Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest Drinking Water Systems available to homeowners.

This Owner’s Manual is designed to assist with the operation, maintenance, and installation of the Ultrefiner II System.

It is our sincere hope that this manual is clear, concise, and helpful to you as a new owner.

Questions? If you have any questions regarding the installation, operation or servicing of this system, please contact

your local RainSoft Dealer. Your RainSoft Dealer will be familiar with your particular situation, your water conditions,

etc. and should be able to address your concerns promptly and efficiently.

Product Information

Your RainSoft Ultrefiner II system provides several stages of treatment

to provide you with the best possible drinking water.

The components of the system are:

Pre-Filter

The pre-filter is a combination carbon/sediment filter. It removes most

suspended solids 10 microns or larger in size and also reduces incoming

chlorine levels.

Ultrefiner II Membrane Cartridge

The membrane cartridge consists of a semi-permeable membrane

wound in a spiral to fit a large membrane area into a compact diameter.

This membrane filters on a molecular level and reduces dissolved inor-

ganic solids in the water such as lead, chromium and copper. It will also

reduce cysts, such as cryptosporidium, which have been known to cause

outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness. Since the filtration process is so

fine, the system continuously flushes water across the surface of the

membrane while producing drinking water. The incoming water stream

is split, with some water passing through the membrane as treated water

while the water that flushes the membrane to keep it clean flows to the

drain.

Air Pressured Storage Tank

Since the water passes through the membrane too slowly to satisfy your

instantaneous demand for water, the system includes a storage tank.

This storage tank contains a rubber bladder and is similar to the tank on

a well system, but smaller. Water passing through the membrane

(“permeate”) is sent to one side of the bladder, while the other side is

pressurized with air (about 8 psi when empty of water). As the tank fills

with water, the air is compressed, providing the pressure needed to

dispense the water when your drinking water faucet is opened. A

hydraulic shutoff valve built into the filter housing assembly automati-

cally turns off flow through the system when the tank is full, and turns

the water back on as the tank is emptied.

Post-Filter

When the water leaves the storage tank on its way to the faucet, it passes

through a carbon block post-filter. This filter is specially formulated to

reduce volatile organic compounds (i.e. VOC’s), Chloramine and

Chlorine. See the performance data sheet for the specific VOC’s this

system is rated to reduce. VOCs include compounds such as benzene,

lindane, and trihalomethanes. The post-filter also serves as a "polishing

filter," the final step in removing any tastes or odors.

Putting it all together, your RainSoft Ultrefiner II system gives you

multiple lines of defense to protect the drinking water your family relies

on.

about California certified models.

Components Requiring Periodic

Replacement

Pre-filter

The pre-filter reduces chlorine and removes most particles and sediment

as small as 10 microns in size from the water supply. The pre-filter requires

periodic replacement every 12 months after installation. Your water

quality and water usage may affect this replacement schedule. Please refer

to the chart on page 14 for replacement part numbers.

Ultrefiner II Membrane Cartridge

The Ultrefiner II membrane cartridge is a spiral wound, semi-permeable

membrane that requires periodic replacement approximately every 24 to

36 months after installation. Your water quality and water usage may affect

this replacement schedule. A water test for TDS reduction is the best indi-

cator of membrane performance. Please refer to the chart on page 14 for

replacement part numbers.

Post-filter

The post-filter will remove unwanted tastes and odors from the water. The

post-filter requires periodic replacement every 12 months after installation

to maintain VOC and Chloramine reduction. Your water quality and

water usage may affect this replacement schedule. Please refer to the chart

on page 14 for replacement part numbers.

!

Important Note: This Ultrefiner II System

contains replaceable treatment components,

critical for the effective reduction of total

dissolved solids (TDS). The product water

should be tested periodically to verify that the

system is performing properly. See your local

RainSoft Dealer for details.

Additional Specifications

• The inlet water should be free from iron, manganese, and sulfur.

• This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing

pentavalent arsenic (also known as AS (V), As (+5), or arsenate) at

concentrations of 0.30 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 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 suffi-

cient to ensure complete conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent

arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the performance data

sheets for further information.

• Do not use this product 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.

• This system must be installed in accordance with all applicable state

and local laws and regulations.

• This system must be installed in an area not affected by extreme heat,

cold or the elements. The selected installation area must be adequate for

easy service of all parts.

• This system is designed to treat cold water only. The installation must

be on a cold water supply.

3. Push-IN Tubing Connections:

For all tubing connections on the system, follow these steps to be sure that

the tube is properly installed in the fitting:

•Slightly lubricate the tube with silicone before pushing into the fitting.

•It is important that the tube be fully inserted to the proper depth. You

may measure from the end of the tube & use a marker to put a line as a

guide.

•See figure 8 for proper installation practice & depth on each connection.

!

Important Note: Ultrefiner II tank port and

outlet port use double o-rings. If you see a leak

from one of these ports, remove the tube and

look into the port to see that both o-rings are

properly aligned, leaving a clear path for the

tubing. If one of the o-rings is moved out of posi-

tion, it may block tube insertion. Please push it

back into position before inserting the tube.

4. Install the Faucet

• Select a location for the faucet to be mounted.

• Drill a hole according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Mount the faucet per instructions.

• If using faucet air gap, press drain line tubing onto faucet.

• Use 3/8 inch tubing (not supplied) to connect the faucet to the system

outlet. Make sure the flow restrictor is installed in the 3/8 inch tubing

(not supplied) connected to the outlet of the Ultrefiner II system.

5. Install the Inlet Shut Off Valve (Not Supplied)

• Turn off the cold water supply and open the cold water faucet to relieve

any line pressure;

• Install an inlet shut off valve (not supplied) between the existing shut

off valve and the kitchen faucet, in a way that conforms to state and

local plumbing codes;

• Use 1/4 inch tubing (not supplied) to connect the inlet shut off valve to

the system inlet.

6. Install the Storage Tank

• Before installation of the storage tank, unscrew the cap on the air valve

(located on the bottom of the tank) and check the air charge in the tank

to ensure that it has 5-7 psi of pressure;

• Select a location for the storage tank. The storage tank can be installed

vertically or horizontally;

• Wrap PTFE Thread Sealant Tape (not supplied) around the threads

of storage tank ;

• Install the shut off valve (supplied) onto the storage tank. The shut off

valve must be in the open position;

• Use the 3/8 inch x 4 foot tubing (supplied) to connect the storage tank

shut off valve to the tank port on the Ultrefiner II Bracket. Additional

tubing may be required pending tank location to location of

Ultrefiner-II Bracket.

Helpful Tip: If the desired installation location is

in the basement, the storage tank can be

mounted in between the floor joists. The closer

the storage tank is to the Ultrefiner II bracket

assembly, the greater the flow of water.

The storage tank can be installed vertically or

horizontally.

!

Important Note: The inlet shut off valve must

have a 1/4 inch tube connection.

Helpful Tip: Although the tanks are shipped with

a 5-7 psi pre-charge, environmental conditions

such as temperature and altitude can have an

effect on the pressure inside the tank and may

need to be adjusted.

Depending on location, additional air can be

added to help deliver water to locations further

away from the system.

Adding air to the tank beyond the 7 psi charge

will decrease the volume of water that the tank

can hold. It is recommended not to exceed 15psi.

For installations where the reverse osmosis water

is being fed to ice makers and refrigerators with

indoor water dispensers that require higher pres-

sures for proper function, the addition of a vari-

able speed delivery pump is recommended.

7.Connect the Drain Outlet

Use 1/4 inch tubing (not supplied) to connect the drain outlet to the

appropriate drain connection.

8. Secure the Connections

Attach the red locking clips (supplied) to the connection fittings.

If the system is mounted under a kitchen sink,

an air gap faucet will be required. If the

system is mounted in a different location, a

non-air gap faucet may be used, along with a

separate air gap device on the drain line.

9. After SYSTEM START UP

Because the Ultrefiner II bracket assembly and cover are reversible, the

cover is designed with removable side panels for tube routing. Choose

the correct side panel to remove based on the installation.

• Remove the side panel by cutting with knife or clippers.

• Place cover onto Ultrefiner II and ensure tubing is correctly secure to

the one side of the Ultrefiner II bracket assembly.

System Start Up

1. Turn on the Water Supply

Allow the system to start filling with water.

2. Fast Flush the System

Open the Ultrefiner II faucet and turn the drain barrel to the fast flush

(“F” on the drain barrel)position (see figure 12).

3. Reposition the Drain Barrel

Once the air has been purged from the system, position the drain

barrel in #2 service position(see figure 13). The storage tank will

continue to fill with water.

The drain barrel must always be positioned with the arrow pointing at

numbers 1 – 4 or “F.” In each location, a hole of fixed size is positioned

internally over the drain connection, controlling the flow rate for that

setting. Do not position the drain barrel between settings, as this does

not provide any fine tuning and may even block drain flow by putting an

internal seal directly over the drain connection.

Position “0” shuts off drain flow. The system should never be left in

position “0,” as this will cause the membrane to foul. This position is

provided only as a diagnostic tool.

4. Check for Leaks

If a leak is present, make the necessary repairs.

5. Fill the System

When the water stops flowing to the drain, the system should be fully

pressurized and the storage tank should be filled with water.

6. Drain the Storage Tank

Open the Ultrefiner II faucet and drain all the water from the storage

tank.

!

Important Note: It is common to experience

cloudy water, cloudy or hazy ice cubes and/or

air bubbles when the system is new or after the

filters/cartridges have been changed. This is

simply due to air trapped in the system which

will soon dissipate.

Helpful Tips: Maintaining a fresh water supply

in the storage tank will promote better opera-

tion of the membrane cartridge.

When you go on vacation, close the cold water

inlet valve. When you return from vacation,

open the cold water inlet valve, drain the

storage tank and fast flush the system.

!

Important Note: This procedure will flush any

remaining residue from the storage tank.

!

Important Note: The 24 hour flush will ensure

the proper rinsing of the Ultrefiner II

Membrane.

Figure 12

Figure 13

Helpful Tips: In both the fast flush and # 2 posi-

tion, the ears of the drain barrel are aligned with

the mounting screws. To make it easier to iden-

tify positions, there is a raised rib at the “F” posi-

tion. (See Figure 13)

!

Important Note: NSF certified performance data,

as shown on the Performance Data Sheet, is

based on operation at Drain Setting # 2.

Certification results do not apply to other

settings.

13

7. Complete the Installation

• If a 24 hour-flush pre-installation is not performed by your local

dealer, it is important to open the faucet and let the system run to

drain or 24 hours first.

• After the 24 hour water flush , close the Ultrefiner II faucet and allow

the storage tank to fill with water. When the storage tank is full, the

system will be ready for operation.

Routine System Maintenance

If the incoming water to your Ultrefiner II system is very poor (for

example: high hardness, high dissolved solids, high iron), you can help

maintain the system's operation by periodically performing this

flushing procedure:

Drain Your Storage Tank

Open the Ultrefiner II faucet and let the water run until the flow turns

into small drips. Close the Ultrefiner II faucet. The Drain flow will

continue to run until your tank has been refilled.

Flush the Membrane And Drain Line

While refilling your storage tank, turn the Drain Dial to the F position.

(See Figure 12 on Page 11.) This will increase the volume of drain

water flushing through the membrane. Once your tank has refilled

(typically 2 -3 hours), the Drain flow will shut off. You should then

turn the Drain Dial back to its previous setting.

Periodic System Maintenance and

Testing of Your Water

Nitrate Reduction

If you are relying on this system for nitrate reduction, we recommend

testing your water periodically (2 times a year minimum) with a

nitrate test kit (supplied) to ensure that the system is performing

properly.

Additional nitrate test kits (part number 12061) can be purchased

from your local RainSoft Dealer.

VOC/Chloramine Reduction

If you are relying on this system for VOC/ Chloramine reduction, we

recommend testing your water periodically (2 times a year minimum)

to ensure that the system is performing properly. Your local RainSoft

Dealer can arrange this testing for a nominal fee.

Cyst Reduction

If you are relying on this system for cyst reduction, we recommend

testing your water periodically (2 times a year minimum) to ensure

that the system is performing properly. Your local RainSoft Dealer can

arrange this testing for a nominal fee.

Other Health Reduction Claims

If you are relying on this system for any other health claims, please

refer to the performance data sheets on pages 17 thru 19. See your

local RainSoft Dealer for additional information.

!

Important Notes: Nitrate reduction units are

acceptable for treatment of influent

concentrations of no more than 27 ppm nitrate

and 3 ppm nitrite in combination (measures as

“N”) and are certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction

only for water supplies with a pressure of 40 psi

or greater.

14

Helpful Tips: To avoid contamination, we

recommend the use of sterile gloves while

changing the system components.

When changing the membrane cartridge,

verify that the rubber brine seal and O-rings

are secure and in place. Always lubricate the o-

rings with a NON-PETROLEUM based lubricant

to ensure the longevity of the o-rings. Never

over-tighten the housing to the cap _HAND

TIGHT ONLY!

!

Important Note: It is important to maintain

the quality of your system by using only

genuine RainSoft replacement filters and

cartridges. Other “made-to-fit” alternative

filters and cartridges claim to perform the

same duties as the original RainSoft parts, but

these items are not approved for use in your

system! “Made-to-fit” alternative filters and

cartridges will increase the probability of

leaks, putting your entire system at risk! Also,

many aftermarket replacement filters are not

tested for safe contact with drinking water.

When “made-to-fit” alternative filters and

cartridges are placed into your RainSoft

Ultrefiner II Premium Drinking Water System,

the product warranty will become null and

void and the system will lose its NSF certifica-

tion. To guarantee proper operation and certi-

fication of your RainSoft Ultrefiner II Premium

Drinking Water System, please use genuine

RainSoft parts.

How to Change the Filters

1. Turn off the cold water supply to the Ultrefiner II system.

2. Close the storage tank shut-off valve and then open the Ultrefiner II

faucet.

3. Place a drip pan or bucket if necessary to catch the water from the

filter canisters to prevent spillage.

4. To replace the filters, use a Slim Line Spanner Wrench (not supplied)

to unscrew the filter housings from the cap (see figures 14).

5. Replace the filters and reassemble (see helpful hints).

6. Once assembled, turn the drain barrel to F position. (see figure 12 on

page 11).

7. Turn on the inlet water to the Ultrefiner II system.

8. Open the storage tank valve and Ultrefiner II faucet. Allow the water

system to flush for 15 minutes.

9. Turn the Drain Barrel back to predetermined number setting

and turn off the faucet and allow a minimum of 2 hours for the tank

to fill up. If you have replaced the membrane, please open the faucet

after 2 hours to drain the first tank of water. This will properly flush

the membrane.

Important Note: When Unscrewing Filter

Housings use of Slim Line Spanner Wrench is

required. Unscrewing filter housings with use

of other unapproved tools can damage the

filter housings and void warranty.

!

Important Note: It is recommended that the

sump o-rings be replaced on each filter change

to insure proper compression of the o-ring,

failure to do so may result in over tightening of

the sump to create a seal and can cause undue

stress on the sump and cap that can lead to

cracking of these components under pressure.

1. THESE SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR THE TREATMENT OF WATER

CONTAINING PENTAVALENT ARSENIC (ALSO KNOWN AS As(V), As(+5),

OR ARSENATE) AT CONCENTRATIONS OF 0.30 mg/L OR LESS. THIS SYS-

TEM REDUCED 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 AT THE SYSTEM

INLET OR ON WATER SUPPLIES THAT HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO

CONTAIN ONLY PENTAVALENT ARSENIC. TREATMENT WITH CHLORAMINE

(COMBINED CHLORINE) IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO ENSURE COMPLETE CON-

VERSION OF TRIVALENT ARSENIC TO PENTAVALENT ARSENIC. PLEASE

SEE THE ARSENIC FACT SECTION OF THE PERFORMANCE DATA SHEET

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

2. THE ULTREFINER II IS ACCEPTABLE FOR TREATMENT OF INFLUENT

CONCENTRATIONS OF NO MORE THAN 27 MG/L NITRATE AND 3 MG/L

SURE OF 280 KPA (40 PSIG) OR GREATER. ADDITIONAL TREATMENT OR

INDIVIDUAL DESIGN SHALL BE REQUIRED FOR HIGHER INFLUENT LEV-

ELS. IF YOU ARE RELYING ON THE ULTREFINER II FOR NITRATE REDUC-

TION, WE RECOMMEND TESTING YOUR WATER PERIODICALLY (2 TIMES A

YEAR MINIMUM) WITH A NITRATE TEST KIT (SUPPLIED) TO ENSURE THAT

THE SYSTEM IS PERFORMING PROPERLY. ADDITIONAL NITRATE TEST

KITS (PART NUMBER 12061) CAN BE PURCHASED FROM YOUR LOCAL

RAINSOFT DEALER.

3. EFFICIENCY RATING MEANS THE PERCENTAGE OF INFLUENT WATER TO

THE SYSTEM THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE USER AS REVERSE OSMOSIS

TREATED WATER UNDER OPERATING CONDITIONS THAT APPROXIMATE

TYPICAL DAILY USAGE.

4. 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.

5. REDUCTIONS SHOWN ARE FOR VOLATILE ORGANIC CHEMICALS/COM-

POUNDS (VOC) AS PER NSF TABLES. CHLOROFORM WAS USED AS A

SURROGATE FOR VOC CLAIMS REDUCTION. THE ACTUAL REDUCTION
