GENERAL

WARNING:

Do not use with water that is microbiologically

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate

disinfection before or after the system.

Systems certified for cyst reduction* may be

used on disinfected waters that may contain

filterable cysts.

*NSF/ANSI Standard 58 certified to reduce cysts such as

Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means.

CAUTION

RO System must be protected against freezing,

which can cause cracking of the RO components

and water leakage.

NOTE:

• Your water must be within required limits for satisfactory

operation. If not, your membrane life may be shortened and

your warranty will be voided (see Specifications on page 3).

• This reverse osmosis system will not protect against

disease-causing bacteria or remove naturally-occurring

harmless bacteria.

• Install on cold water line only.

• Make certain that installation complies with all state and

local laws and regulations.

• The replacement cartridges and reverse osmosis element

included with this system have limited service lives. Changes

in taste, odor, and color of the water being filtered indicate

that the cartridge should be replaced.

• After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a

vacation) it is recommended that the system be flushed for 5

minutes before it is used.

• A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very

fine black powder). After installation, flush the system for 5

minutes to remove the carbon fines before using the water.

• It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds

prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes.

• The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced

by this water treatment device are not necessarily present in

your water.

HOW REVERSE OSMOSIS WORKS

The GRO-350B/GRO-350M Reverse Osmosis (RO) System uses

a semi-permeable membrane to reduce dissolved salts and

minerals, improving the taste and odor of your water. The RO

membrane is made of layers of micron-thin film wound around

a hollow center core. Water molecules can pass through the

membrane, but dissolved salts and minerals are rejected.

The GRO-350B/GRO-350M Reverse Osmosis System features

3-stage filter action. Your water supply is pre-filtered to

reduce dirt and chlorine that may foul the membrane. The RO

membrane separates this pre-filtered water into PRODUCT

WATER and DRAIN or REJECT WATER. Incoming water

pressure forces the product water through the membrane and

into the storage tank. Dissolved solids and other contaminants

cannot pass through the membrane and are sent to the drain

as reject water. When you open the drinking water faucet,

product water is drawn from the storage tank through an

activated carbon post-filter, providing you with cleaner, great-

tasting water.

For each gallon of water produced, several gallons are

discharged as reject water. The storage tank can hold up to

2.1 gallons (7.9 L) of water at a time, for drinking and cooking

needs. When used under the Specifications on page 3 of the

manual, your Reverse Osmosis membranes should last 12-24

months.

PRECAUTIONS

4 • FRESHPOINT GRO-350B/GRO-350M Installation and Operation Manual

INSTALLATION

• Please read all instructions and precautions before installing and using

your GRO-350B/GRO-350M.

• For standard, under-sink installation on 3/8" (9.52 mm) steel, brass, or

copper cold water line.

• When selecting a mounting location of the system and tank, take into

consideration the length of tubing required for connections between existing

plumbing and system components. Some installation sites may require

more tubing than provided in the kit.

• Numbered diagrams correspond with numbered steps.

1. Installing the Water Supply Adapter

The supply adapter fits 1/2"-14 NPS supply threads or

3/8" x 3/8" compression. If local codes permit, it may be used to connect the

system to the cold water supply line. If local codes do not permit the use of the

supply adapter, alternate connectors can be obtained from your local supplier.

Directions:

(A) Turn off cold water supply line. If cold water line does not have a shut-off

valve under the sink, you should install one.

(B) Turn on the cold water faucet and allow all water to drain from line.

(D) Ensure the sealing gasket is fully seated into the feed adapter valve female

thread.

(E) Install feed adapter valve onto supply valve as desired. The feed adapter valve

may be installed at the bottom of the supply hose or the top of the cold water

line. Hand tighten only.

2. Selecting the Faucet Location

The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function, convenience, and

appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is required to allow faucet base to rest

securely. The faucet fits through a 3/4" hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1-3⁄8" or

1-1⁄2" diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these pre-drilled

holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to

drill a 3/4" hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.

CAUTION

This procedure may generate dusts which can cause severe irritation if

inhaled or come in contact with the eyes. The use of safety glasses and

safety mask for this procedure is recommended.

CAUTION

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN SINK. If

you have an all-porcelain sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer

hole or drill through countertop next to sink.

CAUTION

When drilling through a countertop, make sure the area below the

drilled area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that you have

ample room to make the proper connections to the bottom of the

faucet.

CAUTION

Do not drill through a countertop that is more than 1" thick.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or similar

countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer for

advice or assistance.

The following instructions apply to stainless steel sinks ONLY.

(A) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent shavings, parts or tools from

falling down the drain.

(B) Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to help prevent scratches if

drill bit slips.

sink.

(D) Use a 1-

⁄4" hole saw to enlarge hole. Smooth rough edges with a file.

3. Mounting the Faucet

WARNING:

Due to variance in installation sites, it is highly recommended to

install the 1/4" red drain tubing to the RO system manifold before

fully mounting the faucet. Make note of the 1/4" red drain tubing

length required to reach from the RO system manifold to the

faucet connection and plan accordingly in relation to mounting

location of system components. Furthermore, the 1/4" red drain

tubing includes a flow controller installed in one end of the

tubing. The end of the tubing with the flow restrictor must be

securely installed into the RO system manifold before attaching to

the faucet. DO NOT cut off the flow restrictor.

11. System Start-up

NOTE: The reverse osmosis membrane is treated with a food grade sanitizing

agent that may cause an undesirable taste. Although it is not harmful, it

should be flushed from the system.

NOTE: The post-polishing filter may contain fine black carbon particles. These

fines are harmless, but may make the water appear gray in color. The

carbon fines are flushed from the system with the first tank full of water.

NOTE: The RO system does not produce a high volume of water on demand as an

ordinary filter does. Water is produced at a slow, drop-by-drop rate. The

system requires about 2 to 4 hours to fill the storage tank. As water is

taken from the tank, the system automatically starts the cycle of replacing

the water and then stops water production when the tank is full.

CAUTION

Visually check the entire system for leaks.

If a leak is present, see

Troubleshooting on page 14.

(A) Turn off valve at top of storage tank.

(B) Turn on the cold water supply slightly, and ensure the supply adapter valve is

open.

(D) Completely open the cold water supply until it comes to a stop. Allow water

to drip from the faucet for 12 more hours. Then close the faucet and open the

valve on the storage tank. The tank valve is open when the handle lines up

with the tubing connection.

(E) Allow 3 hours for the tank to fill. Continue to periodically check the

installation for leaks. After the storage tank is filled, open the faucet to flush

the post-filter cartridge. Allow 4 to 5 minutes for all of the water to drain from

the tank. Close faucet and allow tank to fill.

(F) Repeat step E four times.

NOTE: Initially, the water may appear cloudy. This is a result of air trapped in

the post-polishing filter. It is not harmful and will disappear in a matter

of minutes. It may take up to a week after installing a new post-polishing

filter for the trapped air to dissipate.

The system is ready for operation. You can now enjoy quality water from your

Reverse Osmosis System.

IMPORTANT:

Read this performance data and compare the capabilities of

this system with your actual water treatment needs.

It is recommended that before installing a water treatment

system, you have your water supply tested to determine your

actual water treatment needs.

This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 58 for the

reduction of substances listed below. The concentration of the

indicated substances in water enteringthe sysem was reduced

to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit

for water leaving the system as specified in NSF/ANSI 58.

The GRO-350B/GRO-350M shall only be used for arsenic

reduction on chlorinated water supplies containing detectable

residual free chlorine at the system inlet. Water systems using

an in-line chlorinator should provide a one-minute chlorine

contact time before the RO system.

WARNING:

Do not use with water that is microbiologically

unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection

before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction

may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable

cysts.

NOTE: Substances reduced are not necessarily in your water.

Filter must be maintained according to manufacturer’s

instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.

The tested efficiency rating for these systems is 22.05%.

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.

The tested recovery rating is 38.65%. Recovery rating means

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.

The GRO-350B/GRO-350M has been tested for the treatment

of water containing pentavalent arsenic [also known as As(V),

As(+5), or arsenate] at concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less.

This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove

other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water

supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual or on

water supplies that have been demonstrated to contain only

pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined

chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete conversion

of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the

Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for

Arsenic Fact Sheet

Arsenic (abbreviated As) is found naturally in some well

water. Arsenic in water has no color, taste or odor. It must

be measured by a lab test. Public water utilities must have

their water tested for arsenic. You can get the results from

your water utility. If you have your own well, you can have

the water tested. The local health department or state

environmental health agency can provide a list of certified

labs. There are two forms of arsenic: pentavalent arsenic [also

called As(V), As(+5), and arsenate] and trivalent arsenic [also

called As(III), As(+3) and arsenite]. In well water, arsenic may

be pentavalent, trivalent, or a combination of both. Special

sampling procedures are needed for a lab to determine what

type and how much of each type of arsenic is in the water.

Check with the labs in your area to see if they can provide

this type of service. Reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment

systems do not remove trivalent arsenic from water very well.

RO systems are very effective at removing pentavalent arsenic.

A free chlorine residual will rapidly convert trivalent arsenic to

pentavalent arsenic. Other water treatment chemicals such as

ozone and potassium permanganate will also change trivalent

arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. A combined chlorine residual

(also called chloramine) may not convert all the trivalent

arsenic. If you get your water from a public water utility,

contact the utility to find out if free chlorine or combined

chlorine is used in the water system. The GRO-350B/GRO-

350M system is designed to remove pentavalent arsenic.

It will not convert trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic.

The system was tested in a lab. Under those conditions, the

system reduced 0.050 mg/L (ppm) pentavalent arsenic to

0.010 mg/L (ppm)(the USEPA standard for drinking water)

or less. The performance of the system may be different at

your installation. Have the treated water tested for arsenic to

check if the system is working properly. The RO component

of the GRO-350B/GRO-350M system must be replaced every

12-24 months to ensure the system will continue to remove

pentavalent arsenic. The component identification and

locations where you can purchase the component are listed in

the installation/operation manual.

CÓMO FUNCIONA LA ÓSMOSIS INVERSA

El sistema de ósmosis inversa (RO) GRO-350B/GRO-350M utiliza una

membrana semipermeable para reducir las sales y los minerales

disueltos, y así mejorar el gusto y olor de su agua. La membrana RO

está hecha con una película micro delgada bobinada alrededor de un

núcleo central hueco. Las moléculas de agua pueden pasar a través

de la membrana, pero se rechazan las sales y minerales disueltos.

El sistema de ósmosis inversa GRO-350B/GRO-350M cuenta con una

acción de filtro de 3etapas. Su suministro de agua se prefiltra para

reducir la suciedad y el cloro que pueden contaminar la membrana.

La membrana de ósmosis inversa separa esta agua prefiltrada en

AGUA DE PRODUCTO y AGUA RECHAZADA o DE DESAGÜE. La presión

del suministro de agua provoca que el agua de producto pase a través

de la membrana y entre al tanque de almacenamiento. Los sólidos

disueltos y otros contaminantes no pueden pasar a través de la

membrana y son enviados al desagüe como agua rechazada. Cuando

abre la llave de agua potable, el agua de producto se extrae del tanque

de almacenamiento a través de un posfiltro de carbón activado,

brindando así agua más limpia y con mejor sabor.

Por cada litro de agua producida, varios litros se desechan como

agua rechazada. El tanque de almacenamiento puede almacenar

hasta 2.1 galones (7.9 litros) por vez, para beber y cocinar. Cuando

se usan según las Especificaciones de la página 18 del manual, las

membranas de ósmosis inversa deberían durar de 12 a 24 meses.
