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 ounce
(30 ml) of bleach will be sufficient to sanitize the sys-
tem.
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 care-
ful not to spill bleach onto clothing or skin. You
may want to add the bleach using a cup or fun-
nel. Reattach the cap on the strainer or the inlet
plumbing line.
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.
10. Remember to reinstall the carbon cartridge as
described in the
Install and Flush the Carbon
Cartridge
section of this manual.
Program the timer following the procedure outlined in
the Operation section of this manual.
INSTALLATION (continued)
IMPORTANT
The carbon cartridge must be removed from the
filter system during the sanitization process.
