RU500T35 w/UV
Five Stage Reverse Osmosis System with UV Disinfection for Difficult Well Water Applications

Enjoy quality RO filtered water at your dispenser.
Properly specified for extremely difficult well water of known quality with very heavy sediment, particulate water and/or high total dissolved solids, the RU500T35 w/UV is a five-stage undercounter reverse osmosis system designed to filter the water at your sink of choice. Three stages to protect and filter prior to the TFC membrane serves to remove suspended matter, dirt, rust and sediment and improves performance of other filters. The GAC postfilter removes chlorine and other volatile organic compounds, improving taste, clarity and odor. The TFC membrane removes inorganics, minerals, total dissolved solids, lead and cysts (giardia and cryptosporidium). The additional UV module protects against bacterial, viral, E-coli, and other microorganisms and is tested 99% effective*. This unit produces up to 35 gallons per day and includes a 3.2 gallon storage tank.

*Meets or complies with NSF Standard 42, 58 and 55.

Safeguards and kills bacterial, viral, E-coli, and other microorganisms Improves Taste, Clarity and Odors Removes Chlorine and VOCs Reduces Total Dissolved Solids, Minerals and Inorganics Reduces Lead and Cysts (Cryptosporidium and Giardia) Reduces Dirt, Silt, Sediment and Rust Replaces Costly Bottled Water Replaces the Limited Applications of Faucet Attachments and Water Filter Pitchers Quality Filtered Water for Drinking and Cooking

EWS RO filtration protects you and your family.

Drinking and cooking Installs easily at any sink, wet bar or any point of use location Can be cross-connected (if applicable) to refrigerators, ice makers and other appliances** Units come with chrome, lead-free faucet (other faucet finish options available) Powder coated and corrosion resistant Bracket mounts easily onto a wall or inside a cabinet Quick-connect fittings for easy installation 10" heavy duty housings to protect filter integrity Units comes with full sized, full bed depth filters for optimum performance and longer life Replacing filters once a year is easy with the included spanner wrench (simply spin housing off, replace filter, spin housing back on)

**Reverse Osmosis may void the warranty on other product and/or appliances that are cross-connected. Please consult with manufacturer of other product.

Proper Application: Reverse Osmosis on Difficult Well Water Water.
Make sure your well water is completely and independently tested and that a reverse osmosis system is right for you and your application. Unlike most municipally treated water supplies, well water may have contaminants not normally found in "city" water and therefore reverse osmosis may be applicable*.

If you are considering this unit on municipal water than you are over specifying the product. Two (2) of the filters in this unit exist to protect the RO membrane from adverse water conditions and are not there to protect you. A wrong application you will get more filters and not better filtration...!

For most applications and for most people the UU250 drinking water filtration system is an excellent compliment to most city tap water or municipally-treated water systems. The EWS or CWL Series of whole home central water filtration systems are the best option for the entire home and for all uses. However, due to aggressive marketing, reverse osmosis may be a familiar term but is generally misunderstood as a filtration product.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) are a more aggressive form of filtration where water is pushed through a membrane to reject inorganic contaminants as well as naturally found calcium and magnesium minerals. The items that these systems reject are highly regulated through your municipal treated water and therefore the RO may be misapplied in many instances.

On municipal water, If you like a more stripped down or flatter tasting water this system may be for you. If you need the fluoride that is added to some municipal water removed due to allergic reactions this system may be for you.

RO is the way to remove the salts that softeners put in. Please be aware RO systems have been heavily marketed by softener salespeople and the industry and associations that support door-to-door sales. Ironically, the common reason for filtration is to improve taste and odor and yet without the carbon filters the RO system would not provide this expectation or the quality of this form of filtration. Considering RO systems waste water in order to produce water and they take up more valuable storage space and cost more to maintain it is our goal to provide information in order for you to choose the right system for you.

The most common reverse osmosis system applied correctly in this five stage category is the RU500T35 w/BP that incorporates an integrated booster pump in order for the system to reject contaminants at the specified rejection rates.** The upgrade of this unit is the RU500T35 w/BP w/UV for the additional safeguard against bacteria, viruses, E-coli, and other microorganisms with the booster pump. For other filtration at the point of entry, please see well water product options and for whole-home applications, if applicable, see EWS or CWL Series.

*Based on local water conditions and usage. Well water needs to completely and independently tested and submitted to EWS for proper product specification.

**Booster Pump: The booster pump is used with a reverse osmosis system to boost inlet water pressure over the membrane to 40 PSI. The unique design features of the pump provide superior performance characteristics to deliver a near constant “boost” pressure to the RO membrane in low inlet water pressure applications or extreme conditions that effect pressure over the membrane.

Booster pumps enhance RO systems in the following ways:

Monitoring performance Improving membrane efficiency Conserving water Conserving power Shutting down the pump when continuous product water is not necessary

Booster pumps are recommended in reverse osmosis applications where feedwater pressure is less than 40 PSI. Feedwater high in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) may need a boost, in order to perform within rejection parameters.
