A method of integrating individual water treatment assemblies into a seamless water treatment control system. A Reverse Osmosis assembly contains a controller wherein all other pretreatment and post-treatment assemblies are electrical coupled thereto. The controller is preprogrammed for use in recognizing the coupling of the pretreatment and/or post treatment assemblies wherein and for receiving all control commands for operation thereof. The controller employs cells that allows and installer to interconnect assemblies by coupling low voltage control signal wiring having predefined inputs, set up as PnP, or by use of a personal wireless network.

1. A method of integrating water treatment assemblies to facilitate operation of a reverse osmosis assembly, comprising: providing at least one reverse osmosis assembly and a master controller;fluidly coupling at least one water treatment assembly to said reverse osmosis assembly;providing an information chip on the at least one water treatment assembly, the information chip storing identification information corresponding to operating characteristics of the at least one water treatment assembly;connecting, on a wireless personal area network, said at least one water treatment assembly to said reverse osmosis assembly master controller;said master controller monitoring and controlling said at least one water treatment assembly based upon operational characteristics of said reverse osmosis assembly, the master controller configured to receive the identification information and automatically recognize all operating characteristics of said at least one water treatment assembly upon the connecting of said at least one water treatment assembly;whereby said master controller provides operational instructions to each said water treatment assembly based on the operational characteristics of said reverse osmosis assembly. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one water treatment assembly includes at least one water softener. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein upon recognition of said water softener, said master controller is preprogrammed to control regeneration based on water hardness and water quantity. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said master controller is coupled to a network for communicating with a remotely located computer, (a) further comprising said remotely located computer receiving a graphic display and assembly operating characteristics from said master controller over said network,(b) further comprising said remotely located computer receiving a history of assembly operation from said master controller over said network, and(c) further comprising said remotely located computer transferring control parameters to said master controller over said network. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the network comprises the wireless personal area network. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the network comprises the internet. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein said network comprises an internet accessible web site. 8. The method of claim 4, wherein said graphic display including a step of directing at least one of said graphic display and said operating characteristics to an email server. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said water treatment assembly includes at least one booster pump under control of said master controller. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said water treatment assembly includes at least one back washable filter under control of said master controller. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said water treatment assembly includes at least one break tank under control of said master controller, said master controller controlling fluid level in each said break tank. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein said water treatment assembly includes at least one chemical feeder under control of said master controller. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein water treatment assembly includes at least one storage tank. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein said water treatment assembly includes at least one distribution pump under control of said master controller. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein said post treatment assembly includes at least one hank of deionizer tanks having a bank switchover electrically coupled to said master controller, said master controller controlling said bank switchover for selectively controlling fluid flow through each said bank of deionizer tanks. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein said master controller graphically displays each of said at least one water treatment assemblies coupled to said reverse osmosis assembly on a graphic display. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said graphic display displays at least one of flow rates, quality of reverse osmosis permeate, and quality of deionizer tanks permeate. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein said graphic display includes storage tank assembly levels including time for filling of said tank and time for emptying of said tank. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein a pre-programmed computer retrieves operating parameters from each of said at least one water treatment assemblies during assembly installation, said master controller operating each assembly for operational efficiency. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein said operating parameters are characterized by model, valve type, valve size, and capacity. 21. The method of claim 1, further comprising electrically coupling said at least one water treatment assembly to said reverse osmosis assembly master controller. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein said electrically coupling between assemblies is low voltage to control valve actuators and high voltage for control valves. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein said master controller includes configurable software running on a networkable computer. 24. The method of claim 1, wherein said master controller is preprogrammed to operate each said water treatment assembly. 25. The method of claim 1 wherein said master controller includes configurable software running on a networkable computer, said at least one water treatment assembly interfacing with said software.
