The unit also must be flushed to remove air and the
shipping/storage solution. For maximum quality, the
permeate water produced during the flushing procedure
must be discarded. Direct this permeate water to drain.
1. Plug the power cord into the appropriate electri-
cal outlet. The display will power on and the LED
display will display the following for about two sec-
onds each:
•
8.8
•
F8
followed by its time settings in seconds
•
Fi
and its time setting in minutes or hours.
The
F8
and
Fi
sequence repeats for 30 seconds
after which the unit automatically returns to the
Flush Interval Mode (
Fi
). The time setting for
Fi
will
be displayed and the decimal point will flash in one
second intervals.
2. open the tap or faucet closest downstream to the
filter system.
3. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to enter the system.
4. Press and hold the Start button. After 6-7 sec-
onds, the drain valve will open and
FL
will appear
on the display.
5. Continue holding the Start button down for at least
30 seconds to keep the drain open. This flushes
air out of the center of the hollow fibers. The
drain will remain open as long as the Start button
is pressed. Check to make sure that the drain
water is directed into the drain without splashing.
6. Release the Start button. This closes the drain
valve. Water should continue to flow through the
system and out of the open tap. Allow water to
flow out of the tap for at least 15 minutes at maxi-
mum flow rate.
7. Close the tap and let the system stand with no
water flow for 15 minutes to allow any trapped air
to come out of the hollow fibers. Check for leaks
at all fittings.

The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible
contamination that may have occurred during the instal-
lation process. Chlorine bleach can be used to sanitize
the plumbing. The amount of bleach to use depends
on the system installed and the amount of plumbing
downstream of the filter system. Generally, 1 or 2
ounces (30 ml) of bleach will be sufficient to sanitize the
system.
1. Make sure that the system has been flushed of
air and debris as described in the Flushing and
Starting up the System section of this manual.
2. open the tap closest downstream to the filter sys-
tem.
3. Close the inlet water valve and allow the system
to depressurize.
4. Place a bucket under the strainer at the inlet
connection to the system. open the strainer by
unscrewing the cap. Water will flow out of the
strainer as the system drains.
5. When the water flow out of the strainer stops,
pour the liquid bleach into the strainer. Be careful
not to spill bleach onto clothing or skin. You may
want to add the bleach using a cup. Reattach the
cap on the strainer.
6. Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water
to flow out of the tap until the smell of bleach is
present.
7. Close the tap and let the system stand with no
water flow for at least 15 minutes to allow the
bleach to sanitize the pipes.
8. After 15 minutes without flow, open the tap and
flush until the presence of bleach is gone. All
other taps should be opened to flush any bleach
from the plumbing.
9. Close the tap. The sanitization is complete.
Program the timer following the procedure outlined in
the operation section of this manual.
