Cartridge Installation and Activation
1. Remove the outer shrink-wrap and protective closure from the pre-filter, TO and RO
cartridges.
2. Remove the sump from the pre-filter housing. Install the pre-filter into the sump. Locate the
O-ring in the small parts pack. Lightly lubricate this O-ring with a food grade lubricant and
install it into the groove in the sump. Re-install the sump with pre-filter and O-ring into the
pre-filter head.
3. Open the TO flush valve. Install the TO cartridge into the TO head (right hand), following the
instructions on the cartridge. Position a bucket or other container under the TO flush valve.
Slowly open the inlet shut-off valve. Carbon fines and air will be flushed out of the TO flush
valve during this time. Flush until water runs clear (3-5 minutes typically). Close the inlet
shut-off valve and the TO flush valve.
4. Install the RO cartridge into the RO head (left hand). Rotate the handle on the product water
3-way sample valve so it is pointing towards the drain connection (front of unit). Close the
filtered water blend valve.
5. Slowly open the inlet shut-off valve. Position a bucket or other container under the product
water 3-way sample valve drain connection. Slowly open the inlet shut-off valve. Plug the 24
VAC transformer into a 115-Volt receptacle. Water will begin to flow out of the RO discharge
tubing and product water 3-way sample valve drain connection.
WARNING:
Do not use this product water! It may contain a preservative solution from the
RO cartridge and should not be consumed!
6. If you are utilizing the capillary tubing assembly, refer to the section titled “Adjusting the
Recovery” for instructions. Return to this section when complete.
7. Allow the system to flush for at least 1 hour or until 1 gallon of product water has been
produced. Close the inlet shut-off valve.
Start-Up and Blend Adjustment
1. When flushing is complete, the storage tank requires filling with chlorinated water, time for
effective disinfection, and then complete draining. The steps for this are outlined below.
Prepare for draining the storage tank by doing one of the following:
a) Remove the drain plug on the storage tank and temporarily install a nipple, valve and
hose or tubing to drain.
b) Disconnect the tubing/piping connected to one of the systems being serviced by the
RO. Divert the tubing/piping to drain as required.
2. Rotate the handle on the product water 3-way sample valve so it is pointing towards the
storage tank connection (rear of unit). The system will now begin to fill the storage tank with
product water. Remove the storage tank access cover. Pour 2 ounces of 5.25% bleach into
the storage tank. Open the filtered water blend valve fully and allow the storage tank to fill
until the level switch stops the flow of water. Close the filtered water blend valve. Disconnect
the 24 VAC transformer from the 115-Volt receptacle. Manually add additional water to the
storage tank until completely full. Reinstall the storage tank access cover. Allow the
chlorinated water to remain in the storage tank for 10 minutes to disinfect the storage tank
effectively. Close the filtered water blend valve.
