A200 Drinking Water System
Maintaining Your Drinking Water System
NOTE: You must follow the A200 Drinking Water System's operational, maintenance and
replacement instructions to ensure proper system performance. Recommended
hardness is zero to 10 gpg for extended product life. Do not use where water is
microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality. Systems claiming cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected water containing filterable cysts.
The A200 Drinking Water System must be properly maintained to continue providing
high quality drinking water.
Shutting Off the System
If you should ever discover a problem with your drinking water system, turn off the
water supply to the system. Then call your authorized Kinetico dealer for service. If
you plan to be away from home for more than a few days, shut off the water supply to
your system to extend its life. You may also want to drain the drinking water storage
tank upon your return to ensure the freshest water.
Booster Pumps
Some households require booster pumps to ensure that adequate feed pressure is
being supplied to the system. Unplug or turn off the power supply to any pumps
before attempting to service your system.
Filter Changes
An average family of four with average drinking water use can expect the prefilter
and postfilter cartridges to last approximately nine months to one year. Kinetico
recommends annual cartridge replacements for these cartridges. The reverse osmosis
membrane cartridge should be replaced when the system stops properly reducing
dissolved solids.
Your local, authorized Kinetico dealer will change your cartridges, completely
sanitize your system, check your water and make sure your system is operating
properly. If you choose to install your new cartridges yourself, follow the
instructions carefully. Never attempt to remove any of the system's cartridges
without first depressurizing the system. Be sure to completely sanitize
your system by following the instructions provided in the "Sanitization
Procedure" section of this owner's manual to prevent contamination from
human contact.
