3. 

Wait for tank to fill: 

Before usage, allow the tank to fill. Tank normally takes 

2-3 hours

 to fill. 

When the tank is filled, the RO will shut off automatically.

4. 

Drain Tank:   

Please do not use the first tank of water. Once the tank has filled, open 
the drinking water faucet to drain the tank and filters.

 It will usually take 

about 5 minutes to flush the unit. When the tank is completely empty water will 
simply trickle out the faucet. At this time, please close the drinking faucet and allow 
the unit another 2-3 hours to refill the tank. The 2nd tank of water will be ready for 
use.

Please Note: 

Water may come out dark for the first few seconds on the initial 

flush, and then clear right up. This is due to the GAC (granular activated carbon) 
post filter.

5. 

Clean up area: 

Allow the system to run while cleaning up tools and work area.

6. 

Check for leaks!

 Make sure 

no leaking 

at joints, fittings, valves, and tubing connections.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Reverse Osmosis System!

Step 7:  System Start-Up

1.

  Turn on feed water: 

Slowly, turn on your Cold water supply. Open the Needle Valve (turn 

counter-

clockwise

) to allow the raw water to enter the system. 

Check for leaks!

2. 

Open tank valve: 

Open the tank’s ball valve to allow water to enter the tank. The tank’s valve is

 

“On”

  when the valve handle is parallel (in the same direction) with the valve’s outlet (

see Fig. 12

). 

Check for leaks!

3.  

UV Light

: Please attach the UV Transformer to the UV light, then to power outlet. The UV light

     indicator will illuminate once the UV unit is powered.
