GROWMAX WATER MEGA GROW 1000 Reverse Osmosis system Up to 300 GPD (1000 L/D) of Pure Water User Manual

GROWMAX WATER MEGA GROW 1000 Reverse Osmosis system Up to 300 GPD (1000

L/D) of Pure Water

Product Information

The MEGA GROW 1000 Garden Reverse Osmosis water system is designed for use with hydroponic or garden applications. This system is capable of reducing up to 99% of most contaminants and can produce up to 300 gallons per day (1000 liters per day) of pure water. The system includes a membrane housing, purified water line (blue), waste water line (black), automatic shut-off valve, and flow restrictor. The system also includes a MaxPurTM sediment filter, CleenGreenTM carbon filter, reverse osmosis membrane, pressure gauge, and outlet tubing. A shut-off valve is included for easy maintenance. The system should not be installed where the source/inlet pressure may be more than 80 psi (5 kg/cm2) or where there are excessive water hammer/spike problems. If your inlet pressure is more than 80 psi, install a pressure regulator available at your local hardware store. The unit should also be protected against freezing.

Performance Parameters

• The system requires a minimum of 40 psi to properly operate
• A booster pump kit is available as an option in case of low pressure and is necessary if your pressure is below 40 psi
• The higher the inlet pressure, the better the flow
• The first minute of RO water produced are higher in PPM than after the system has run a few minutes

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the 3/8 white inlet tubing into the 3/8 fitting on the filter housing on the right side of the system
2. Connect the 1/4 blue purified water tubing to the outlet of the Automatic Shutoff valve
3. Connect the 1/4 black waste water tubing to the outlet of the flow restrictor
4. Connect the included garden hose adapter to your source water on the other end of the 3/8 inlet tubing
5. Slowly turn on the source water until both the carbon and sediment filters have water in the housings. Do not exceed 80 psi
6. Flush the system for 15 minutes when the system is new and/or when you replace your membrane
7. Upon initial start up of the system, it may take up to 24 hours for the PPM & pH of the purified water to stabilize

Description

The MEGA GROW 1000 Garden Reverse Osmosis water system is capable of reducing up to 99% of most contaminants. This system is designed for use with hydroponic or garden applications. This system is built to give the maximum amount of flow from the membrane. Please read the following setup and maintenance guide to get the maximum results from your system.

System Includes

1. Membrane Housing
2. Purified Water Line (Blue)
3. Waste Water Line (Black)
4. Automatic Shut-off Valve
5. Flow Restrictor

Note:
Do not install the unit where the source/inlet pressure may be more than 80 psi (5 kg/cm2) or there are excessive water hammer/spike problems. If your inlet pressure is more than 80 psi, install a pressure regulator, available at your local hardware store.
Protect unit against freezing!

Set-Up

System Set Up:

1. Main unit
2. Inlet tubing with garden hose connector
3. MaxPur™ sediment filter
4. CleenGreen™ carbon filter
5. Reverse osmosis membrane
6. Pressure gauge
7. Outlet tubing
8. Shut-off valve

Initial Set Up:

1. Push in the 3/8″ white inlet tubing into the 3/8” fitting on the filter housing on the right side of the system.
2. Connect the 1/4” blue purified water tubing to the outlet of the Automatic Shutoff valve.
3. Connect the 1/4” black waste water tubing to the outlet of the flow restrictor.

You are now ready to connect the included garden hose adaptor to your source water on the other end of the 3/8” inlet tubing. Upon initial start up of system, slowly turn the source water on until both the carbon and sediment filters have water in the housings. Next, open source water up all the way (do not exceed 80 psi). Flush the system for 15 minutes when the system is new and/or when you replace your membrane.
Note: It may take up to 24 hours of running the system for the PPM & pH of the purified water to stabilize.

How to Connect and Disconnect Tubing to Quick Connect Fittings

• To connect tubing, push tube firmly into the fitting connector all the way until the tube stops. Try to pull the tube out to check the security. If the tube pulls out, then push all the way in again
• To disconnect tubing, first make sure the system is depressurized by turning off inlet water. Push in the collet that holds the tube into the fitting connector. While pushing in the collet, you can now simply pull out the tubing

By following these instructions, you can get the maximum results from your MEGA GROW 1000 Garden Reverse Osmosis System.

To disconnect the tubing. First make sure the system is de-pressurized by turning off inlet water. Push in the “collet” that holds the tube into the fitting connector. While pushing in the collet you can now simply pull out the tubing.

Important Information & Performance Parameters

The flow of purified water is determined by the GPD rating of the membrane, inlet pressure, inlet temperature, and inlet PPM. The MEGA GROW Reverse Osmosis system has the capacity to produce up to 300 GPD (1000 liters per day). The parameters for optimum operation are: Water temperature 25ºC, Inlet water pressure 3 to 5 kg/cm2 and water quality of 550 ppm or less.
You will notice in colder areas or in the winter, when water temperatures are lower, that the flow rate will be slower. If your inlet pressure is less than 60 psi, you may experience less than the rated 300 GPD flow rate. A minimum of 40 psi is required to properly operate the system. The higher the inlet pressure, the better the flow . A booster pump kit is available as an option in case of low pressure and is necessary if your pressure is below 40 psi. The RO membranes included with the filter can handle water up to 1000 PPM and with a hardness of 170 PPM or 20º hf of hardness. Note that this is considered both very contaminated and very hard water and may shorten the life of your membrane.

Note: The first minute of RO water produced are higher in PPM than after the system has run a few minutes.
