Attach Plumbing
Attach the necessary pipes, valves, and fittings to each side of the system.
Once all of your pipes and connections are complete and flow is opened you are ready to turn your
water back on.
Restart Water Flow
Turn your main water valve back on slowly. You will be able to hear the sound of water entering the
Whole House Filtration System, after a while the system will be full and sound will stop. Now, you will
need to flush the system before you are ready to use the water.
Go to your nearest water faucet and turn on a flow of
COLD WATER
.
DO NOT USE HOT WATER FOR THE SYSTEM FLUSH
Observe your system and piping for any leaks.
The flush water will be blackish as loose carbon particles are flushed out of the system. The water may
also appear cloudy as air bubbles are pushed out of the system and your pipes after the shut down.
This is perfectly normal. Run the water until it becomes clear, then run for 5 additional minutes before
turning the faucet off.
Wait 30 minutes, then run the cold water again for 10 minutes.
Shut off your faucet.
Your system is now ready for use!
Start-Up Notes
The cloudiness may persist for anywhere between 1 day to 1 week as your system and pipes expel tiny
air bubbles from your plumbing and the carbon filters. This is perfectly normal and the air bubbles are
harmless. They should clear up within a week of regular use.
Occasionally check for leaks during your first week of use to be sure all of your connections are stable.
You can flush the old non-filtered hot water from your plumbing by running your hot water at this
point. Or you can expend this water through regular use over the next few days.
Make sure to turn your water heater on again.
