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 Nimbus recommends replacing the membrane when TDS reduction falls below 75 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 has been designed for installation by licensed professionals such as a contractor or plumber ae Replacement Part P Interval Number 4 Stage Cartridge 1 20 micron sediment prefilter 2 Granular activated carbon GAC
