START UP INSTRUCTIONS
•
Sanitize the system with good quality unscented liquid chlorine household bleach and follow the
sanitizing instruction given in maintenance section of this manual.
•
Slowly open the feed water valve counterclockwise and inspect plumbing for leaks.
•
Fully open the holding tank valve.
•
Let the system to fill holding tank and when system automatically shuts off, then open the faucet to
drain all water stored in holding tank. Repeat this step 2 more times.
•
Do not use the water of first three full holding tanks.
CAUTION: The Reverse Osmosis Membrane is shipped with a preservative in it (0.5% sodium
metabisulfite). This will be rinsed out with the first water produced. Allow the Holding Tank to fill
(overnight) and discard the first three full tanks of production.
When the Faucet is first opened, expect air and carbon fines (very fine black powder) from the In-Line
Activated Carbon Post Filter to be rinsed out. This is normal for the first tank of water or after when In-
line filter is changed.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Tools Required
Normal Operation
Reverse Osmosis systems produce drinking water at relatively slow rates. Normal operation is to let the
Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank fill with water and then draw water as is needed. When the pressure in
the Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank falls to a given pressure (as the water is being used) the Automatic
Shut-Off Valve (ASO Valve) will start water production and the Reverse Osmosis system will refill the
Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank. When the Reverse Osmosis Holding Tank is full and no water is being
used, the ASO Valve will automatically shut off the feed water to conserve water. The more water that is
used (up to the capacity of the system) the better the Reverse Osmosis system will function.
After periods of non-use, such as a week of vacation, it is better to empty the Reverse Osmosis Holding
Tank and allow the Reverse Osmosis system to produce fresh water for use.
