 GoldLine Manual Introduction
The Goldline RO System conforms to NSF/ANSI Standards 58
for performance claims as verified and sustained by test data. All pre and
post filtration demands were removed prior to contaminant reduction
performance testing by the Water Quality Association laboratory.

The Goldline reverse osmosis drinking water system is designed for easy installation and maintenance. You will insure a successful
installation as well as reliable operation by carefully reading this manual and following the operational guidelines. Please note
that routine maintenance is essential to the longevity and performance of the system. Filters should be changed every six months
(see below) depending on the quality of the feed water supply. The Goldline RO installation should comply with all state and
local laws and regulations. Manufacturer recommends a TDS test every six months by your authorized dealer. This system
is acceptable for treatment of influent concentrations of no more that 27 mg/L nitrate and 3 mg/L nitrite in combination measured
as N and is certified for nitrate/nitrite reduction only for water supplies with a pressure of 40 psig or greater. Manufacturer
recommends a Nitrate/Nitrite test every six months by your authorized dealer. This reverse osmosis system contains a
replaceable component critical to the efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse osmosis component should be with one
of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and contaminant reduction performance.

 Activation, Care, & Troubleshooting
Activating the System For the First Time
Make sure all water supply/drain lines are secure and free from leakage. Slowly turn the saddle valve counterclockwise
until fully open. Check stem seal for leakage. If necessary tighten stem nut lightly. Turn storage tank valve one quarter
turn counterclockwise to open the valve (the handle should be in line with the tubing as it enters the connection). Open
the product water faucet and let the water flow until all the air has been expelled from the system. This will take about
an hour. Close the product water faucet. In 30 minutes, check the connections for leaks and correct if necessary.

Replacement Filter Procedures

Before starting the filter replacement shut off cold water supply, drain the storage tank by turning on the RO faucet,
and shut off the storage tank ball valve. Once you have completed the preparation, first begin by twisting the housings
counter clockwise with a filter wrench and remove the old filters. Then wash out the inside of the housing with mild
soap and a few drops of household bleach and rinse out thoroughly. Finally, lube the O-ring on the filter housing, insert
the new filters, and screw on the housing in a clockwise direction.

System Sanitization
It is recommended to sanitize your system once per year when you are changing the filters. Start by shutting off the
cold water supply and draining the storage tank by turning on the RO faucet. Once this is completed remove the filters
and membrane and put 1/2 teaspoon of household bleach in the sediment filter housing. Then run water through the
system until water begins pouring out the RO faucet. Close the faucet, allow the bleach to remain in the system for three
minutes, and then slowly drain the water from the system for five minutes. Finally, reinstall the filters and membrane.
