Once your Oasis RO System is on-line, the day to day operation is very simple.
You should check the salt level in the brine tank daily and add salt as required. Once per week test to ensure the
water is free of chlorine. This can be checked from the test cock located on top of the carbon filter. You should
also check the water for hardness to ensure the proper operation of the water softener. Water must be at zero grains
hardness. During normal operation, the system will operate automatically and does not require any further
attention.
The Oasis RO System is basically two systems in one. The first system produces pure water. The other system
delivers the pure water to the wash bays.
RO MEMBRANE SYSTEM
The RO Membrane is nothing more than a very fine filter. This filter (membrane) is so fine that it simply removes
the minerals from the water and allows only the pure water to pass (permeate) through the membrane.
Since the membrane is so fine, a pump must be used to pressurize the water to approximately 200 PSI to force the
water through the membrane. As with any filter, after time the membrane could become clogged (fouled) with
minerals, grease or dirt and not allow any further passage of the pure water through the membrane and into the
holding tank. Since the membranes are very fine and fouling can occur, a water softener is used to soften the
incoming water and the carbon filter is used to remove the chlorine. Chlorine will damage the membrane, and
prolonged exposure can cause permanent damage.
To keep fouling from happening, a certain amount of water must be used to flush past the surface of the membrane
and rinse the build-up of minerals from the membrane surface. This water is then recirculated through the
membrane pump system and used over. After several passes by the membrane, the recirculating water becomes
very saturated with minerals. It must therefore be discarded. To ensure smooth continuous operation, an orifice is
located in the recirculation system and a controlled amount of water is rejected from the system to drain (reject
water) on a continuous basis as long as the membrane pump is running. The amount of reject water is controlled by
the orifice located in the plumbing in the lower portion of panel. See schematic for its location. The amount of
reject water is set at the factory and should only be changed after consultation with the factory. The amount of
water going to drain can be monitored in the REJECT WATER FLOW METER.
The pure water (PRODUCT WATER) that permeates through the membrane is then stored in the stainless steel
product water holding tank. As the water level reaches the top of the tank a float switch will shut off the membrane
pump, thus stopping the production of pure water. Once the water level is reduced a sufficient amount, the float
switch will start the membrane pump and once again fill the tank with pure water.
If you operate the Oasis system 24 hours per day you will find that the water softener will regenerate at
approximately 2 o'clock AM. The system will receive city water to the Oasis system during the time that the water
softener regeneration takes place. This should be avoided. Do not allow the storage system to run at this time, as
it will cause membrane damage. The normal regeneration time is about 2 hours. You may wish to check the
softener manual for more detailed information concerning the operation of the water softener.
DELIVERY SYSTEM OPERATION
The Delivery System consists of a pump capable of producing pressure up to approximately 150 PSI using the water
from the pure water holding tank. The electric control panel and wash bay switches control the pump.
Should the water level fall below the low water level switch in the water holding tank, the delivery pump shuts off
until the water level is restored.
1. Chlorine test weekly. The chlorine level should remain at zero to prevent permanent damage to the RO
Membranes.
2. Water hardness test weekly. The water hardness should remain at zero, to prevent premature fouling of the RO
Membranes.
INSTALLATION
1. Select a location where the required utilities are easily accessible.
2. Check the incoming water pressure prior to installing the RO System. Should the water pressure be less than 40
PSI, a booster pump may be required (consult factory). If the incoming water pressure exceeds 100 PSI it will be
necessary to install a pressure-reducing valve.
3. Normal electrical requirements for this system are 240/480 volt 3-phase 10/20-amp service. Controls are located
in the main electrical enclosure.
4. Make the drain line connection (1/2 inch) to a floor drain near the RO system. Should a drain not be available in
close proximity to the RO system, you can run the drain line overhead to a drain located elsewhere in the building
(Max height 8' above base). Please refer to sketch for the location of this connection.
5. The final connection to make is the pure water connection from each wash bay to the RO manifold located on the
upper right end of JETSTREAM MODULE.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Charging the system with water is the first step in starting up the RO system. Check to be sure that the
manual service valve is in the off position (customer supplied).
2. Make sure the power is turned off.
3. Install a temporary jumper wire between terminal number 5 and number 76 (solenoid valve).
4. Remove sediment filter and housing, being careful to not lose the o-ring.
5. Turn off the 3-phase contactor for RO storage pump.
6. Turn on the power to control panel.
7. Partially open the service valve to flush the dust out of the charcoal tank. If this step is skipped, you may
cause the sediment filter to foul prematurely.
8. Allow charcoal filter to flush slowly for approximately fifteen minutes.
9. Close the service valve therefore shutting off the water supply, turn off control power and then remove the
jumper between terminal number 5 and number 76.
10. Reinstall the sediment filter and housing.
11. Turn on control power.
12. Caution! Make sure water softeners have been regenerated before charging system (water should test 0
grains hardness).
13. Make sure the ½” permeate pure water hose is connected to the bottom plumbing of the pure water holding
tank.
14. Turn off the RO 3-Phase contactor. This will enable the storage pump and allow water to flow and expel
all air from the system (air bubbles can be seen through flow meters on front door).
15. The upper float switch in the pure water holding tank must be in the down position.
16. Turn on the service valve slowly, checking for air bubble again in flow meters.
17. Now check pump for correct rotation by watching shaft (may seen at about mid position of storage
pump), while someone else bumps RO pump contactor momentarily.
18. See pump for correct rotation. CAUTION! Do not run pump for more than 5 seconds in the event rotation
is wrong, as this can cause sever damage to the pump. When the rotation is correct, the PUMP
CONTACTOR can now be turned to run position. The high-level float switch must be in the down position
for the pump to run. There is about an 8 second delay before the pump will start.
19. Once the system is producing water, adjust the pressure to about 200 PSI. See Schematic for pressure
regulator location.
20. Water should begin to fill the pure water holding tank
21. Make sure the high-level float switch will shut the system down automatically. Manually raise this switch
by hand, which should shut down the system. Again lower the high-level float switch and the system will
restart after the 8-second delay.
22. While the storage tank is filling, use the water test kits. Take a sample of water from the water sample
valve and check for chlorine and hardness. It is extremely important that the RO membrane(s) be supplied
with chlorine-free, soft water. Both of the readings should be zero. If they are not, discard the water in the
storage tank until the water becomes pure.
23. After the storage tank has filled with pure water, make sure the hand valve in the supply line to the delivery
pump from the storage tank is fully open.
24. The RO System is now in full automatic operation.

❏ A low-pressure, flexible cloth braid (not metal braid) hose should be used from
the by-pass connection to the inlet of the pump.
❏ Caution should be exercised not to undersize the by-pass hose diameter and
length. Refer to Technical Bulletin 64 for additional information on the size and
length of the by-pass line.
❏ Check the pressure in the by-pass line to avoid overpressurizing the inlet.
❏ The by-pass line should be connected to the pump inlet line at a gentle angle of
45° or less and no closer than 10 times the pump inlet port diameter
e.g. 1-1/2" port size = 15" distance from pump inlet port.

WEAR protective clothing and eyewear when dispensing chemicals or other materials.
ALWAYS observe safety and handling instructions of the chemical manufacturers.
ALWAYS direct discharge away from you or other persons or into approved containers.
ALWAYS dispense cleaners and chemicals in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Exercise CAUTION
when maintaining your equipment.
KEEP equipment clean for proper operation.
WEAR protective clothing and eyewear when working in the vicinity of all chemicals, filling or emptying equip-
ment or changing metering tips.
ALWAYS re-assemble equipment according to instruction procedures. Be sure all components are firmly screwed
or latched into position.
Installation:
1. Select a metering tip (see next three sections) and insert it into the suction stub on the eductor body.
2. Attach the end of the discharge tube with the clamp and flooding ring to the discharge barb on the eductor. Since the
HydroMinder 506 does not have a siphon breaker, you may want to drill a small hole (1/8" or 1/4" ID) in the discharge
tube, above the highest solution level and below the discharge end of the eductor. This will allow the discharge tube
to drain after each cycle.
3. Mount the unit in a level position on the side of the reservoir. The U-clamp may be repositioned or removed as necessary.
4. Insert the foot valve end of the suction tube into the concentrate container. (The level of the concentrate must be below
the level of the eductor, or the proportioner will continue to siphon concentrate after it is turned "off".)
5. Slide the open end of the suction tube over the suction stub.
6. Adjust the bead chain length to position the float at the desired level of solution. To prevent foaming, be certain that
the solution level will always be above the point of discharge. Be sure float mechanism is not hampered by water
turbulence caused by discharging solution. It may be necessary to baffle the float from the discharge in order for the
unit to work properly.
7. Install a minimum 1/2-inch ID water hose between the inlet threads and the water spigot. Minimum water pressure re-
quired to properly operate the proportioner is 25 PSI (flowing).
Measurement of Concentration:
You can determine the dispensed water-to-product ratio for any metering tip size and product viscosity. All that is required
is to operate the primed dispenser for a minute or so and note two things: the amount of dispensed water/product mixture,
and the amount of concentrate used in preparation of the solution dispensed. The water-to-product ratio is then calculated
as follows:
Dilution (X) = Amount of Mixed Solution — Amount of Concentrate Drawn
Amount of Concentrate Drawn
Dilution ratio, then, equals X parts water to one part concentrate (X:1). If the test does not yield the desired ratio, choose
a different tip and repeat the test. Alternative methods to this test are 1) pH (using litmus paper), and 2) titration. Contact
your concentrate supplier for further information on these alternative methods and the materials required to perform them.

Operation:
Open the water supply ball valve. When the solution in the reservoir reaches the level set by the float, the valve will close.
This will stop the water flow and siphoning of concentrate. When withdrawal of solution from the reservoir causes the level
to drop more than 1-1/2 inches, the valve will open, and the reservoir will be refilled to the previous, pre-set level. This cycle
will be repeated automatically until the supply of concentrate is depleted. The ball valve should be fully closed when
changing metering tips or concentrate container, when reservoir is drained, or when the unit is not in use.
Troubleshooting:
* In hard water areas, scale may form at the discharge of the eductor. This scale may be removed by
soaking the eductor in a descaling solution or by running the descaling solution through the system. If
descaling solution is educted through the system, flush the unit by educting water only before returning
the system to regular use.

The MILLENIUM series can be installed anywhere, but the following points should be taken
!
into consideration.
Do not install if : the atmosphere is excessively dusty, conductive, corrosive, gas-laden,
damp, wet or inflammable, or subject to excessive heat*, excessive shocks or vibrations.
Do not install the module in water or near any possible leaks.
Protect the module from external debris during installation.
Separate the cables and power equipment as far as possible. The MILLENIUM series module should be installed
in cabinets which adhere to standard DIN 43880.
• For sufficient module ventilation, allow a space of 10 mm between the front of the module and the cabinet
door, and likewise between the base of the cabinet and the bottom of the module.

4. Connection
The MILLENIUM series has been designed with ease of connection in mind. A technician or
!
engineer with experience of national and local electrical standards should be able to connect
MILLENIUM series modules to the sensors and actuators without difficulty.
• The input and output cables should not be in the same wiring harness.
• Keep the input/output wiring harnesses well away from the power wiring harnesses.
• Use cables which are suitable for the application.
For the inputs / outputs use conductors : 0.13 mm² - 3.31 mm² (26 - 12 AWG).
Strip back the conductor by 7 ± 0.5 mm.
For an AC power supply, the phase should be connected to the L terminal and the
Neutral to the N terminal. Never connect the phase to the N terminal, as the user could
receive a dangerous electric shock.
For a DC power supply, the positive conductor should be connected to the ‘+’ terminal
and the negative conductor to the ‘-’ terminal.
The power supply terminals should not be connected to the other module terminals.

Installation Instructions
1. The valve should be installed by a licensed contractor in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. This valve should be installed where it is accessible with
sufficient clearance for cleaning, service, or adjustment.
2. Before installing the valve, be sure that the pipe ends are reamed and threads are
cut to size. For valves with Quick-Connect tailpieces refer to "Quick-Connect
Installation" instructions below.
3. Flush the lines to remove all loose scale, dirt and other foreign matter that can
damage or clog the valve. N55BU-M1
4. Install the regulator with the arrow on the body pointing in the direction of the flow.
5. Regulator may be installed vertically or horizontally (upright or inverted).
6. Start Up — Open cold water supply then hot water supply. Inspect for leaks.
Note: The valve should be inspected annually to assure maximum life and
performance.

Thermal expansion occurs whenever water is heated in a N55B-RK Module
closed system. The system is closed when supply pressure
exceeds 150psi, or a check valve or backflow preventer is
installed in the supply piping.
You must make provisions for pressure relief protection of your
plumbing system and components. The use of a
relief valve such as the Watts 530C, BRV,
Governor 80, or 3L or potable water expansion
tank such as the Watts DET, PLT or DETA may be
required.
To determine if this is the result of thermal
expansion, try briefly opening the cold water
tap. If the increased pressure is caused by
thermal expansion, the pressure will immedi-
ately be relieved and the system will return
to the set pressure. Watts offers a pressure
test gauge, model 276H300 to assist you in
determining if you have high water pressure.
Watts 276H300 The 276H300 when attached to a hose bibb
registers the highest pressure reading over
the period of time it is left on the system.
