- Ensure adequate space under the sink for the main unit and faucet.
- Confirm water pressure is within the recommended range (typically 15-60 psi).
- Locate a suitable power outlet for the system.
3.2. Installation Steps (General Overview)
- Tanqueu el subministrament d'aigua: Locate and turn off the cold water supply valve under your sink.
- Install Feed Water Adapter: Connect the feed water adapter to the cold water line.
- Instal·leu l'aixeta: Drill a hole (if necessary) in the sink or countertop for the ALK faucet. Secure the faucet.
- Install Drain Saddle: Attach the drain saddle to the drain pipe to connect the drain line from the RO system.
- Mount Main Unit: Place the main RO unit in the desired under-sink location.
- Connexió de tubs: Connect the various color-coded tubes from the feed water adapter, faucet, and drain saddle to the corresponding ports on the main RO unit.
- Instal·lar filtres: Ensure all filters are correctly seated in their compartments.
- Encès: Plug the system into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Sistema de buidatge: Slowly turn on the cold water supply. Open the ALK faucet and allow the system to flush for approximately 15-30 minutes to remove air and carbon fines. Check for leaks.
4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1. Dispensació d'aigua
To dispense purified water, simply turn on the ALK faucet. The tankless design ensures fresh water is filtered on demand, eliminating the need to wait for a storage tank to fill.
Figura 4.1: The ALK faucet provides remineralized, pH-balanced water.
4.2. Understanding the ALK Faucet
The ALK faucet incorporates a dedicated ALK filtration stage. Aquest stage adds essential macro-minerals and trace elements back into the purified water, which can help maintain the body's acid-base balance and improve water taste.

4.3. Using the TDS Meter
The included TDS meter allows you to monitor the quality of your filtered water. TDS refers to the total concentration of dissolved substances in water. Lower TDS values generally indicate purer water.
- Encès: Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn on the TDS meter.
- Sonda d'immersió: Dip the meter's probe into a sample of your filtered water (or tap water for comparison).
- Visualització de lectura: The digital display will show the TDS reading in parts per million (ppm). It can also display temperature and electrical conductivity (EC).
- Interpretar els resultats: A green display indicates TDS below 40 ppm, while a red display indicates TDS at or above 40 ppm, suggesting potential filter replacement or water quality issues.

Figura 4.4: The TDS meter is designed for easy use and clear readability.
Figura 4.5: The TDS meter's color-coded display for quick water quality assessment (Green: TDS < 40 ppm, Red: TDS ≥ 40 ppm).
The TDS meter can be used for various applications beyond monitoring your RO system, including testing drinking water, pools, spas, aquariums, and hydroponics.

5. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your RO system. This primarily involves timely filter replacement.
5.1. Substitució del filtre
The SimPure Q3-600A system utilizes multiple filters, each with a recommended replacement schedule. Refer to the system's indicator lights or your TDS meter readings to determine when filters need changing.
- Pre-Filters (CF): Typically replaced every 6-12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
- RO Membrane (RO): Typically replaced every 24-36 months, depending on water quality and usage.
- Post-Filter (ALK): The ALK filter in the faucet has its own lifespan, usually 6-12 months.
Procediment:
- Turn off the water supply to the RO system and unplug the power cord.
- Release any residual pressure by opening the ALK faucet until water stops flowing.
- Twist and pull out the old filter cartridge.
- Insert the new filter cartridge, ensuring it is properly seated and twisted into place.
- Turn on the water supply and plug in the power cord.
- Flush the system as per initial installation instructions to remove air and carbon fines from new filters.
