INSTALLATION (continued)

Sanitizing the System and Lines

The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible contam-

ination that may have occurred during the installation process. 
One ounce (30 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach (regular bleach, 

unscented 5.25 % - 6 % sodium hypochlorite) or Kay-5 

sanitizer solution (Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione Dihydrate, 

6%) or equivalent can be used to sanitize the plumbing. 
The Kay-5 sanitizer solution is made by dissolving a 1 oz. 

packet of Kay-5 powder in 2 oz. (60 ml) of clean warm water. 

This can be done by removing 1 inch from the top of the 

Kay-5 packet and adding the 2 oz. of warm water to the pack-

et. Mix with a coffee stirrer to dissolve. When added to the 

system, this will create a 60-100 ppm chlorine solution. 

NOTE: Follow the handling and safety instructions  

supplied with the bleach.
NOTE: If installed, remove the Carbon Element from the 

system BEFORE Sanitizing.

  1.  Follow the steps in the 

Rinsing the Ultra Filter 

Cartridge

 in the Installation section of this manual. 

  2.  Turn off the water to the system.

  3.  Open the faucet or tap closest downstream to the  

system. 

  4.  Allow the system and plumbing to drain.

  5.  If an inlet sanitation fitting is installed, remove the plug 

or disconnect the water line at the inlet of the system. 

Allow the water to drain out of the system.

  6.  Pour the sanitizer into the inlet sanitation fitting or inlet 

water line using a cup or funnel. Be careful not to spill 

bleach onto clothing or skin. 

  7.  Reattach the plug on the sanitation fitting.

  8.  Slowly turn on the water supply to the system. 

  9.  Allow water to flow through the system and out of the 

open faucet or tap until the smell of bleach is present.

  10.  Close the faucet or tap.

  11.  Let the system stand without water flow for at least 15 

minutes to allow the bleach to sanitize the pipes.

  12.  After 15 minutes without water flow, open the faucet or 

tap.

  13.  Allow water to flow through the system until the  

presence of bleach is gone. 

  14.  Open all other faucets and taps in line with the system 

to flush any remaining bleach from the plumbing.

  15.  Close all faucets and taps.

Rinsing the Carbon Element

The Carbon Element MUST be rinsed before using the sys-

tem the first time and immediately after the Carbon Element 

has been replaced.

  1.  Install the Carbon Element into the Carbon Element 

Housing.

  2.  Screw the Carbon Element Housing (containing the 

Carbon Element) into place on the Carbon Element 

Head. The Housing will come to a hard stop at the end 

of the thread. Use a Filter Wrench if necessary.

NOTE: Do NOT overtighten the Carbon Element Housing.

  3.  Direct water from the Rinse Ball Valve to a drain. 

  4.  Then open the Rinse Ball Valve and close the Outlet 

Ball Valve.

  5.  Turn on the water to the system by slowly opening the 

Inlet Ball Valve.

  6.  Allow water to flow through the Carbon Element 

Housing to flush out trapped air and any debris that 

may be present.

  7.  To help remove trapped air from the Housings, press 

the RED Pressure Relief Button on the top of the hous-

ings until water just begins to come out.

  8.  Flush the Carbon Element for at least 5 minutes.

NOTE: Do NOT consume water used during this process.

  9.  When the rinsing is complete, close the Rinse Ball 

Valve and open the Outlet Ball Valve.

  10.  The system is now ready for use.

 11. 

For new piping installations: 

After making the  

connection to the System Outlet:

a.  Open the faucet or tap closest to the filter system

b.  Slowly open the Inlet Valve. 

c.  Allow the pipe to flush until all debris is removed.
