rating refers to the percentage of the influent water to the membrane portion of the system that is available to the user as reverse osmosis treated water when the system is operated without a storage tank or when the storage tank is bypassed.

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.
