1) Flushing is only possible when the system is filling.
Pressure gauge will read zero (0) when the system is idle.
Empty the storage tank until you hear water begin to
flow.
2) Move the handle
on the flush valve to
the “Open - Flush”
position. This will
allow water to flow
rapidly across the

contaminants.
3) Set a kitchen timer so you do not forget to return the
flush valve to the closed position.
Flushing once per week for 5 minutes is ideal.
If you
forget to flush the system for an extended period of time
perform an exhaustive flush by leaving the flush valve
open for 20 minutes.
If your unit has not been used for more than one week
(e.g. while you are on vacation), drain the storage tank
(use the water for watering plants, etc.) then flush the
membrane for 5-10 minutes as described above.
IMPORTANT: Monitor your system and check for
leaks frequently over the first week.
Most leaks are attributed to tubing not fully seated
inside the Speedfit® fittings. Remove the red lock clip,
compress the collet, and remove the tubing. Re-insert
the tubing until you feel it bottom out on the tubing
end-stop. Replace the red lock clip. This process
solves 99% of leaking connections. If the leak persists,
trim ¼" – ½" off the end of the tubing and try again.
