2. Replace the ROmembrane cartridgewhen thepercent rejectionof totaldissolved solids(TDS) isless thanshown
in the specifications (see B, below).
If any of the following occur before the 6 months, replace as directed.
A. Slow Making of ProductWater: Replace the prefiltercartridge.
If the production ratedoes notimprove, replacethe postfiltercar-

C.ChlorineTasteand/orOdor:Replacetheprefilter,postfilterand
RO membrane cartridges.
B. High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in Product Water: You can
get a free TDS test through some Sears retail stores or service
departments. If the store or service department does not have a
TDSmeter, you cansend treatedand untreatedwater samplesto
a water analysis lab for testing. It is important to test both the
