System Start Up
1. Turn on the Water Supply
Allow the system to start filling with water.
2. Fast Flush the System
Open the Ultrefiner II faucet and turn the drain barrel to the fast flush
(“F” on the drain barrel)position (see figure 12).
3. Reposition the Drain Barrel
Once the air has been purged from the system, position the drain
barrel in #2 service position(see figure 13). The storage tank will
continue to fill with water.
The drain barrel must always be positioned with the arrow pointing at
numbers 1 – 4 or “F.” In each location, a hole of fixed size is positioned
internally over the drain connection, controlling the flow rate for that
setting. Do not position the drain barrel between settings, as this does
not provide any fine tuning and may even block drain flow by putting an
internal seal directly over the drain connection.
Position “0” shuts off drain flow. The system should never be left in posi-
tion “0,” as this will cause the membrane to foul. This position is
provided only as a diagnostic tool.
4. Check for Leaks
If a leak is present, make the necessary repairs.
5. Fill the System
When the water stops flowing to the drain, the system should be fully
pressurized and the storage tank should be filled with water.
6. Drain the Storage Tank
Open the Ultrefiner II faucet and drain all the water from the storage
tank.
!
Important Note: It is common to experience
cloudy water, cloudy or hazy ice cubes and/or
air bubbles when the system is new or after the
filters/cartridges have been changed. This is
simply due to air trapped in the system which
will soon dissipate.
Helpful Tips: Maintaining a fresh water supply
in the storage tank will promote better opera-
tion of the membrane cartridge.
When you go on vacation, close the cold water
inlet valve. When you return from vacation,
open the cold water inlet valve, drain the
storage tank and fast flush the system.
!
Important Note: This procedure will flush any
remaining residue from the storage tank.
!
Important Note: The 24 hour flush will ensure
the proper rinsing of the Ultrefiner II
Membrane.

Helpful Tips: In both the fast flush and # 2 posi-
tion, the ears of the drain barrel are aligned with
the mounting screws. To make it easier to identify
positions, there is a raised rib at the “F” position.
