DESCRIPTION
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The EvolutionROTM is a customized Reverse Osmosis water lter that is made in the USA. This
system is capable of reducing up to 95% of most contaminants. This system is designed and built
for use with hydroponic or horticultural applications. This system is built to give the maximum
amount of ow from the membrane while sending less waste water to the drain, compared to
similar RO lters. Please read the following setup and maintenance guide to get the maximum
results from your lter.

• Do not use this product to make safe drinking water from non-potable water sources. Do not use the system
on microbiologically unsafe water, or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after the system.
• Temperature of the water supply to the EvolutionROTM must be between 40°F - 100°F (4°C - 38°C). Do
not install on hot water lines.
• High levels of certain contaminants in the incoming water may prematurely foul the membranes and/or
the pre-lter. Softened water is recommended for optimal system performance and RO membrane life.
• The black drain line must be unrestricted at all times.
• Keep out of direct sunlight or high intensity lights, which degrade the housing and ttings over time. Protect
unit against freezing to prevent cracking of the lter housing and water leakage. Replace housings every
three years. (HL 23115 See page 4).
• When replacing lter cartridges use the lter wrench to remove housing. Do not use the wrench to tighten
the housings. Hand tighten the housings only. Take care not to over-tighten.
• Do not install where leakage or failure may cause damage to property.
• If you are going to store or not use your EvolutionROTM for an extended period of time (2 weeks+), it is
recommended that you remove your membranes, seal them in plastic and put in refrigerator.
• Keep the lengths of tubing short. Longer lengths of tubing will decrease inlet pressure and ultimately system
performance.
• Do not use grease containing petroleum products.
• When the system is initially turned on, water may temporarily sputter until all the air is purged. Allow up to
4 hours for any trapped air noise in the system to subside.
• EvolutionROTM lter housings must be replaced every 3 years.
PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS:
The flow rate of product water can drastically decrease due to low psi and low temperature,
especially in the winter. In some cases with cold temperature and/or low pressure predicted
flow rate can drop by as much as 50% or more. A combination of cold water and low
pressure can drop flow rates even further. This is the case with all RO technology and is not
unique to the EvolutionROTM. The ratio of waste water to product water can also get drastically
worse due to low pressure and low temperature. You can overcome some of these issue by
increasing pressure with our optional booster pump (HL 29014 See pg. 12)) or by increasing
inlet temperature.
We do not recommend hooking the RO system up to your hot water tank lines because hot water tanks contain lots
of minerals and the water can be too hot. A safe way to increase temperature is with an on demand or flash style
water heater set at below 100°F (37.7°C). For people with adequate pressure but decreased water temperature a
flash water heater is a great way to increase flow rates.

ChloraShieldTM (HL 22019): The carbon filter reduces sediment and certain chemicals, such as
chlorine and chloramines from the water. Depending on water use and the amount of impurities,
this lter should be replaced a minimum of 2,500 gallons of puried water produced.
EvolutionROTM membrane (HL 22045): The functional life of the EvolutionROTM membranes will vary
based on feed water quality. Product water should be tested periodically to verify the membranes are
performing properly. For most applications, the EvolutionROTM membranes should be replaced every
6 months to two years.

EVOLUTION-ROTM INSTALLATION
STEP 1:
Put a thin layer of lube on the o-rings of the 3
housings, and both o-rings on the 2 membranes.
Be sure to completely cover the o-rings.
Apply lube here
Apply lube here
STEP 2:
Install carbon lter. The lter can
only be installed in the manifold
in the position shown. The other
two openings in the manifold
are for the membranes.
STEP 5:
Lube the o-rings on
each of the 3 elbow
connector ttings
and push them into
the corresponding
STEP 6:
Install the manifold lock bar clip by matching
symbols on the clip to symbols on the manifold
(square to square, arrow to arrow).
STEP 3:
Once the housing
is hand-tight, crank
down one quarter
turn with the wrench.
There’s no need
for the ange on
the bottom of the
housing to come
in contact with
the ange on the
manifold.
STEP 4:
Install RO membranes.
Carefully push the rst
membrane into the
position shown. Push it
straight down into the
hole of the manifold
until both o-rings are
seated in the hole.
Install housing over
membrane. Do not
rock membrane back
and forth to install.
Repeat this step for
second membrane.
Tighten
ports on the manifold as shown. The back
of each elbow connector tting has a
symbol that corresponds to the symbol
next to the manifold ports.

STEP 8:
Install the Support Leg/Housing Wrench,
as shown.
Never install the shut-off valve on the
black waste water line! This has to be able
to drain waste water freely and without
obstruction.
STEP 10:
Install blue puried water tubing and black
waste water tubing into corresponding elbow
connector ttings as shown. The inline shut-off
valve should only be installed on blue puried
water line to shut system off/on.
STEP 9:
Install the white inlet tubing by pushing the tubing
into pressure gauge tting. Push the garden
hose inlet tting onto other end of
tubing. This tting is compatible
with garden hoses and hose
bibs.

STEP 7:
Install the pressure gauge assembly. Push the
short length of tubing into the left side of the
gauge. Push the other end of the
tubing in to the elbow
connector tting
as shown.

PERFORMANCE
TFC Membrane
Rejection Chart
The TFC membrane rejection chart can
be very helpful as a general guideline,
but is not a guarantee. Every water
source has a different chemistry,
temperature and TDS, and it is best to
test your water thoroughly to determine
your unique water prole.
A good place to start is EWG.org,
just type in your zip-code to determine
what contaminants (if any) you may
be dealing with.

Connecting QC Fittings:
Push tubing rmly into the tting, all the way until the tube stops. The collet (gripper) has stainless
steel teeth which hold the tube rmly in position while the O-ring provides a leak proof seal. Pull
tubing to check for security. If some tube pulls out, then push it all the way in again until it stops. It
is good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.
Disconnecting QC Fittings:
Ensure system is depressurized before removing ttings then push in the collet evenly against the
face of the tting. With the collet held in this position the tube can be removed by simply pulling.
You can use a collet release tool (HL 24010, available from your dealer). The tting can then be
re-used. If the tubing has been removed several times you may see score marks on the ends, and
this can lead to leaks. It is best to cut the end off of the tubing with a sharp blade, being careful to
cut straight across. Any angle to the cut can cause a leak.
