Maintaining Your A200 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. The performance of this cartridge can
be monitored using an optional tap-mounted A200 Performance Monitor or
by having your system periodically tested by an authorized Kinetico dealer.
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.
