PRO-RO 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis System System tested and certified by the Water Quality Association against NSF/ANSI Standard 58 for the reduction of substances specified on the performance data sheet. 3060 Performance Circle, Suite 2, Deland, FL 32724 877-842-1635, www.pelicanwater.com RevA: 0119 Introduction to the PRO-RO Congratulations on your purchase of the PRO-RO six stage reverse osmosis system. The PRO-RO features a four-stage prefilter, membrane and postfilter housed in a single cartridge. The final two stages consist of a granular activated carbon polishing filter and a calcite remineralizing filter. When properly maintained, this system will provide you with years of trouble-free service. The next sections contain important information on the proper care and maintenance of your system, please take a few minutes to read through this information. The cartridges in this system must be replaced on a regular basis to maintain efficiency and to ensure high water quality. These cartridges work together and must be replaced every 6-12 months. Any significant change in performance of the system should be investigated promptly to avoid secondary damage or deterioration to other parts of the system. Normally, the reverse osmosis membrane is replaced during an annual filter change. However, if at any time you notice a reduction in water production or an unpleasant taste in the reverse osmosis water, it could be time to replace the membrane. Pelican recommends replacing the membrane when TDS reduction falls below 85%. In order to ensure the system is functioning properly, a water sample must be sent in to Pelican every 6 months for a free di- agnosis of your membrane performance. To send a water sample, use two clean containers and fill one with 1/2 cup of tap water and the other with 1/2 cup of RO water. Clearly label each sample. Send the samples to Pelican Water Systems, 3060 Performance Circle, Suite 2, Deland, FL 32724, Attn: “Water Sample Testing” along with your contact information. Pelican will test the samples and contact you with the results. CAUTION: Improperly installed systems could result in water damage due to leaks or flooding. Proper installation of this system requires familiarity with standard sink plumbing and proper use of common hand and power tools. If you are not familiar with standard sink plumbing and proper use of common hand and power tools or have any difficulty with the installation of this system, consult a licensed professional, such as a contractor or plumber. NOTE: This system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.

Limitations and Responsibilities Pelican's obligation to the customer under these warranties shall be limited, at Pelican's option, to replacement or repair of Covered Items by these warranties, labor is not covered. These warranties do not cover replacement filter cartridges, elements or lamps. Prior to return or repair of Covered Items, the customer must obtain a return goods authorization number from Pelican by/at and at Pelicans option, return the Covered Items freight prepaid. Any Covered Item repaired or replaced under these warranties will be returned prepaid standard freight to the original point of shipment. Expedited freight options are available at customer expense. No warranty is made, and is explicitly excluded, with respect to defects or damages due to neglect, misuse, alterations, accident, misapplication, physical damage, or damaged caused by fire, acts of God, or freezing. These warranties apply only to the original registered owner so long as the owner owns/lives in the home in which the unit was originally installed. Customer must register their system with Pelican within 90 days of purchase* in order to obtain a warranty. Warranty will discontinue after the unit is removed from the location where it was originally installed. Warranty begins on the date of delivery of product to the customer. Improper maintenance of system (ie not replacing filters or media, for example) on time will be considered "neglect" and explicitly excluded from the warranty. Installation of any system on water conditions outside of or beyond the recommended specs of any system voids any warranty. Pelican gives this warranty to the original owner/customer in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or treatment of certain water and hereby expressly disclaims all other such warranties. THE WARRANTIES PELICAN GIVES IN THE ABOVE PARAGRAPHS ARE EXCLUSIVE, PELICAN DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF WORKMANLIKE PERFORMANCE. Pelican's liability hereunder shall not exceed the cost of the product. Under no circumstances will Pelican be liable for any incidental or consequential damages or for any other loss, damage or expense of any kind, including loss of use, arising in connection with the installation or use or inability to use the Covered Items or any water treatment system the Covered Items are incorporated into. These warranties are governed by the laws of the state of Florida and may change at any time without notice.. *Failure by California and Quebec residents to complete the product registration form does not diminish their warranty rights. **For all orders placed on or after June 3rd, 2011.

The concentration of the indicated substances in water leaving the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 58. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disin- fection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts. This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as AS(V), As+5 , or arsenate) at concen- trations of </= 300 ppb. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not reduce other forms of arsenic. This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual at the system outlet 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 further information. Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary. Incoming water must be free of potential membrane foulants such as Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese. 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. 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.
