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 UV Option Only
Connect UV lamp cord and plug in transformer unit to typical 110v electric outlet. (UU250, UU350 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, refrigerators 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 all 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.
Leave Spanner Wrench that came with unit and this Service Guide on top of unit bracket to assist consumer.
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, saddle tapping valve, 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.

WARNING:
Maximum pressure is 65 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 recommended by many manufacturers’ of many different household items, plumbing products and appli-
ances and must be checked annually. A point of use (sink location) pressure limiting valve is also available.
