A proper start-up insures the system is without issues.
If anything is discovered, this is the time to discover it and correct any problems or questions that arise.
Lack of any, or a proper, start-up will void the warranty.
Step 1
For Essential DWS with UV Upgrade Only
Connect UV lamp cord and plug in transformer unit to typical 110v electric outlet. (DWS-UV only)
NOTE:
Electrical outlet must be dedicated and unswitched. Be aware of any GFI outlets and the need to reset. Surge supression highly
recommended.
Step 2
Pull up and lock dispenser/faucet handle (if using another type of dispenser - put into open position). This will allow water to
flow in the open position. Turn off water supply to other devices. Do not make this water available to any ice-makers, refrigera
-
tors or any other devices until the system is completely flushed and running clear.
Step 3 Slowly - Turn on or open any main water supply which was shut off earlier.
Step 4
Open or make sure there is inlet water supply to the system. Water will begin to flow from dispenser/faucet. Initially it may
sputter until it reaches full flow. Allow system to run steadily for approximately 2 minutes or more, if needed. This will wash
carbon fines and air from the system. End this flushing of the system once water runs clear. System is now available to use as
normal. Open water supply to other devices, if applicable.
NOTE:
If you draw your water into a glass and it appears to be cloudy, it’s only air and nothing bad. Let the glass sit and watch the air rise
and dissipate. The filter cartridges used are full bed depth. The carbon (GAC) cartridges have a great deal of surface area. With
usage, it may take 24-48 hours for this to correct itself.
Step 5
Inspect for leaks at all connections, fittings and/or housings. If a problem exists, please shut off water supply to the system and
consider the following solutions:
•
Plumbing connections at the inlet/supply connection or angle stop.
Please review these plumbing procedures and correct.
•
Plumbing connections to dispenser/faucet and any other fixtures or cross-connections. Please review and correct.
•
Inspect for leaks at all unit connections such as connections between housings, UV housing and connections (if
applicable), cartridge housings. Report any issues for assistence or needed part(s).
•
Inspect for leaks at the labeled “FEED” and “FAUCET” connections between the supplied tubing and the quick connect
fittings. To insure proper connection, give a light “tug” (
not
a hard pull) on tubing to check the grip on all fittings.
If any damage was identified in shipping or handling. You’ll need to make a claim with the shipper, as indicated on our
Packing Materials, our Packing Slip and the published General Terms and Standard Conditions of Sale.
If you have identified a problem, please contact our offices. Let us know if we can offer advice on a plumbing issue that
may not be related to the actual unit, or a question or issue that may be unit related. If in need of a part under warranty we can
readily send it. Parts (original only) needed out of warranty can be obtained through your contractor, local distribution or at www.
waterontheweb.com.
WARNING:
Maximum pressure is 75 PSI. Pressure unregulated can surge or exceed the maximum rating on this and many items
in the home. High pressure creates a water hammer or banging pipes. It’s also the reason to use stainless hoses for washer machine
connections and not the rubber. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) at your main water service line (if not code) is greatly recom
-
mended by many manufacturers’ of many different household items, plumbing products and appliances and must be checked
annually. A point of use (sink location) pressure limiting valve is also available.
